NON-SPOILERY REVIEW: This kdrama really took an interesting path. At first, I thought it would just be the typical fun romantic-comedy type. I did not think it was going to go down a twisted and dark road. There were plot twists that were really shocking, disturbing, and heartbreaking. The romance was indeed fun but there were bittersweet moments. There were some scenes that felt unnecessary for me especially in the beginning and some scenes that was rushed. The main plot took a kind of slow pacing and most of the climax had to be fit near the end of the Kdrama. However, the cast was really fun to watch. The lead actresses were able to portray their role well. They would break your heart but they would also make you happy. It was very entertaining. Overall, I would recommend others to watch it because it is rather fun and worth the watch.
The Blogger Mom in the first episode was really infuriating. She scolded Bong sun even though it was his son who was at fault. She even insulted Eun-hee.
I feel bad for Bong-sun at first. She got scolded. Lost her home. And was even possessed by a ghost. How unlucky can you get?
I love seeing Kim Seul-gie as Soon-ae. I loved her back in Flower Boy Next Door even though she was just a minor character. I love how she played Soon-ae. It was fun and hilarious. It was sad though that Soon-ae had to wander the earth as a ghost with amnesia. She didn't even know how to move on to the afterlife because of it.
Park Bo Young acting as Soon ae was really funny to watch. Especially when she lusts after the male characters. She's an amazing actress who could switch from the silent, timid Bong-sun to the loud Soon ae. She broke my heart during some scenes.
I love that Soon-ae got stuck as the assistant to Sun-woo. It was amazing when she remembered that she used to cook and that's why she was able to cope up easily.
It was heartbreaking to see Soon-ae remember some of her past - especially when she remembered her family. She wanted to stay by them but couldn't because she was inside Bong-sun's body. They wouldn't be able to recognize her. It was also heartbreaking when she saw that the restaurant didn't look as it did when she was alive. You could see that her father was really devastated by her death especially since they thought she committed suicide.
Sun-woo was such a nice character. Sure he was arrogant outside but deep inside he was kind. He just protected himself with his jerkiness. I love how he cared for Bong-sun because she was just like him in the past. I love how he became super protective of Bong-sun and took care of her all the time.
It's cute to see that Soon-ae had a crush on Sung-jae way before she possessed Bong-sun. It's devastating though when she found out he was now married to Eun-hee and that he was the one who killed her.
Seeing Kang Ki-Young here was funny because I just watched him in Weightlifting Fairy. Sure he was a jerk at times but his character is still funny.
It's funny every time Soon-ae hides from the Medium especially since Sun-woo's mother keeps on hanging out with her.
The bond between the employees and Sun-woo was fun to see especially when they made up and became closer.
Every time Soon-ae tries to seduce Sun-woo was funny.
Sung-jae's character was too perfect at first. I did not think that he was really that perfect and I found him quite suspicious. Things started to go wrong when the Medium started to give hints that something was wrong with him and when he left Soon-ae's dad who had collapsed.
I was devastated for Bong-sun when she woke up weeks later and realized Soon-ae possessed her for that long. She didn't know what had happened during those days and she was scared.
It was funny when they thought Bong-sun had bipolar disorder from the way she was acting. Sun-woo even took care of her because he thinks it's his fault.
Soon-ae/Bong-sun was really cute with Sun-woo. However, it gets confusing because you don't really know at first which of the Bong-sun's he really likes. It was a bittersweet moment when Soon-ae realized she really loved and cared for Sun-woo but Sun-woo cannot see her physically. It's devastating to know that she died young and never got to experience her own love story and had to live it through Bong-sun.
It was scary when Soon-ae almost turned into a malevolent ghost. It was sad because she still doesn't know how she'll be able to move on before she became a malevolent ghost. I'm glad that the medium let her go. She cared for Soon-ae enough to let her resolve her grudge on her own an hope that she wouldn't become a malevolent ghost.
I love it when Soon-ae and Bong-sun finally made an arrangement and Soon-ae updated Bong-sun of what had happened during the times she was possessed. It would have been nice if they got to bond more. I love that Soon-ae grew to take care of Bong-sun that the moment she hurt Bong-sun was the moment she decided to back off. I'm glad that Soon-ae was able to help Bong-sun break out of her shell and became more open on interacting with others. With her help, Bong-sun was able to live her life well.
I love it when So-hyung and Soon-ae were fighting on who would get to see Sun-woo during the night and Soon-ae won.
I felt bad for Officer Hwang. He died because just he wanted to help his friend who didn't know was a psycho.
Sung-jae's backstory was a real tragic one. Getting neglected and beaten up is a bad thing to experience while growing up and because of this he attracted a malevolent spirit who took residence in his body and began to manifest in his daily life.
I am still confused about Eun-hee and Sung-jae's relationship. Sure, Eun-hee really cared for him but what was Sung-jae's motive for helping Eun-hee? Was he genuinely guilty for having caused her paralysis or is it something more? He seemed to genuinely care for her in the end but it was still confusing since we don't know which part of Sung-jae was true. Was it his sweet side? The sadistic side? Or was it just done by the malevolent ghost? It's rather shocking to see him alive in the end even though he had amnesia.
It was a heartbreaking scene before Soon-ae moved on to the afterlife when Sun-woo thanked her and told her sorry that her knowing about Eun-hee's accident was the reason for her death. I was glad that Bong-sun told Sun-woo the truth about Soon-ae and she didn't move on without him acknowledging her. I'm glad that even though they didn't really end up together, Sun-woo knew how she felt.
I was cringing at the scene where Bong-sun told Sung-jae about Soon-ae's diary since we knew that Sung-jae killed her. It was devastating when Soon-ae remembered why and how she died. How she witnessed Eun-hee's hit and run and decided to tell the very officer who caused the accident. He killed her and made it look like a suicide.
I'm glad that Bong-sun told Sun-woo about Soon-ae. I'm glad that her character was honest and she didn't want to end up with Sun-woo if Sun-woo really fell in love with the Soon-ae inside her. I'm glad that they were able to reconcile even though it was somewhat rushed and they were adorable together. They were able to mend their relationship and take things to a new level.
I love how Soon-ae was able to take care of her family through Bong-sun and her family doing the same thing to Bong-sun. I'm glad that her father had a surrogate daughter to take care of.
I felt really bad for Daddy Soon-ae. It broke his heart that he missed a call from Bong-sun during the night she died. It broke him to find out that the very person who he was taking care of for three years was the one who killed his daughter. I'm glad that Soon-ae was able to save him and he was able to see her again.
Soon-ae being sent off was a very heartbreaking scene and something that she really deserved. She wouldn't have deserved to be a malevolent spirit because the reason why she died was honest and pure. I'm glad that she was able to move on satisfied to the afterlife.
The bond between Soon-ae and the Medium made me really happy. Even though at first she was a problem to the Medium, they were able to develop their relationship and the Medium grew to care for her. She could sense that Soon-ae was a good ghost and wanted to help her not to become a malevolent spirit. I love her support to Soon-ae in the end and her worry when Soon-ae wouldn't move after she realized her love for Sun-woo.
The ending made me happy. Even though the trope of going abroad was overused, it was a good thing for Bong-sun because she was able to develop more her skills and characteristics during the time she was separated from Sun-woo. She was able to expand her knowledge.
I was really shocked by Seo In Geuk's cameo! He was so cute.
Stalker the dog having a family was really wonderful and cute to see.
