Really good execution of a quite simple, but emotionally rich story.

Starting this drama, I had no idea what to expect. The poster makes it look like a crime show, the synopsis breaks your heart suggesting a painful tragedy, but users opinion makes it look like a nice drama that can make you emotionally attached to the characters without totally ruining you.
While the romance is ever present and easily felt, it's not shoved in your face with every scene. We not only get to know about the forming relationship between Mes and Thun, but also about them as separate characters.

The supporting cast did an amazing job showing realistic reactions to a situation presented to them. They have some back story of their own, that is used as a driving force making them take action.

The best part of the show was definitely the emotional impact it has on you as you watch it. It has this nostalgic feeling that slowly draws you in and makes you feel like you are part of the story. Singto did an amazing job portraying his character and I must admit, I did tear up with him a few times.

That said, some things were a let down for me. Ohm overall did a stunning job, yet there were few instances where his emotional scenes felt… forced? I was holding back a sarcastic comment like: yes, squeeze these tears (That said, the rooftop scene was amazing). Some plot twists and the answer to the questions presented at the beginning were… questionable at best. And the ending… oh boi I was not crazy about it. Without giving any spoilers, I just feel like they wanted to have and eat the cake and it just did not work out for me.

Overall, a truly nice drama with amazing pace (one of the strongest points), realistic characters with flaws, simple yet well executed conflict and lots of emotional depth. You don’t need to be scared by the fact it’s a ghost love story, it will not ruin you emotionally :)
