I didn't know but this is the third in a series of South Korean horror films set in a girls high schools that began with 1998's Whispering Corridors.
Once again I'm not agree with the genre!
Where's the horror? It was more drama with a little bit thriller!
The trailer looks very interesting but it was really a NOT movie!
As in the prior two movies, this film has strong indications of friendship, betrayal, and the taboo of lesbian affairs in an all-girls school

I like the second, Memento Mori, more!!
The storyline was much better than this one!
The painting and the art sculpture freaks me out!!
They just looks like so creepy!

Park Han Byul is the GF of Seven LOL and I saw her before in the movie that I still didn't finish Fate!
Song Ji Hyo looks so familiar!? Where is she from??
Right she was playing the Queen in the movie A Frozen Flower with OPPA Jo In Seong & Joo Jin Mo that I still want to watch on DVD!
Also I didn't know Kwak Ji Min was in here! Who did she played? She is fifth on the cast list and I don't even know who she was. LOL I think the one with the cake?
I saw her earlier in Kim Ki Duk's Samaritan Girl!



Summary:
The legend goes that if you climb the twenty eight steps leading up to the school dormitory, counting each step aloud, and find a twenty ninth, a spirit will appear and grant you a wish.

Ji Seong remembering the old legend of the "Wishing Stairs" wishes for a place in the prestigious arts school, and in a shocking turn of events, she gets it, at the cost of her best friend, Kim So Hie's life.
