Young-sook’s spiritually abusive mother gaslights her.

The narrative also validates the mother’s abuse of Young-sook, suggesting that it would have been best if she had been murdered, because when the protagonist attempts to help her, she becomes increasingly violent and abusive and becomes a serial killer.

A woman abuses her adopted daughter though the abuse is only seen when the daughter is 28. The younger version of the main character is emotionally mistreated by the antagonist as well.

Skip from 1:18:00 to 1:18:50 to avoid seeing any of the puppies. Following the above comment: nothing is shown explicitly, but it is implied.
