The setup

A Disney Channel-style promo introduces a peppy family sitcom whose mom has come home as a vengeful long-haired Korean water ghost.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Siblings Hayley and Max cheerfully explain that their mother never returned from a business trip to South Korea, where a jilted official drowned her and she became a dripping water ghost. The bright promo then cuts between standard family-sitcom beats and horror-movie scares: the ghost crawls out of the television on movie night, lurks in doorways and under the bedcovers, and deals violently with Max's science teacher when he comes by to discuss bad grades. The kids decide to keep it all from their oblivious dad as the network promises a family with far too much spirit.

Highly quotable.

He was worried she would blab, so he drowned her in a river.

Okay, nobody tells Dad.

Tune in for the family that has too much spirit.
