After a horrifying encounter with a deranged patient at a hospital that says she knew Hyo-Bin's sister, our heroine is a tad shaken up. Especially because she didn't even know she had a sister! As she begins to investigate if her sister really exists, Hyo-Bin goes further into the realm of the supernatural when her psychic friend says that her case might be an example of "Bing-Ui" in which a ghost attaches itself to a person or object. Besides problems of the ghostly kind, Ji-Hwan's pseudo-girlfriend has had about enough of her man's interest in Hyo-Bin, and she's prepared to do just about anything to end that interest, including pulling out a knife to scare away her rival!

I'm giving up on this series after reading this volume. The writer seems to have forgotten that the main plotline of the story is the supernatural element. What started in the second volume and continues through this one is the metamorphosis to a pretty much straight up school romance sans the horror. Left to their own devices, without any emotional buttons being pushed by the unknown, these characters are pretty boring. The entire school scene is repetitive and nothing you haven't seen in a million other shojo manga. Add to this that No's character designs look too similar, and after a while you begin to think you are watching wild giraffes, so extended are the character's necks and limbs. And what's up with the artist's obsession with plaid?! If No had created the universe, probably even the sun and planets would be plaid! The backgrounds and detail are almost nonexistent and it just seems like not much effort was put into the creation of this series.
