Oh My Ghost (2015)

Not your typical romantic comedy. The character Kang Seon Woo is great, facial expressions are too cute and he was just fun to watch. Great chemistry between each of the charters. LOVED Shin Sun Ae character, fun and bubbly and just great to watch. Na Bong Seon character was lovely. Though I do not care for the that type of characters that are supposed to be mosquito voice weak and shy. I wanted her to take charge more and figure out what was going on and try to help the ghost more. But se grows on you and eventually becomes a bit stronger though was was not my favorite. Loved the mother daughter relationship between the Shaman and Shin Sun Ae character. The bad guy was good, he sure did do evil really good. He was like a light switch, back and forth between comical and evil. Great message from the drama. Enjoyed all the playful scenes between the cooks and the lead couple Shin Sun Ae character & chef when Na Bong Seon was possessed (or when her role required her to be upbeat and charming). STill great but I think I would have been even more pleased if I didn't have to sit through so many episodes. I was becoming impatient waiting for things to move along and people to figure things out. I even would go as far as saying that I would have been fine if chef ended up with the other girl.

this drama is the kind of smooth cute one
u can watch many times without bothering u EXCEPT as usual the end and many flaws

first i was so provoked from bo young character then every ep. i understand y she was that weakness
but i wasn't satisfied about the plot of her character development cause i thought that seul gi will make a deal wz her and give her the space and time wz jung sook and people around so it 'll be logic when she changed
but that didn't happen
so i wasn't convinced much about how suddenly she changed

and logically seul gi should tell bo young about the whole day details while she was possessed
but she didn't do that also which provoked me much and gave me the feeling that seul gi is a an evil B****


jung sook
what doesn't convinced me also that he was in love wz jung ah since college how suddenly when she came to him he felt that he stopped loving her :(

joo hwan
i appreciated a lot all that he came through
but HOW COME THAT END for him full of question marks as if we should suggest and fill in the space
how they rescued him??
what was the crimes he 'll go to jail for??
after his memory loss how they going to judge him??
and what his future is going to be wz hye sun??
and his mother in law and his brother in law what was their feelings towards him after what they discovered??
this was the only end that provoked me so much
i didn't get at all what happened to him

ki young
this was the most provoking B***** character for me i really hated him so much

shi yang
was the type of my dream knight really i loved him so much

except those points the drama is really nice and touchy i enjoyed much

I wasn't sure whether I should watch this drama or not. From the plot summery, it seemed like yet another bubbly K drama, with the cute girl getting into all shorts of trouble, but finally getting the boy. But the main plot, along with the ghost's background story, proved to be much more than just a cute romance. There were some funny moments, though the romance wasn't that great, as you didn't know whether to like Na Bong or the ghost, but the whole mystery and the bad-guy-chase really gave something to this drama. Of course it all resolves to Park Bo Young's acting. She can swift from one character to the other with great easiness that you can distinguish the ghost from the real person quickly. The whole cooking theme was a great idea as well, as it gave a nice atmosphere to the drama. So 9 out of 10.

Life is Joyful

Just finished this today and i decided to write my thought, i thought it was a pretty solid drama until i got to the last episode,it did broke my heart but i did already come to terms with it after she got her justice and then i cried. The last episode was the only episode that i got to shed tears after laughing all through the first episode, it was really an emotional coaster for me because i did fell in love with the two female leads especially the ghost girl, life is a lesson because at times you will want to be good and at times you will also want to be bad. Being a good samaritan can also backfire on you like in the case of our ghost girl. If you want to watch this drama but the comments are putting you off, i implode you to watch it for yourself and not for what others are saying, i too was being skeptical about watching it but i decided to foregone the comments and reviews and just watch it for myself and it seems i made the right decision. I have no bad feelings on this drama because i understood it point blank, there was nothing to be done since she was already dead except to get justice for her which she got and then she moved on which was the right thing to do giving her circumstances. It's a good drama with comedy,romance and thriller as well so for me it's an ok drama with no regret. I love the male chefs as well,they contributed to my laughter a lot plus the ghost girl behaviour. Watch it and be happy, we don't need to criticise everything just because we don't understand something.

This drama was brought to my attention by a friend who is a big fan of Park Bo Young. Having watched SWDBS and A werewolf Boy, I can say that I am a fan of her talent. So I started the series with very few expectations based on the synopsis and since I only know a few of the cast I was open to alot of possibilities.

I started the first episode with intense curiosity, and right after the second episode I am ready to drop the series entirely.

(If you haven't completed the Series Please stop here unless you live for spoilers)

THE BAD
1. SLOW PACE - The first six episodes were like watching two turtles in a marathon. The character build up doesn't seem to end up until the end of the 6th episode.
2. CONFUSING PLOT - The MAIN characters that were highlighted on the synopsis were the timid Bong Sun, sexually oriented GHOST and a self centered chef. But after watching the entire show the REAL MAIN characters here are the POLICE MAN and THE DEAD GIRL. BONG SUN and THE CHEF were the biggest most glorified extra's.
3. Potentials unexplored -Cordon could've posed a bigger threat to the love affair but was only given a glimpse of an opportunity. Instead they opted to the PD who remotely left a dent to the story.

THE GOOD
1. CHEMISTRY - JJS and PBY has a certain degree of chemistry that is cute. It ain't as hot as the Song-Song couple but it was enough to keep me from the dropping the show altogether. After watching the series I wished that they are together as a couple in another show with a better story.
2. SUPPORT - CORDON could've been the best third party but was dropped even before his character made progress. Nonetheless his presence kept viewers hanging on their seats.
3. The Main Leads - Park Bo Young truly showed how great an actress she is. Switching from one character to another and making viewers believe that there are two sides of her. It is not new in the industry to have such character and very few are able to pull-it off. While Jo Jung Suk was a new flavor for me, This I believe is his first work that I watched and I am impressed by him. I am now looking forward to watching another drama of his.

THE GREAT

After a very long dragging 16 episode series, it is no doubt that there is only one thing that is GREAT about this show.

IM JOO HWAN

It only took me a few seconds to decide that he is the best part of this series. His last battle with the Evil Spirit was "GOLD". That's quality acting, that deserved an award.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is best to not expect anything because you will not get any.

The drama might have had opportunities for a very compelling story build up but it failed miserably in all of those instances.
There were a lot of Cliches which are both good and "meh" but the worst part is that the story itself doesn't even know where it's going. Loopholes everywhere!!!! Be careful not to fall into one because you'll never recover.
At first I was interested as to how the Original BS can fight off the irritating Ghost and redeem her character and become a worthy opponent to create a more interesting story - But then the character didn't, so okay, move-on.

FINAL SAY:

I was led to believe that the story indeed is about how the love story goes. But NO. It is all about the Ghost and her Grudge!
It feels to me as if they made the main story (a could have been potentially thrilling and beautiful story) just a side plot and placed a Cliche Love Story (which could've been great due to the chemistry between the Leads but they failed miserably to deliver) as the main Plot.

I would still recommend it for watching despite my obvious disappointment. It is due to the fact that I was impressed by PBY JJS and IJH.
