The series was a huge success. A wonderful script with a great deal of mysticism, an amazing soundtrack with catchy melodies - all this will not let the viewer get bored for a minute until the final credits roll.
Drama plot
"Lord of the Sun" - a film primarily about love. This is the story of 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. Scared half to death, the poor girl is unable to get her life back on track. Wherever she goes, creepy ghosts haunt her. Having an excellent education and brilliantprospects in the past, she cannot get a suitable job, because because of the monsters only she sees, she constantly embarrasses herself. People around her consider her strange, and this is still the mildest definition of her established reputation. Poor Gong Sil can't even sleep. As soon as she dozes off, some annoying ghost nearby 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, everything that is available to the world of the living and impossible for the world of the dead.
So the strange girl would have dragged out her days if one day she hadn't met Zhu Joon Won, the general manager of one of the major shopping centers in the city. This materialist to the marrow of his bones, arrogant and selfish person did not at all want to be clung to by a crazy, frightened girl, who by that time had already become a frequent visitor to the police and ambulance. The fact is that as soon as Gong Sil touched Jun Won, the ghosts disappeared. She realized that she could return to normal life if this man was nearby, or 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 a girl who betrayed him. Together with an accomplice, she kidnapped the young man, demanding a ransom from the family. Maybe this story would not have had such a devastating effect on Joon Won ifthe girl did not die when the police rescued him. The main character has a lot of unanswered questions. Why did she do this? Did she love him? And finally, where are the several million dollars paid in ransom?
Believing in the existence of ghosts, Jun Won decides to make an agreement with Gong Sil: she helps the hero figure out the past by talking to the dead girl, and he, in turn, allows Teeyang to be around and use him as protection from ghosts. Thus begins the epic called "Ghost Radar", which was beautifully and touchingly played by the actors. "Lord of the Sun" is a 17-episode thrilling story that is rightfully considered a significant event in Korean cinema.
