Being a relatively new drama addict (I've been watching dramas for almost a year now and have slowly been creeping up on the "that girl is crazy" list at work.) I don't think it is fair for me to post a review but I'm writing one anyway. Master's Sun is a Hong Sisters drama and as everyone is well aware watching their dramas is like taking crack. Their dramas tend to have a lot of inside jokes, random fantasy scenes, and are bent on making you laugh more than cry. Cool, I'm down with that. Also, this drama is bursting with amazing actors. The main couple played by So Ji Sub & Gong Hyo Jin we've seen before in another Hong Sisters drama Greatest Love (fantastic drama btw). I've recently gotten to the point in my obsession that I can recognize actors/actresses I've seen in other well known dramas. I was amazed at how many faces I recognized. That being said Master's Sun really solidified my adoration of So Ji Sub & Gong Hyo Jin working together. At first So Ji Sub felt like he was replaying his original role in Greatest Love (calculating, annoying, full of himself, Son of a B-) and Gong Hyo Jin felt a lot like her role in Pasta but instead of saying "Cheif!" all the time it was "CEO!" As Master's Sun started rolling I saw the actors shedding those previous roles and falling into the roles of Tae Yang & Joon Goon. Their chemistry on screen was off the charts and I liked how they eventually made their two different worlds coincide. The ghost stories were not my thing. I don't do horror. And I'm such a wimp that even the harmless ghosts in Master's Sun still scared me. I liked how the "ghost of the week" wasn't just filler and was sometimes tied to the main plot. The thing about this drama that makes it a Hong Sisters best (in my eyes at least) is the way the conflict unfolds. It isn't some outside force keeping the couple apart (like scary mothers or jilted girlfriends) or even the own couples stupidity (But I want to save you from myself!) And for that this drama will be re watched again. Overall a cute Rom-com and we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief that it wasn't another Big.
