Two ordinary people looking for love may have found it with one another in this low-key romantic drama. Jung Won-ju (Jeon Do-yeon) is a bookish-looking schoolteacher with a habit of daydreaming, and Kim Bong-soo (Seol Kyeong-gyu) is a bank teller with a habit of confessing his deepest secrets to the surveillance camera near his window when he thinks no one is looking. Jung and Kim have one important thing in common -- they're both lonely and looking for someone with whom they can spend their lives. Jung is a regular customer at the bank where Kim works, and they have a habit of bumping into each other around town; one day while doing her banking, Jung sees Kim talking on the security monitor about how he wishes he had a wife, and she wonders if maybe the man she's been looking for is the man who has been in front of her all along. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This romantic epic Korean ghost story was one of the country's biggest all-time grossing films in 1996. Su-hyun is an art lecturer with a nearly perfect life. One day he sees an exquisite old wooden bed, made from Gingko logs, in the trash outside his apartment. He takes the bed into his own apartment. Before long he discovers the bed is haunted by the ruthless spirit of Gen. Hwang, who is only able to keep his human form by eating living human hearts. It doesn't take long before the lecturer learns that in Hwang's time, he had been a court musician and had stolen the general's true love, a beautiful princess. Hwang only wants the princess's soul, which heretofore had been trapped in the gingko bed. Now she too stalks the earth looking for victims and using handy bodies to rest within. It is while resting in a stolen body that Su-hyun's girl friend, a doctor gets involved in the mystery. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
