Fun, Cooking Romance Carried by Park Bo Young
If you're in the mood for a well-acted, light romance story with a supernatural twist and some cooking on the side, then this is the series for you! I think Park Bo Young especially carried this series and showed why she's in such high demand as an actress.
The acting in general is top notch, but it's particularly notable how Park Bo Young is able to act like two completely different people. She plays Na Bong Sun, the shy, sleepy, overly-apologetic line cook and also ghost-possessed Na Bong Sun, the overly confident, eternally-aroused, playful woman. Her performance really makes you believe that two different personas are inhabiting her body, which is something I don't think every actress can easily execute.
The story is generally good with some flaws. At its core, you've got a love triangle between a man, woman, and a female ghost, a related plot line exploring how the ghost died, and some cooking related story beats. The series is pretty funny but itself but the contrast between Na Bong Sun and possessed Na Bong Sun creates some especially comedic moments. I think the issues with the story are all related to the love triangle: essentially, the male lead falls in love with the ghost's persona...but ends up loving the woman's persona, which wasn't totally convincing to me -- there is even a scene near the middle-end of the series where Bong Sun realizes that most/all of the things that the male lead loves about her were the ghost's doing. I think unless we are to say that the male lead is just superficial, I don't think it's terribly reasonable he ends up loving Bong Sun, original persona.
Still, at the end of the day, this was a fun watch. I definitely recommend it wholeheartedly!
