Why doesn't Mido remember her father when she first saw him, despite the hypnosis process?
I just saw "Oldboy" (the Korean one) a few days ago and I really enjoyed it, but I just don't get why Mido (Oh-Dae Su's daughter) can't remember her father's face or name.
I know she has been hypnotized and everything but she still had a childhood and her life, and at the beginning of the movie Oh Dae Su wants to talk to her on the phone for her birthday, that means she can speak/understand people, so she was obviously old enough to remember her father's face and/or name... A few weeks later her mother is murdered (and Oh Dae Su is false-accused because the police can't find him). It's such a tragic and important event in a life I can't believe she forgot completely about it and the name and/or face of the one who killed her mother only because she has been hypnotized.
Plus, if Oh Dae Su doesn't know her name (Mido) that means they changed it as well --and that she completely forgot about her old name. Is it possible? So maybe Oh Dae Su can't recognize his daughter because it has been too long and because of the hypnosis, but is it logical that MIDO doesn't recognize her own father?

Oh Dae-su is the one who "died" and The Monster is the one who "survived". The smile he smiles when he hugs Mi-do is one of madness that he knows the secret and will have to keep the secret forever. The hypnotism failed.How does the movie Oldboy end?
After all, neither of the characters attempting to get revenge in the film have good endings. Lee Woo-jin shoots himself after convincing himself that revenge was all he wanted out of life, thus preventing him from ever moving on and forever locking his life to the past, and Oh Dae-su tries to make himself stay with ...To X Who Doesn't Love Me (2022) Official Trailer | NCT Doyoung, Han Ji Hyo, Kwon Areum | Kdrama
