Lee Eun Oh, a noble's son, arrives at a small village in search of his missing mother. There, Arang, the ghost of a young woman that lost her memories of her past life, asks him to help her to figure out her identity and how she died. A vindictive spirit of single woman who died under wrongful circumstances and whose soul has been haunted by false accusations about her disappearances in coming to the district magistrate Eun Oh with a plea to help her exact her vengeance. Ignoring the poor choice of wigs, and bad fog effects. Arang and the Magistrate, is a Korean Drama that greatly moved me. With an intricate plot where sympathy for even the most gruesome characters is inevitable it draws you in like magic. <br/><br/>The character development is stunning, as each character grows and adapts to their new experiences, and learns more about the appreciation of life and others around them. <br/><br/>A well researched fantasy piece as well, instead of aimlessly throwing in random supernatural features, it seems the world follows on a set of rules, making it even more believable.<br/><br/>Also a great romance that doesn't rely on exceptionally cheesy moments to keep you hooked, but really uses the good heart of the characters to create a fairy tale romance. <br/><br/>A story with, action, suspense, fantasy and a great deal of moral, as well as a poetic dialogue, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a heart touching, engaging story. Just ignore the wigs…. I felt that the story was dragging at parts.<br/><br/>There's comedy, romance, action, suspense and mystery.<br/><br/>The comedy can seem a little overdone, and the romance was cute but not heart-stopping-swoon-worthy. The fight scenes were well-made and the story itself is engaging. The soundtrack isn't the best and the acting of some of the minor characters felt forced, but the leads played their roles perfectly.<br/><br/>The main girl does tend to become frustratingly annoying towards the end, but the end itself makes up for it, plus her male lead was always there to save her.
