In the beginning I did not want to watch this drama. I m not really a fan of ghosts or fantasy ish dramas but since I was bored, I watched the first episode and kinda liked it. The first reason was the male lead, whom I ve been waiting for to grow up ever since I miss you. Anyway, I ended up waiting for the episodes weekly so I can say it s a drama I actually like. Even so, it s not the best drama ever. why?
1. The story. Even though I was excited to hear more about Man Wol s past, I can say it was not constructed really well. I think it needed more details and I find it that I still have some unanswered questions. Also, the daily ghost situation: at first it was ok, they were interesting but It got boring. Watching the same thing over and over again (new ghost, idk Chan Sung is in danger, Man wol saves him etc etc). The love story was slightly covered ( I find that their love didn t really have a point where it started--- which I should like, because technically the love grew bigger and bigger---but I saw no starting point)
What I mean is that I think the drama had no focus: it wasn t really the love story, but it wasn t the ghosts either. Lets say it was her past. Was it really? The past doesn t cover much.
2. The acting was ok. As expected form IU (obviously). The others acted well but there werent that many scenes where they could have shown really cool acting skills either. That s why I gave it a 9. The cast was really well chosen tho.
3. The music was on point. It made sad scenes even more heart breaking.
4. Hmm. Rewatch.. I would rewatch this but only in a few years maybe, after I forget what it is about. To be honest, I m pretty sure I won t. When I rewatch dramas I pick a random episode, because I know that every episode has something good going on. But here, I don t really know, there s a boring vibe it gives me.
*IMPORTANT* even though from this review it sounds like I kinda hated it, it s not true. I enjoyed every episode and when I had to be excited or shocked I was. The review compares it to my expectations of a really really good drama (also I ve just finished another one and it really blew my mind. So i might be comparing to it as well).
For a first watch, it is a cute drama that IS WORTH WATCHING.
