Wishing Stairs (여고과담 3: 여우계단 Yeogo goedam 3: Yeowoo gyedan) is a 2003 South Korean horror film. It is the third in a series of South Korean horror films set in girls high schools that began with 1998's Whispering Corridors, but, as with all movies in the series so far, is unrelated to the others. Similar films not in the series include Dead Friend.
'Watch Your Step'
The legend goes that if you climb the twenty eight steps leading up to the school dorimtory, counting each step aloud, and find a twenty ninth, a spirit will appear and grant you a wish.

The movie takes place in a girl's art school and focuses on two friends studying ballet, however their friendship soon turns sour when they find themselves competing for a single spot in a Russian ballet school. Yun Ji-seong played by Sung Ji Hyo, remembering the old legend of the "Wishing Stairs" wishes for a place in the prestigious ballet school, and in a shocking turn of events, she gets it, at the cost of her best friend, Kim So-hie's life. However, it's only when the extremely odd character of Eom Hye-ju wishes the dead girl back, that an unspeakable evil is released.
The film itself seems to mirror the ballet "Giselle," which girls in the film are studying. So-hie as Giselle. Jin-sung as Albrecht. Jin-sung betrays So-hie, is haunted by her ghost, and in the end forgiven, but with a very different outcome than the ballet.
