Arang - Lee Dong Wook and Song Yoon Ah


Lee Dong Wook - Lee Hyun Ki

Song Yoon Ah - Soo Young

Who says horror movies are only for scares? Nah, not this one! This looks like a typical scary Korean horror but as you watch the film through the end, you will realize something else matters more than a scare.

This is a story of a veteran investigator and a rookie forensic scientist working together to solve a mystery of a group of friends dying with only one evidence left at the crime scene; a website to the salthouse where a very pretty young girl lived.

Lee Hyun Ki teamed up with Soo young to investigate this killing mystery. And as they worked together to find more evidences and to solve the puzzling deaths, more and more revelations came out about the mystery girl on the website and also about Hyun Ki.

Soon, soo Young found out the connection between the girl and Hyun Ki. She found out that he was the boyfriend of the girl who lived near the salthouse where she was raped and killed by a group of guys from Seoul. Hyun Ki, finally letting out his hatred longed for revenge and so did some things that made those guys hallucinate as ifseeing the girl they killed kill them too.

The story ended with Hyun Ki killing himself after finally seeing his girlfriend's body under the salt mound in the salt house and the last member of those guys die after seeing her, proving that they didn't hallucinate at all when they saw her.

This movie isn't only about seeing ghosts and being killed by them. This movie also showed how much someone can do for love even in the afterlife. Being a photographer and a devoted boyfriend, Hyun Ki proved that even after the death of his girlfriend, he's still ready to declare his love for her.

Five stars for this movie! :D
