has been a month since the movie was released in South Korea. Professional film critics have analyzed several characteristics. This poster can actually tell the ending. First, there is a pair of legs lying under the poster. Because the upper body is not exposed, it arouses curiosity. The white and tender legs are presumed to be girls' feet. In addition, there are two girls in this movie, Wen Guang and Ji Ting. Death, so these legs symbolize "female death".
Second, in the pictorial, the president and wife are male lying down and female sitting respectively. If red wine is interpreted as blood, then the hostess holds a red wine glass in her hand, which symbolizes that she is connected to the blood, but the host puts the red wine glass On the ground, it means that he is dead. In addition, the male host lying on the chair, like the legs of the person lying underneath, is a symbol of "death", implying that the person lying in the poster did not survive.
