Plot
Lee Yoo-jin is a transfer student from Seoul who is usually bullied and picked on by her classmates, except for two girls, who become her friends and are often bullied as well as a result. One night, Yoo-jin and her friends decide to place a curse on their bullies by creating an Ouija board on which they write the names of the female bullies. With the board, the girls decide to use the Bunshinsaba curse, and as they use the board to cast the curse, one of Yoo-jin's friend warns the others not to open their eyes until the spell is finished. The girls close their eyes, but soon enough Yoo-jin, somewhat curious, opens her eyes. To her shock and horror, she sees an image of a pale ghost girl with long hair beside her.
