Must See

Usually I wouldn't watch this kind of horror drama because horror is my least fav genre, but after taking a chance to watch this it wasn't as scary as i thought so that was a good thing. This is the first drama I have watched of So Ji Sub and his acting didn't disappoint that he definitely looked like a teddy bear during some scenes and didn't look like a scary guy but rather someone who would protect his woman and another thing I love was the soundtrack to this drama which was amazing. This drama has now become one of my top 10 on my drama list which is so good!

best chemistry between leads.

my favourite drama. watched it over 10 times. might watch it soon. a must watch. if you can get through the first 2 episodes. then it becomes amazing.

it goes from scary to comedy, romance.

acting is superb. but nothing beats chemistry between the lead actors. i watch 100 drama after this and still think it best chemistry i have seen, and who can't love secretary kim?

ending is good. could have been better. even season two with some animal none sense.( wont spoil it for you)

I loved the drama. It had a pretty crazy story and some cliche things and scenes. However we can ignore those in favor of the interesting plot and great chemistry between the main leads ( the main lead was freaking great and so was the second male lead) At first the male lead was rough and cold hearted but later he turned into such a romantic. Honestly in these kind of dramas when suddenly the cold , jerk male lead falls in love and turns all cute , I find that a little cringy but it didn't happen in this case. The male lead softened all right but it didn't went out of his character and was soooo romantic. I loved the way how he would never let anyone touch his things except the girl unconsciously. It was damn cute.
Another thing I loved was the later segment when the boy had amnesia. Usually I find this particular twist extremely irritating because let's face it, it's not easy to develop amnesia. You don't get it just by a simple hit on the head or a surgery. Besides when you say memory it contains so many elements visual input, touch, smell, hearing , our feelings , muscle memory, habits etc. That's why it's not so easy to erase so many things which is obviously ignored in the dramas. HOWEVER IT WASN'T IM THIS ONE. I loved how he kept feeling a huge part was missing. He became confused when by habit he went to her office. He couldn't remember a single thing but still he found her by his instincts. Even when he saw that pendent on another girl he became confused. He felt he knew the pendent but felt uneasy about the person. He even saw her face first when waking up still he didn't confused her with the female lead ( THANK GOD) He kept trying to tie the loose ends.
About side characters , I really loved the second lead, his girlfriend and the main lead's uncle.
The second lead was freaking handsome and I loved how he slowly fell for her. The most touching thing was he even conquered his fear just to be with her. He was so afraid of death. He hated even mentioning that. However for the female lead he started to believe in ghosts , helped her ( tried to cheer up a ghost 😂) , even secretly went to cemetery at night to protect her (awwww he is too good😭) .
The second lead' s girlfriend was also good. I loved how she didn't turn into a negetive character. She was jealous but she was not hateful. She taunted the main girl but when needed also helped her. It was good to see her happy at the end.
The aunt and uncle were also pretty good. At first I thought it would a typical case where the relatives will try to sabotage the whole thing. However it turned out the aunt really loved her nephew so was just trying to protect him. She never did any outrageous thing though. Most hilarious was the uncle. He reminded me of our typical close relatives who stir up trouble and reports about us to our parents however when needed supports and tries to help us😂. It was great.

OMG, so much to say about The Master's sun, Firs of all I have to say that after watching episode 1 I stopped watching because I wasn't getting the ghosts and their stories. And also because I thought it will be some kind of episodic ghost until the very end. But after some months I gave this drama another chance, and I'm very glad I did it. Of course at the beginning in order to get our OTP together they have the episodic ghosts, but after that is game on!! Also watching Ji Suh doing this kind of character was awesome, I have only seen him in heavy dramas such as I'm sorry I love you and Cain and Abel, but here he was so cute, that after watching this I had to re watched MISA and also watched Oh my Venus!

I think the casting for his drama fit perfectly and there is so much cuteness at the final episodes that you better be prepared for all that.

Highly recommend this drama please do watch!

Thrilling and fun to watch

This is a 2013 paranormal romance thriller written by the Hong Sisters. It has 17,60 minute, episodes.

As a rich but emotionally cold chaebol, Joo Joong-won (So Ji-sub) seems to have it all. He doesn’t realize what is missing until his fate takes a turn and he encounters Tae Gong-shil (Gong Hyo-jin), who unwillingly sees ghosts. For some reason, quite by accident, Ging-shil discovers that when she touches Joong-won her nightmarish encounters with ghosts goes away. So she strikes up a bargain to help Joong-won recover a lost fortune in exchange for being allowed closely by his side.

Spoiler alert ** I love the character Gong-shil. It would be absolutely horrifying to see the things she does and have no idea how to make it stop. It is a bit reminiscent of the American movie “The Sixth Sense”. Like that movie she sees dead people and if she solves a problem they can go on. The thing is she does not have the courage to face them until she discovers her magic bullet which is Jon-won whenever she is around him the ghosts are at bay. At first he wants nothing to do with this odd girl but as he begins to understand more about her he starts to care and genuinely wNt to help. Two different people who compliment each other. It was exciting and entertaining and is one of my favorite.

