For those who's seen 'the unedit and unseen' version

Spoiler if you haven't watched the "unedit and unseen" version of Memento Mori which comes with a 6-disc edition. So even if you've seen the movie Memento Mori it still spoils if you haven't seen the version I'm talking about (and the version I'm talking about contains deleted scenes and so on which gives the movie a very different plot and has a different ending.)

-SPOILERS-

So, in the end, just after Shi-eun left the roof where now Hyo-shin is standing there alone, Min-ah suddenly comes around the corner of the "stairs-building" (hard to explain :S) and walks toward Hyo-shin. She sais something to Hyo-shin in a very bitchy tone. So, I'm wondering, what did Min-ah say to Hyo-shin??? I have know idea what she said because there were no subtitle and this seems to have something to do why Shi-eun pushed Hyo-shin from the roof.

I kinda suck in explaining things but I hope you understand what I mean.

I have not seen it, but what is it called? I have seen only the 4 disc GHOST SCHOOL TRILOGY. If there is a 6 disc version, I would like to see it.

I've seen this version, it had french subs so I had to use google translate to translate it into English...pain in the butt to do all this but it was worth it.

I think the extra scenes completely explain why Min-ah was tormented by Hyo-shin. Basically the extra scenes reveal that Min-ah had gone up there and told Hyo-shin to leave Shi-eun alone (I think Min-ah had a crush on Shin-eun) and (if I recall this correctly, I translated this a few years ago) she also made the bogus claim to Hyo-shin that Shi-eun had moved on and gotten over her. I think she even implied that she was with Shi-eun. This then led to what we did see in the movie: as a result of what Min-ah said, Hyo-shin jumped and committed suicide. Which then makes sense of why Min-ah was getting tormented by Hyo-shin.

A lot of people on forums complain why Hyo-shin was haunting Min-ah when Min-ah was a good person...this scene showed that she directly instigated Hyo-shin's death. I don't think the director should have cut out this scene, but rather he should have revealed it at the very end of the movie, making everything clear.

Thank you acAeris99. After searching for so long, I've finally found an explanation/translation for that deleted scene.

This scene, while providing an interesting twist to the entire story, does not fit very well in the movie. Most of the time Min-ah looked as if she was clueless to why Hyo-shin died, instead of being guilty about her death. At least that's how I feel, i may be wrong. Perhaps that's why the scene was deleted in the end.

What were some of the extra scenes in this version? Were there any more 'strange' occurrences at the school? I heard something about a missing tooth and a bth tub scene. Spoilers please!

Spoiler

I'm quite shocked that there seems to be quite a discrepancy between the cut version and the uncut version. They only show half the film which is halfbaked as there are many scences that only seem to indicate what's going on and leave it to the audience to guess, which probably spoils the film a bit. I also think it is, at least the cut version, not really a horror film as the horror scenes are not really scary. This film is more of a drama with visions of a dead girl who haunts the conscience of the living, and less a real ghost story film. I also find the chronological order of the film a bit confusing. I guess the story can be told in 98 minutes, but they obviously cut important scenes. I liked the soundtrack immensely.
