Set up like a 3-act play
Let's get this out of the way - I enjoyed it, but I had a difficult time suspending disbelief in many areas (and it was NOT the ghosts). The acting was excellent. Eun Bin and Se Jong were so cute together. Shout out to Ong Seong Wu as Min Hwan - he played a very nuanced character. The first time he appeared, he gave me feeling of distrust that was just amplified each time he appeared. The smile with the cold eyes...chilling. Supporting cast was also good.
Great costume design. I loved the closed Eun Bin wore - except for the boxy, square, oversized men's suit that she wore at the shareholder meeting.
Here's where my issues came in - did this have three different writers? This seemed to be broken up into three distinct acts.
Episodes 1-5 focused on ghosts. This section was so entertaining, especially with Gang Uk's fear.
-Gang Uk flatlined and they had to shock him, but just a few minutes later his wound was dressed, he was back in street clothes and standing in front of Yeo Ri. Suspend disbelief.
Episodes 6-9 focused on their relationship. They were a very sweet couple. Gang Uk was a walking green flag. I did enjoy watching Yeo Ri go from cold and distant to warming up and smiling. We got a cute engagement ceremony.
-How was he always able to find her when she didn't answer his calls? Did he have a tracker on her?
-Her hands were the only thing that were a problem. The reasoning for him wearing gloves as well? Double protection?
Episodes 10-12 Corporate intrigues. I felt like this whole thing was very convoluted.
-Breakup because of superstition. Suspend disbelief.
-why was Yeo Ri holding the murder weapon?
-the biggest problem for me was when Gang Uk went to the murder scene and found the cufflink. Did Min Hwan's lackey have the White Truck of Doom on speed dial? How did he even know Gang Uk was there? THEN, Yeo Ri pushed Gang Uk out of the way but proceeds to stand there for the truck to hit her. Why didn't she just do a flying tackle? I couldn't suspend belief this far.
-Was the final scene, where they were walking together, the first scene they filmed? The writing was so forced and both actors looked like they were acting. The whole thing felt wrong.
The product placement throughout this whole show was so obvious and poorly executed.
Bottom line? I would still recommend it. Turn your brain off and enjoy the ride.
