Mixed Feelings

To be honest, I’m totally torn on this drama. I keep bouncing between liking it and being completely meh about it. The first two episodes started out super strong, but after that, the pacing just feels stuck. They drag out subplots that barely have anything to do with the main storyline. Plus, there are way too many conflicts thrown in at once—it gets chaotic, and none of them really connect or pay off. The transitions feel super rushed, and the continuity issues keep breaking my immersion, which makes me check out from time to time.
Given the title, I expected it to hit harder, but it’s neither genuinely creepy nor deeply romantic. Both elements feel kinda weak and half-baked. When I saw we were getting an ML who’s a prosecutor and an FL who sees ghosts, I was hyped for a solid detective-duo dynamic full of exciting adventures... but it really fell flat. A ghost pops up, tells them where they died, they go fetch the body, and that’s literally it...
Visually, the leads have crazy good chemistry, so I was really excited for this pairing. But the FL feels way too passive for someone living with ghosts. She’s almost completely expressionless and flat. I really wished the writers had made her more dynamic and lively.
As for their relationship, it feels way more like a solid friendship than actual romance. Zero passion so far—definitely no butterflies in my stomach yet.
That being said, most of the episodes have still been pretty fun to watch, so it’s definitely not a drop for me. I’m sticking with it till the end!
