No sexual implications are implied with this film from South Korea. Instead, it’s about Seok-tae looking to do what’s right. he stole from thieves who got a fortune in diamonds. He’s hiding out in what may be a ghost town and he finds locals willing to protect him. In the only operational house, he encounters a ghost and she is not your typical malicious type. Her death is sad, and her personality never changed. Hints of a forbidden romance is hinted at and because of this, she and the villagers are willing to help.
