The horror elements weren't cheesy, or all that scary (for those of you turned off by horror). I think the Hong Sister's did a great job of making sure the stories still connected to both of the main character's development, so they aren't just completely random.
I thought the story was mostly original, and really well told, even though I'm not really a fan of dramas that include a bunch of unrelated mini stories in each episode. It's the cast that held together the weaker episodes, because they were all so likable. Han Bo Reum was maybe the only slightly boring one in the main bunch, but was still good enough to not be a distraction. He was great as the caretaker/quiet instigator Kim Gwi Do. Choi Jung Woo was another favorite of mine. Their storyline, and chemistry, was also a lot of fun to watch. Kim Yoo-ri was great, and it was really fun to love & hate her as Tae Yi Ryung. Seo In-Guk was so charming, that he didn't get completely over shadowed by So Ji Sub, which is very impressive. I think the entire cast was outstanding, even the minor roles. They are, hands down, two of my favorites in K-Drama. Both play the comedic moments, and the emotional moments equally well. The premise for their romance is pretty far fetched, but their chemistry was amazing, and their characters were so well played that even the most unbelievable parts worked. What made me love this drama so much, from the very first episode, was So Ji Sub & Gong Hyo Jin. What more can I ask for in a K-Drama? lol! So, I had pretty low expectations of this drama when I read the synopsis, but It was the most fun I've had watching a drama in a while.I laughed, I cried, I crushed hard on So Ji Sub. I just wanted to make that bias clear before I continued. Rewatch Value 9.0 I'll just start this review by saying that So Ji Sub can officially do no wrong in my eyes. All the genres that the drama incorporates (Horror, Romance, Mystery, Comedy), everything is in a perfect blend and nothing overpowers the other. Almost so much that I forgot about the way it was dragged :PĮither way, don't let anything stop you from trying out this show. But the writers need to be commended for giving a good and proper ending to the show. Granted it's not unreasonable and foolish, there's a good solid reasoning behind it, but for me, it went on a little too long.
Too much push-pull tactic going on between the lead pair for my taste. But there was still the slight glitch that I faced towards the later part of the show. It's definitely one of the shows I could rewatch again without much hesitation. The melody of the tracks especially, was quite soothing.ĭespite the fact that there is so much I like in this show, there are things that stopped me from giving it a perfect overall 10 rating. The songs were beautiful and catchy, and put forth the emotions well. The OST of this drama was really likable. I'm definitely going to try other works by these actors. I loved the work of each actor in this show. I'm currently watching another work of her's (It's Okay It's Love) and she's simply marvelous. I could easily connect with the character because of him. His persona and charm as Joong Won was impressive. Su Ji Sub was a pure delight to watch on the screen. I wouldn't say it is perfect since it gets a little draggy in the middle, but that usually happens in almost all the dramas, even the really good ones, so it's not really something you should base your decision on, just giving you a heads up. The horror element could have easily become pitiable and downright miserable, but the writers kept a good balance between spooky and funny. The execution and direction was praiseworthy. I began it nonetheless and to be honest I should have lowered my expectations a little and I might have enjoyed it more, much more than what I felt this time. The moment I read the synopsis I knew I wanted to watch the show, but again the generally high ratings were turning me off a little, as I didn't want to start the show with unrealistic expectations.
The story had me hooked right from the beginning. You should also take that into account and watch this show if you haven't yet, you're missing out on some really good writing and acting. Rewatch Value 9.0 Another highly acclaimed and loved drama that I was putting off (It's become my habit to that) and regretting watching it so late.
