Mediocre at best, but nice if you have some time to spare

I believe that there’s not really much to say about Bring it On, Ghost. And I’ll not try to sugar coat it. It’s not bad overall, but it’s not exceptional either. It’s just average, and I think that writing about average dramas is the hardest task there is.
Bring it Ghost is mostly carried by secondary characters that mostly work as a comedy relief here. The pair of students and always hungry old monk are usually the most interesting thing that’s happening on the screen.

So this drama started off as bad as it could actually. From the start I wasn’t really liking it, it felt mediocre at best. We’ve already had ghost motive in other dramas that made it more interesting than this one. Secondary characters helped a bit and actually were the reason that I’ve decided to stay by it (I mean, who could resist Kang Ki Young’s appeal, king’s of the secondary characters?). The main couple was promising and chemistry between them seemed to work, as long as they wouldn’t make a romantic couple out of them, which obviously happened.

But still, I’ve decided to watch it till the end. First, because I really don’t like dropping dramas, secondly because after Vincenzo I was really curious what Ok Taec Yeon was really capable of.

And the villain was honestly interesting from the beginning and surprisingly didn’t end up being completely over exaggerated character.

This drama certainly needs it’s time to get up to speed. Which isn’t necessary good, since you need to actually survive to have any form of fun here.

The ghosts’ side stories were mostly interesting on their own, sometimes even more than the main plot. They certainly made the whole drama easier to watch. In the end this is a “monster per episode” type of drama for most part and it swiftly was pushing everything forward.

The thing that I couldn’t get past here was logic behind the way ghosts function.It just seemed so weir idea that ghosts need actually food and sleep to function that I wasn’t able to get used to it.

In the end unfortunately it become just a mediocre and forgettable drama at best. The one that you need a synopsis to to actually remind yourself what it was about. I don’t want to be harsh here it’s not that I regret watching it. It actually had some quite good moments when I believed that I can really start enjoying it. Like I’ve said before, it’s not a bad drama. It’s just a drama to watch in the middle of things, where you don’t necessary need to focus much. If you need something to watch in between series like Mouse or Strangers from Hell, this is something for you.

And honestly, if Ok Taec Yeon won’t make you feel better then I don’t know what will. This guy can emanate really cute vibes when he wants to and he created surprisingly likeable character.
