This review may contain spoilers
It's been several months since I've fully watched a Korean drama. I dropped so many that I decided to take a break and come back. The reason: too many ad nauseam romance dramas.
I did like this drama though. I like supernatural dramas if they're done right. It's hard portraying ghosts because of the amount of special effects that have to be used to achieve the desired effect.
I liked how they made the MML become possessed whenever emotions from his ghost clients ran high. The way you could tell was by the change in the color of his cheeks. He portrayed every ghost client differently from the way he would act which made it even better to watch. I most definitely loved when he had to deal with female ghosts. The dancer/singer ghost was hilarious!
I even got choked up on two episodes because those two hit home for me.
I liked how the episodes weren't drawn out. Usually Kdramas will have one subject and will focus on that throughout the entire series. This one, most scenarios lasted for two episodes. One subject only lasted for one and the last three focused on the MML's dad.
Now to the cast: I couldn't put a finger on where I saw the MML and had to go and check and realized he was the main character in a drama that I dropped: When The Phone Rings...
Still bitter about that one.
He was completely different in this drama. I liked how he had grown attached to his clients. They all connected in a way that even left me wanting for them to stick around.
The MFL was OK. I liked her in Taxi Driver. She got on my nerves at first but she grew on me.
I absolutely loved three supporting characters: the mom. the brother-in-law, and the priest. They brought a chemistry that kept me drawn to this drama.
There were some eye rolls I have to address though. The premise of how the MML was able to see ghosts by just inhaling some incense. Really??
The one episode where they made it seem like he wasn't able to see ghosts truly fell flat. That was the worst episode for me.
The fact that they heavily focused on the shaman only to show him for a split second close to the end of the drama and just left it dangling with no type of closure and how they dealt with the MML getting shot and being able to fully recover within the next few seconds almost had me in a tourettes moment.
I was happy about the last episode until they had to turn it into a romance moment. I so hate when they do that!!! When that happens it loses its luster for me but in the end I loved how the last episode was done before the waste of anything romance related.
