It's a slug and drag, but with a so good idea, I can't stop watching. There is a lot of sweet moments, and even more cute with this beautiful cat. The actor play the role good enough, so he have cat reactions.
Is this really one of the best korean dramas of all time, like many comments/reviews say?
I just watched episode 3. It's a kdrama in the same style than Penthouse. Not only Makjang, but also Self Parody. And fast paced story. The screenwriter is really good. He wrote Lawless Layer before (same style) and before a more Melo one "Remember war of the son" with a beautiful ending.
Both lead acting here are so good. This is among the best chemistry from kdrama I have ever watched. The ML is…
Directing too. Experimented director. About comedy, a lot rely on acting. Just one short moment Ep4: when they do a high-five one, check the expression of the FL!
I have the feeling the ghosts stories are more parody here. The first ghost: he die and lose his pregnant wife, but when he wanders with the protagonist, he looks jaded, out of mood. Weird. The second ghost: the crying scene of his son was so awful, I couldn't take that seriously.
Maybe they'll give her the powers once they're established as friends or smn because rn the only thing keeping…
She have the same kind of power than the old shaman lady. She can "feel" the ghosts when they are close (for now, only when they pass through her). The old shaman lady can speak with them but without earing their words. She just feel their intention and a general meaning.
I really wished they'd give her the power to see ghosts as well so she can be more /in/ the group. But I guess…
Without this vision, it can make comedy scenes when she speak in the void. It's also better for the ML because he get this unique ability and is useful. When I think more about his situation... in fact this guy isn't competent at anything special. When he looks at his enemy (the other magician), he ask himself "how can he does that?". The ML don't know magic tricks, he's mostly a cheater. How could he survive on the island he want to go?
This is a plot device… they can’t be all good right at the beginning… wait for the plot development and…
It's a bit like ordering fast food. People want this or that. They don't want this or that. Not realizing that if they were served exactly what they ask for, it would be tasteless and boring.
Not to mention that they always want to enforce their own morality, as if they were afraid of not being sure of their convictions, and not being able to stand disturbing scenes.
If I take for example the scene of the kicking down the stairs. Of course, it is dangerous and irresponsible. But isn't it a flaw in the protagonist? And it's the kind of striking scene that gives punch to a drama.
The feeling of friendship is all over the place. And great! Who say it was not interesting to have a good-old hero solving all injustice? It hooks like crazy.

It's sad but it's time to say goodbye to this drama.

And "10 years before". lol.

There isn't a rom-com feeling in this.
