was watching this korean movie, Hello Ghost and based on the description it was supposed to be a comedy movie. The story goes like this, a depressed and lonely man, Sang-Man, starts seeing ghosts after attempting suicide many times. An orphan and a loner, who has been alone all his life, Sang-Man suddenly finds his world turned upside down when he starts seeing four ghosts: a chain smoking cab driver, an alcoholic/pervert grandfather, a constantly crying woman and young kid with an insatiable sweet tooth. Learning from a psychic that he cannot get rid of these spirits until he fulfills their last desires, Sang-Man allows them to possess his body. While carrying out their individual wishes, Sang- Man discovers the pleasure of daily life and forgets about his own loneliness and depression.
Most of the things he fulfilled for then were lame like stealing a camera for the grandfather, bringing the little kid to watch a movie, became a heavy smoker himself smoking for the smoker who also made him steal a cab and drive to the middle of the ocean for just a swim and the constantly crying lady who just wanted to cook, he was always being landed in bad situations but finally he fell in love and wanted to live his own life and asked the ghosts to leave, and when he met her, she asked him how did he know what ingredients to put to make the kimbimbab and then it struck him. Up to this point the movie was quite funny, his life was made miserable by the ghosts then he recalled everything, the ghosts were his family and how they tried to fulfill things they always wanted to do for him. Watching this last 9mins, tears just rolled down my eyes, it was like such an unexpected twist to the story. Not cherishing family members and regretting when they are gone, whats the point, they arent going to return, i feel so bad for not going back Jb for more than a month and sometimes i get so carried away with things that i even forget to call my mother, i feel so useless. i never shared things with my family members, rarely even spend quality time with them, always taking their feelings for granted. You'll never know how much someone means to you until you lose them.
Hollywood Undead's Coming Back Down stuck in my head.
