This movie blends comedy, romance and a little bit of horror. The female lead, Son Ye-jin, plays Yeo-ri a young woman who can see dead people. And not nice, friendly dead people, but some haunting, frightening characters. Lee Min-ki is a magician who spots Yeo-ri in the crowd at one of his performances and senses something different about her. After getting the story of what she sees - he works her into his stage show in a horror magical piece that leaves audiences on the edge of the seats and enhances his magic career. Soon the two become friends, and quite quickly become more than friends. Not sure if it is because I thought this was a series at first but I found that the story moved entirely too fast for me. It was really hard for me to envision them having fallen for each other because it just did not see like that much time had passed. He is willing to give up a lot and put up with a lot to be with her and I just did not get that level of connection. I am a big chicken when it comes to horror movies and I did not find this one very frightening at all. It also did not show enough of what she experienced to drive home just how horrific her life was. I would not recommend this one - I did not find it very entertaining. I also did not feel the two of them made a very convincing romantic couple.
