Top marks for acting. Our 3 leads are seldom seen on the small screen as the actor is usually in a musical and actress PBY mostly in movies. Fantastic chemistry too.
Park Bo Young stars as Na Bong Su- a timid girl living in a shell due to her ability to see ghost. Complication and comedy ensues after a ghost inhabit her body and her character undergoes complete changes. And the ghost antics in trying to seduce Chef, owner of the restaurant that Bong Su works as a trainee..
The kiss scenes were good too. I hav to be honest as a romance drama addict, pretend and lukewarm kisses are an eyesore to watch. Too man Korean y dramas have poorly acted kiss scenes with hands lying limp at their sides and awkward head angle. Thank goodness none in Oh my ghost. Their scenes are comedic, romantic and sweet.
I wish Park Bo Young will accept some more dramas to star in. She's a natural actress and very easy on the eyes

I cried at the last episode. it was so beautiful and the end was very much satisfying! This drama is the definition of CUTE. The acting was perfect. Nothing to say about that! And the OST was great! especially Bens (?) - stay. Such a beautiful song.
I would recommend this drama. The beginning can be dragging but it gets so much better! Really! <3

Story: The story was full of mystery and suspense and love and emotions and loads of cuteness! I loved every moment of it! The romance played out so well! But more about that later. The mystery of Soon Ae's death and creepy officer Choi was so good! There were scenes during which I actually got goosebumps! The drama played the supernatural element really well and it blended with everything else. From start to finish this drama was perfectly constructed, with great consistency. Despite the ending being a typical drama ending, it was done right for a change. It left me satisfied and even though I miss these characters, I'm very happy with how the drama ended.
Actors/Characters: I loved the cast! Such talented actors, all of them! And deep, well-written characters. Na Bong Sun was my favorite character! She was so adorable! And I saw so much of myself in her! I connected with her a lot and most of the time I just wanted to give her a huge hug! Park Bo Young did a mind blowing job, playing Na Bong Sun and Shin Soon Ae. You could differentiate between the two girls with only her demeanor. She was so good with both characters, both of which are complete opposites. This girl deserves an award!
Is it just me or does Jo Jung Suk has a Gong Yoo vibe? He's just as gorgeous and just as amazing an actor. I mean everyone in this drama is an amazing actor! And Jo Jung Suk wasn't any different. I loved Kang Seon Woo! He was somewhere between a bad boy and good guy. He was sweet and adorable and had depth as a character. Loved him!
I love Kim Seul Gi! I love the quirky character she plays so well! And she was perfect as Shin Soon Ae. She made me laugh, she made me cry. It was just so much fun to watch her onscreen. Her performance was really great!
Onto my second favorite character, Choi Sung Jae. Hey, don't look at me like that! I have a thing for psycho characters :P But honestly though, how amazing was Im Joo Hwan's acting? Makes me want to check out more of his dramas. One second he is the nicest person you have ever seen and the next he has this sinister, murderous glint in his eyes and the look on his face will haunt your nightmares. No but seriously, I loved is character! I felt sorry for him but he was also so scary! A very interesting character.
Yaay for ahjumma friendships! I seriously loved Seobingo and Seon Woo's mother! They reminded me of the only thing I loved in The Heirs (other than the Chan Young/Bo Na couple). They were so adorable and funny, together and separately. So were all the people who worked in Seon Woo's restaurant. They were such a goofy, endearing group! I also loved Seon Woo's sister and her story was heartbreaking! I loved how pure and innocent she was.
Romance: Na Bong Sun and Kang Seon Woo are ssooo adorable together!!!! Like I can't even!!! Their cuteness had me smiling like a lovesick fool! I seriously loved the two of them together! And even though I liked Soon Ae I was team Bong Sun from the start. The love triangle was very interesting and I loved how it played out.
Overall: I loved this drama to bits and pieces and if you haven't seen it already then what are you waiting for?! With romance, mystery, great acting and amazing story and a pinch of scary this drama will make you fall in love with its awesomeness!

This a drama that I would recommend 100%, because you can't stop watching till the end go find out how, or what, or why certain things happen with the main roles of the drama. At first I wasn't sure how this drama was being so recommended or why people liked it. Because when you get in the 2 to 4 episode its brings you in that you can't stop watching it. The acting of the characters is so refreshing this is not your typical romantic drama this story gives intensity and romance with allot of suspense that you don't know what to do.
For me one of the best suspense romantic dramas ever!!!!

