Wonderful Nightmare (Hangul: 미쓰 와이프; RR: Misseu Waipeu; lit. Miss Wife) is a 2015 South Korean romantic comedy film starring Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon.[1][2][3][4][5]
The early Korean working title literally translates to Wonderful Nightmare (Hangul: 멋진 악몽; RR: Meotjin Akmong), which was retained for the international English title.[6]
Plot
Yeon-woo is a successful lawyer who is killed in an automobile accident. She wakes in heaven to find that her death was a clerical error and it was actually an old woman with the same name who was meant to die.
To hide the mistake, she is asked to live as another woman – a housewife who was also killed by mistake – for just one month. Married to a very ordinary civil servant named Sung-hwan with a difficult teenage daughter and a precocious six-year-old, Yeon-woo finds herself changing in unexpected ways.
