Plot
[edit]Han Do-ryeong goes to Yeon-hwa's house with the money, but is taken away by bandits and ends up staying at the house of Jang-soe, an old servant. The spirit of Yeon-hwa, who died without seeing her spouse Han Doryeong, appears to Han Doryeong every night and shares her unfulfilled feelings in this world. When Jangsoe sees his master playing with a ghost, he calls a shaman to perform an exorcism and attaches a talisman, but to no avail. In the end, Han Do-ryeong comes to her senses and distances herself from Yeon-hwa's spirit, but at Yeon-hwa's request, after sharing the last couple's affection, Yeon-hwa escapes from the bondage of the wandering ghost and goes to the underworld.[2]
