Great leads &Enjoyable with classic drama vibes
This really gives off classic /retro drama vibes in all the best ways. The smiles the leads share will cause you to unconsciously smile as well as it's stuffed with warm fuzzies & concludes with a happy ending.
It reminded me a bit of the dramas : The Master's sun & the 2011 Spellbound ,(but it's better than either. )
This is a very satisfying drama where the leads have each other's back; she saves him, he saves her. She fights off bad guy & so does he. It's refreshing to see a drama where the leads have team work! Also , some might find the male lead to be less attractive ("pretty') than the second male lead...but that is yet another mark in this drama's favor, as they give you a male lead who is so much more than just a face. This drama really gives off classic /retro drama vibes in all the best ways. 2 good leads (good characters) that are both likeable. I'm so happy that they let the male lead be good at things instead of just being a romantic sidekick. There are a good many nice kisses and the leads don't really "waffle" about in thier relationship -they are sure about what they want & willing to be a bit selfish which shows thier sincerity & commitment.
Ghosts are Not my fav genre , so it's ironic that I am going to complain that ghosts really don't show up much in 1/2 the episodes.
It did not get a perfect score from me because:
1) creepy ghost stuff
2) Female lead goes solo a few times when it makes no sense to leave the male lead out.
3) the last 1/2 of the last episode was disappointing as they concluded alot of plot issues, but lost momentum by not segueing right into a logical (traditional happy) ending. Instead ,they give us a time skip, side character's needlessly getting screen time & a rather bland & underwhelming (albeit sweet) ending for the leads.
Still, I'd watch it again
Final thoughts:
I don't like when characters make choices for other people without permission or consultation
It almost avoids the worst tropes but then at the last minute they throw in a "noble sacrifice" as well as "break up to make up" , " car accidents" &"Coma". They caught me off guard by clumping them all together!
There is some product placement near the end of the series
There is a bit of a Singapore travel pitch
That a guy is killed by a very small clay pot, was ridiculous.
the female lead's cousin is scary thin
Why didn't the one guy who got killed (& knew the female lead) go to her as a ghost as soon as he died!?
Too many songs in English
There was a push for the engagement & for them to get married, but apparently they put off or called off the wedding & a year after the story ends there is an epilogue and they STILL aren't' married
