Synopsis
Set in
the Joseon Dynasty period, a female ghost (Shin Min-A), who was murdered, appears in
front of a government official (Lee Joon-Gi) and
pleads for the man to punish her murderer. The government official then
attempts to appease her wishes.
....
Eun-Oh (Lee Joon-Gi) is one of the few who can see
and hear ghosts. He heads for Miryang where he last saw his mother. His mother
has being missing for 10 years. While walking with his servant (Kwon Oh-Jung), Eun-Oh sees a ghost named
Arang (Shin Min-A) being chased by ghost hunter
Moo-Young (Han Jeong-Su). Eun-Oh pretends to not see
them, as this is his usual routine when he comes across ghosts. Arang is able
to get away from Moo-Young the ghost hunter by throwing peach blossom petals at
him.
Meanwhile,
it begins to rain heavily. Eun-Oh and his servant comes across a small
abandoned shack and go inside for shelter. While Eun-Oh sits in front of a
fire, he sees the door of the shack open. The ghost Arang comes inside and sits
next to Eun-Oh. Arang begins to mutter to herself and then takes off her
soaking wet dress. She then notices Eun-Oh glance towards her. Arang wonders to
herself if Eun-Oh is able to see her and begins to prod him for a reaction.
Eun-Oh freezes and pretends he is looking past her. He then goes to lie down on
the floor and pretends to be sleep. Arang lies down next to him.
The next
morning Arang is gone. When Eun-Oh and Dol-Soe get to Miryang, Joo-Wal (Yeon Woo-Jin) and his father Choi pass by.
Choi is a nobleman and the most powerful person in Miryang. While Eun-Oh is on
the way to see the woman who saw his mother last, a bunch of ghosts appear in
front of him and asks him for a favor. Eun-Oh turns down their request.
Meanwhile, Arang, who is sitting atop a nearby roof, sees Eun-Oh talking to the
ghosts and is now sure that he can see and hear ghosts.
When
Eun-Oh turns around, Arang is standing in front of him. She asks Eun-Oh to find
out her name, but Eun-Oh refuses. He tells her to go to government office and
ask a magistrate. Arang asks him that if he becomes a magistrate would he
accepts her request? Eun-Oh says yes to appease her, but he has no desire to
become a magistrate.
Arang
then puts in place a plan to make Eun-Oh a magistrate. She goes to shaman
Bang-Wool (Hwang Bo-Ra), who later tells public
officers in Miryang to kidnap Eun-Oh and make him the magistrate. Eun-Oh is
then forcible taken by public officers and bound in the magistrate room. Arang
stand in front of him again and asks him to find out her name. Eun-Oh again
refuses.
Arang
goes back to Bang-Wool for advice. Shaman Bang-Wool tells her that if she makes
herself attractive, Eun-Oh will accept her request. While they work to make
Arang more attractive, Moo-Young the ghost huner appears. Arang then flees from
the area. Eun-Oh, who is standing nearby, notices a "binyeo" (Korean
traditional hairpin) that Arang is wearing. The binyeo is identical to the one
he gave to his mother. Suddenly, Eun-Oh goes after Arang, who is being chased
by Moo-Young the ghost hunter.
