A delight to watch

When does the painful of a cheating relationship end? When Chae-Byul (Kim Hee-Sun) discovers that her long-time boyfriend and fiancée Han-Soo is fooling around with Hyun-Ju, she contemplates suicide with the thought of punishing him by dying in front of him. While she stands perilously close to the edge of a subway platform, two ghosts appear and urge her to jump. She almost does but when she hesitates, one of the ghosts gives her a nudge and she is crushed by the train.

She finds herself admitted into SGA: Suicide Ghost Association, which, by the way is the alternative title of the film, whose members are people who have committed suicide, and whose purpose is to recruit new members, by any unorthodox means possible. They also encourage other unsavory activities, like taking bloody revenge and such. Here she runs into characters such as pale-face, vengeful spirit who is seeking to murder the thugs that raped her. Seung-woo, a good guy in anyone's terms, who helps people instead of persuading them to suicide. Diet, the team leader.

I like this movie. It has a little of everything including carefully constructed cgi to give the movie a wonderful feel unlike some of the movies that have gone to the extreme. Overall, a wonderful chemistry between the two leads, Kim Hee-Sun and Lee Seong-Jae. It will provide an enjoyable night on the sofa.
