    Need help remembering a movie

    Ok, not sure if this is the place to post this but for some reason this memory just came to my head. I remember as a kid once watching a chinese movie where this guy falls in love with a ghost (not chinese ghost story 1,2, or 3). It's a similiar concept only it's set in modern times. Basically, the guy falls in love with this girl who is a ghost, they have fun, then she gets exorcised by some other dude. The main thing I remember is that there was a music box involved somehow with a really cute little melody. Sorry I can't be more specific but the memory of this movie is very vague in my mind but for some reason I want to watch it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks but nah, this is the original chinese ghost story (of which 2 sequels were later made). It's a pretty good movie (probably better than the one in my mind) but not what I was looking for. The one that I'm thinking of is a more contemporary version of this one.

    The spirit of Love? Gag. Why not call it something more ethereal?

    haha, well, it is a chinese movie and they don't usually care to spend a lot of time with the English title.

    As far as the chinese title goes, the direct translation is "ying yang boo-boo" ...

    Ying usually means the spiritual realm, Yang means the physical realm. So the title means something like "a mistake with the physical and spiritual realm" that caused the girl's spirit to linger in this world ...
