Surprisingly great. It had a lot of small bits and pieces that would usually be enough to be a drama - shy character, murder, ghosts, family style business, etc - on its own combined together . All of which were presented superbly, filled with depth and colour. Our main character Na Bong Sun is a shy, introverted person at heart, who is unable to look her co-worker in the eye half the time but after she gets possessed by a horny ghost, her personality and relationships with coworkers begin the flourish, especially with Chief Kang Sun Woo. The personality switches are so vast that the character gets diagnosed as bipolar by a doctor. However both sides of the character were fascinating. Seeing Bong Sun begin to grow in confidence without Shin Sun Ae possessing her, was a tremendous story. When watching it, I couldn't help but prefer the real Bong Sun which is where a lot of similar dramas fall flat. But of course, Shin Sun Ae was amazing. Not only where the comedy was concerned but the more darker aspects of the character regarding her past and death. One of the best aspects of Oh My Ghost(ess) was the chiefs. They were all a tight knit group that gelled together in a funny and realistic way. They were a pleasure.

The cast was so good. All of them. There were a wide range of characters with distinctive personalities and plenty of time to develop them and everyone held up to the same great standard. Kim Seul Gi was terrific as always as Shin Sun Ae. Just as quirky and quick witted as she usually is. Park Bo Young not only had to channel the same energy as Kim Seul Gi, but she had to keep her main character’s energy too. Jo Jung Suk was just as good regarding his performance. If you want a kind, driven character, cast Jo Jung Suk because he gives that to you perfectly. Now onto the MVP of the drama, Im Joo Hwan, who played Choi Seong Jae, the seemingly friendly Police Officer who is hiding a secret. Somehow he was able to be sympathetic, yet dark at the same time. Im Joo Hwan is definitely a strong second lead character to have. You're going to get a good effort out of him.
