A Tale Of Two Sisters ****Possible Spoilers****

I watched this one with my girlfriend last night also. (She loves Asian horror)

I really, really like this movie. My main gripe is that I have no clue what happened at the end, I don't get it. Possibly because my girlfriend wouldn't be quiet long enough for me to concentrate on it(she talks during movies).

Any help on explaining the ending would be appreciated.

I love this movie, and have watched it several times. But I still have no idea what really is going on. It's based on a traditional Korean folktale which I'd like to find and read. Maybe it would help.
Good luck finding an explaination....

yes, i know so much is so ordinary, so coarse, and so vulgar. but survival is simply not enough. nowhere near.
what's the point of surviving? survive what? don't you realize you're going to die? f*ck your missions, your crusade.
i demand and expect quality.
right now, once and for all.
quality time.

I get the part that the one sister(Su-Yeon) is already dead. But who killed her? Did the Stepmother do it by leaving the wardrobe on her, or did the other sister(Su-Mi) do it by beating her with a crowbar?

Or is it that Su-Mi killed her, and imagined herself as the stepmother doing it?

And what about the girl under the counter? Was the girl under the counter the one at the end that made the stepmother scream? And was it Su-Yeon?

I personally enjoyed this film, but the ending was really confusing. If I could know the ending, I wouldn't be so worried about it. AHHHH!

how about, the sister and the stepmom are figments of her guilt-ridden imagination of not being there when her sister needed her

the sister died under the wardrobe.



when su-mi leaves the mental facility, her breakdown has left her in world where su-yeon isn't dead (hence releaving her guilt) and she will always be there for her and protect her. in order for her to fulfill this there has to be someone for her to protect su-yeon from.....hence the stepmother eun-joo.

(note how only su-mi and eun-joo talk to su-yeon during the film, not the father. since we now know that su-yeon is dead and is only imagined to be alive by su-mi, this points to eun-joo also being a part of this fantasy.)

eun-joo begins mistreating su-yeon, locking her in the wardrobe...and it's up to su-mi to save her.

when her father reminds her that su-yeon is dead, she really loses grip on reality......things escalate...

...then at the end, the father comes home with eun-joo.



eun-joo is alive and well, she just hasn't been at the house when su-mi left hospital.

Ooooh, Ok. Now I see.

Thanks for clearing that up. It has been bugging me since I watched it.

Only two last things that are puzzling me.

Who is the ghost you see during the film? The one under the sink and the one that is in the bedroom.

One of the ghosts gets Eun-Joo at the end.

Also, did Eun-Joo kill the mother of the two sisters?

i thought it was suicide, possibly brought on by the father possibly having a relationship with eun-joo (who seems to have been nursing the mother in her poor health)
