I have been wanting to watch this drama for a while and I finally got around to it due to it being October and of course Halloween...I was not a perfect 10 for me because there were some issues but overall, I liked the drama a lot. It was quirky and fun with a spooky concept perfect for Halloween and Fall.

Story: As I said above, if you like ghosts and creepy scenarios, this is the drama for you. The first half of this drama has some great ghost scenes. I also like that this story also has romance and comedic elements because I think it rounded out the story quite well. One issue I had was that it seemed as the drama progressed, the ghosts disappeared...which was disappointing to me because I was watching this to be scared and with the second half of the drama, I really wasn't scared at all. I wanted the episodic ghosts to be more relevant in the second half of the drama but I understand why they sort of disappeared...BUT STILL! NEEDED MORE GHOSTS!

Acting/Cast: To be truthful, I watched this drama because of So Ji Sub. I heard he was great and I heard right. For me, He was the best actor in this drama HANDS DOWN! I loved him and his interactions with the character Tae Gong Shil. Now the actress who played Tae Gong Shil wasn't bad either but I did find her character to be annoying in some parts. The character I liked the least was the model, Tae Yi Ryeong. I thought she needed to grow up and not be a child for most of the drama. She annoyed me a lot (a big NO NO in this drama) Lastly, I thought Seo In Guk was good in the drama. He didn't wow me but he wasn't horrible either. I did like his character's interactions with Tae Yi Ryeong. Oh and another small thing, there was this support character, the other security guard...HE HAD SUCH AN ANNOYING LAUGH! I COULDN'T GET OVER IT! I know it is small and weird that I would concentrate on that but I just couldn't get past that.

Music: I loved the main OST that played when the 2 leads were together. I thought it complimented those moments well and it was memorable.

Rewatch Value: I would watch this again...Probably fast forward to my favorite scenes but I would watch it again

Overall: Another huge issue I had with this drama was the number of episodes in the drama...I do not think it had to be 17 episodes long...It felt very drawn out in the middle and17 episodes seemed unnecessary. The problems/storyline that were being drawn out in the second half of the drama could have been resolved in 14, 15, 16 episodes EASILY!! Other than that. I thought this was a very entertaining and fun drama filed with ghosts and romance...I loved how it ended! Be sure to bring the popcorn and be scared (at least in the 1st half of the drama).
