Joogoonui Taeyang

This is a fun k-drama penned by the Hong Sisters. For those who aren't familiar with their work, they're a pair of Korean television screen writers known for their quirky romantic comedies/adventure dramas. While yes many Korean Drama tropes appear in their work, the two seem to relish playing with conventions, and have fun with tropes rather than relying on them.

This is basically a Korean re-imagining of The 6th sense. Much like their wonderful re-imagining of the American film Overboard (entitled Fantasy Couple/or sometimes Couple or Trouble) - they take the basic premise and change everything making something nicely familiar but wholly new and surprising. This is no exception.

It's fun, sweet, and often extremely funny. In addition to the smart writing, the direction is top notch and the amazing cast constantly deliver. Highly recommend this one - and if ya like it, look up the Hong Sisters and seek out their work, all of it is great (except for their one misstep, the painfully bad remake of Big)

This is a ridiculous screwball romantic comedy / horror / thriller that is lots of fun to watch. The hero is self-important pompous son of a Pancho who never lets anyone get close to him or touch him. He has strong disbelief in anything supernatural. Our heroine is a down on her luck girl who has the misfortune of being a veritable ghost magnet who discovers that our hero is just what the doctor ordered for her condition and nothing he can do will shake her off. The characters are all adorable, the special effects are obviously done on a budget so I recommend you hold your breath for Hollywood effects and just sit back and enjoy the ride. Even the characters at the beginning of the series that you don't like much, you find things to love about nearly all of them as the story progresses. This is absolutely one of my top 10 favorite k-drama TV series (yes, with subtitles). I highly recommend it for anyone who likes screwball comedy and doesn't mind subtitles.

I've had a hard time getting into Korean TV dramas, mostly due to the sappy romanticism and general melodrama. Master's Sun was the first member of the genre that I've actually liked, as it brings both a fun supernatural angle and a lot of humour to the proceedings.

Central to the series's appeal is Hyo-Jin Kong as the heroine, Tae Gong Sil. Not only is Gong-Sil endearing in her weirdness, but she actually has a pretty impressive character arc over the course of the series, going from an outcast who can barely handle everyday life to a confident woman that can stand on her own. While her relationship to a rich CEO is a part of this growth, the series also acknowledges her need for independence, which is nice considering that the romance genre (on both sides of the Pacific) generally encourages a very unhealthy codependence. The other characters are all endearing in their own way, especially the ghosts, who are both visually striking and straddle the difficult line between scary and funny.

Master's Sun is still very much of its genre, containing within it evil twins, amnesia, tragic misunderstandings, questionable gender politics, kisses shot from five different angles, and the same K-Pop songs in every episode. At 64 minutes a pop, the episodes drag on too long for what is ultimately a fairly lightweight narrative. But even the soapier elements are executed better than one would have any right to expect. Even with my limited knowledge of K-Dramas, I can say that this isn't the best one out there, but judging from my experience it just might be a good gateway drug.

This drama is incredible one of the best Korean series drama ever. I had so fun watching the whole episodes. I loved how they combine (romance, comedy, horror) scenes in one series. Absolutely recommended.

This drama is definitely a must watch !!

It's not horror at all don't worry !! It only starts off like that ... definitely one of my favorite dramas !
