As usually fallen in love with korean movie again... >_<
Hello Ghost. About a man's
multiple failed suicide attempts. After the most recent one, he discovers he
can see a family of ghosts. The ghosts agree to leave him alone under the
condition that he fulfill their requests.
At the beginning of the story;
Sang-man (Cha Tae-hyun) attempts to commit
suicide by
overdosing on pills, but fails. He then attempts to kill himself by jumping off
a bridge and into a river, but is saved. Brought to the hospital, Sang-man
awakens and sees a man smoking next to him. He tells the other hospital
patrons, but no one believes him. During his stay in the hospital he eventually
meets four ghosts. Meanwhile, Sang-man meets nurse Jung Yun-soo (Kang Ye-won)
at the hospital and quickly falls in love.
Sang-man is released from the hospital and the ghosts follow
him back to his apartment. He attempts to politely ask the ghosts why they are
there, but he doesn't get an answer. He decides to visit a shaman to get some
help and to learn how to get rid of the ghosts. He is told that the ghosts are
using his body to enter the world of the living so the ghosts can experience
their unfulfilled desires. Sang-man tries to get rid of them, but ghosts haunt
him everywhere he goes. Sang-man then attempts to help the ghosts fulfill their
unrealized dreams to get them to leave him alone once and for all.
One ghost, a fat smoker, wants to get his taxi back and
drive it. He also uses Sang-man's body to swim at the beach. Another ghost, an
old man, wants to return a camera to his friend. This leads to Sang-man being
arrested, because the camera is in the hands of a police officer. Another
ghost, a child, wants to watch a cartoon movie. The last ghost is a crying
woman who wants to cook and to eat together with people she cares about. All
these events also lead to Sang-man getting to know Yun-soo better.
Yun-soo father's dies, and Sang-man is the last person he
speaks with. Yun-soo is uncomfortable with this, and pushes Sang-man away until
she realizes that Sang-man is telling the truth when she sees her father's last
gift for her.
Sang-man tells the ghosts to go away and blames them for
Yun-soo's rejection. When he wakes up, the ghosts are gone. He goes to the
hospital and asks Yun-soo out for lunch, and she accepts. She tells him that
some people may lose their memories from extreme shock. As soon as Yun-soo asks
about the parsley in the kimbap, Sang-man remembers that his mother used to put
parsley in kimbap instead of spinach.
Sang-man runs to his apartment, and on his way he remembers
what has happened to him. His father was the smoker, his mother the lady, his
grandfather the old man, and his older brother the kid. On a family trip, his
father forgot to put gas in the car. The car stopped in the road, and was hit
by a truck and pushed off a cliff. Sang-man is the only survivor of the
accident, after which he lost his memory and grew up in an orphanage. Sang-man
calls to them in his apartment. One by one they appear and explain that their
wishes each had something to do with the promises they left for Sang-man, and
helped him remember them. His mother apologizes for leaving him alone and says
that they wanted Sang-man to live, and they will always be with him.
At the end, it shows that it was his family that stopped Sang-man from committing suicide.
As reminder:
