an entertaining romp
This one was mostly fun with a few serious moments sprinkled in.I knew I would actually finish the drama when I pretty much fell in love with the secondary characters. Because as much as I like the leads, if they had been the only thing going for this drama, I probably would have dropped it since 16 episodes is longish for me. BUT, because all of the secondary characters were equally as amazing (love that comedy relief!), I kept watching. Love the ghost-hunting pair of crazies. They're just so quirky and fun and absolutely not suited for that type of job. And the monk, oh my goodness, once I got used to him, he became one of my favorite characters.
But in the end, I really kept watching for Kwon Yool's character. Because while he terrified me, at the same time, as more and more of his story unfolded, I prayed for a hopeful resolution for him. I had to know what happened to him in particular, so I kept watching, and I am glad that I did. I felt the most empathy for him, in the entire drama, which probably sounds strange, but is also true.
Now, as for the storyline with the leads, I guessed Hyun Ji's plotline. Not all of the elements tying everyone together, but the rest of her story is not all that original so I knew by the end of episode 2 what she really was. Which is fine, but it does show that while the drama is supremely fun, with all of the side characters and their personalities elevating the story to a bit more of a comedy than horror, the main story is just sort of basic. The leads couldn't have carried this drama alone. Bong Pal, as tsundere characters go, warmed up pretty quickly, but I actually liked him and Hyun Ji more before they started liking each other, if that makes sense. They were more fun when their interactions had a bit more bite.
And for a girl who's a pretty tough ghost, she didn't do a lot of screaming or fighting back in the last 2 episodes. Even just making yourself dead weight, especially knowing your kidnapper needs you, would have made a lot more sense. So parts of the ending particularly frustrated me because an actual persona in real life would have behaved differently if they had actually been kidnapped and knew someone was there to rescue them. And what happened to Hyun Ji's necklace? Because it was never resolved as to whether her mom gave it to her or not.
So while I did enjoy it and have rated it fairly high, there were some storytelling and timing issues that I wish hadn't happened

HIDDEN GEM
At first I was hesitant to watch this, i thought it would be boring and wasting of time.Now that i finished watching it, i don't regret it at all, it wasn't boring at all, and I really recommend it.
At the end I felt bad for professor Joo, he only wanted to protect his mother from his abusive father. I hated him, but i later realized that it's the evil spirit fault, i hope one day he gets free and live a happy life with his mother.
I also loved the chemistry between Bong Pal and Hyeon Ji
It's a really good kdrama

Легко и игриво
Не люблю я истории про призраков и пришла изначально на Ок Тэкена, но история затянула и очень понравилась. Так как не все истории про призраков пугающие, как например "Властитель солнца" Некоторые могут быть даже забавные. Дорама очень милая на самом деле. В ней много забавных моментов, которые заставят вас улыбаться и отвлечься. Каждый эпизод содержит подсюжет, который не даст вам соскучится от основного сюжета. понравилось, что все шло ровно, без скачков и затягивания. Потрясающий каст актеров. Самое сложное конечно досталось Квон Юлю. С таким красивым лицом, сыграть такого злодея - это прекрасно наблюдать. Буду ли я смотреть еще раз? скорее всего нет, так как дорама запомнилась и если только стереть память чтобы увидеть это снова.Cet avis était-il utile?
Visually impressive show, with some lacklustre episodes
Visually it's great, which really helps to convey the legitimacy of the ghosts. Some are genuinely scary!Story-wise, it's just good, but needed more villain depth.
This show has some great ideas, and a wonderful character portrayal by the main actress, but let down by our main actor Taecyeon's lack of acting skills, and a rather annoying older sidekick character, unfortunately.
The main actress saves the day though, you'll cry with her, laugh at her, feel her frustrations. This makes this series well worth watching.

Altro personaggio amato è stato Choi Cheon Sang: ho riso come una matta per lui, una delle migliori spalle comiche di sempre XD
Guardatevi il drama solo per la storia d'amore.

