Tigers!

This episode was definitely a builder. It helped to show how Wei Wie and Xiao Nai's online and offline relationships are merging. Not to mention that some of that ice that kind of froze them up when they first met is melting a bit.



Oh, and are they making Hao Mei gay? I think that's totally cool, so I'm thinking this isn't such a taboo thing for Chinese dramas? Huh, I'm very curious about this whole plot with the chef/cook. ^_-



Er Xi! I'm so nervous for what Cao Guang is going to do for his "revenge"! I love Er Xi so much. I know it will help get Cao Guang and her to a romantic place, but I don't want to see her suffer! >_<



I fun episode.

Poor Cao Guang, you're just a fleeting love obstacle for Wei Wei and Xiao Nai!

Poor Cao Guang, you're just a fleeting love obstacle for Wei Wei and Xiao Nai! But soon I hope that Er Xi and Cao Guang will be an item. Though I hope they don't drag out the mix-up too long.



I really loved seeing how Wei Wei, Si Si, and Xiao Ling all took care of Er Xi when she was ill. So cute when Si Si and Xiao Ling shared the bed!!



Not only womance, but also the fabulous bromance that is the brotherhood.



Overall a great episode. It's so cute how shy Wei Wei is and Xiao Nai is just as determined. Love how he shot down those internet polls! The chemistry is really great.



(Though I truly wonder do they do polls like that in schools and discriminate and condemn so much? Not to mention have star students that they stalk and gossip about? I've always wondered how real that whole concept is in dramas?)

Ahn Jae Hyeon compels me!!

I don't know when or what drama it happened, but apparently I've become obsessed with Ahn Jae Hyeon. I've seen every drama he's been in and I'm excited when he's cast and I started Cinderella and the Four Knights solely because he would be in it. Now despite my better judgment I am compelled to continue on!



Ahn Jae Hyeon compels me! He has somehow become my drama bias obsession! He's my Min Ho.



Despite the fact that I still don't really care for Hyun Min, and the snail paced character development hasn't really "transformed" him into a likeable guy.



Nor does it help that the writers and director are sloppy. This episode emphasizes it all the more. Because there are multiple flashbacks that happened not just from previous episodes already. BUT from just a few moments ago within the episode. This has actually happened in all of the episodes, but it was more present here. They just did a flashback, that then did a flashback for a recent scene, that just did another flashback to the first flashback. Seconds. Seconds to flashback a flashback we just watched.



Sloppy. Lazy. And stupid.



What happened to Ha Won's fighting skills? She took out the guys and was dancing with Ji Woon. Yes, they make her clumsy now and then. However, there is know way she couldn't have taken out those girls. Especially when they told her they were gonna cut of her close so they could inspect her purity. She should have embraced the inner fighter within and pummeled them. Sure she could have been shocked, but I don't by that she'd stay passive for long.



The show has felt like a list of check box for things that need to happen to follow it's predecessors. That why they can grab the cash and run. However, the very fact that the writer and director aren't even trying make me believe that this show won't be able to successfully feed off of the fan base it's counting on.



Yes. The time has come. I am giving up on this drama. Oh, the compulsion of Ahn Jae Hyeon is strong. (And to some degree actress Park So Dam. She's so cute! I've kind of fallen for her.) The plot holes, lack of the writers trying, slow motion scenes, horrible use of flashback, the shiny man lips (no really someone needs to tell the makeup team to back off the lip gloss), boring second female lead/love interest, the male leads all still being just basic stereotypes, and blatant product placement has killed any speck of interest I've had. Which leaves me in awe that I'm actually thinking about watching the next episode.



There's been some fun scenes. Scenes with Kang Hyun Min that I have loved. So unless the allure of Kang Hyun Min is so powerful that I can't resist him when the next episode hits my Inbox this is the end of the line for me. (Crap, if I watch more I know my obsession has entered unhealthy place.) ;_; I need to quit this drama, but I can't quit Ahn Jae Hyeon.

Read More

I do know I should quit. Alas there's one more episode uploaded.

Really I should quit. Alas, there's one more episode left and apparently I do like Ahn Jae Hyeon enough to just do it.



Personally the whole idea that because Ji Woon likes Hye Ji enough to "protect" her from Hyun Min. By romancing Ha Won away. And of course his rudeness is whooing her as is disguised by the occasional nice guy thing.



I could ramble on and on, but I won't.



Seo Woo's mom is so cute! I loved her and it would be so awesome if she would be in more of the show.



I am wondering does this mean she'll have to leave the house since she set the next mission up? Here's to episode 6 my last, probably, episode.

Talk about taking a crap on Cinderella!

They literally dumped crap on the Cinderella story. Though I don't blame them since Cinderella's message is to endure, but a good worker, and you'll eventually be rewarded. So points there!



Holy drama boys. When they were all jamming out in their expensive cars. No. Just no. (Well I guess it did provide a bountiful amount of laughs.



Ah, so basically they're all kind of jerks. Even the nice guy Ji Woon. (Don't care what anyone says.) Overall they're the stereotypes I expected.



