Taehee couldn't care less. All she wants is to spend time with her boyfriend Kiwoo, avoid her controlling father, and play music for her mask dance club. But Taehee's weird granny and her even weirder friends have other plans for Taehee: they drag her, Kiwoo, and the rest of the dance club to their remote farm to celebrate Daeboreum...the \u003ci\u003eold-fashioned \u003c\/i\u003eway. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the group arrives at the farm, Taehee overhears her granny talking about ceremonies, ghosts, and possibly (\u003ci\u003eprobably\u003c\/i\u003e) sacrificing her friends to evil spirits. And if that's not bad enough, Taehee just said those Three Little Words to Kiwoo that he can't seem to say back.
