Summary note

"Park Pil-gi's family has never owned a house for three generations. They have to live in a rented room all their lives. Quite understandably, his father's will at his death bed was 'get your own house,' which became Pil-gi's goal in life. He works at a shipyard by day and as part-time chauffeur by night. After 10 years he finally manages to buy a two-storey house near the beach in Geoje-do, with some loans and mortgage. On the day he moves in, he shouts "Father, I did it! I bought my own house!" But his joy soon turns to fear. A knife flies toward him, the actor on TV suddenly shouts at him to leave the house, and even crawls out of the screen. Screaming, he runs away to a motel. He runs around asking for help. He goes to the police, he talks to his neighbors, and it seems he is the only one that doesn't know that a ghost lived in that house. Immediately, Pil-gi puts the house up for sale, but of course, no one will buy it. Soon he will have to pay for his interest at the bank. He can't stay in the motel room for ever, so at last he declares war on the ghost."--Korean Movie Database (KMDb).
