I began this drama because I kept hearing so much about it and it showed up as a good show to watch on many lists. In the end though I was completely disappointed. My favorite thing about the whole show was the instrumental music and a few songs. The pace of the story was so slow, that it took forever for things to happen and in two episodes you could see some characters have the same arguments over and over, it was repetitive. Plus the mystery was way too easy, I mean my curiosity was just taken and before I even reached the ending I already lost interest cause I knew how it would probably end.

Story-
The story and plot line of the show was one of the best I've seen in korean dramas, and the reason I say it is because I preferred more historical dramas and You're all surrounded was the first modern drama that I could say I completely loved it all. There is a lot of romance, comedy, and the most important element mystery. The mystery was by far the best thing in the series, I was always trying to figure out what exactly was going to happen next and you could see connecting dots trying to figure out who was behind the crime and all. The romance was adorable and and filled even with comedy considering two characters that didn't like each other ended up having the same type of girl problems. What really struck me more than anything else was the friendship that was built by the four detectives along with their mentors that slowly became more like family.

Acting/ Cast-
The acting of the main cast was not one of the best but it was truly amazing, because you could feel the family love between them and actually believe it! While some were better than others in the parts where they had to act dramatic, they were all equally amazing when it came to anything related to comedy. My favorites were when the most serious character was doing something was completely not in his personality. The romantic chemistry between the two main characters is cute, funny, and at the same time it has the perfect pace because it doesn't start out being too fast like, "I see you and I fell in love with you" but at the same time it doesn't go so slow that you would say, "seriously it took 40 episodes just for them to kiss?!"

Music-
The music while not the best and my favorite thing about the show was still on a pretty good level considering the type of show it was. It made the scenes come even more to life be it when they were investigating or when they were having fun. It also made my just be so happy whenever it played with the main couple on screen because it just made the romance chemistry between them even better. It made me want to jump in and be a part of the show.

Rewatch Value-
Normally, I'm the type that can rematch movies not an entire series, but this series is actually the first that I have ever come across that has actually made me want to see it all over again. In fact just talking about it right now is making me want to watch it again!

Now, I went into this one mostly because a friend was just bugging me into watching it with her. So when I started, I didn't actually have any expectations about it which is exactly why the show itself managed to just completely blow me away. I would say that this one makes my top ten favorites list simply because of the sheer amazing acting skill of one of the female leads. It was amazing to see this actress having to play to complete polar opposite personalities due to the different identities as well as show the growth of both characters.

The romantic relationship between the leads has a beautiful pace to it and it's the kind that you just can't get enough of. Normally, people would just be happy to see that they're finally in a relationship and then be bored for the rest of the show cause there's just nothing left to be interested in but honestly, it wasn't like that at all for me. Their relationship was both funny and beautiful.

The mystery behind the main storyline is also great, it was very well thought through and it was interesting how it still connected to the more fantasy theme. Lastly, I would have to say that the one thing that was kind of a letdown was the music itself. It didn't really stand out to me and it felt just like any other song that goes along with these kinds of dramas.

Overall though, it was great! I didn't really binge through it but I did finish it and it did make me curious. It was a fun journey to go through the story and see these people grow to be even better people all because of a ghost.
