Sol do Mestre

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.

She's a very accomplished actress and this series is enjoyable for the most part - just the obligatory K-drama daftness that gets a little irritating if it's done too often, e.g. long drawn out staring before a dramatic scene ends, half explanations - where a bit more info would avoid another unnecessary conflict etc. It's good fun though and well worth watching.

As a fan of Kong Hyo Jin, but a big scary cat who hates horror, I was fifty fifty whether to watch it or not. But, turned out that the horror stuff weren't difficult to handle. They were scary, sure, and well made and presented, with nice SGI, but they were brief as well and the story tended to leave them behind and move on with the main story. So, the plot was good, though I found it a bit slow. The love triangle was nice as well, but ended quickly and the drama focused on the main couple, who were really cute together. The small ghost cases, moreover, were interesting and saved the otherwise weak plot. The performances were good as well. Finally, the side stories were a bit annoying, and the final twist was predictable. So, 6.5 out of 10.

This is my first K drama and my my it's addicting so much so that this would surely not be my last! it's so much fun to watch and has lovable characters. horror/comedy/romance/suspense all rolled into one perfect drama. the lead, tae gong shil, sees dead people after her accident and only joo joong won makes the spirits go away. he is the usual imperious businessman but has a soft spot too! he has a mysterious past and it will uncover in about three episodes into it. I absolutely love the supporting characters and each episode brings a new mystery which makes watching it so worth it! anyone who loves this genre must watch this! i was unsure about watching it with subtitles but still it was all the same fun!

I always enjoy this concept of the living helping ghosts move on as it gives tv shows mystery and thrill wrapped in drama. I really loved Hotel Del Luna so I had high hopes for this. Sadly I am disappointed. I'm annoyed at all the high ratings, which seem to not really breakdown what makes this series good. These ratings gave me false expectations to this series,

1) The make up and hair is so poorly done that it's comical, Why does all the ghosts look like they had a whip cream smooshed on their faces? Hard to remain spooked when people are just covered in white powder. Also, hair seems to be perfect all the time, even when in dialogue one character would say otherwise.

2) special effects was laughable, this kept pulling me out of the story and just chuckling at the poorly stitched composition. I may be a bit harsh, but Hotel Del Luna and Kingdom does this much better to create the scary atmosphere.

3) the script is not very cohesively written as it never established why the main female character is so loveable. As well, the relationship seems to happen very suddenly without much time spent developing it. The main female made me feel very awkward a lot of the time with her almost childish-shy-flirting smiles-this combo is not very pleasant.

4) Many over used cliched plot points just to try and wrap up stories.

Overall, I only really enjoyed the subplots of ghost stories, but there wasn't much surprises nor twists. Mediocre 6/10.
