Enjoyable
It's not going to change the world or anything, but this show had a lot going for it. I laughed, I cried, I binged.
STORY: Yeong Min has taken over being a taxi driver following the hit and run murder of his mom. He lives with his grandmother (loved her!) and the bank is going to take away their house If he doesn't come up with a large amount of money that's owed, and quickly. Suddenly he's got an amnesiac ghost in his car, which certainly doesn't help him bring in any money. She wants help figuring out who she is, he's totally focused on getting money for his debt, and at the beginning they are like oil and water. There are quite a few comedic scenes revolving around this. This is a story about how they go about getting what both of them want/need. There seemed to be a new storyline in every episode or so that gave us new ghosts, as well as clues as to what happened to mom and the identity of the ghost passenger. Red herrings are thrown out left and right, making us wonder who the evil people are, and everyone got their turn. Are the police on the take? What's happening at the hospital? Do the ghosts play any part in getting to the bottom of everything? There was a little romance, and I have to say I appreciated the time that the leads spent together and the conversations they had. It was a progressive building of a relationship that made sense, plus the addition of "How in the heck will this relationship ever work?!"
ACTING: It was good. I quite enjoyed Yoon Chan Young as Yeong Min. Maybe because he's not a famous actor, I could focus on the character. I thought he did a good job. The FL was irritating at times, but mostly just in the first episode or so. I know that writing had a lot to do with it, but I appreciated how, other than the two leads, you never really knew if someone was a bad guy or not. Bonus: Jeon So Min (Something About 1%) had a cameo as a ghost...cute.
I don't really remember the music. I probably won't rewatch for two reasons: 1) Now I know what happens; and 2) My To Watch list is seriously long.
It was an enjoyable way to completely waste a Saturday.
