The first episode of “Shaman : Gwishin-jeon” features a cast member who sees ghosts every day. He suffers from ghost phenomena, such as having a bad dream of someone scanning his body every night and seeing strange patterns on the wallpaper, but nothing changed even when he visited the hospital. Eventually, the cast member who visited the shaman is told that what she experienced a year ago was the cause of all the situations.
