Kdrama: Spellbound(오싹한 연애)








Spellbound(2011) has a nice twist to the romantic comedy which you may not expect, in that its a romantic *horror* comedy. It actually works quite well, and it could actually be the optimal concept for a dating movie as it has both romantic elements (which is good) and scary parts (which means sitting closer together).
I hate reviews giving away to much of the story, but in short the story is about a magician Jo-Goo and one of his assistants, Yeo-Ri. The problem is that Yeo-Ri sees ghosts and therefore has isolated herself, because everyone who shares her life gets to see the ghosts too. Problem starts when her boss Jo-Goo insists on her joining a after-work dinner.

I really dont like scary stuff, but I must say that even though the effects are quite well done, you know when they come and can easily solve it by looking away for a sec or two. The romance on the other hand is quite nice and ends well, which by no means is guaranteed in Korean movies.Also the explaination behind her seing ghost is also quite sympathetically handled. Comes recommended.
