Minha Nossa, Fantasma (2015)

This show is so refreshing. I don't agree with some people who said that the show is struggling about the genre, I mean does a show need to be categorized? If it's a romance, does it only need to talk about love? I will get bored if the show only talking about one theme.

I think the charm about this show is because of it's mix combination (comedy, romance, thriller, mystery), just like cooking, when u cook, if u only use one spice,HELLOW?? it would be so boringgggggggg! U should add more spices to make it flavorful. I like this show that it talks mainly about human emotion and r/s in it's own unique way.( I laughed hard, I scared, I was curious, I was angry, it also makes my heart feels warm, etc. mix feelings) It also makes me sitting in front of tv to watch this show until finish, coz i was curious about the ending.

The characters have their own growth too during the show. I mean, they become better person, they are not perfect but they try to be better, that's why i like this drama. I love human interaction is this drama as well. You should watch the show yourself.

STORY:
I love story about cooking, i love how the main couple becomes closer and become better person in their personalities and career too. They support each other to be better. I cannot explain well here, it just has it's own charm that makes me glued. It doesn't have ridiculous plot too. I feel that i learnt a lot from this movie about our life, about doing anything that u want while u r still alive. If not, u will regret it. The ghost and the girl r/s is also unique and they care to each other, the girl learnt a lot from the ghost. I also feel pity about the villain here because of his past, i dun hate him, i just feel pity, the show did not allow me to hate people here hehehe, that's why it's a plus point too. Making me feel that bad people also have their own story behind so i think i will have sympathy to this kind of people.

ACTING:
Superb, they are very convincing and makes me moved emotionally. I like jo jung suk now haha, park bo young is so cute and can act well, Kim seul gi is also daebak, Lim Ju-Hwan is very convincing to act as a psycho.

MUSIC:
It's good, i have downloaded the ost from itunes and i am listening it right now.

REWATCH:
Eh, i have watched it 2 times ahaha in fact, after one episode ended, i repeat some scenes that i like.

OVERALL:
A warm heart-ed drama, should have given 10/10, dunno why it only gets 8.7 score, haiz.

It's really good, but the plot gets slow in the middle. The character development in the ghost is good. Her whole story is bitter sweet since you see the humanity of a person who won't be able to live their lives. Kinda wished Bong-soon fell in love with Sun-ae instead. Since they had more development in their relationship than the main couple. Like the reason Bong-soon fell for Sun-woo are hard as she did is because he helped her. I don't I feel like their relationship is phoney since he began to date the possessed Bong-soon not the real one. He even says that he wished she didn't tell him that it all was a lie. I mean she doesn't even have memories of when they began to fall for each other.

This drama turned out better than I expected! After being introduced to it by a friend, I was quite unsure at first, I didn't get hooked into it right away, but after watching a few episodes, the story turned out to be really interesting ( not sure if it was actually really interesting or because I was binge-watching and didn't have to wait a week for the next episode so there was no gap..?). Even after sometime, the plot was really good and wrapped up well in the end. The actors did an AMAZING job, really impressed with Park Bo Young, she played her characters really well, the chemistry between the 2 main leads is just too good. Apart from the leads, even the other characters are played really well, all have some sort of backstory that connects them but all of them give the viewer a well understanding of themselves. The music wasn't my favorite but it went well with the scenes and emotions. Overall, it's good lighthearted drama, I recommend it if you're looking for something that's funny, has a good story-line, with good chemistry between the leads, and overall good character development.

amorous ghost hijinks meets murder mystery meets HEART...

This is one very rare drama in that the second half was a whole lot better than the first half. This is not to say that the setting up of the story in the earlier episodes wasn't entertaining, it was hilarious; however the show didn't balance the story equally enough between the two female leads. Episodes 1 to 10 devoted way too much attention to the relationship between the ghost and the male lead, a lot of the romantic progression, the little moments that mark a blossoming love relationship were shared with the ghost instead of with the real life person Bong Sun; This was incredibly frustrating. From episode 11 onwards show picked up momentum and sailed to a very smooth ending.

The acting is what makes this drama special, the actors appear to have had a fair amount of freedom to express their roles, this is especially evident in the staff dynamic at Sun Restaurant, I enjoyed the warmth and camaraderie of the whole crew at the restaurant, it felt organic, never forced or practised.

Park Bo Young gives an impressive performance as Bong Sun, she has incredible range, from the shy and reticent Bong Sun to the brash and feisty Soon Ae to the new and improved Bong Sun, she encapsulated them all effortlessly, she's definitely a new favourite of mine.
Jo Jung Suk is such a great actor, so convincing and effortless, the chemistry he had with his leading lady is so natural and warm, they were never awkward, always warm and engaged, such a joy to watch.

All the other supporting cast is great, especially the shaman lady.

