Why did the ghost in the kitchen look young? Potential plot hole?


If the ghost in the kitchen was supposedly Su-yeon, then why did she look considerably younger and have longer hair and a brighter green dress? Aren't ghosts supposed to look the same way as the person they died as? I don't recall Su-yeon's dress being that brightly green when she died.

I don't accept that what we saw was a ghost.

Having said that, when Eun-Joo discovered Su-Yeon beneath the fallen wardrobe, she accidentally knocked a framed photograph onto the floor. It was a photograph of a younger Su-Yeon in a dress that looks very similar to that seen when Mi-Hee is having her seizure. Mi-Hee is a friend of the family and quite possibly remembers Su-Yeon wearing that dress in happier times. Those memories are now being corrupted and thrown back at her as a form of guilt fuelled self punishment/torture for what she sees as her part in Su-Yeon's death ... IMHO.

Oh now I get but in the photograph, Su-yeon doesn't have long hair. She always had short hair so I still don't get the long hair bit.

It's really impossible to see her hair length in that photo. She could have her hair brushed back so most of it is behind her, we just don't know.