I know Ahn Jae Hyeon--my beloved--is really good at playing this jerk @$$ roles, but this feels way over the top. At least he's rocking that lip gloss to all kinds of stunning camera shots.



Cinderella and the Four Knights is the predictable drama comfort food I expected. I do like Ha Won so far. I like that she knows when to stand up for herself or do the right thing, and when to be humble. I already feel for her, so that's a plus. Especially since there's already an over whelming abundance of jerky male leads and rudeness, an evil step mom plot (multiple levels), heir issues, corporate take over issues, product placement, and so on.

Very moving.

When I came back to this drama I needed something fun! Not to mention refreshing. Which this episode delivered! Especially with the riot team, AKA In Rang and Cheon Sang. Despite their bumbling ways Cheon Sang really pulled it off getting Seo Yeong to join the club.



I love the balance Bring it On Ghost strikes with the scariness of the ghost story and the humor of it's living characters. This story of domestic abuse definitely hit home. Especially with the parallels of how it connected to Bong Pal's past.



I loved that we got even more sneak peeks and hints of what happened. Yeah, I've got my theories, but the slow reveal is really great.



Overall the story may be simple, but the writing is excellent! The characters are very well realized. Bong Pal and Hyun Ji have wonderful chemistry. I think the actors are well suited to the roles.

Creeping is not romantic.

This is a totally random thought but Hae Young #1's teeth are so adorable!



Oh, so Soo Kyeong has been crossed in love. She loves him to death, as she drinks her liver into oblivian.



Okay, so it wasn't an incurable disease. No last word. I'm happy with that. So the reveal is Do Kyeong's own mother pretty much stalked and harrassed her. But I wonder what could be on the recording? Either way why wouldn't she confide in Do Kyeong? Now I really want to know why #2 left.

I also think it shows how ignorant #2 is that she can't imagine Do Kyeong would like #1. Also, how cold to completely know that men used #1 to get to her. Wow.



I really like how Soo Kyeong protects her brother. Though if everyone suspects that the mom chased her away and they don't like her stealing his money, why wouldn't they simply tell him?



See I hate the keeping secrets and lying stuff. I also do not find it endearing or romantic that he recorded everything without warning her, then broke his promise to not listen and delete it.



Honestly when the leap of faith bit happened I thought Do Kyeong was saying that he liked her? Why then is it pity that apparently making him soft towards her. Ugh. Oh, and I shouldn't have watched the previews! They make me really nervous for how things are going.



(I really enjoyed Hae Yeong #1's parents already assuming that Do Kyeong can't resist their daughter! See Hae Yeong already has people who know she's #1!)



Rating: 7 Very, good.

Leaps of faith and catching them.

Holy cow, I thought she was strangling him! Not kissing him! I LOVE Yoon Ahn Na! Especially the actress that is playing her. The energy and quirkiness of the character is too cute.



To be honest I had my doubts about Another Miss Oh. Because no matter what happens between Hae Yeong and Do Kyeong it will all be based on lies until he tells her the truth. Normally I don't care for this, especially when the male lead ruins the female leads life and others.



However, that beautiful leap of faith and the dialouge sold me at the end. Enough so that I want to see this drama to the end. (Ah, the fated decision time of the fourth episode.)



Not to mention that I really like the characters and cast. The side stories and characters are just as intriuguing--maybe a little more than--the leads.



Not to mention that I want to see Hae Yeong over come this silliness of the Pretty Hae Yeong. Because now that she's had time to become herself, I think she can over come it. Though it would suck to have your name called and know it's never for you. The papercut scene with the love letter broke my heart.

MDL deleted my original review when I hit edit, so here's a really rough one.

Um. Well MDL deleted my episode review. So I'm making this one short and simple.



Another Miss Oh is definitely finding it's legs. I love the real world feel of this drama. How the character react feels natural. Then it's all tempered by the outrageousness of the characters! Ha-ah.



One thing I will say is maybe I misjudged the parents. Maybe the forced her out to give her a wake up call.



The cinematography for this show and the music is amazing! I love the shots and the OST songs when they hit the right cord.



I feel for Hae Yeong. To be called dirt and the back story is hard. However, I want more-more-more from my Hae Yeong #1. It seems a bit early to have Hae Yeong #2 (AKA the pretty one) back already. Especially having her work in the same place as #1. (It's a drama of course that's how it's gonna go. Not to mention the previews confirm it.) I really want to see Hae Yeong #1 stand on her on even though #2 will probably put her in a bad place at work.



Not to mention that I like seeing more of the warmer side of Do Kyeong as we get to know him. He's very kind. His sister and brother are hilarious characters I really like! Especially the best friend, Ji Sang, trying to interpret his sister's drunken French.



Fighting!

It's very interesting!

Personally I'd blame the friend, who should really be taking responsibility for what happened. He kept pushing and badgering until he got what he wanted. Do I believe that someone could destroy another person life like that? Yes. Could they do it so easily? With the right connections, yes. (I have experienced rich people.) I just hope someone tells Oh Hae Yeong that he decided to break off the wedding because his business was going under and he was wrongfully imprisoned. Personally he didn't love her enough to think for her and to dump her like that. No. What I really want to know is if that is plausible enough in Korean culture to actually happen?