This is a solid drama if you're willing to overlook the rather aimless beginning; It has wonderful emotional payoff in the last episodes with an extremely satisfying ending.

I didn't notice the music that much, the instrumental pieces are appropriate where they're used.

Overall 8.5 out of 10

I wouldn't classify this as a comedy. It's definitely a drama. There's more serious moments than laughs

The plot was okay and the acting pretty good. Park Bo-Young did a wonderful job portraying two very different people.

The romance aspect of this drama fell short for me. The main couple was very cute and sweet, but there was no heat between them. There was no spark. They had great "friends" chemistry but no romantic chemistry. I didn't buy they were in love.

But I absolutely loved the other four kitchen guys acting like annoying older brothers to Bong-Sun. The kitchen antics were fun!

Great actors, badly aged writing

So I wanted to watch a spooky drama for the spooky season and I've had this one in my list for a while. Park Bo Young is one of my absolute favorite actors and she does not dissapoint in this one either. Although you can see my score isn't that high for this one. Overall I think it's a great concept BUT I don't think it has aged very well. The ghost comes on veeerrryy strong and in 2023 it's kinda hard to watch TBH. This is being justified in that she is a desperate ghost and does not think about anything else but they really paint it as fun and innocent... On the other hand the character Na Bong Seon is the polar opposite, really shy and has no self confidence whatsoever which just makes both the characters very annoying at a start. However they do become better and even likeable as the story progresses. It's very impressive playing two characters and a chracter playing another character etc. It goes meta and Bo Young really does a stellar job. I think what makes me not like this drama so much is the writing which hasn't aged well. Watching it with comments on on Viki really got me through it at times but the last couple of episodes were really enjoyable. Would I watch it again? No, I even thought of dropping it at times ngl but the actors and the stunning corgi kept me in it. Characters that pulled through was the Shaman character, the mom and the restaurant gang. The leads were a lot at times. So actors did an amazing job, concept great, writing not aged good. Those are my thoughts. Feeling warm about the drama now as I just finished it but I also remember the journey... Of to watch Daily dose of Sunshine now. ☀

i really enjoyed this drama. at first i thought it was one of the better paced shows i had watched, but when we got around to the last 5 episodes you're so curious about the Soon Ae's plot that you could really care less about Na Bong Sun, and i realized i'd felt that way for most of the show.

Bong Sun is really the second female lead, her character fading into the background next the the boisterous and interesting Shin Soon Ae. The actress that played Bo Young did an excellent job capturing the energy of Soon Ae, who was so fantastically portrayed by Kim Suel Gi that i hope we'll get to see more of her in the future. Jo Jung Suk was perfectly serviceable. His character was a little blah which made it easy for him to be showed up by characters like Joon and Kyung Mo, both of whom i spent most of the show wishing were the leads.

i cant remember any of the music now, so that means it was neither annoying or fantastic. even though i'm a rewatcher i dont see my self coming back to this any time soon there were a few plot choices made that i felt brought down the over all quality of the drama, it was so nearly perfect these stung even more, and i'm not interested in reliving that.

overall great drama certainly worth your time if you enjoy rom com.

This is a surprisingly good drama. My favorite genre isn't goofy romance, but I heard good things and decided to watch OMGhostess anyway. I am glad I did. The writing is really well done. The story is tied together nicely. What is interesting is the character development of the main lead character that comes across very realistic. Even though this drama is about ghosts and possession everything seems plausible. I enjoyed everything from the suspense to the romance to the comedy. The only flaw is the annoying sous chef.

Park Bo Young did an excellent job as both Na Bong Sun and Shin Sun Ae. I couldn't believe how much chemistry she had with Jo Jung Suk as Kang Sun Woo. They were so cute and funny together. I also liked Kim Seul Gi as Shin Sun Ae. Actually, I just like Kim Seul Gi. I'm not a huge Im Joo Hwan fan because I find his acting stiff usually. However, he was pretty good in this and actually his scene at the end was great. The look on his face spoke volumes. All of the other actors were good also.

The music is nice and I have already added some to my MP3.

I might rewatch this some day.

I recommend this drama to everyone!!!

What an excellent drama! It's up there in my favourites list now with Healer and Faith.

The story was great. It was great to see something totally different. It was well written and the pace was perfect, it was slow when it needed to be slow, and fast moving when it needed to be fast moving. It was quite a simple story but so beautifully told. It was hilarious and it made me cry (I'm not a cryer usually). The writers did such a great job without leaning on tired tropes

The actors were expert. The only one I was familiar with was Kim Seul Gi, which was why I watched this drama. She's fabulous in everything she does even if the drama is not so great (I'm looking at you "Flower Boy Next Door") . The lead actress Park Bo Young was so wonderful to watch. She essentially played 3 personalities in this and was convincing in each of them. The lead actor Jo Jung Suk was great too. I'm not sure why but i really didn't want to like him, but he'd won me over by the second episode. All of the actors were superb. There wasn't a single character, minor or major, good or bad who I didn't care about by the third episode. It's nice to see a well played bad guy who is not a walking cliche - two thumbs up to the actor (i don't want to say who it was for fear of spoilers) for being just the right amount of creepy and the writers - great job!.

