Good on ya mate

I binge watched the whole thing in one day

Its been a minute since I met wrtiters that get it right from the begining to the end and i will say this Oh my ghost's writers did an amazing job writting captivating dialogues.WHat was funny was funny,what was serious was serious and everything in between.I will admit that I normally skip fantasy/spritual tropes but i dont know how i pressed play on this one,Maybe Its because am going back in times with dramas pre-2020 when directors and producers were giving us well thought off scripts or maybe Park bo young brought me here from "Tomorrow with you" She is slowly becoming one of my favorites actresses.
but the stars of the show were Chef Kang Sun-woo's restaurant staff namely ,Seo joon/Cordon,Heo Min Soo,Choi Ji Woong and JO Dong Cheol.These guys carried the whole show on their backs, the brotherhood,the bromance and the family connection were out of this world.I have never seen such a team of individals in a drama that will go to the end of the earth for their leader.
The Kitchen scenes were so real that you wanted to vidit the restaurant and hear them say "Fire" or "yes chef" they brought the comedy,the wittiness,they brought the craze and anything in between.
I will not spoil the story by talking about the ghost part so please watch it and you will not regret it.

The only way to answer stupid question

I will check it out.THanks

I watched K2 in 2024,for am in a mission to watch every Ji CHang Wook drama,am not even being paid to do so but the man is just mad talented that you wished he was on your screen everyday.uSING THE PLATFORM THAT HAS TIMED COMMENTS,MANY VIEWERS expressed the need to pair him with the lady villain,and i saw why they all felt like that..Arent we lla tired of weak Female leads and K2 gave us the supreme leader of them all..Every now and then i wanted to reach inside my screen and say come on Ann, SPeak up or do this,but she was just following a script and the writers reall did hr dirty.But if you look from a human point of view or a reality angle,two strong characters often crashes whenever they are paired together and this would have been the Case if there was a romance between K2 and ms Villain but for sure it would have mmade the drama more intensse adding the love triangle of Ms glasses a.k.a Secretary Kim.So they decided to give K2 a soft love interest that needed saving otherwise where would he have found the need to use and re-use the action scennes that honestly unless you are an action fan,they just became unreal as they progress.
As of 2024 JCW has done a number of action dramas and movies nad they are actually good..He is just that actor that pours his heart and soul into the character no matter the requirements of the scripts

You are right, some are babies in adult clothes

this geeneration just want bang bang bang meet,hook up and boom end credits

18+ time for some mature storyline.If you are 18 and less please dont come here to complain about the pacing and the topic.
There are other dramas currently airing that fit the microwave content you are looking for

yes.sometimes i listen to comments,sometimes i dont..I watched and its really nkt a waste of time

I love Sung Hoon since Oh My Venus and Perfect marriage revenge so whatever I say will be biased but for the sake of it,here we go.
I have gone back in time to watch old dramas,going back to 2014 when directors really took their job serious,the actors who are now
our the current oppas were still doing some serious actingand the writers were not misserable.My secret romance is from that Era.
Its fluffy,and the story is light,I think I was coming from watch a heavy plot,so i needed to relax.
The story is not original,normal 2nd generation Chaebol falls in love with a regular girl, from this you already know whats coming next.
The only difference was the fact that they started their relation backward.From a one night stand to love.It normally take 12 episodes
for the leads to hold hands but they went straight to it and this made viewers excpect thingsto be tough ahead but honestly the time jump
made the whole thing go smoothly.Its a piece you enjoy on a lazy saturday afternoon,its short with 14 episodes so with the right environment
you might finish it in one sitting.The only negative thing is the overuse of flashbacks but i think i have seen worse

what is your standard of handsome? not every drama has to have a ML that is pretty boy,this role required someone strong with manly feature and to be honest if Chen XIngXu is not handsome,i dont know what you think of the other chinese actors,I guess beauty is relative..

I know about it but historicals asre not my cup of tea,I want to watch My boss though .THank yo for the recommandation

Thank you

Where are y'all watching this with subtitles please

where are you watching it from,I can't seem to find any platform with subs

Very well detailed review.I agree with most of your analysis but I think people who create noona romance plot should be minfull of the number they give the ML.I have no issue with age gap tropes but sometimes i wonder how is the brain of a 20 yrar old male going to be like..when the front lobe has not even developped completely.I have watched a good number of this trope and they all seem to have the same childish behaviors except "SOmething in the rain" the ML there was mature and grounded.I think 24 for ML and 30 onward for a FL is ok..but 20 the person is literally out of highschool.I wish they gave us more episodes after the time skip.
On the "sexual assault" part i dont think that is what it was,if you have watched enough asian dram this type of "forced" kissses is very rampant and they dont find it to be a problem,we the outsiders are the ones who get taken back by it.Or the way the ML would follow the ML in a stalkish manner,in the west it would be considered a police case but in the drama because it supposed to be a potential lover chasing after her,it is acceptable..I would be uncomfortable personally and scared but this is a different culture all together,THey also dont understand how in the west strangers have sex in the irst meeting

As an avid watcher of asian dramas,I always give each Major industry namely K-drama,C-drama,J-drama and TW-dramas alternate timing,for every K-drama.I watch a C-drama or a J-drama but I admit that I rarely find a good Taiwanese one and whenever that happens it becomes a priority and I keep my fingers crossed that it is well done.And to be honest Taiwan has good productions and superb scren writers who develop a story that keeps you glued on the screen.And just like japanese they make is short and Sweet.Taiwan pushes the envelop especially with subjects that China mainland avoids oe sensors so its a thin line.