That said it bothers me that Hae Yeong obviously spends a pretty good amount of time being drunk. She doesn't want to move on, phew dodged that bullet, or anything. Heck, get angry and move on. Instead she embraces pathetic-ness and wants to die. While I loved her solo tango dance of pain and stress relief, her dance with ongoing vehicles got old fast.



Props to her mom for joining in the dance. However, what was with them kicking her out? As parents shouldn't they know something is up. Or was it because she was basically an alcoholic? But her mom seemed more worried about how the neighbors and gossipers saw them. Accidents are apparently not supposed to happen! I really thought the silent dad's look was to tell his wife she was just as crazy and out of control, and he wouldn't kick is daughter out. Clearly he didn't want her to go.



Do Kyeong clearly is feeling remorseful. At least he's trying to do something, but you know . . . apparently since I saw the first episode Lee Jae Yoon has been bumped to a main role with his character Tae Jin! Yeah! But from what I can see of his character he won't be the one, and . . . well I already don't like his actions if you can't tell. Man does he look great on screen though.



Ugh. That ending. So the place she moves into had a door to the next room, that she just happens to break though. Oh, and guess who the neighbor is. =_= It's just a little too much. I know those type of tropes and random stupid plot lines are used everywhere. It was just too much. Really. They couldn't stop at them being neighbors. No. There had to be a secret door. Not to mention the visions . . .

Don't miss the epilogue that's after the previews guys!

Hey, guys! There's an epilogue after the previews! It's really hilarious and I'm hoping this is something they will start doing from here on. >_< It's just too funny not to.



What I really like about ghost Hyun Ji is that she is so physical! She can fight with Bong Pal, and is actually the better fighter! Strangely enough I haven't found her annoying even though she can be totally over the top. She's not as over the top as some female drama leads of seen, and I actually find her really adorable. Besides that she is actually helping Bong Pal out.



Clearly Hye Sung is the villain. I'm wondering if those possessed by evil spirits are marked then? After that shirtless/changing scene? Please-please-please dear writer let him take good care of those animals. Don't make me see another villain hurt cute fluffy animals. ;_;



The music for his show is so fun! The sound affects have really grown on me and they're done well enough that I think it fits the mood of the show really well. As long as there is no rooster crowing noises, I'll be Okay. (Curse you Shut Up Family.)



In Rang and Chun Sang are such a hilarious duo together. That little epilogue where Myung Chul was added to the mix was even more hilarious! I honestly hope the three of them will be acting together more. Not to mention that I LOVE Kyung Ja! The way she haunts those guys, I bet if they knew they would curse there good looks. Kyung Ja and Hyun Ji's friendship. I like how alive (ha-ha) the ghost community is here. Something I enjoyed about Oh My Ghost. I'm really hoping we'll get to see the bad ghosts and the good ones more. Especially the good.



Overall this is fun! Nothing strikingly new, but fun. I really like the energy of Bring It On, Ghost. Not to mention the cast. Sure it's not a showcase of brilliant acting, but I think it suits the actors really well and they're doing a great job. I'm looking forward to Hyun Ji and Bong Pal developing feelings for each other. More importantly I'm very curious to find out what happened to Hyun Ji and how she died. I just really hope that Hye Sung is not part of it. It worked out really good for Oh My Ghost to have the villain up front and center. I just think Hye Sung should be separate from the cause of Hyun Ji's death.



Well we'll see! (Rating: 7 Very, good.)

I was so afraid to continue on to this episode!

No, really! I was afraid to continue on after the last episode. Just look at the date of my episode 12 review and this one! Ha-ha. However, this episode was perfect.



Yes, some of the plot holes are still there.



But I couldn't have asked for a better follow up after last episodes bombshell. Bong Seon was so brave and finally told Seon Woo the truth. Which is rare in a drama. Normally when something like this happens no one tells anyone anything!



Both characters reactions were so real and I appreciated it. Especially as we get to see that Seon Woo knew when it was Bong Seon and when it was Sun Ae. Not to mention that he realized that on some level he had already been falling for her. Or at least caring for Bong Seon before she became possessed. In his search to find out how he feels and eventually his search to find Bong Seon again he becomes closer to Bong Seon. They really are two peas in a pod. Different enough, but the same in the things that bring them together.



The other restaurant employees are so fun here! I've loved every minute with them. From they're stupid and annoying antics. Seo Jun really shines here. I've always loved his character and love how he wants Seong Woo and Bong Seon to be together. Because he likes them both and wants both of them to be happy. No pulling an odd love triangle. ^_-



Also, we get to meet Bong Seon's Shaman grandmother. While we don't brush on why Bong Seon can't control her gift like her grandmother, or figure things out. We get a look into Bong Seon. Even if it was brief.



The mystery of waht happened with Eun Hee and her accident is getting closer! More importantly Sun Ae's death. I've loved the pacing of the mystery and how everything has fit so well together. Seong Jae makes such a convincing evil spirit. I'm really looking forward to watching not only him be bad, but Bong Seon and Seon Woo be a couple with everything out there.



Yeah! For the truth! For me this episode was everything I didn't even dare hope for.