Watching this drama for the first time without any expectation, never did I know how much it will hooked me up! Leaving me waiting and wanting for more every week, so I decided to write this review.
To start off, I would like to give a round applause to Park Bo Young. Man, this girl can act! She did a very good job portraying both a humble, no confidence human and a silly, extrovert ghost. She made me enjoy every moment with her on screen. One moment I will cry with her, the other I will laugh hard with her.
Another thing I'd like to write is regarding when some might say that Jo Jung Suk and Park Bo Young have a very silly romance here, I disagree. I ship them. They hugged whenever they felt like they wanna hug, and kissed whenever they felt like they wanna kiss. They really looked like a real life couple, falling in love with each other character, at the same time, making me falling for them as well. Jo Jung Suk's character loved Park Bo Young's so much, I wish they were real.
As for the music, this drama did offer a subtle and engaging ost. They did not surpass the goodness of this drama itself, and that what made it worth watching. It's like they want you to focus more on the drama (story plot and acting) and not overly done on the ost. It's just feel right and just nice.
Well, I can go on and on declaring how much I love this drama, for the first episode to the satisfying ending, but at the end of the day what I really want to say is GO WATCH THIS DRAMA!!! Like NOW!

My favorite show of all time is Ghost Whisperer, and this show brought back a lot of feelings for me with that. Especially with Bong-Sun being the way she was in the beginning.
The first time I watched this drama, I quit at the first episode because it made no sense to me whatsoever. Then, going back after watching a lot of kdramas, this became more enjoyable then a lot of others I forced myself through.
To start out with- here is the things I enjoyed the most:
-->Soon Ae towards her brother.
Do I need to say more? As I was pissed on how her brother mistreated everyone, I was taken back by how everyone was affected when someone came into their lives that reminded so much of someone they had lost. I love in KDramas how sisters usually slap the brothers on the head countless times. It is what makes a KDrama a KDrama in my opinion.
---> The drama teaches a very valuable lesson you don't often think about. That if you were killed and didn't know how- would you want to know? Would you have changed it? If you were murdered or raped, would you want to relive that as a ghost? Would you want to see the person who killed you?
Or, say you died in a car accident. If you were upside down in your car and couldn't get out- and your loved one just found out and came to somehow save you with firemen, would you want to perceive your death as no one coming because of a blocked off intersection/ bridge broke down, or possible bad guy ((such as in OMG)). OR would you want to perceive your death as watching your mother/ and or father reaching out to you. A simple act of someone really important in your life there to save you. It is that lesson that is very important in this drama, and something I think about very often from watching this.
==> Now lets apply this to OMG-- When Soon Ae found out how she died, would you yourself want to know what happened? Or would you yourself just want to get rid of whatever grudge (if you are a virgin, etc) and go to heaven. She was curious the entire drama on how she died, but she had hesitation. What if it is something bad? She didn't want to know at first, because she couldn't go back and fix it and live again.
---> Going on with that, this drama also did a good job on the question if people still care after you die. That people still live on with their lives, and Soon Ae took a while with herself to comprehend that everything was the same-- nothing changed. I loved her character in that regard.
-->Less corporate mumbo- jumbo talks that take away from the actual story itself.
-->More talk less showing of mother's wealth. Many dramas show instead tell of wealth. This can be overpowering to watch, because you get (in my opinion) less emotion and personality out of the characters. Poorer characters DO have a hard time, but they are more likely to make the situation brighter in some aspects. (If you have no idea what I mean by this, just look at the characters in Manhole. He's living in his parents house in the beginning and is still happy with the small amount of money and friends he has. Instead of other worries, his only worry is getting his dream girl to like him-- not to move out ((unfortunately lol)) ).
--> loved the shyness of Bong- Sun. Yet, I sometimes couldn't handle Soon Ae's childish persona when she was Bong-Sun. I really don't know.
-->Officer Choi can leave. Greedy, greedy boi. (( In my personal opinion, Im Joo Hwan is an actor I hate mercilessly. he himself must be a sweet person, but his characters just ruin every drama for me for the worse. Uncontrollably Fond was horrible because of him. I loved Suzy, but couldn't stand him. Anyway....))
-->Seobinggo. ?? Never understood her character. Even though she is supposedly a fortune teller, I thought she was someone from up above getting her and didn't realize she was real for a very long time. Her character was always back and forth for me idk.
and lastly
-->I didn't hate the other cooks, but didn't like them either. Some times they were funny- some times they were just annoying. I don't understand how they didn't catch on with Bong-Sun but whatever. Nothing to think too hard about.
All together, the lessons I've gotten out of this drama is really amazing. With the couple flaws it does have- it will remain one of my favorite dramas.
