My Review:
I was trying to find something good to watch because I am in need of my fix for a K-Drama to watch. I accidentally saw this title on one of the comments below the post in one of my favourite K-drama review sites I frequently visit. This K-Drama wasn’t even mentioned yet on the main post. And, thank goodness I stumble upon this totally delightful K-Drama. It has been really such a long time that I have watched a K-Drama that made me truly laugh, cry, thrilled and totally involved in the story that I ended up watching it non-stop. I mean that literally, I only do bathroom and meal breaks because I can’t simply pause it. I have no idea if this K-Drama is popular in Korea when it was being aired but it’s certainly popular to me. My synopsis won’t do justice on how fun it is to watch this K-Drama. If you will be picky on certain areas especially the premise given on the rules of the spirits living among us in the K-drama, you will find definite flaws on its consistency. Also, of course, the never ending certain K-Drama cliche’s on some secenes. But, for me, who cares? It is totally engaging and made me remember why I love K-romcoms in the first place. If you will ask what is my only complaint on this drama, it is how Kang Sun-Woo was able to arrive on the decision of who to choose. Without revealing and spoiling it for you, that is probably my only grievance on the writers. They should have explore and expand more on this area because it gave a feel that the story is being rush towards the ending, but, then again it is only 16 episodes. Otherwise, it is truly one of the best interesting and funny romcoms I’ve ever seen for the last five years.
Would I recommend this K-Drama? Yes, watch it 101%. It will certainly be worth your while. It has no dragging moments, stirs up the romantic in you, and just make you laugh and be relieved of your stress. I don’t want to say much on the review for fear I will spoil it for you. This is the best example why when I review K-Dramas I put more importance on what the film makes me feel rather than its nitty-gritty technical aspects. I know a K-Drama is great even with its flaws because at the end of watching it, it just simply put a smile on my face. Even more so looking at the deliciousness of Jo Jung-Suk whom almost made me forget my love for Kwon Sang-woo, lol!!!
