Believe the HONG sisters have got a hit with casting, script and story. At the heart of this not a romance, horror and drama, they were aiming at the societal fear of different, bi-polar, or PTSD. So far have enjoyed all the innuendo layered between the funny lines or scary moments. The two leads have GREAT chemistry playing off each other to keep the scenes/moments enjoyable. Thinking this series will insert something new (much like Good Doctor) into the mainstream melodramas.

This is the first drama that had me in fear and also curiousity. At first I thought this will certainly be more of a comedy to me instead of ghost fearing drama. But during the first few minutes, I had already felt the fear of ghost existence around there. With the sound of the thunder and the atmosphere of the whole dark venue, I admit it it was awesome!

However, this drama drag me in it and I am very curious what is going to happen. With this fresh written romantic- comedy ghost drama, I am having anticipation of it and I think I will not get bored of it.

Overall I think that GHJ's and SJS's acting is a wow to me as this is the first time I ever saw them act. Overall I think this will be a good drama.( This is my first time reviewing a drama so I don't know how to, I am just trying it out^^)

PS: The ghosts in it are really scary.

It is, i admit, funny. And the light ambiance is the only reason I keep watching Master's Sun. Seeing that "who are you" and this drama used the same concept of the main character being able to see ghosts, it surprises me how master's sun keeps getting more and more absurd, and not at all scary.
Well, that is MY point of view, because i don't really like Gong shil's character...she should have been used to seeing ghosts after all these years but no she keeps creeping out like a crazy lady, and clings on to Joong won even when ghosts aren't around.
The humour makes the drama more bearable...and of course Kang woo :)
I guess I will give the drama 2-more-episode chance, if you are anything like me, you would be desperately waiting for 2-weeks' or who are you's next episode.

Another hit with my fav, So Ji-Sub! One of the main things I enjoy about "The Master's Sun" is its unique storyline! It offers a perfect balance of suspense, romance, and humor. The chemistry between the lead characters draws you into their world and makes you root for them as their relationship begins to blossom.
The incorporation of supernatural elements also is interesting and adds an exciting twist to the traditional romantic drama genre. Overall, it's a stand out series and a must-watch for anyone looking for a refreshing and engaging series that will evoke a range of emotions.

supernatural justice!

What if, instead of 3 ghosts at Christmas, multiple ghosts over months harrassed a rich guy in the most annoying way to get him to pay his employees and make real social change? romance is whatever and the acting is great, but I love how they used ghosts and a low income woman to force a rich, spoiled, (admittedly traumatized) guy to see how he really has the resources to effect change that makes society better. the only reason it’s not 10 stars is the way they forced the romance at the end.

My lifetime K-drama

There's a reason why I have watched Master's Sun for 7 times and will get back to it anytime If it's possible. It's like an addiction without withdrawal symptoms where every bits of the storyline feels like an Easter egg on each rewatch. The chemistry between Gong Hyojin and So Jisub is just top-notch and honestly this work got to be their best work in terms of dynamics nothing that both are prominent actors with noteworthy filmography. Never once I felt skeptical about the story and the direction of this drama; sensible flow and delivery, good sense of humour, touch of humanity here and there and most importantly authentic. I recommend everyone to watch!

This show was amazing! One of my top two favorites( the other being my love from the star). What really made it good was the chemistry between the two main actors. I especially liked the hugs :) i want hugs like Gong Shil got.
Tae Gong Shil is such an awesome female lead :3 The OST was also really good, there are some good sad/dramatic piano pieces without words in them that make every scene intense, and the song "Touch Love" is still stuck in my head.
"would rewatch again?" haha you mean can i stop rewatching this because it is so good

this drama is really amazing funny, cute, moving emotions, heartwarming & a little bit scary
so ji sub was so cut even u thought at the beginning he is heartless
so ji sub's secretary is the most cunning & funny man in this drama
the only character that made me pull my her (Han Na) the great B**** ~.~ >_<
WORTH WATCHING , HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ;)

SPOILER COMING
.......................
my rate is a little bit low cause i didn't like the end although it's happy one
but i felt it lukewarm cause it was too long without need i felt they are moving in one circle that made me felt a little bit bored
the last 2 ep. was monotonous wasn't strong as the beginning
but still v.good drama for me
i really loved it so

I will just first start off that this entire drama is 100000/100000.

One of my most favorite kdramas ever, So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin are the best duo ever
and my OTP <3 I recommend this drama to everyone even though there are some scary moments
but it is definitely worth it. The story line and the entire cast and even the Ost is amazing.

I cried my eyes out so much in this drama to the point I never wanted it to end. The plot line
is just mind blowing and amazing.

Nothing beats this drama in this category in my opinion ^^

This drama to me was just perfect. Love So Ji sub. He's was cute and charming. The moment I started watching this drama, I laughed and cried along with it. This is a drama that you will not regret watching forsure.

ahahahahahhaha lei troppo pazzaaaaa, lui da urloooooooo (ha 36anni ma dove cavolo li ha messiiiiiiiiiiiiiii); questo drama è basato dal fatto che lei vede le persone già morte e che si presentano a lei chiedendo un solo favore prima di scomparire per sempre, questa si avvicina al nostro protagonista non perché è interessata, anzi lei non si accorgerà di lui fin quando non ci sarà una svolta nel drama, ma per via dello spirito di una giovane ragazza, ex del nostro presidente, che cerca in tutti i modi di far trapelare di come sia andato veramente l’incidente di quando lei perse la vita parecchi anni fa… bel drama anche molto comico soprattutto quando la protagonista beve, lui (no comment) con il suo SPARISCI DALLA MIA VISTA ahahahhahahah
