Synopsis[]
Is this the best way to get to the afterlife? Na Bong Sun (Park Bo Young) is a painfully shy and timid woman who works as an assistant chef at Sun Restaurant. She has a secret crush on the star chef Kang Sun Woo (Jo Jung Suk) but doesn’t have the courage to act on it. But Bong Sun has the ability to see ghosts, in part due to her shaman grandmother. Shin Soon Ae (Kim Seul Gi) is a young woman who died without ever having experienced romance in her short life. She is determined to seduce as many men as possible and lose her virginity so that she can go happily into the afterlife. When Soon Ae meets Bong Sun, she finds the perfect vessel to carry out her mission. Sun Woo is nursing a broken heart but suddenly begins to notice the bolder, more confident Bong Sun. Can Soon Ae and Bong Sun both get what they want in the end?[1]
