Welcome to Storyflix.
In this video, we will explain Mourning Grave.
This movie tells the story of a teenager who can see ghosts who returns to his hometown
to face his demons.
Will he be able to use his ghost-seeing abilityto help the ghosts seek justice?
Let's find out in Mourning Grave.
Mourning Grave begins by showing a high school student named In-soo who is on a train on
his way home.
At that time, In-soo is on the phone with his mother when he notices that the pendant
he always carries with him suddenly spins fast on its own.
In-soo immediately realizes that this indicates the presence of supernatural beings around
him.
Sure enough, a female ghost appeared and was not far from him.
Soon, In-soo's school friends come and bully him because according to rumors he can see
the existence of supernatural beings.
Suddenly, the female ghost figure on the train finds out that In-soo has been able to see
her all along.
Arriving at the house, it turns out that the female ghost continues to follow In-soo and
asks him to help her get her revenge.
The scene then switches and shows the police finding a woman's body, where the corpse is
a ghost that has always followed In-soo since he got off the train.
One day, In-soo contacts his uncle, Sun-il, who can also see ghosts and expresses his
wish to return home because he can't stand the constant bullying at his current school.
In addition, he also feels frustrated because he can see ghosts.
Sun-il tells In-soo to ignore the ghosts he sees and act as if he can't see them because
if he helps the ghosts, they will continue to follow him.
In-soo then asks his uncle about what happened to A-young, his childhood friend, a few years
ago.
An annoyed Sun-il then says he doesn't remember the incident because it's been too long.
In-soo finally decides to leave Seoul and return to his hometown.
On the way, he accidentally runs into a girl ghost who throws a warm smile at him.
But he pretends he can't see that girl ghost.
Arriving at the house, In-soo's arrival was immediately greeted by his uncle, who ensured
that there were no ghosts following him.
It turns out that In-soo's grandfather used to be a very good ghost hunter, and the necklace
that he always carries is a legacy his grandfather left for him.
On his first day at school, In-soo is introduced by his homeroom teacher as a transfer student
in front of the class.
In-soo is then approached by a beautiful female student named Hyun-ji who tries to seduce
him.
However, In-soo just stays silent and seems uncomfortable with Hyun-ji's attitude.
After that, In-soo feels the atmosphere in his classroom turning tense and feels a strange
aura around him.
Then suddenly he sees a ghost near the window leaving bloodied hands on the windowpane,
which of course only he can see.
When In-soo tells his uncle about this, Sun-il says that the ghost holds a bitter grudge
against many people and is very dangerous, so he asks In-soo to just ignore it.
The next day, In-soo sees a blind woman sitting leaning against a shady tree accompanied by
a dog.
Because he has a painting hobby, he then draws a sketch of the woman and her dog.
Not long after that, the girl ghost that he had previously seen while on his way to his
hometown some time ago suddenly appeared in front of him and asked him to talk.
However, he tries to ignore her and pretends not to see her.
In-soo is then visited by two of his classmates, Hae-chul and Ki-tae, who look surprised by
his painting because they only saw the blind woman but didn't see the dog anywhere, which
indicates if the dog is the dog is a ghost.
Hae-chul turned out to warn In-soo not to get close to Hyun-ji.
After hitting In-soo, Hae-chul then says that he was his friend in elementary school.
He then reminds In-soo of the incident that happened to A-young, which makes him reminisce
about his past.
Hae-chul then threatens to spread rumors that In-soo can see ghosts if he stays close to
Hyun-ji.
The scene then switches and shows a girl named Sung-hee walking alone.
But suddenly her two friends, Hyun-ji and Na-ra, appear and surprise her.
The three of them are now walking together.
However, unbeknownst to Sung-hee and her friends, a mysterious figure has been watching them
for a long time.
Arriving at the house, Sung-hee is surprised by the plastic wrap that appears to be dripping
with blood.
Although scared, Sung-hee is also curious and tries to find out what is inside the plastic
package.
But suddenly the plastic wrap exploded and blood spurted on her body.
Suddenly, she became hysterical and rushed to clean her body.
Not long after, a female ghost wearing a mask appeared in front of her.
A frightened Sung-hee immediately calls Hyun-ji, but because the signal is bad, Hyun-ji can't
hear what she is saying.
The next day, In-soo is again visited by a girl ghost who has a warm smile.
In-soo again tries to ignore her, but the ghost girl says she doesn't want to ask In-soo
for help or bother him.
