The interaction between Lee Joon-gi and Shin Min-ah is the heart of the show. Eun-oh’s transition from an irritable loner to a protective partner is handled with wit and emotional depth. Shin Min-ah perfectly portrays the duality of a ghost—innocent and curious one moment, terrifying and vengeful the next.
The drama is based on the famous Korean folklore of Arang, a tale that originates from the Joseon era in the city of Miryang. In the legend, Arang was the pure, beautiful, and goodhearted daughter of a magistrate. After her mother passed away, she was raised by a wicked caretaker who conspired to have her attacked. When she resisted, she was stabbed and killed, her body left in the woods. Believing she had dishonorably eloped, her father resigned in shame. In the story, Arang's vengeful ghost appears to every new magistrate who arrives, and they flee in terror. The legend served as a powerful foundation for the drama's creative expansion.
