Minha Nossa, Fantasma (2015)

Slightly disappointed to be honest after all of the love that my fellow Kdrama bingers have given this drama. I was introduced to this by my friends, and based on the many positive reviews, I decided to give it a go. I felt like the series was all over the place: with many storylines, I feel like the directors and screenwriters had to think out of the box for this drama. Don't get me wrong, the story was nothing like I've ever seen before. The problem is that I didn't feel a strong connection with the characters or even the OST. I'm a fan of some of the actors and their other well-known dramas and movies, but I felt like they didn't live up to their characters. For example, the ghost, the chef and the shy girl love triangle was a bit awkward, not gonna lie. Plus, they didn't seem to have any chemistry at all. Overall, this drama didn't keep me watching on the edge of my seat. I think I'm being generous for giving it a 7, but the main storyline was a lot different than what I've seen in Kdrama world. So if you enjoy supernatural themes, a bit of thriller and rom-com, you'll definitely love this.

I've never been interested in this drama till I've seen Jo Jung Suk, Kang Ki Young, and Im Joo Hwan as their casts. As expected from a drama with this casts, it was really interesting from the beginning till the end.

Though I find Park Bo Young pretty in "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon", she was exquisitely beautiful in this drama. I actually can't believe that it was her. Her acting skill is a match. She was so cute when she is timid and even when she's bold. Even when she switched her personality, her acting was never awkward in neither one of them.

Kang Ki Young was quite annoying in this drama, but still his humor made it lively. However, I love it that in this drama, the humor not only came from Kang Ki Young, but also with Choi Min Chul and Oi Eui Shik. Their tandem made the story more fun to watch.

I don't think Kwak Shi Yang belong to their group. I think the role suppresses his talent. I just think that his personality does not belong to their group and should have taken a much bigger role.

I'm so happy to see Shin Hye Sun in this drama. As expected from her, her act is so flawless.

As expected from Jo Jung Suk, this drama has the right balance of seriousness and humor, all thanks to him. I was always amazed of his acting skills, and have always loved watching his dramas.

I actually have just finished watching "The Game: Towards Zero" and left awed by Im Joo Hwan. I never expected that he would have the same role here in this drama. Though his physical feature is quite different (I think he's a bit thinner here than in "The Game.."), his talent in acting is really something to watch.

Overall, I love this drama. It was very interesting from beginning till the end. No boring episode, and the story itself is very unique. The casts are very great that they have made this drama very entertaining. What I love the most is the ending. I love how things ended up to every character - from the leads to the villain.

It’s a fun, suspenseful romantic comedy that will have you craving all kinds of food. There’s a lot to admire about this variation on the movie, Ghost. Lots of big emotions, a mystery and slow-burn romance. The main three leads are all very strong and the ensemble cast is capable as well.

But there are a few things that majorly bugged me. Bong Soen is such a doormat that it’s painful to watch and I don’t want to cheer her on. She’s so spineless, it’s hard to care about the main character and it’s hard to want a happy ending for her since she doesn’t necessarily deserve it.

The comedy also gets a little too broad sometimes, but that’s my own personal preference. I found funny moments, but some of the loud, boisterous moments went on too long for me.

Also, in the #metoo era, there are cringeworthy moments as the leading lady tries to seduce the main guy. Harassment works both ways and this goes over the top for laughs, but it wouldn’t be funny in real life.

Anyway, some major drawbacks, but overall I really enjoyed this one.

Surprisingly great. It had a lot of small bits and pieces that would usually be enough to be a drama - shy character, murder, ghosts, family style business, etc - on its own combined together . All of which were presented superbly, filled with depth and colour. Our main character Na Bong Sun is a shy, introverted person at heart, who is unable to look her co-worker in the eye half the time but after she gets possessed by a horny ghost, her personality and relationships with coworkers begin the flourish, especially with Chief Kang Sun Woo. The personality switches are so vast that the character gets diagnosed as bipolar by a doctor. However both sides of the character were fascinating. Seeing Bong Sun begin to grow in confidence without Shin Sun Ae possessing her, was a tremendous story. When watching it, I couldn't help but prefer the real Bong Sun which is where a lot of similar dramas fall flat. But of course, Shin Sun Ae was amazing. Not only where the comedy was concerned but the more darker aspects of the character regarding her past and death. One of the best aspects of Oh My Ghost(ess) was the chiefs. They were all a tight knit group that gelled together in a funny and realistic way. They were a pleasure.

