I have a similar but different interpretation.
1. Noi rejected Ba Yan and changed her faith kicking off the chain reaction.
2. Nim had gone off to dressmaker school(I think that’s what they said) when Noi rejected Ba Yan, Nim faked being a Shaman this whole time. She wanted to be the one.
3. Noi married into the cursed family that Ba Yan despised. Got pregnant and had Ming.
4. Ming had a relationship that shouldn’t have occurred with (don’t remember the name) but the family member. Adding another layer.
5. Mink started to let them in since she wanted to connect with her love them knew bad things started to happen. Which escalated and I do believe Ba Yan was the main one to start but Nim interfered because she wanted to be the still be the chosen one as Noi suspects. Which Nim was faking and they would see the truth.
6. Noi was in Denial and Nim was faking her gift adding more problems.
7. Noi then added more issues due to that ceremony while Nim caused worse issues by interrupting it causing a full scale legion type possession.
8. Then the chaos starts while preparing and her and that other Shaman was preparing, he found out she was faking it.
9. Nim kills herself because she knows that she can’t help and her lies would be told. This is why he doesn’t say anything at the funeral when asked.
10. Ba Yan was being exercised out with the rest of the spirits so of course it’s full scale war.
There is more stuff. But it is ultimately Ba Yans revenge against the left of the line that become so badly tainted she had to rid the of them and everyone connected. It makes me wonder if Mink is going to revert back and be the new shaman or will she kill her? Also her alter is destroyed.
There is so much in this movie that doesn’t seem like a lot until those credits role. Lots of spelling out what’s really going on. Lots of forshadowing.
Excellent film.
