Synopsis
The drama is based on
famous folklore.
During the Joseon era
in the city of Miryang , Arang (Shin Min Ah) was the pure, beautiful, goodhearted
daughter of a magistrate. She grew up without a mother and was raised by a
wicked caretaker who conspired to have her raped and ruined by a servant. He
attacked and she resisted, so he stabbed and killed her, and left her body to
rot in the woods.
Her father, the magistrate, just believed that she
dishonorably eloped with a man and so resigned his position swathed in shame.
According to legend, every time a new magistrate comes to Miryang to fill the
position, Arang’s vengeful ghost shows up to tell him her story and he flees in
terror.
But one day a new
magistrate comes to town, a young man by the name of Eun Oh (Lee Joon Ki).
Arang appears before him like every other magistrate, but this man doesn’t
flee, and instead sympathizes with Arang, and promises to find her killer and
avenge her death.
