Jo Gu, a street magician, meets a miserable girl, Yu Ri, during one of his performances, and she winds up the inspiration for his “Horror magic show.” The show becomes wildly popular, and Jo Gu is now a successful magician with a model girlfriend. Yu Ri begins working as an extra on the show, but the darkness inside her, something her teammates sense, keeps her from truly connecting with anyone else. Jo Gu’s attempt to include her during dinner turns into a disaster when she gets blindingly drunk. Jo Gu calls Yu Ri the next morning, but when the phone disconnects with a weird noise, he starts to worry.
When Jo Gu finds her, she confesses the long story behind her grey, wan face. Since surviving a high school car accident, Yu Ri has seen the ghosts of dead schoolmates and her one-time best friend Ju Hui. Ju Hui is a ghost, following her everywhere and scaring the people around her, leaving her totally isolated. Even Yu Ri’s family eventually fled, leaving her behind to live alone in a tent, speaking only to a friend on the phone sometimes.
During the course of Jo Gu’s failed attempts to find the lonely Yu Ri a boyfriend, she resigns herself to the idea that her solitary life is best in the grand scheme of things. Though Jo Gu is sometimes scared witless himself, the pair starts to develop feelings for each other. Now consumed with jealousy, Ju Hui becomes a threat during the show and prompts Yu Ri to head off to join her family to save Jo Gu. Is getting away going to be that easy, or does Joo Hee have more tricks up her sleeve?
