Korean Ghost Stories is a series of one-act dramas. It is the continuation of a classic series of ghost stories which aired first on KBS between 1977 and 1989 and between 1996 and 1999. This marks the return of the series after nine years.

"Korean Ghost Stories" is the typical Korean horror program that still resides in our memories. We all remember the time when we were waiting for the program's dismal music to begin. This program contains the traditional myths and old folk tales of neighborhood that our grandparents used to tell us. Different from the past, our children are living in a complex world. Nowadays, youngsters enjoy multicultural contents in real time, through internet and mass media. We are living in a culture war that various nations' cultural products attack viewers through diverse forms, such as novel, movie, drama, etc. This situation is same for summer horror programs. In this hot summer, there are three big reasons why "Korean Ghost Stories" should come back. First of all, the program features Korean traditional ghost tales, which had been a mainstay of summer. Second, our children should watch our own traditional contents, instead of the horror stories from unknown origins. Finally, it's the return of Korean summer contents with humor, satire, moral lesson, and admirable stories. Keeping the original version's ancient backdrop, "Korean Ghost Stories" presents a total of eight different episodes with modern plots and original themes.
