No, I just started ep. 18. Now Woo Hyun was not really a bad guy. It's seriously annoying how they need to nominate everyone for sainthood. Bah humbug....

It was alright, not enough for me to give it an 8, but enough to keep the 7. I just couldn't overlook all the times I got bored with it. I had to watch some of the episodes twice because I'd get knocked out, no matter what time of the day it was.

It would have been more fun if they would have just kept Woo Hyun a bit of a patsy in the Phantom's plans. Which I found a bit odd because SJS certainly doesn't shy away from playing the bad guy...So why as you say, did they have to "saint up" his character?

Yes, it would have been. Maybe not fully baddie, more like a grey area kind of character. I like grey area characters when it comes to "good" and "bad"...lol

Totally. That is what made Kang To so awesome in Gaksital.

I agree. You don't know whether to huggle them or smack them over the head.

I really did like Ghost a lot. It did bore me a little in the middle but I talked about all that in my review. But you touched on one of the things I did wish they'd done differently. The moment at the beginning when Woo Hyun and Ki Young are in the warehouse... And here we are discovering that who we thought was good was bad and visa versa. Woo Hyun went there with a gun to do away with his friend then had a crisis of conscience and knows he's been involved in something bad. I liked that he wanted to somehow make it right. I wish they would have just followed that line. Although, it did fit with the slimy character of Hyun Min (Phantom) to set up the real Woo Hyun to get him under his thumb. By comparison there certainly are better written 'grey' characters in kdramaland.

it happened me too. because some scenes unnecesarrly long. sometimes there is no action just people keep staring each other with empty or bewildered face. also there are so many flashback scenes. they probably thought that viewers had amnesia XD
