Their lives take a new turn as they discover whenever Gong-shil touches Joong-won the ghosts that surround her disappear; after much pleading from Gong-shil to allow her to stay by Joong-won's side in return she must help him recover a fortune that was stolen from him during a kidnapping attempt.[7]
Cast
[edit]Main
[edit]- President of the Kingdom Group. A handsome, self-centered, haughty, ambitious, and money-driven businessman, Joong-won puts a price on every relationship. The trauma of a kidnapping incident when he was younger has rendered him extremely mercenary and distrustful, as well as dyslexic. Upon learning of Gong-shil's supernatural ability, he keeps her near him, hoping to use her to communicate with his dead girlfriend Hee-joo in tracking down the ₩10 billion ransom paid in the form of Joong-won's mother's diamond necklace (the case's statute of limitations is almost up). But as he grows closer to Gong-shil, Joong-won comes to value the more important things in life. (His first name joong-won literally means "ruling position" or "supremacy.")
- Gong Hyo-jin as Tae Gong-shil[14][15][16]
- A beautiful young woman. She was once a bright and sunny person. But after a mysterious accident, she suddenly gains the ability to see ghosts. They continually haunt her – some wanting her to fulfill their last wishes, others merely scaring her. Gong-shil becomes an outcast, unable to hold down a job and suffers from insomnia. She then works as a cleaning lady at Kingdom shopping mall after she discovers that the ghosts are banished whenever she touches the company president, Joong-won, the most selfish man she's ever known. She begins working for him as his secretary (in name only) and because of Joong-won, she slowly opens herself up to the world.
- Seo In-guk as Kang Woo
- A former soldier who served in the Zaytun Division of the South Korean army, which was deployed to Iraq in the mid-2000s. After his discharge, he uses that experience and skill set in pursuing a job in the private sector, thus leading him to become hired as the head of security of Joong-won's shopping mall company. He mysteriously keeps tabs on Joong-won, and notes the latter's interest in Gong-shil, who is his neighbor at the apartment building he'd recently moved into. As part of his plan, Kang Woo confesses that he likes Gong-shil, but his feelings soon begin to turn real, though it shown that he enters into a relationship with Tae Yi-ryung after falling for her after she had pursued him many times, he is seen promising her a kiss on the red carpet indicating that he had moved on from Gong-shil and now loves Tae Yi-ryung and in a relationship with her after the multiple encounters they had, along with her pursuing him.[17][18][19][20]
- Kim Yoo-ri as Tae Yi-ryung
- A top star and the model of Joong-won's shopping mall. Yi-ryung's wedding to a soccer player is inadvertently wrecked by Gong-shil, whom she considered her high school rival. Though not related, they share the same surname and in high school they were given the following nicknames: the then-more popular Gong-shil was called "Big Sun" while the homely Yi-ryung, who wore braces and glasses, was called "Little Sun". Wanting revenge against Gong-shil for her bitter high school experiences and ruined wedding, Yi-ryung plans on seducing Joong-won, but finds herself falling for Kang Woo instead.
