Dead Friend, also known by its original title as The Ghost (which is the literal translation of 령 or "Ryeong"), is a 2004 South Korean horror film. It was written and directed by Kim Tae-gyeong and was his debut feature. It stars Kim Ha-neul as Min Ji-won, Nam Sang-mi as Su-in, Bin (Jeon Hye-bin) as Eun-seo, and Shin Yi as Shin Mi-kyung. Both Kim Ha-neul and Nam Sang-mi previously starred together in Too Beautiful to Lie.The film centers around Ji-Won, a teenage girl suffering from amnesia, who is being haunted by strange and disturbing visions. Things take a turn for the worst when she discovers her high school friends are being killed off one-by-one by what seems to be a vengeful ghost. It is up to Ji-Won to try to recover her lost memories and find out why the ghost is killing off her friends before it comes looking for her next. | |

| Dead Friend / int_10dffb47 | comment |
Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: Played completely straight, with the scary damp ghost girl, until the Twist Ending that puts a spin on the ghost's identity. | |

| Dead Friend / int_2676e225 | comment |
Girl Posse: The flashbacks reveal that Ji-won, who is kind and sweet now, used to be the Alpha Bitch head of a Mean Girl posse that picked on Su-in. Why is she nicer now? Because she isn't really Ji-won. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Dead Friend / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: While reporting a ghost is pretty ridiculous, it's hard not to shake your head when the police officers laugh in Ji-won's face and call her crazy when there are a bunch of random, unexplainable and downright impossible deaths happening around the city. | |

The Reveal | |
| Dead Friend / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: The ending. When Su-in drowned in the river, her spirit took over the body of Ji-won in a case of Grand Theft Me; the character of Ji-won has actually been Su-in throughout the movie. Ji-won's spirit, evicted from her own body, has possessed her mother. | |

Completely Different Title | |
| Dead Friend / int_89370eaa | comment |
Completely Different Title: The original title of the film is 령 (Ryeong), which literally translates to The Ghost. However, the English version changes the title to Dead Friend, which does have a connection to what happens in the film. | |