Even the ghost girl said that she didn't remember her own name.
She just wants to be friends with In-soo so she doesn't feel lonely.
Hearing this, In-soo feels pity and decides to befriend the ghost girl.
In their conversation, the ghost girl suddenly shuddered at the feeling of an evil aura that
suddenly appeared.
The ghost girl says that the evil aura comes from a female ghost wearing a mask and leaves
In-soo right away.
In-soo is curious then tries to find the whereabouts of the masked ghost.
He then took out his grandfather's necklace as he walked through the school area.
The necklace pendant suddenly spins fast on its own when he is in front of the door of
a warehouse, and when he peeks inside, he sees a long-haired female ghost turning towards
him.
In-soo pretends not to see the ghost and rushes away from there.
That night, Sung-hee is seen being held captive in a dark room.
She continues to receive frightening terror threats from the mysterious person who kidnapped
her until she finally dies.
The next day, In-soo and the ghost girl are talking about In-soo's past.
In-soo then tells about how he first saw a ghost, at which time he found out that his
friend, A-young, was actually killed by someone.
A-young's spirit shows In-soo who killed her.
However, In-soo who is still a child does not dare to testify and say who the killer
is.
Because of this, he always feels guilty whenever he thinks of A-young.
In-soo then visits A-young's parents' house to apologize.
A-young's father tells In-soo that he has accepted his daughter's death long ago and
has never blamed In-soo.
He then thanks In-soo for still remembering his late daughter.
Afterward, In-soo sees A-young's spirit smiling warmly at him and waving goodbye.
In-soo finally feels relieved that he is no longer guilty of the death of his best friend.
Since that incident, In-soo and the ghost girl become closer and spend a lot of time
together.
One night, In-soo and his uncle are relaxing at home accompanied by a female ghost that
In-soo sees in the school warehouse.
Curious about the ghost wearing a mask, In-soo asks the female ghost this question, who explains
that he only knows the name of the mask ghost, which is See-hee.
Meanwhile at school, Ki-tae and Na-ra seem to sneak into the classroom to pick up a cell
phone they left behind.
Because the school is already quiet, the two intend to take advantage of the moment alone
to make love.
However, Na-ra says that she wants to go to the toilet for a bit.
A mysterious figure suddenly attacked him when Ki-tae was waiting for Na-ra in class.
Meanwhile, Na-ra who was in the toilet, felt someone was following her.
She then checked the toilet cubicles one by one and saw a ghost who resembled her friend
wearing a mask and a scary face.
A frightened Na-ra then ran out and returned to class, but Ki-tae wasn't there.
The classroom door suddenly closed and locked itself.
Na-ra is terrorized again by a scary masked ghost.
She tries to call Hyun-ji, but the one talking to her on the other end is See-hee.
Na-ra ended up having the same fate as Ki-tae who had to die that night.
The next day, Sung-hee, Na-ra and Ki-tae are declared missing.
In-soo then tries to find information about See-hee by asking one of his friends in class.
Slightly frightened, his friend tells In-soo that See-hee used to be their classmate.
But she committed suicide due to severe trauma.
In-soo also learns from the ghost girl that See-hee is traumatized by bullying by her
own friends.
In-soo was furious and then approached Hae-chul and Hyun-ji who were walking alone.
Without thinking, he then attacked Hae-chul and the two got into a fierce fight, until
finally In-soo was pushed and threatened by Hae-chul.
But In-soo tells Hae-chul and Hyun-ji that it was they who killed See-hee and asked them
to take responsibility for the abuse they had done to See-hee, or See-hee would come
and punish them like she did punish Sung-hee and the others.
However, neither Hae-chul nor Hyun-ji want to admit that they were the cause of See-hee's
suicide.
Hyun-ji tells Hae-chul that In-soo's words may be true on the way home.
Hyun-ji then shows a photo, which turns out to be a photo of See-hee's father looking
vengeful and angry at his daughter's funeral.
Hyun-ji thinks that See-hee's father may have been the cause of their friends' disappearance.
Hae-chul and Hyun-ji then infiltrate See-hee's father's house and intend to kill him.
But when they got there, they were attacked by See-hee's father who had been possessed
by the spirit of his daughter who wanted revenge.
Hae-chul and Hyun-ji end up experiencing the same tragic fate as their friends.
In-soo, who previously received a message from Hyun-ji informing him of her whereabouts
and asking for help, then rushes to See-hee's father's house, where he meets the man blankly
walking out of the warehouse.
