So Ji-sub as Joo Joong-won
Kim Myung-soo as young Joo Joong-won
President of the Kingdom Group. A handsome, self-centered, haughty, ambitious, and money-driven businessman, Joong-won puts a price on every relationship. The trauma of a kidnapping incident when he was younger has rendered him extremely mercenary and distrustful, as well as dyslexic. Upon learning of Gong-shil's supernatural ability, he keeps her near him, hoping to use her to communicate with his dead girlfriend Hee-joo in tracking down the ₩10 billion ransom paid in the form of Joong-won's mother's diamond necklace (the case's statute of limitations is almost up). But as he grows closer to Gong-shil, Joong-won comes to value the more important things in life. (His first name joong-won literally means "ruling position" or "supremacy.")
Gong Hyo-jin as Tae Gong-shil
A beautiful young woman. She was once a bright and sunny person. But after a mysterious accident, she suddenly gains the ability to see ghosts. They continually haunt her – some wanting her to fulfill their last wishes, others merely scaring her. Gong-shil becomes an outcast, unable to hold down a job and suffers from insomnia. She then works as a cleaning lady at Kingdom shopping mall after she discovers that the ghosts are banished whenever she touches the company president, Joong-won, the most selfish man she's ever known. She begins working for him as his secretary (in name only) and because of Joong-won, she slowly opens herself up to the world.
