so did they confirm season 2? i don't think i seen any official announcements from netflix.
i think how they left the "evil" unexplained is perfectly fine. I mean, that's how it is with "irl" hauntings no? there is an evil that can't really pinpoint to one thing or reason other than that it exists and in some cases its more concentrated than other places.
anyway, i am glad i was able to watch this and i enjoyed everything,. even the ending. It was sad but not every movie/show needs a happy ending. you can see that in plenty of korean films and some of them are masterpieces.

i had a friend wanting an explanation about the room, the other ghosts there and the absolute reason why it was evil. i think if i knew all that it would ruin the mystery of what evil is. cant just pin it on someone and call it a day and say , "yeah it was that guy/girl/group! oh maan, F them! They ruined so many peoples lives!" it just is, like chaos is in the world. it just is. How they explained that the world is unforgiving, chews you, and spits you out. its what they all experienced while trying to live their lives in the "world".
but if they do a season 2 i can't really see a continuation of the characters. i dont see any real progress and story telling like they did they in 1 . The ghosts mentioned in small stories were enough for me to understand that things happened in the house or in the forest. like the tall hat man was the father who felt guilt and shame and cemented himself in the basement. then the zombie/ghost in the basement tied to the illegal works of the liquor movement during that period of time. suggesting that sometimes bad things happen and someone was probably killed because they discovered the secret and werent supposed to know. people died in the house without something killing them too. just from illness or old age.
idk .. but I guess if they have to make a season 2, it would need to be a prequal of sorts where it's the original family (hills right?) who built it and what events that may have led to conjuring concentrated evil there. not pinpointing on a person but on events. I also liked the nod about the "dogs" or imo, actual "hell hounds" in search of souls for hell or whatever. usually hounds/dogs are associated with demons no?
