The Chosun Ilbo commented that the film was good for families. Cha Tae-hyun found his role challenging, especially because it required him to smoke cigarettes, which he does not do in real life. Plot Sang-man (Cha Tae-hyun) is a depressed man who is unsure of his past and who his family is. He attempts to commit suicide by overdosing on pills, but fails. He then jumps off a bridge into a river, but is saved. Brought to the hospital, Sang-man awakens and sees a man smoking next to him. He tells the other hospital patrons, but no one believes him, as they cannot see this man. During his stay in the hospital he eventually meets four other people nobody can see: a young, elementary school student; an old man; and a sad young woman who frequently cries. Sang-man discovers that they are not people, or hallucinations of his, but ghosts. Meanwhile, Sang-man meets nurse Jung Yun-soo (Kang Ye-won) at the hospital, becomes attracted to her, and feels the urge to flirt with her, but does not. After being discharged from the hospital, Sang-man goes back to his apartment, followed by the ghosts. He asks why they are there, but doesn't get an answer. He visits a shaman to ask for help.