A highly recommended drama. The story is absolutely amazing, the plot goes smoothly and things unfold perfectly as the series goes on. Theres no way this drama disappointed me.

Both So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin acting are great and they matched perfectly especially with the romcom genre and ad the supports, the characters are perfect. Osts are also good esp Touch Love and You Drive Me Crazy!!!

I actually rewatch it already for a couple of times but this never fail to make me laugh and cry! because of that episodes ughhh

NO MORE OTHER COMMENTS, JUST WATCH IT AND BE ALSO AMAZED

This one surprised me, in a good way

I love this show!! So Ji Sub could read the phone book and I would love it. Seo In Guk, pretty much the same thing. I love them both. Gong Hyo Jin was excellent - she was pretty over the top in the first few episodes and then kind of settled into her character. I've watched this multiple times and enjoyed it each time.

I really liked the paranormal aspects of the show. Normally, that might not be something that I'm drawn to, but I could really feel the FL's angst/fear/exhaustion of having a "gift" that she considered a curse. Her loneliness was another thing that was almost palpable - to be forced to keep yourself apart from everyone was so sad, and that emotion was demonstrated so well.

There was a lot of humor in this show as well. When you've got two characters that don't exactly know what to do with each other, that could go in either direction. Thankfully, the writers knew what to do with the characters and I enjoyed the ride.

Usually, this is not my genre (the show is a bit on the horror side and, except for vampire stuff, I get scared quite easily), but I was so attracted by the cast (I love both So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin) that I decided to give it a chance.
The show is overall lovely, although in my humble opinion it drags itself out too much.
So Ji-Sub and Gong Hyo Jin are simply amazing together, all my stars are for them. They really have great chemistry but, most of all, they're so good. The same story acted by someone else could've been much worse, but they can make any plot believable and enjoyable.

Tae Gong Shil was the "Tae Yang" aka. big sun in her class. She was pretty, smart and had many friends until one day she had a terrible accident. She was in a coma and after she woke up, she could see ghosts. Being scared of them, she wasn't able to sleep and stayed at home all day to prevent running into ghosts that wouldn't leave her alone until she helped them. But this fact changes one day, when she meets Ju Jung Won. Whenever he touches her, the ghosts disappear. To use him as a shelter, she actually starts working at the shopping mall he owns and slowly he gets dragged into her world.

At first I was really scared of this drama. The ghosts look awful at first and I really understand why Gong Sil would be scared. But in the end, I got used to them and started to like the stories of the ghosts. They definitely are one of the good parts in this drama, since they never disappear. It's always about ghosts, not just some excuse or decoration around a main romance story.

Also, all the side characters are lovable. At first you might think you will end up disliking some of them, but it's really nice to see them come and go and add a bit to the story. They are all lovable characters.

What was lacking again is the ending. This drama was made by the Hong sisters, who also made My girlfriend is a Gumhio, You're Beautiful, Big, etc. and most of the time, I have a big problem with their endings. This time I didn't actually have a problem with it, it's just that it was lacking compared to the rest of the show. It might or might not be because of the one episode they had to add. They actually managed well to add one episode, the story still was interesting and cute. But I felt like it dragged and should've ended at some earlier point. Especially since the excitement level at the end was just too low for my taste. Where normally one episode wraps everything up, it felt like there were three wrap up episodes.

But on the good side, I was really happy while watching this drama. I would even say it's as nice as Greatest Love, since they didn't mess up the story (like in Gumiho or Big...).

My biggest reason for loving this drama is the acting. They are all just so great and lovely. My favorite part is when Ju Jung Won starts to talk to things he can't see. It just made his character 1000% more adorable and made him look so much in love with Gong Sil.

All in all, I don't regret watching it and even though it might not be as much a 10* drama as other dramas I've rated it still among them, it was still too good to rate it worse, especially after going back and comparing it with other Hong Sister dramas. Last but not least: please don't be scared of the ghosts in this drama! You will get used to them and they are all nice.

For the first time in awhile, I waiting for time to go faster so I don't have to wait FIVE DAYS for the next two chapters. It's been only 2 weeks and I have already watch each episode over four times. I love it! So Ji Sub...is a man beyond my dreams and makes great chemestry with our lovely protagonist...
You have to watch it...and you will surely understand this review and my rating. I agree with the review that she doesn't like to rate dramas until after they are finished...I would've said the same thing if, it wasnt so hypnotizing...

Liked the story , guess 12 and 13 episodes were a bit dragging, other than that, i liked it. Gong shill can see ghosts and only Joon won can give her the mental peace she badly is in need of. Together they attend to the requests of ghosts and Joong won manages to get some good business deals in between. How they do it is the real interesting part in this drama. I watched it twice. Love it! Good story, good plot and good ending!
