Muoi: The Legend Of A Portrait is a 2007 horror film directed by Kim Tae-kyeong. The movie is a South Korean/Vietnamese co-production starring Jo An, Cha Ye-ryeong, and Anh Thu as Muoi.
Yun-hee (Jo An) is a South Korean writer but hasn't published a book in three years, but things seem to be getting better as she receives a call from an old friend, Seo-yeon (Cha Ye-ryeong), who has been living in Vietnam for quite some time. The call is about Seo-Yeon informing Yun-hee about a local Vietnamese folklore legend about a woman named Muoi and her haunted portrait.
Yun-hee then decides to travel to Vietnam to help her friend with her research; there she learns that over a hundred years ago Muoi was a beautiful woman who after posing for a local artist became his lover.
Now, it seems that some monks protect Muoi's painting and warn people about her ghost, which is said to haunt the village. The longer Yun-hee works with Seo-yeon in knowing about Muoi, the more she feels that the curse maybe haunting her; soon after, she begins to suspect that her friend, Seo-yeon, has a sinister secret and a strange connection to the story.