Rewatch value is right up there. I would watch this again...and again. It really is a classic drama. RECOMMENDED!

At first, the synopsis made me cautious and wary; as it was never a good sign when the main love interest only start to take notice of a girl when her personality changes 180 degrees. I waited for a while until picking this up; not sure whether I would be able to handle this; however I was pleasantly surprised and happy that I did watch this.

Story
The story was quite unique; as i never really heard a drama about a girl being possessed by a lusty ghost. It took me a couple of episodes to start really becoming more intrigued by this drama, and a couple more for me to completely fall in love. The concept of a guy noticing a girl due to her personality change isn't uncommon, however how this drama was presented gave me a surprise. Although it was somewhat cliche; a boisterous guy disliking and being annoyed with a doormat girl, but sooner or later- he falls in love with the other personality she had displayed. The story was actually had more depth to this as it was paced quite well despite the feeling of the ending being rushed.

Of course, you might think that Kang Seon Woo (Joo jung suk) actually fell in love with Shin Sun Ae (Kim Seul Gi); the ghost; instead of Na Bong Seon (Park Bo Young) however, be patient as everything will be revealed in the end.

Actors
Park Bong Young and Joo Jung Suk had one of the best chemistries I had seen; how their relationship grows from the first episode to the last made me immensely happy at their character growth; and both of them are just too adorable!

However, I know that a lot of people threw hate on Park Bong Young's character since she was literally like a doormat at times and frustrated everyone (including me), however the growth of her character made those thoughts of irritation disappear. Park Bong Young truly is able to show how her character develops with time.

Music
The music was decent; it wasn't terrible as the soundtracks were well picked.

Rewatch
I will rewatch this drama another time; however I may skip some parts in the beginning as I am not a huge fan of doormat characters; however I love Na Bong Seon's character growth so I might consider watching everything once again.

Conclusion?
This drama was worth the watch; I put this drama off a bit since i thought people were over-hyping this drama, but with a pleasant surprise; i think it was worth the hype!

I was sooo sad to watch the last episode of this drama.  I loved it.

The main characters:
I am new to these dramas so not familiar with any of the actors.  I love the chef's (Jo Jung Suk) character.  He was arrogant but I definitely didn't hold it against him.  He was funny and you can tell that there was more to him then his brashness.    My favorite hands down was Shin Soon-ae.  I enjoyed the show better when she possessed Na Bong-sun's body.  I found Na Bong's character annoying to be honest.  I was constantly wishing for Shin Soon-ae to jump in her body to brighten everything up once more.
Officer Choi was definitely creepy the way he went from evil one minute and nice the next.  I don't think anyone who have ever believed that he was the one killing people.  It was sad that he killed Shin Soon-ae without even realizing or knowing that she liked him.
I found myself wishing that the chef would somehow magically end up with the real Shin Soon-ae.  I know she was dead but I really wanted her to have a happy ending.  That should have been her reward for uncovering all of the evil deeds done by Officer Choi.  I loved the chemistry that the characters had.
The supporting staff:
I really wanted them to explore more about Kwak Si-Yang's character, Joon.  At one point, I thought they would have made this a four way love affair because of how both Na Bong-Sun and Shin Soon-ae's relationship seemed so genuine.  It also looked like he was secretly carrying a torch for Na Bong but oh well.

I felt that they rushed the ending.  Most of the show centered around Na Bong and Chef but then they exposed everything in like two or three episodes.

I didn't care for the ending too much.  Like I said...I really wasn't cheering for Na Bong as herself.  My heart ached for Shin Soon-ae when she had to leave and say goodbye to everyone.  I felt that chef could have shown a bit more emotion when it looked like he finally saw her at the end.  It seemed like he no longer wanted to hold her hands when he found out that it was her and not Na Bong.  In my opinion, he really fell in love with Shin Soon-ae and not Na Bong.  He cared about Na Bong but I really couldn't see her as something that would have lasted if Shin Soon-ae was real and alive.  I wonder who would he have chosen?

I loved the shaman's relationship with Shin Soon-ae.  At the end when she was crying when she felt her crossing over really pushed me to tears.  I wanted for them at least to show her in heaven or something doing something fabulous or with a beautiful man like she hoped for but nothing.

All and all...I really loved this show.  The chef had me at hello.  I loved him.
