Reviews
This review may contain spoilers
How this show only has four episodes, I'll never know! This show was definitely a highlight for my year even though it came out in 2013; definitely a favorite of mine for forever. Each episode was thrilling and filled with creative suspense and unique talent up until the very last moment! I never could have predicted what would happen next within each episode. I wish there were more than four episodes, it definitely carried itself well between the actor's, actresses, and the storyline/plot(s).The family, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, and "ghosts" were all very honest, genuine, real people. This is definitely not a typical drama or special-series involving ghosts or family drama, and it is definitely not a drama you can watch just anywhere from any network. This show has something special; each episode showed a very vulnerable, open, raw side to each person involved in this series. It has the power of laughter one second, then anger, then worry, then fear, and then even tears. Though at the end of this series I was left with the feeling of pride, happiness, accomplishment, and I even feel like I learned a lot from each person involved in this wonderful show.

Such a pure, refreshing little masterpiece!
What a lovely dorama! In the short span of four episodes, the authors managed to craft a wonderful, heartwarming, delicate, touching and poetic story that deals with deep issues like loss, guilt, tragedy, family, friendship, love. The main character is often called a "ghost picture detective", but "soul detective" would probably be a more precise definition. I literally loved every single minute of this hidden gem! Perfect script, great acting, nice score...such a pure, refreshing little masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned!Was this review helpful to you?
