In a mountain village, there is a **'forbidden land'** long off-limits. The place, where an eerie-looking shrine stands, is said to curse those who enter — even cost them their lives — a land with a dark history.
The apparition tied to that forbidden land, **'Dara-san,'** and the people who come to be involved with her unfold a slightly strange, laid-back everyday.
An apparition that should be scary, yet somehow can't be hated. An addictive work where horror and comedy coexist exquisitely. The theme song 'Daradara♡Dancing,' sung by Dara-san herself, is also talked about. Airing from July 2026.
