Cast

Main characters

Gong Hyo-jin as Tae Gong-shil

Gong-shil was once bright and sunny. But after a mysterious accident, she suddenly gains the ability to see ghosts. They continually haunt her, some wanting her to fulfill their last wishes, others merely scaring her. Gong-shil becomes an outcast, unable to hold down a job and suffering from insomnia. Now gloomy and easily moved to tears, she works as a cleaning lady at Kingdom shopping mall. Then she discovers that the ghosts are banished whenever she touches the company president, Joong-won, the most selfish man she's ever known. She begins working for him as his secretary (in name only), and because of Joong-won, she slowly opens herself up to the world.

So Ji-sub as Joo Jоong-won

President of the Kingdom Group. A self-centered, haughty, ambitious, and money-driven businessman, Joong-won puts a price on every relationship. The trauma of a kidnapping incident when he was younger has rendered him extremely mercenary and distrustful, as well as dyslexic. Upon learning of Gong-shil's supernatural ability, he keeps her near him, hoping to use her to communicate with his dead girlfriend Hee-joo in tracking down the ₩10 billion ransom paid in the form of Joong-won's mother's diamond necklace (the case's statute of limitations is almost up). But as he grows closer to Gong-shil, Joong-won comes to learn the more important things in life. (His first name joong-won literally means "ruling position" or "supremacy.")

Seo In-guk as Kang Woo

A former soldier who served in the Zaytun Division of the South Korean Army, which was deployed to Iraq in the mid-2000s. After his discharge, he uses that experience and skill set in pursuing a job in the private sector, thus leading him to become hired as the head of security of Joong-won's shopping mall company. He mysteriously keeps tabs on Joong-won, and notes the latter's interest in Gong-shil, who is his neighbor at the apartment building he'd recently moved into. As part of his plan, Kang Woo confesses that he likes Gong-shil, but his feelings soon begin to turn real.

Kim Yoo-ri as Tae Yi-ryung

A top star and the model of Joong-won's shopping mall. Yi-ryung's wedding to a soccer player is inadvertently wrecked by Gong-shil, whom she considered her high school rival. Though not related, they share the same surname and in high school they were given the following nicknames: the then-more popular Gong-shil was called "Big Sun," while the homely Yi-ryung, who wore braces and glasses, was called "Little Sun." Wanting revenge against Gong-shil for her bitter high school experiences and ruined wedding, Yi-ryung plans on seducing Joong-won, but finds herself falling for Kang Woo instead.

So when Gong-shil sees her ghost hovering around him, Joong-won strikes a deal with her to find out who the co-conspirator was. But "Hee-joo" refuses to tell Gong-shil, implying that she is protecting that person.

Hee-joo and Hanna were twin sisters, whose birth parents were poor artists who died in an accident. They were separated when Hanna was adopted and raised comfortably in England, while Hee-joo grew up in an orphanage. After the twin sisters meet in their teens, the girl Joong-won falls for is actually sweet and gentle Hanna, whom he thinks is Hee-joo. Driven insane with jealousy and envy that Hanna has taken everything from her (the life she believes could've been hers, and now her crush as well), the real Hee-joo masterminds the kidnapping.

She later undergoes cosmetic surgery to change her facial features, moves next door to Aunt Sung-ran, and continues her revenge against Joong-won.
