Day 117 - Ghost: In Your Arms Again (Japanese)




"Nanami Hoshino, a wealthy entrepreneur, marries Korean potter Kim Jun-ho, and they both live a seemingly happy life. Then, one month after their marriage, Nanami is killed by a biker on her way home. This tragedy leaves Jun-ho completely devastated. At the hospital, Nanami's ghost arises from her body, and upon meeting a ghost child, she realizes that she is a ghost whose presence cannot be seen. She then realizes that her death was no coincidence and Jun-ho is in imminent danger. Unable to communicate with normal humans, Nanami seeks help from the elderly psychic Unten in hopes of saving Jun-ho's life."

I saw the original verison many years ago so it was fun to see this remake even though I knew I was going to watch a cute romance end tragically. It was an interesting twist to see the woman be the ghost this time and it was even nostalgic to see a few re-created scenes.
Nanako Matsushima proved to be a wonderful actress, it was my first time seeing her perform. Hopefully it will not be the last.
Meanwhile I've seen Song Seung-heon before, so it was interesting to see him in this film. I believe he played the husband role well and hope to see him play more romantic roles in the future like this one.

3/5