When he goes inside, In-soo is shocked to find Hyun-ji and the others who have become
corpses.
While checking the closet, he also finds the body of a girl wearing a mask, who is none
other than the ghost girl.
In-soo is very surprised to discover that the ghost girl who always looks cheerful and
smiles warmly is See-hee, who holds a grudge against her friends.
It all started when Hyun-ji and the others bullied one of their classmates.
One day, Hyun-ji was called by their homeroom teacher and was scolded badly because it turned
out that someone had complained about what she had done to their homeroom teacher.
An annoyed Hyun-ji then took the anonymous letter and then matched the handwriting on
the letter with her classmates' handwriting until it was finally discovered that it was
See-hee who had complained about the actions of her and her friends to the teacher.
From then on, Hyun-ji and the others started bullying See-hee.
They cut her hair, force her to always wear a mask and threaten to torture her if she
takes off the mask.
The bullying continues, torture after torture has to be endured by See-hee, but no one tries
to help her.
Even her classmates seemed to turn a blind eye to the bullying she experienced.
Her father, who found out about the bullying, asked See-hee to report the bullying she was
experiencing to the school or the police.
But See-hee thinks that it will be in vain.
One day, the teacher who seems annoyed that See-hee keeps wearing a mask, then forcibly
removes the mask, causing See-hee to be tortured again by Hyun-ji.
Unable to stand the torture she always received, both physically and mentally, she decided
to end her life.
In-soo is devastated when he learns of all the suffering that See-hee has endured in
her life.
He then goes to See-hee's room and finds her diary, which contains the names of Hyun-ji
and the others, who are the targets of her revenge.
After reading See-hee's diary, In-soo rushes to school because it turns out that See-hee's
revenge is not over.
In-soo then calls his uncle and asks him to come to See-hee's house to perform the ritual
of sending spirits to the afterlife.
He then gets a message from his homeroom teacher telling him to come to the library immediately.
Not only In-soo, but all his classmates also get the same message.
Realizing that something is wrong, In-soo tells his friends to get out of there immediately.
When In-soo warns his friends to leave immediately, the lights suddenly go out and the door locks
on its own.
They could see their homeroom teacher was pouring gasoline all over the library area
in the dark.
The female teacher who has been possessed by the spirit of See-hee, then comes to them
while lighting a match.
See-hee then expresses her disappointment to everyone for ignoring her when Hyun-ji
and her friends bullied her.
When she was about to drop the lit match into the gasoline, suddenly someone caught it to
avoid the fire.
It turns out that the one who caught the match was the ghost girl or the embodiment of the
good side of See-hee, who asked her alter ego to end all her revenge.
However, the masked ghost refuses and reminds See-hee of all the suffering she went through
because of the bullying.
She continues to fuel See-hee's good side and then blows her away.
The chairs in the room suddenly floated up and an aquarium broke apart.
In-soo tries to stop his teacher while Sun-il prepares to perform the ritual of sending
spirits to the afterlife at See-hee's house.
In-soo then tells his friends to split up and uses his necklace to detect the presence
of the vengeful spirit of See-hee hiding in one of their friends' bodies after In-soo
manages to incapacitate their teacher.
In-soo manages to find See-hee who lit the match again, threatening to burn them all.
But then, In-soo In-soo shows See-hee a book, in which it is revealed that they were childhood
friends.
See-hee often helps In-soo who is often bullied by his friends at school.
Since childhood, In-soo turned out to like See-hee.
He apologizes to See-hee for not recognizing her earlier and now he remembers everything.
See-hee returns to the beautiful ghost girl and hands In-soo her lighter.
On the other hand, Sun-il has finished performing the ritual and as she leaves for the afterlife,
See-hee bids In-soo farewell with tears in her eyes.
After the incident, In-soo and his classmates visit See-hee's grave and pray for her.
Several years later, In-soo is now an adult and becomes an intern teacher who teaches
at his former school.
When In-soo is in his former class and asks for an empty seat at the back of the class,
suddenly a scary ghost appears in front of him and the movie ends.
Many South Korean films have the theme of bullying because it is still a frightening
spectre for students in South Korea.
Bullying, regardless of its form, whether physical or verbal, can have the same impact
on its victims, where they will experience prolonged trauma that is difficult to heal
and eventually decide to commit suicide.
Bullying may be avoided if we learn to start caring for the people around us and also learn
to be more courageous in telling the truth and not be silent when we see other people
being tortured.
