Wonderful Ghost or Soul-mate, was entertaining. It wasn't as much of a comedy as it was quite dramatic and kind of sad. The story was predictable, as well as the twists, to the point where you're going to keep saying to the main character "please, don't!" knowing very well what is going to happen next. However, the performances were really good, especially from the two leads, and the story was enjoyable, although leaned towards the melodrama side rather the comedy side. So, seven out of ten.

Recently, it is hard to find a good story with normal characters who are not crazy about some "modern trends" or "political issues". All these films like Jojo Rabbit, The Intern etc which are made not for a good story but just to be "trendy". I watch such films and can see how great these stories could be if the authors would not want to "teach" me their "point of view". Possibly, I am just grumbling because I am too outdated for all this sh...showcase.

For some reason other reviewers called this film boring but I really liked it. When I watched it I remembered "Ghost" (1990) or other great stories about really important things of our life. Some years ago Hollywood could create such stories. Nowadays I see less and less of such films. Thanks Chinese and Koreans that they still consider to make smth "classical".

Do not be fooled by the title or the genre, this is not a horror movie

You can enjoy a different kind of portrayal of the lead characters and there is no annoying romance angle which throws off the audience. The movie is always engaging and is a visual treat for Don Lee fans

There are some scenes which make you feel like watching "A Korean Odyssey". Yet, the movie is overall fresh and involves the satisfaction of many fantasises when a normal person would be in desperate situations

Do not worry about the Don Lee's character, he is not a police or a thug mindlessly beating up people for his fans. He slips and falls, even does not fight for a long time and needs a lot of help. This includes very funny scenes that you could have already seen in YouTube

There are melodramatic twists in the end just like many Korean movies, but this will be a relief rather than a burn. The character growth is non-linear and satisfying. The movie might drag on for those not used to drama.

This movie was a waste of time, the story line and the acting were boring and anybody can easily predict the events

The story was just okay. You probably could guess it 60% right or even more. Watched this for Ma Dong-seok. He is so fun ;D
