5th Mistress looks like Yan'er!! (spoiler)

Don't you think the 5th Mistress (at the end) look like Yan'er, the servant who died???
Is this just a coincidence??

I didn't see a resemblance either. Except maybe the same miserable, lost expression... ;)

It's been a while since I've seen the film, but I think it's the same actress.

The servant and the fifth wife are two different people! Yan'er's eyes are narrower and closer together and her lips have a different shape. Believe me, it's two different people.

They do not look alike at all...

They are not the same actress, definitely.

However, there IS a casual resemblance between them. It's pretty obvious.

I believe this is deliberate, and that Zhang probably cast the 5th wife because she has a bit of a similar look to Ya'ner. Remember the Master had a thing for Ya'Ner, but would never marry her because of her servant status. It makes a certain amount of sense that his 5th wife might be chosen because she reminds him of Ya'ner. It's not coincidence.
