Choi Daniels sex appeal

Great casting, overall exiting theme and the best work of Choi Daniel's career! I thought it was a solid thriller/ghost-drama that delivered some great episodes, BUT it fell through during the last few episodes. I guess that they painted themselves into a corner by all the rules of what ghosts could do or not do that they had to make up nonsense plot for it all to tie together in the end :/

Although the last episodes felt even more unrealistic than a normal supernatural series episode should be, it gets an solid 7 from me! I was so taken by surprised by Choi Daniel, first time that I've seen that he actually has talent and some sex appeal so really enjoyed his role as Lee Da Il. Not only did I enjoy Lee Da Il, the supporting cast was per usual amazing. I didn't expect anything less from the comedic genius Kim Won Hae who can make any bleak drama funny with his wits and natural comedic gestures. Lee Jae Kyoon also showed that he is a force to reckon with as a romantic but hardworking policeman and Lee Ji Ah did an incredible performance as always!

I liked the casting but I feel like I could have loved it if the female antagonist Lee Ji Ah and protagonist Park Eun Bin had another scriptwriters that actually could make their characters a little deeper than water in a puddle. They made an amazing job with what they had but their lines were terrible from time to time, cliche after cliche.

The OST was great, especially the song "Dream Me" sung by Red Velvet's Joy ft. NCT's Mark. It really fitted the drama during a lot of the scenes and is a catchy song that I actually added to my regular spotifylists. Also liked Yoon Mirae's song, but what else can you expect from the OST queen?

Wouldn't rewatch it but that doesn't make it any less of a drama! A good watch, but when you get to know some of it's plotpoints I wouldn't see a reason to feel exited watching it again. As said in the beginning; A great cast and soundtrack with a bit of nonsense plot but a good watch which made me a bit scared at times! The Ghost Detective get's a 6.5 from me.
