The plot of the drama
âLord of the Sunâ is a film primarily about love. This is a story about a young woman, The Gong Sil (Teyan), who gets into a car accident and ends up in a coma. After awakening, she realizes that she is able to see ghosts. But not cute cloud ghosts from melodramas, but real monsters. Frightened half to death, the poor girl canât fix her life. Wherever she goes, eerie ghosts haunt her. Having an excellent education and brilliant prospects in the past, she cannot get a suitable job, because because of the monsters she sees only, she constantly puts herself in an awkward position. People around her consider her strange, and this is the mildest definition of her established reputation. Unhappy Gon Sil can't even sleep. As soon as she dozes off, some annoying ghost in the vicinity tries to move into her body. Uninvited guests disappear only after receiving help from the heroine. It can be a conversation with a relative who did not have time to take place, a forgotten thing that needs to be found, in a word, all that is accessible to the world of the living and impossible for the world of the dead.
So a strange girl would have eked out her days if she had not once met Zhu Zhong Won, the general director of one of the major shopping centers in the city. This materialist to the marrow of his bones, an impudent and selfish person, did not at all long for a crazy, frightened girl to cling to him, who by then had already become a frequent visitor to the police and ambulance. The fact is that as soon as Gon Sil touched June Won, the ghosts disappeared. She realized that she could return to normal if this man were nearby, and even better - at arm's length.
The main character is a man of difficult fate. In his youth, he was involved in a love story with the girl who betrayed him. Together with an accomplice, she abducted a young man, demanding a ransom from the family. Maybe this story would not have worked so destructively on June Won if the girl had not died when the police saved him. The main character has many unanswered questions. Why did she do that? Did she love him? And finally, where are the several million dollars paid as ransom?
Having believed in the existence of ghosts, June Won decides to conclude an agreement with Gon Sil: she helps the hero figure out the past by talking to the dead girl, and he, in turn, allows Teyan to be around and use him as protection against ghosts. So begins the epic called "Phantom Radar", which the actors played beautifully and touching. âThe Lord of the Sunâ is a 17-episode spectacular story that is rightfully considered a significant event in Korean cinema.
