I was sooo sad to watch the last episode of this drama.  I loved it.

The main characters:
I am new to these dramas so not familiar with any of the actors.  I love the chef's (Jo Jung Suk) character.  He was arrogant but I definitely didn't hold it against him.  He was funny and you can tell that there was more to him then his brashness.    My favorite hands down was Shin Soon-ae.  I enjoyed the show better when she possessed Na Bong-sun's body.  I found Na Bong's character annoying to be honest.  I was constantly wishing for Shin Soon-ae to jump in her body to brighten everything up once more.
Officer Choi was definitely creepy the way he went from evil one minute and nice the next.  I don't think anyone who have ever believed that he was the one killing people.  It was sad that he killed Shin Soon-ae without even realizing or knowing that she liked him.
I found myself wishing that the chef would somehow magically end up with the real Shin Soon-ae.  I know she was dead but I really wanted her to have a happy ending.  That should have been her reward for uncovering all of the evil deeds done by Officer Choi.  I loved the chemistry that the characters had.
The supporting staff:
I really wanted them to explore more about Kwak Si-Yang's character, Joon.  At one point, I thought they would have made this a four way love affair because of how both Na Bong-Sun and Shin Soon-ae's relationship seemed so genuine.  It also looked like he was secretly carrying a torch for Na Bong but oh well.

I felt that they rushed the ending.  Most of the show centered around Na Bong and Chef but then they exposed everything in like two or three episodes.

I didn't care for the ending too much.  Like I said...I really wasn't cheering for Na Bong as herself.  My heart ached for Shin Soon-ae when she had to leave and say goodbye to everyone.  I felt that chef could have shown a bit more emotion when it looked like he finally saw her at the end.  It seemed like he no longer wanted to hold her hands when he found out that it was her and not Na Bong.  In my opinion, he really fell in love with Shin Soon-ae and not Na Bong.  He cared about Na Bong but I really couldn't see her as something that would have lasted if Shin Soon-ae was real and alive.  I wonder who would he have chosen?

I loved the shaman's relationship with Shin Soon-ae.  At the end when she was crying when she felt her crossing over really pushed me to tears.  I wanted for them at least to show her in heaven or something doing something fabulous or with a beautiful man like she hoped for but nothing.

All and all...I really loved this show.  The chef had me at hello.  I loved him.
