Who Are You? | comment |
Who Are You (후아유) is a 16-episode Korean Drama. It originally aired on South Korea's tvN network in the summer of 2013.Si-ohn is a policewoman who, along with her partner and boyfriend Hyung-joon, are on a smuggling stakeout in 2007. The stakeout goes bad, Hyung-joon is killed, and Shi-ohn is sent into a coma that lasts six years. She finally wakes up apparently healthy, but unable to remember the details of the drug bust, or her romance with Hyung-joon. Shi-ohn is assigned to light duty in the Lost and Found Center (exactly what it sounds like, lost property), where she is put in charge of brash, cocky, handsome young detective Gun-woo, who chafes under his strict new supervisor but is also attracted to her.It turns out the Lost and Found Center isn't light duty after all, because of one thing: Si-ohn now sees ghosts. Six years being sort-of-dead has now caused her to see spirits, including the spirits of people associated with items in the Lost and Found storage. The ghosts that she sees are people who were the victims of foul play, and Shi-ohn, with the help of the ghosts, starts solving cold cases. She also gets assistance from another ghost—Hyung-joon.Not to be confused with the trope Who Are You?, or the song by The Who. | |

Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl | |
Who Are You? / int_10dffb47 | comment |
Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl: Sort of. The first ghost Si-ohn sees is Dan Oh-reum, a deaf teenaged girl with long black hair, but she appears to Si-ohn in her schoolgirl uniform (white blouse and black skirt), not a burial shroud. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Moon-shik introduces Gun-woo to Park Woong-joon, the prosecutor in the Episode 3 severed hand case, then attributes Park's brusque manner to heartbreak in his past—his fiancee Jang Yeon-hee abandoned him the day before their wedding. Later, the severed-hand ghost girl superimposes herself on Park's face, strongly implying that she is Yeon-hee. | |

An Astral Projection, Not a Ghost | |
Who Are You? / int_268ab6c5 | comment |
An Astral Projection, Not a Ghost: Episode 13 establishes that Si-ohn isn't just limited to seeing the ghosts of dead people. She can also see the astral projections of people who are in comas. This very quickly becomes plot-relevant when Hyung-joon is revealed to not be dead, but to have been in a coma since 2007. | |

Who Are You? / int_3a234e46 | comment |
The ghosts are victims who need Si-ohn's help to bring their murderers to justice. The first ghost she sees is a schoolgirl who was thought to be a suicide, but instead was thrown off a building by the therapist who was molesting her. Another ghost was thought to be a Runaway Bride but was actually a murder victim. The shaman that Si-ohn visits in Episode 3 says that "resentment" is the reason why the ghosts manifest themselves. | |

Who Are You? / int_65acf9db | comment |
He Knows Too Much: Woo-chul, the first detective to the scene of the 2007 failed smuggling stakeout, knows some secrets. He decides to go to Si-ohn and confess—so he is run over by a car, and later murdered in the hospital. Hong Joo, who ordered the hit on Woo-chul, later orders Park Il-doo to be eliminated for this same reason. This backfires as the hitman doesn't finish Il-doo off (he is scared away by a passer-by) and Il-doo winds up informing against him. | |

Who Are You? / int_716c0b1b | comment |
And the Adventure Continues: It is strongly implied in the last episode that Gun-woo, who was himself in a coma for a little while, has acquired some psychic powers of his own, when he tells Si-ohn that he's been having headaches and weird dreams. Also in the last episode, a ghost appears to Hee-bin and says that Hee-bin has to deliver something to her husband. Finally, there is a scene where Si-ohn picks up a mirror in the storage room, ominous music plays, and a mysterious figure flits around in the shadows. In the last scene, the mysterious figure flits around again, the camera cuts to a closeup of the mirror—and the show ends. | |

Moon-shik leaves for the boat that will take him away—only to go back and try and save his colleagues from the smugglers.

This being a Korean Drama, Hee-bin is not some wizened old person but a hot young lady who likes to go dancing in clubs. Further episode reveal that while Si-ohn can see ghosts, Hee-bin can talk to them as well. | |

Dirty Cop: Gun-woo's jovial, fatherly mentor, Moon-shik, is revealed to be in league with the smugglers. He is also the person who shot and killed Si-ohn's boyfriend Hyung-joon, although he didn't mean to. After Hyung-joon was cornered by the smugglers, Moon-shik shot him square in the chest, thinking he was still wearing his bulletproof vest for the stakeout. But Si-ohn had arrived at the stakeout earlier, and had Hyung-joon take off his vest to try on a new shirt she bought him. Later episodes explain that Moon-shik started working for the smugglers because he needed the money to pay for his desperately ill son's medical care. Episode 12 reveals that the Big Bad, the boss of the smugglers, is Moon Hong Joo, the chief of police. | |
