This was the first show I truly enjoyed while it was airing -- so much so that I wrote a "currently watching" article. Now, with a little distance, I see the flaws in it. This is a drama where the character development was rich and quick, but the plot dragged on too much. That's why I rated the story 7.5, because while the central questions were very intriguing, notably the cause of Soon Ae's death, they were only really addressed in the last episodes of the drama. But still, while I felt that on the whole this drama's themes weren't well balanced, the quality was pretty consistent from start to end. I think this has to do with what really stood out in this drama, which were the characters. Chef Sun Woo, shy Bong Sun, brash Soon Ae, the policeman Sung Jae, Sun Woo's sweet sister Eun Hee, the cool and likeable second female lead Lee So Hyeong, Sun Woo's meddlesome but endearing mother, the reluctantly friendly shaman, Soon Ae's brother and father, and of course the hilarious crew at the restaurant: all these 14 characters were perfectly cast, and it really felt like the director managed to bring out what was special about each one of those actors, down to the more minor roles. Somehow Oh My Ghostess managed create a world of characters that felt very alive, all while keeping a strong focus on the romance between the leads. The background music blended well with the story, only what was truly nice were the songs sung by the two actors. Park Bo Young's song was especially pretty, and I felt the sweet, slightly melancholic mood of that song matched the drama perfectly: Oh My Ghostess is truly a gentle drama, where one can wholly empathise with the characters because of some hidden flaw, weakness or insecurity -- and this goes from the leads to the villain. Something that touched me was the way this drama sometimes showed the gap there can be between a person's inner life, and the image that person projects exteriorly to other people. Bong Sun was a person with passion that came across as dull, Sun Woo was someone very unsure about himself, but who learned how to appear confident, Soon Ae was a very sensitive and caring person behind her loud antics, Sung Jae was someone deeply troubled with a happy mask, and the list goes on with Joon, the mother, the shaman, Eun Hee... Despite the blurry romance line for a couple episodes (was it Soon Ae or Bong Sun the chef loved?), it was very touching from the three points of view. It was nice that all characters involved were ultimately respectful of one another other, and never turned petty or jealous. I loved how Sun Woo was so open about his love, not only was it written allover his face but he also expressed it a lot through words, and in the way he touched her so affectionately. Those are definitely scenes I could rewatch over and over. It was also very agreeable to see a drama where the role seemed tailor made for an actor, since there were many references to Park Bo Young's size and many things very specific about her (often in dramas characters just fall in love, but neither one ever talks about specific things about the other person, so to me their love doesn't feel real, but rather like a script with interchangeable actors). The fact that Park Bo Young and Kim Seul Gi were both as short one as the other was also a nice touch, and it made seeing them together quite funny and endearing. So overall, that the mystery plot could have been more evenly distributed along the show doesn't bother me too much, because I'm much more into character development -- and there sure was a nice collection of very unique characters, as well as a romance that felt like the actors were in love for real. Park Bo Young was of course amazing, as everybody says, Jo Jung Suk was completely charming, and Kim Seul Gi managed to be both comedic and deep. I definitely think this drama is worth a try, but stay away from it if it's a fast-moving mystery plot you're looking for! In terms of events, this drama is sloooooow (though I do like that)...
