Very Enjoyable
This movie is remarkable for its success at mixing genuine creepy horror and a romantic arc together with some hilarious comedy. It feels rushed as it checks off all the steps from cold relationship to romantic entanglement in a little less than two hours. But that's because I guessing most viewers, like me, are used to seeing all these steps detailed in 12 to 16 hour long episodes, so yes it is rushed. This story as we've seen elsewhere can be told over a much longer span and it works.
Master's Sun mixed some supernatural scary spooks into its story but what's remarkable here is that the spooks and how there're shown are really creepy, and then suddenly some funny switch will kick in and the scene jumps to comedy. Odd, but it works.
Stay tuned to the final credits because there's a amusing attempt by the male lead's sidekick to pick up a ghost, who ignores him walking, or drifting away.
The rules as to who can see ghosts when are loose. But the story points move fast so there's no time to dwell on this issue.
Possible spoilers.....
I only watched the one time so I may have misunderstood a scene in which the two leads get together, i.e. sleep together, in the tent she keeps in her living room. In the morning the male lead's girl friend somehow shows up from France, knows where they are, and gains entry to her house to unzip the tent catching them inside together. Then the three are shown talking in his (?) house, and after some discussion the female lead leaves his house. I am confused how that transition took place from in the tent in her house to some other house.
I liked how the story leaves unresolved the fact the female lead is being aggressively haunted by her dead former best friend. At the end the ghost is still haunting and apparently isn't going anywhere.
A final note. I almost missed this but note in the scene in which the female lead is seeing off her new boyfriend from the front gate in the morning. As she turns to re-enter the gate, look towards the top left of the screen and you'll see a ghost, the ghost standing on the balcony.