The cast was so good. All of them. There were a wide range of characters with distinctive personalities and plenty of time to develop them and everyone held up to the same great standard. Kim Seul Gi was terrific as always as Shin Sun Ae. Just as quirky and quick witted as she usually is. Park Bo Young not only had to channel the same energy as Kim Seul Gi, but she had to keep her main character’s energy too. Jo Jung Suk was just as good regarding his performance. If you want a kind, driven character, cast Jo Jung Suk because he gives that to you perfectly. Now onto the MVP of the drama, Im Joo Hwan, who played Choi Seong Jae, the seemingly friendly Police Officer who is hiding a secret. Somehow he was able to be sympathetic, yet dark at the same time. Im Joo Hwan is definitely a strong second lead character to have. You're going to get a good effort out of him.

My Fav RomCom

in ghost oriented dramas there won't be any story nothing but the ordinary and this drama isn't any different though.

But they handled this Supernatural romantic comedy drama very well with no fillersor dull moment in it.. Good story even though bit of awkward sometimes but it made sense at some point of time as i kept watching .

Fantastic casting ,every one of the actor did their best to keep the show entertaining .The screenplay and decent writing made this show avg to above avg.

#parkboyoung really nailed it. She is just super cute and amazing 😻😻

In One Word ,Decent Fun Ride and better than many ghost romcoms..

This drama is amazing, it has a little bit of everything a drama needs to catch your attention. Romance, drama, thriller, comedy. I mean, it's fun to watch and you can't wait to see the next episode. I get easily scared so the evil ghosts were kind scary to me, but it's no big deal.
Let's talk about the villain. This story has one of the best villains I ever saw on a drama. You can see he has no mercy at all, he's really an evil person and that makes you believe he is a villain, I loved that.
Another positive thing is how the female main develops through the story. She's kind boring in the first episode because of her personality but I was happy as she started to change.
The story is the type I reaaly like, something fanciful. The romance is really good, you have some spice lines from the characters that make you laugh a little. Since I'm a fan of Bo Young, I loved the casting. She is perfect for any role.
The musics though are not remarkable.
To sum up, if you're not certain to watch it or not, it's really worth it.

Entertaining drama with great acting!

The girls are so great! Park Bo Young's acting is just perfect, she slips from one character to the other so well, it's really believable and Kim Seul Gi is so adorable and funny.
I loved the kitchen brigade's dynamic, they could really bring some light fun in the drama.
Lee Jung Eun is also quite amazing and funny.

The plot is clearly a dangerous one, it could have gone wrong at pretty much any moment.
Particularly with the main characters' romance part, figuring out which girl he was falling for, but it managed to stay afloat, and the way they closed it still makes sense.
The suspense part fell a bit flat for me, as I found it a bit too evident.

I just hate that kind of ending which I find rather cliché and boring for the main characters. However, I quite like how they choose to end on the sister's side.

The execution could have been better

My reaction
- The first 8 episodes felt like filler episodes
- In the first half of the drama I could see when Bong Sun was possessed... the actress made it really believable. But then for some reason in the second half I couldn't distinguish between her and the ghost. I think they should have put flashes of Soon Ae whenever Bong Sun was possesssed so we could know for sure who's who.
- I know it's part of tge culture, but I hated evey time the sous chef or the chef would hit their coworkers.
- Bong Sun was sooooo annoying in the first episodes. I couldn't stand her. You can be shy and still act like an adult.
- Bong Sun's back story could have been more addressed.

I heard so much good feedback about this show last year, and I’m always behind on trendy dramas.

The show starts out with talking about ghosts, but the story as so much to say about living life to the fullest and I love that so much about the story. The show, at times, brought me so much laughter, and at other times, moved me to tears.

Park Bo Young and Jo Jung Seok have such sizzling chemistry, bringing to life a script that is already hilarious, moving and overall compelling. Kim Seul Gi brought such delight as the spunky and forward ghost. She was hilarious but also played the emotional moments of her character very well. The three leads really made the show that much more excellent.

I do wish we got more insight into the character of Sung-jae, played by Im Joo Hwan, who also did a great job with his role and gave a really moving and compelling performance. Really hope to see him in more lead roles.

The soundtrack is pretty short but the few songs it had were meaningful and catchy. Quality over quantity!

The story could have been improved in some aspects, as well as the ending and resolution of the central conflict, but I found myself really moved by the show and the growth of the characters, and so I still highly recommend this for a fun and emotionally moving watch.
