A ferocious downpour rages outside as the show opens to folklore professor GU GANG-MO (cameo by  rushing back home. With shaking hands, he sets up a barrier around his doors, but his efforts are for naught as he falls prey to the spirit’s deception. After coming face-to-face with himself, Gang-mo dies, hanging from the ceiling.

In this world, ghosts and spirits exist, just as beliefs and fears do. Some have malicious intents, while others wander aimlessly. However, most people remain unaware of their existence, including our protagonist GU SAN-YOUNG a tired twentysomething-year-old who works part-time jobs to keep afloat.

Things take a turn in San-young’s life when her mother reveals that her supposedly-dead father just died. They attend Gang-mo’s funeral, and San-young inherits a traditional hair ribbon as a keepsake. As soon as she touches the item, a strange vision clouds her mind, and a voice rings in her head: “She received it.”

As San-young leaves, she runs into YEOM HAE-SANG  another folklore professor with an interesting ability: he can see spirits. He notices San-young’s shadow reflecting a wild-haired woman, and he recognizes it as the spirit that killed his mother. Their first meeting is cut short before Hae-sang can introduce himself, but as fate would have it, they cross paths again not long after.

Recently the victim of a phishing scam, San-young assumes the worst about Hae-sang, so when he starts talking about ghosts, she takes it as her cue to skedaddle. Though San-young waves aside his warnings, that evening two detectives, SEO MUN-CHUN and LEE HONG-SAE drop by her house to ask about the phishing offender who stole their money — he died earlier today.

Despite feeling uneasy about the news, San-young chalks it up as a coincidence until another odd death occurs around her. While visiting her friend BAEK SE-MI a boy died after he and his friends were caught filming them, and San-young starts to question everything.

San-young drops by Hae-sang’s university where she learns that everyone else thinks he is insane, too. At the moment, though, he might be the only person who can help her, so putting aside her disbelief, she shares her worries with him. When Hae-sang hears about the second death, he realizes that something is off and goes out to confirm his suspicions.

When they arrive at the boy’s funeral, Hae-sang sees a red rash only visible to him on the victim’s face and assures San-young that another spirit did this. The two of them split up, tackling the case from different angles, and come to the same conclusion: the spirit is a worried brother looking out for his younger sister.

With the teenaged ghost gone, Hae-sang tells San-young that they need to deal with hers next, but she berates him for thinking about spirits when the truly scary creatures in this world are people. She leaves Hae-sang behind and tries to resume her daily life by seeking medical help, hanging out with her friend, and attending annoying reunions.

Frightened by her unconscious behavior, she runs away and ends up in a tunnel with a large mirror. Just as Hae-sang warned, San-young sees the evil spirit latched onto her, and she hears it dare her to guess its name. The spirit suddenly vanishes, and like the incident with the voice phishing offender, San-young sees through the spirit’s eyes as it arrives at her grandmother’s house.

Meanwhile, Hae-sang continues his investigation of the evil spirit and learns from San-young’s mother that she recently received a red ribbon from her father. Hae-sang immediately recognizes the cursed object and rushes to the old house to retrieve it. Though he manages to obtain the ribbon, he notices the evil spirit lurking outside too late and finds the grandmother hanging from the ceiling in a burning room.

By the time San-young arrives, her grandmother is dead, and all her father’s relevant research burned in the fire. In a daze, San-young walks out of the house and stands in the middle of the road, waiting for death. Her senses come rushing back to her as a truck narrowly misses her, and Hae-sang runs to her side, pulling her to safety.

Crying in his arms, San-young admits to wanting to run away but deep down she always wished to live. She might not know why this is happening to her but she does not want to die — no, she cannot die. She warns Hae-sang that he will be in danger if he stays, but he tells her that it does not matter and reveals the reason for his decades-long obsession.

Turning the clock back to 1995, young Hae-sang just lost his father when his mother started to act strange and took him far away. The night of her death, he woke up to a banging at the door, and before his mother could stop him, he let the evil spirit inside. He watched in horror as his mother hung herself while possessed, and though he knew what he saw, everyone else — including his grandmother told him that she committed suicide.

What a treat! Kind of gruesome to say after a rather bloody ending, but I think I’m falling in love with this show already. The characters are so interesting, and I love the budding dynamic between our two leads: the man on the hunt for the ghost that killed his mother and the woman wanting to protect those around her from the evil lurking inside. San-young and Hae-sang are so different yet alike, and its their differences along with their similarities that make them such an engaging duo — the juxtaposition of belief and disbelief, the desire to run or to fight, the need to find or to hide. As their goals align, their desires start to blend, and I’m curious to see where the story will take these two characters down the road.
