Ah, one more completed drama for my list. Not that my list is that long to begin with, but Oh My Ghostess deserves a special spot on my watchlist because it's one of the dramas I'll miss to watch. Obviously I'll rewatch it later but...it's nothing like watching it for the first time and liking.
Bias aside, Park Bo Young is excellent here. She managed to deliver two characters in one, and not she only did that, but she made me feel for those two characters. I could easily close my eyes and still know who was who. She's not the only one shining on this drama though, Kim Seul Gi was also very good, like she is most of times, it's so sad that she doesn't have more leading roles, she has more talent than many leading actresses nowadays.
Also I was surprised by Jo Jung Suk, I had only seem him as a guest role in another drama (Legend of The Blue Sea) and saddly his appearence was too small to have a solid impression at all, so I was happy to accompain him from the beginning to end. Made me want to watch Jealousy Incarnate ASAP. And last but not least, I really liked Im Joo Hwa as well. His villain wasn't unforgetable, but it was like his acting could break the fourth wall, you know. People on the drama could feel something odd about him, as well as the viewers.
The story was also pretty original as far I know. Obviously it still has some traits that kdramas can't seem to let go of like the uber talented jerk-ish male lead, the dirty poor yet golden hearted female lead, the nagging mother-in-law and obviously a love triangle. However, unlike many other kdramas, OMG masterfully descontructs and turn into new things these same clichés. Even the love triangle is something completely original and well played.
I don't have that many complains about the show, I guess it's only major flaw was that it sometimes became boring and too slow. Not the good kind of slow, but just plainly slow. Due to this I was slow to finish, that's why I didn't give it a 9 (10 is only for the dramas that manage to touch me deep and only one has done it so far). That and I also felt that some drama on the last episodes could be avoided, also some plot points were a bit loose, and the villains backstory could be more elaborated.
Haha I ended up complaining a lot, but oh well.
The music was good, nothing more or less. I can't even remember it that well if I'm going to be honest.
Overall Oh My Ghostess is an entertaining ride. Not the most fun, not the most heartbreaking, not the most romantic, but good enough to make you like and watch it until the end.
