Eun-su finds it hard to believe, but after he reveals some of the deepest secrects shared between the couple, Eun-su begins to honestly belive that her husbands spirit is trapped inside her brother-in-law.

Review: Park Young-Hoon delivers this very memorable Korean melodrama with a far-fetched yet convincing story with a unexpected ending twist thrown in for good messures.

There is a fourth character in the movie “Yeo-Jin” a close friend of Dae-Jin, she looks like a girlfriend, she seems more than interested in him, but he doesn’t pay any attention to her.

The cast is excellent, Lee Byung-Hun is great most people will already be aware of his acting talents from the excellent Joint Security Area. Lee Eol and Park Seon-Yeong done good in thier roles, but the actress who had the toughest job in the would have to be Lee Mi-Yeon’s role as the wife – Eun-su, her character goes through several stages of grief and disbelief as if her husband really trapped inside someone elses body.

As you can expect a popular foriegn film it will be remade within a few years, this is no expection. An american remake is due out by the end of this year (2007) starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, directed by Joel Bergvall and Simon Sandquist. We’re over the moon, really…

Final thoughts, a good drama that everyone should see. Enjoy!