Sundae Soup :3
(English is not my first language, sorry if i made some mistakes.)I started watching this drama because of Ok Taec-yeon, his acting was wonderful in Vincenzo and now I want to see everything this man does, no matter what it is. It's amazing how his personality changed from character to character, proving he's an amazing actor.
Overall I really liked it, it's ideal for those looking for something light, cute and to pass the time. Don't think that just because the site says that have terror that it's going to be something like The Conjuring that has jump scares every five seconds, the ghosts I would say that are very cute, and it also gave me a ghostbusters vibe.
The main couple was also very cute to see, always good to see healthy couples in dramas, where the males leads are not completely abusive and the girls submissive (I'm looking at you Playfull Kiss). The other couple, who is actually a bromance, was also very fun to watch, they did so many funny things and even more funny because they do it together.
Anyway, let's talk about some points that bothered me, thankfully there weren't many:
- It made me nervous when that monk went to investigate on his own, discovered something, such as that the villain in the story was chasing Bong Pal and his father for a long time (5 years if I'm not mistaken) and HE DIDN'T EVEN WENT TO TALK HIS DISCOVERS TO BONG PAL, or, even tell about the weapon that could destroy the damn evil spirit.
- In my opinion the drama didn't need to have 16 episodes, I had the feeling that after a while they were dragging certain things, nothing that wasn't bearable.
- The OST was more or less, nothing very memorable.

As with korean costume makeup, the ghost were scary looking. Some scenes were gripping and not for the faint hearted when you watch it at night
What amazes me the most is the script and the writing. Heres a team of writers who knows what it wants to tell and how to tell it in 16ep. The plot when you thought was predictable as they clearly show who the antagonist was from almost the start keeps surprising you as the plot unfolds a d continues to be exciting and suspenseful to the end.
Furthermore i was surprised with Taecyeon and So Hyun. When they first announce the pairing i was worried and hesitant to watch. Surprise surprise that they were adorable together and bashful which works for their character and school student setting. So Hyun was a gem and i love her Hyun Ji who was spunky, can kickass, and super cute. Bong Pal was dorky, grumpy turned sweet. The two sidekicks were fun to watch too. Lastly Kwon Yul's acting was spot on. So eery and scary. So this is another awesome tvn drama that i didnt expect to like but in the end love it.

The drama didn't drag, the mysteries were revealed in their own time, we didn't know everything since the beginning, they knew how to keep the audience entertained with comedy, romance, suspense, scary ghosts, fights and sad stories, I cried with so many ghosts and wanted to kick the ass of some others.
I had only watched one drama with Taec Yeon, "Who Are You?" and he's not so good, so I wasn't expecting anything from him, but wow, he surprised me, he was very good here, the fights with the ghosts, the comedy and the romance, he had so many faces, lol, his faces to Hyun Ji were the cutest thing ever. So Hyun was always great in everything I watched with her so far, she's already is an amazing actress and I loved the fact that they dressed her to look a little older, she was his Noona, lol.
Lee David, Kang Ki Young and Kim Sang Ho also had great scenes, was impossible not to love them, Lee David, Il Rang won my heart, he was so cute and adorable, it's impossible to not him.

Kim So Hyun is so cute! I remember her in The Moon Embracing the Sun and will watch The Tale of Nokdu and Radio Romance because of her amazing acting and did handle emotions well. Taec Yeon is not bad. Taec Yeon and Kim So Hyun work very well together and they have a good chemistry. Kang Ki Young and Lee David’s characters rocks because they are so hilarious. I honestly think Kang Ki Young is the best comedic actor even I’d seen so far. Their scenes make me lol’d so hard.
The OST are good but not good enough against Hotel Del Luna in terms of spooky and creepy OST. Overall, it was entertaining and amusing. I will surely rewatch it someday.

I also have to mention the brilliance of the supporting actors Lee David and Kang Ki Young, I laughed so much of these guys, my face and stomach hurt so much. They were so adorably cute and funny.
The story of this show was great, the fighting and the also the special effects, I could never get enough. Absolutely worth watching.
