This is a heartfelt ghost comedy that I actually enjoyed watching. By the start of it thought it felt like a silly ghost movie that is extremely predictable and shallow. And I also don't really like the actor Cha Tae-Hyun because he just comes of just plain ignorant for no reason or play very obnoxious, whinny and annoying roles without being entertaining or funny. But I have to give him credit for this role he was in, he played his role in this very well. I thought I was going to hate his acting and his character once again but that just wasn't the case for this one. As the movie progresses it get better, especially after the first half and his character starts to get likable. In a way it sort of reminded me of "Heart and Souls". So the story is this, some dude who was raised as a orphan grows up and hates his life and tries to commit suicide multiple times. But somehow he survives and 4 ghost comes and ask him to complete there favor or else they will not leave him alone. And than he falls for a live girl. Yeah this premise has been done many times, but this movie adds good heartfelt and warm moments that make it stand out. And those elements are mixed into this really well. To the point by the end I could help but have a grin on my face. Overall this movie is a good way to pass the time and for a overdone premise it adds something new. Although I am not a fan of remakes, it isn't a big surprise that at the 2011 Berlin Film Market, remake rights were purchased by filmmaker Chris Columbus.
