Arang and the Magistrate (Korean: 아랑사또전; RR: Arang sattojeon; also known as Tale of A-rang) is a 2012 South Korean historical television drama (sageuk), starring Lee Joon-gi, Shin Min-a, and Yeon Woo-jin.
Arang is about an amnesiac ghost that requests the help of the city's magistrate to discover her identity, and her eventual murderer. Each character suited his/her role (especially Lee Jun Ki- his fighting scenes were kick-ass!).
Arang and the Magistrate is a story based on old Korean folklore about Arang, a vengeful spirit that haunts a village after her death. The drama uses the same plots as the original but add romance to spice things up.
Arang then puts in place a plan to make Eun-Oh a magistrate. She goes to shaman Bang-Wool (Hwang Bo-Ra), who later tells public officers in Miryang to kidnap Eun-Oh and make him the magistrate.
When Arang went missing, her father believed that she had dishonorably eloped with a man so he resigned his position as magistrate out of shame. Watch trailers & learn more.
Eun-oh and Arang are reunited after being reincarnated. The ghost Arang meets Eun-oh, who can see and hear ghosts. She arranges for him to become magistrate so he will help her discover her real name and how she died. Eun-oh is only interested in finding his mother. Reapers arrive to take Arang.
The beautiful Arang, the daughter of a magistrate during the Chosun Dynasty, is brutally murdered. The woman returns from the dead as a ghost, still full of light-hearted mischief and spirited fun.
