This is the first time I've actually rewatched a drama in its entirety, I usually don't do that and seek new dramas instead. I feel like it's rather because of the fact that I find this drama easily enjoyable and time-killing rather than it's a masterpiece.
Let me start with the fact that I'm probably one of the few who didn't think the story was a mess. The crime element, as in the kidnapping seemed solid to me as without this the main story would go nowhere since the three main characters wouldn't interact, at all. I feel like if this was totally a rom-com, it wouldn't be half as good as it was and Bong-soon's superpowers would be useless to the plot. I'll admit I don't know how to judge acting unless it's ridiculously bad, and this wasn't the case. Both Min-hyuk and Guk-du annoyed me at times but none of the actors are to blame. They did quite well with the material they had. Park Bo-young totally stole the show though (I wish they had given her some better clothes though, she looked lovely but her wardrobe was questionable). I couldn't imagine anyone else pulling the character of Bong-soon off the way she did. I must say I loved how the story went by really quick, at least to me it felt like the 16 episodes passed by in a blink of an eye. Now that we're done with the praises, let's move on to the negative aspects of the drama - there weren't that many as there could have been but no drama is perfect. Let me start with the fact that I tend to ignore the OST unless it's something I really enjoy (like the Goblin OST which I listen to this day) but with this drama, you couldn't because of how often they played it. I'm not saying the songs included were bad, but it would have been much better if they didn't play it every 5 seconds or so. Another negative aspect is the homophobic remarks. I'm not going to elaborate on that because everyone knows which moments I'm talking about but as I'm not straight I must say I was slightly disappointed that the writers did not realise that there is no need to be offensive to be funny. Another one is Bong-soon's mom and her unhealthy relationship with Bong-soon's father. I found it tiring to watch at times. There is also the completely unneccessary plot with the monk. I completely don't understand it, what was the point? Same goes for the relationship between Guk-du's ex and Bong-soon's brother. However this one made a lot more sense than the plotline with the monk did.
To sum it all up, it feels like I wrote more negative things that positive ones but nevertheless it was a good watch which I enjoyed so I'm leaving it with a solid rank. Would I recommend it? Not on the top of my recommendation list but it's worth your time if you're just starting to get into K-Dramas or if you have a lot of free time or if you're looking for something easily enjoyable.
