YOON Jin-sung (Song Ji Hyo)
"Turn it all back, make it all turn back!"
A second-year ballet major in the dance department at a girls art high school.

Unable to express her feelings due to their friendship, Jin-sung's inferiority complex becomes more intense. She suppresses her feelings, but her jealousy leads her to wonder what it would be like if there were no So-hee... The Wishing Stairs reveals its 29th step to Jin-sung.

KIM So-hee (Park Han Byul)
"I won't leave you behind... I will always be with you..."
A second-year ballet major in the dance department at a girls art high school. As the prettiest girl in the school she is the focus of all the students' envy. So-hee possesses everything, but the only friend with whom she can express her true feelings is Jin-sung. She sees Jin-sung as the only means to fill her empty heart. Finally, she is granted her wish to be always together with Jin-sung.

Synopsis:
The movie takes place in a girl's art school and focuses on two friends studying ballet, however their friendship soon turns sour when they find themselves competing for a single spot in a Russian ballet school. Yun Ji-seong played by Sung Ji Hyo, remembering the old legend of the "Wishing Stairs" wishes for a place in the prestigious ballet school, and in a shocking turn of events, she gets it, at the cost of her best friend, Kim So-hie's life. However, it's only when the extremely odd character of Eom Hye-ju wishes the dead girl back, that an unspeakable evil is released.

The film itself seems to mirror the ballet "Giselle", which girls in the film are studying. So-hie as Giselle. Jin-sung as Albrecht. Jin-sung betrays So-hie, which in turn leads to So-hie being crippled and committing suicide when faced with the fact she will no longer be able to dance ballet. When So-hie's spirit is wished back, Jin-sung is haunted by So-hie's ghost, and in the end forgiven. The film, however has a very different outcome than that of the ballet.

My Opinion:
This movie brings light on the tensions and violence in school life. It deals with jealousy and competition among high school girls. It has lessons among friends/bestfriends.
