If at any point you find yourself thinking during this show, you need to step back and stop it. This show isn't for any type of thought. At no point should you try to find meaning or ponder good and evil, light and dark and it's impact on our lives. If you feel this drama is leading you into a deeper path, you are dead wrong (See what I did there?). It is best to watch it with out a thought in your head and in that way it is truly entertaining.

The story had such potential. The idea that a college student and his ghost girlfriend help with supernatural problems sounds very interesting. And at first it was. I liked the meet cue between the ML and FL. It was fun with a hint of scare and a bit of action, what's not to like? But instead of continuing with this main theme it gets lost somewhere in the telling of the personal story. It would have been much better if they had been able to integrate the ghost fighting in with the personal stories better. Yes, they did have an evil spirit that connected everyone but it felt like two different shows to me. Someone else said the pacing seemed off a little and I agree with thought completely. It really wasn't that scary either, which is good for me. I don't do true 'horror'. There are some jump scares and at first the ghosts are creepy but that gets old quickly because they all looked and moved exactly the same. I often got bored with in some of the episodes but not enough to drop it. The story kept going just enough to keep me interested overall.

The acting was decent. I really liked the two goofy friends who are a bit over the top but it felt like it fit to me. Kang Ki Young, who plays Choi Cheon Sang, really does this kind of character well. The main couple did a good job. Taecyeon had that cool, outcast, badboy with a heart of gold part down pat. And I liked how Kim So Hyun played the sassy sidekick. None of the characters had any depth and depth wasn't needed.

The beauty of this show was in its lack of depth. Don't ask questions, just accept it and you will be entertained.