My dear boy is not just like any other noona drama(older FL-younger Ml)Its a story about a woman and everything that connected to her.Her life,her family,her career,her love life and her growth.Every character in the drama is connected to her directly or indirectly.One of her storythat take center stage is her heartbreak and betrayal from someone who mentored her in her career,being hurt by someone you look up to will give you 20 episodes of a very detailed journey of ups and downs as an intern in a commercial film industry to being a famous director who is respected by her peers.I was thinking how hard is it to shoot a film crew inside a drama..its like having two productions in one.But the FL Ruby Lin is also a director in real life so am sure she had a huge in put in the process.I would like to give a big up to the screen writer of this drama,She really outdid herself.She covererd every big or small storyline and nothing was left hanging or undeveloped.The characters were well put together and intertwined somehow and the actors did a good job in portraying whatever role they were given.As usual there was the asian mother,who tend to be the show runner in every drama, sometimes i wonder what would happen to a project without a crazy,psycho and manipulator mother from eith side.Either way this seems to be the fuel of asian dramas and i dont think we will avoid this part any time soon.

The ML,what can I say,it is always a good day when one discover a new talent and I found Derek Chang,I added him to the list of my favorite TW actors withWallace Huo and Jusper Liu.He took his role to heart and brought in all the emotions that are needed to chase after an older FL, I dont think i have seen any other character go to this level,maybe He Yu as Lu Zhechang in "My fated boy" His character was well developed and his growth was visible,and for the first timein Noona romance,the ML gave up at a certain point,knowing that he is going to need more than just a cute face and an innocence to be with a mature woman.The woman who he met by accident when they were both going throught heir disastrous love lives and ended up becoming his life teacher and his colleague.Everyone was against them and them taking a step back was heartbreaking and shocking to the viewers but later on i understood that he needed this in order tohave something to bring to the table..And when he did 5 years later,It was really good to see him accomplished and ready to parsue the FL,hoping that fate is inhis side..hoping she is still single..Finding her was going to be another mountain to climb,especially after the twist the writer gave us before the separation.

What i didnt like in this drama was the amount of flashbacks,OMG I understand its part of the story,but it almost felt like a time travel trope,so if you are extremely allergic to flashbacks be warned that there will be many.Overall this was a good watch,the quality was top,the visuals, the set, the production, the OST and the writting were all well executed.As an ID, I would give extrapoints to the production and set designers,they did a stellar job,especially for the FL's industrial loft..I would live there in a heart beat.This drama felt almost like a slice of life with normal problems for everyday people trying to get from point A to B.The writers took their time and i belive they had good time writing.

This could have been just like any other noona romance but it was not.It solery focused of business
and then the romance came in after.
If you are not a patient person,I wouldnt recommend this drama but unffortunetly you would miss out
on a very good project that was excuted with care and high intelligence from both actors and writers.
Its a slow burn,they spend most of the time really conducting business and somehow you find yourself
sacked in the boardroom with them,watching the bad guys skimming and loosing which gives you a silent
satisfaction.
The FL is the main character,she is carrer driven,goal setter,with an ability not to crack under intense pressure
in an industry that is designed to give one high blood pressure.But she navigates the corridors of power with
ease,a fake sime and a problem solving attitude.
She gets paired up with a young ML who by "accident" finds himself thrown into the battle ground and early
on he understands that he has to protect the FL from the wolves who have nothing in mind but to kick her out.
When she gets demoted,he follows her and stick with her till the end of his term.Did I mention he also falls in
love with her and they have to fight another battle outside the office beacause of their age difference..and win
her mother who from my opinion stood between a thin line of weird and psychopath.I have seen share amount of
mothers in asian dramas but this one took the trophy,the only difference is that she would get a quicker redemption.

This is one of thosse drams you watch slowly,with your own pace. but I commend the directors and writers for giving us
a solid show.ther ewas no dragged story line.And it was an educational piece on the world of business and environment.

Also Hallo Dylan Wnag..I trust him with any role,He will deliver and give you more than you bargained for,I call him the male
version of Zhao Lusi.I lowkey wish his potential chemistry was reciprocated but acting with someone 20 years older
than you in real life,creates some sot of invisible boundaries.But he is acting was kiss chef that this lack of chemistry
was not visible.

For me he was the star in the Moon Embracing the sun,he migt have been the bodyguard to King Lee Hwoon but their bromance carried the show.
I didnt even notice he was the 2ML In On our wedding day the movie with Km Young Kwang.I dont know why his passing feels like my heart breaks
everytime i seen an edit or a post on social media..There no words to discribe how unnessary death is and especially death of a healthy and young
person.And not knowing who to direct anger to is even worse but I think maybe we should all boycott Korean film industry and specifically agencies
until they treat their stars right.There is too much silence on this and people keep leaving us prematurely.
Go home well Song Jae Rim..I wish you held on a little bit,who knows maybe the sun was about to rise.
