Fun ghost stories but the romance was superfluous not vital.

I love ghost Kdramas. I like the romance ones, the scary ones, the funny ones...all of them. This particular drama gets a lot of good reviews and it was definitely fun to watch. However, unlike most people I really felt like the romance leads were not well matched at all. Maybe it was his weird asymmetrical haircut, but dude just didn't really seem to logically click with the chick. They made it work, but I think that was 100% her own chemistry and he just sort of existed next to her.

The ghost stories in this drama were a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the way the female lead interacted with each of the side characters. Her energy was really great in this drama...though the initial premise of her needing to cling to the lead dude was a little shallow, it definitely provided some comedy and a little romantic tension.

My biggest complaint about this otherwise light and fun watch is the ending. Some of these Kdramas seem to do this weird trope where initially the chick is super clingy but once she wins the dude she's like peace-out for a good year or two while he sits around lamenting his loss and then eventually she comes back. It's a weird interlude that makes no logical sense to me at all. She still comes back...always...but I just can't figure out why it's even necessary. Like...bitch you WON why you running away now? I also really really struggled with the accent of the dude she ran away with at the end. He talks through his teeth and it was super unattractive to me and difficult to watch. What's the point of being pretty if your jaw is apparently wired shut? I've tried to replicate it (because I was for sure high) talking through my own teeth, but it's really awkward and difficult and I just can't wrap my brain around it. Dude was a snake with a weird, shallow, unnecessary story arc and I didn't like him at all.

I MIGHT rewatch this again someday just to see all the fun ghosts and their storylines again.
