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.

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.
