The film revolves around the love story between the hotel heir Cheon Yeo Ri (Park Eun Bin) - who has the ability to see ghosts and anyone who touches her will see her soul - and a passionate but extremely afraid of ghosts prosecutor.

The actress also revealed that the crew has prepared many different glove designs to suit each outfit but still keep this as Cheon Yeo Ri's identifying mark.
Ranked second according to Soompi's top movie statistics of the month is "The East Palace", scheduled to premiere on July 17 - a fantasy work gathering Nam Joo Hyuk, Roh Yoon Seo and Cho Seung Woo.
The film tells the story of Gu Cheon - who can step into the world of ghosts - and palace maid Saeng Gang who possesses the ability to hear the sound of souls. Both receive orders to investigate the secrets hidden in the cursed palace.
The combination of historical, mysterious elements and a cast of talented actors helps the work become one of the most anticipated projects in the second half of the year.
The movie "A shop for killers" ranked 3rd with an interest rate of 12.38%. After the success of the first season, season 2 continued to receive great attention with the reappearance of Lee Dong Wook and Kim Hye Joon.
