This premise, coupled with such AMAZING actors with topnotch chemistry, had such strong potential, so why do I then, feel like it didn`t live up to it? What I`ve noticed throughout these couple of months watching Korean dramas, is that if there`s something wrong with it, the problem lies either in the lack of chemistry between the actors(which obviously isn`t the case here) or in the writing. And unfortunately, I have to say, for me, the latter is true, most notably in the last 7 to 8 episodes. And it goes to show, again, that some ratings are just not to be trusted here.

Good parts of this drama are GREAT. Both actors do their job exceptionally well, as they are veterans in their field and have such good banter and feeling between them, that I`m shocked, given the popularity of this drama, that they didn`t act together again. I especially appreciate the character of Joo Joong-won, portrayed masterfully by our oppa So Ji-sub. It is the type of character we`ve seen before, however, he still feels original and that "Get lost" gesture will forever be ICONIC. They`ve really put a lot of thought into this character and the way he develops. That, sadly, isn`t the case for all the characters, and I`m especially referring to Tae Gong-shil. I`m not going to lie:As much as I understood the motivation behind clinging so hard to Joong-won, and this got better as the show went on, and as much as I ADORE Gong Hyo-jin(she`s my absolute favorite Korean actress of all time), it is obvious that her character is underwritten. Badly. This is where, if you watched this show as one of your firsts, you`ll think, yes, but that`s fine she`s still a good character(good old denial, I`ve been there many, many times). She is on the cusp of being actually interesting and gripping main character, again, thanks to Hyo-jin, because if this character was done by anyone else, she would`ve gotten on my NERVES. I wish we`d gotten more on her background, the way her powers developed and even on the three years she spent as a ghost, rather than just glossing over it all as if it wasn`t a major part of the main plotline. I`m still salty about that. And, the worst of all, I`m so salty about the writers of this show becoming lazy, especially with the last few episodes. AMNESIA trope, really??Are you kidding me?If anyone asked me what trope I wished would disappear off of the face of the Earth, it wouldn`t even be rich guy, poor girl or even bad boy, good girl, it would be this. AMNESIA trope every time. I understood right away that we`ll be seeing either Gong-shil or Joong-won as ghosts at some point, it would only be appropriate, but not in this way.

Why?It was so unnecessary and shoehorned in. Also, while I don`t hate the ending as much as others did, I do have to admit that it leaves something to be desired. I do like that she can still see ghosts and has learned to accept it, as it was a big part of her character. Still, you should give this drama a watch, if for nothing else, then for the great chemistry and acting by both of the leads. I just wish they could`ve shone brighter than the Sun.
