This supernatural ghost story involves a business man who is set up by his duplicitous partner as being responsible for the deaths of his employees in a warehouse fire. While the man waits for his trial, a sympathetic prison guard asks a young, newly licensed lawyer to defend him in court. Though he's found guilty and sentenced to death, the executioner offers the man a way to return as a spirit for 49 days to visit his family. The acting, directing and writing were standard for a TV drama. The scenery was very colorful and the special effects and sound were very well done. Both language options appear to be dubbed. The 5.1 DTS audio option made very good use of surround sound. As for extras, there's six trailers for the movie, a "Making of" featurette (9:21 min) that's partially subtitled in English, a "Behind-The-Scenes" featurette (6:13 min) that's partially subtitled in English, an "Outtakes" featurette (5:49 min), a "Music Video" and trailers for five other movies. Recommended.
