Run barefoot
Spite
Shanxian, however, was moved by Taizhu's desire. It was also at this time that his blood began to change qualitatively, and he could hear the voices of all things and see the slightest thing.
This blood turned the sage into a bat-like person, the vampire often spoken of in the West.
While praying for a seriously injured patient in the hospital, Sun-hyun couldn't help but lick the blood of the patient on his hand, and he couldn't help but suck the blood of the patient who had been lying in bed for a long time from the infusion tube.

The blind elders of Zen-hyun demand that Zen-hyun turn himself into a vampire, but this demand is that Zen-hyun get confused because the priest he trusts can abandon his faith for eternal life.
He took off his status as a priest and moved into Kangyou's house in the name of Kangyou's friend. I also walked into the world of Taizhu. It turned out that the joy of desire was like this, and Shangxian, who enjoyed all this pleasure, completely broke free from the priest's siege.
In the name of love, Tae-joo attracts Sang-hyun even more, and Sang-hyun, who has always insisted on not killing people, finally agrees to her proposal for Tae-joo. They drowned Kang You in the river.

Kang Woo's mother suffered a stroke due to great grief, Sun Hyun and Tae Joo tormented each other on the edge of madness, they kept seeing the dead Kang Woo, and finally Sun Hyun couldn't help but strangle Tae Joo to death, and he felt a huge emptiness at that moment, so he turned Tae Joo into the same kind with his own blood, all of which was looked at by Kang Woo's mother.
Tae-joo dies

This move makes Tae-joo more unscrupulous, she begins to kill her life at will, Ande-hyun also chooses to let it go after stopping it, and when Tae-joo is sucking the doctor's blood, Kang's card friends come to the door again, and they are also the ones who humiliate Tae-joo.

desertion
Tae-hyun is not going to flee, but to die.
He drove the car to the edge of the sea, where the land was wide and unobstructed, he disregarded Tae-joo's resistance and destroyed all the places where the car could block the sun, he wanted to end everything, and took the mad tai-joo to die in the sun, and Tae-joo finally compromised, and she put on the shoes that Sun-hyun had given her.

To die
The sun rose, and the two turned to ashes in their embrace, leaving only the shoes that Sun-hyun had given Tae-joo.
Hugged
The original love
The film is black and depressing. Taizhu is very beautiful, fragile, broken beauty, like a red flower falling on a muddy swamp, and through rain and dew, and see wind and frost.
The pain of Tae-joo's character, her upbringing determines her evil, the death of her mother, the abandonment of her father, the humiliation of sending people under the fence, forced to marry Kang You, and enduring the scorn and teasing of everyone. So when she meets Shanxian, she will be wrapped up like a vine, she is evil, she forges her own scars to stimulate Shanxian's pity, with The ability of Shanxian to kill her husband, she does not love anyone, nor does she love herself, so whether she becomes a monster, the decisiveness of the killing, the pain is complete.
The transformation of The Sage from a priest to a monster is not only the change brought by the blood, but the collapse of faith and the awakening of lust. What he had always believed to be the right belief was broken by the blind priest, so when he killed the blind priest, he also destroyed his original identity. At the beginning of lust, there is still restraint, and after restraint, it is like a surge, so it is willing to be manipulated by emotion and harm others and harm oneself.
The evil of Kang You and his mother lies in indifference and unscrupulous harm, and the evil of the bystander lies in watching the drama and secret evil thoughts.
The evil of everyone in the movie has cause and effect.
