Oh My Ghost Episode 16 Reactions
Non-spoiler part:
Oh My Ghost has a lot of potential: a fun possession premise, solid acting (especially Park Bo-young juggling two personalities), and a cute slow-burn romance mixed with ghost stories that are sometimes touching and sometimes creepy. The mystery around Soon-ae’s death is intriguing and keeps you watching, and the secondary characters add warmth and depth. The humor works in the middle episodes, and the chemistry between Bong-sun / Soon-ae and Sun-woo is genuinely enjoyable when it focuses on their growth.The biggest problem is the tone inconsistency: the beginning is very cringe (Soon-ae’s hyper-sexualized behavior feels forced and uncomfortable), the middle is entertaining, but the last episode completely derails everything with a rushed, overly saccharine happy ending that ignores the gravity of the darker themes the drama itself introduced.
Spoiler part (major ending spoilers):
The final episode ruins most of what came before. The main romance feels unfinished and unsatisfying: Sun-woo falls for Soon-ae’s bold personality, but he barely knows the real Bong-sun beyond her blog and her “victim” side. Instead of using the last episode to show them truly building a relationship (more scenes of Bong-sun in control, more romantic moments between her and Sun-woo), the drama sends Bong-sun abroad for two years to “grow” — only for her to end up working in Soon-ae’s father’s cheap restaurant. The “I didn’t contact you because I missed you too much” line is pure cheese, and the long-distance break feels artificial and unnecessary.
So-hyung getting a perfect clone of her dead husband (same looks, same gentle personality) is lazy and makes her entire grief arc feel pointless.
The absolute worst is Eun-Hui and Seong-Jae. Seong-Jae paralyzed her, married her knowing the truth like a stalker, killed at least two people (and probably more evil deeds all these years), possession doesn't explain all because as a child he wanted to kill a baby — and yet he survived and Eun-Hui chooses to stay with him, hoping he never regains his memory, because she believes “he’s good deep down.” The audience knows the possession backstory, but Eun-Hui has no real way to rationalize or forgive such extreme violence. It’s not a touching redemption; it’s a forced “everyone gets a happy ending” that completely undermines the drama’s own darker themes.
Overall, the show had a strong middle and interesting ideas, but the ending feels dishonest and rushed. The crimes were too serious for such a light, forgiving resolution.— watchable until episode 15, but the finale really hurts it.

Satisfying ending.
Didn't seemed rushed. Good closure to all the characters. Felt bad for Sung Jae though. Eun Hee is soo kind and pure. She loved him soo much. My fav character. Soon Ae and his father's last interaction was so heart wrenching.

It's really good, but the plot gets slow in the middle. The character development in the ghost is good. Her whole story is bitter sweet since you see the humanity of a person who won't be able to live their lives. Kinda wished Bong-soon fell in love with Sun-ae instead. Since they had more development in their relationship than the main couple.

Awesome cute movie!!! I loved the depth of the story. One of my favorites movies!!! The main actors are so adorable! I loved the correlation between the main ghost and the main character, how they become one at one point, how the mystery crime got resolved. Very touching story too. I definitely recommend that movie!

"Today is D-Day." -Kang Seon Woo
I am so happy with this ending. Not only does it provide closure, but I like that the time jump of two years isn't a quick flash on the screen. It get's length and everyone is fully developed.
My disappointment in Seong Jae story is actually elaborated on. While part of me worries for Eun Hee. Either way I'm still super happy that there is more Seong Jae, it felt like the evil spirit won. Well, now it didn't. Ha!
I love the whole crew in the kitchen and I love that they weren't cast aside. Ah!!! Edward Seo played by Seo In Guk as a guest sous chef was really funny! Ha-ha! Especially the whole kitchen crew's reactions to him.
Not to mention the "Today is D-Day" part. What a perfect scene and then to follow up with that lovely ending with the bikes. Overall this was the best way to end it. My warm and fuzzy fix was perfection. The way this wonderful drama has always been able to give it to me. Oh My Ghost will be a drama I go back to rewatch and will never get tired of. Actress Park Bo Young was amazing and I know I'll probably be drama stalking her.
