And P.S., this was my first historical drama as well as the first drama I have watched over 24 episodes.

As you may have guessed from the synopsis, it is a family drama but most importantly this drama focuses on how this family grows through hardships and coming in terms with reality. This drama was a big no-no for many Koreans because it involves homosexuality, SBS had to actually cancel the drama because of the huge criticism.
The drama deals so in depth with the issue looking through the different characters and opinions as if one character represented one side from society, e.g. does who support homosexuality, does who are against it, etc. It contrasts, the traditional societal views with modern views. Additionally, numerous other issues come up such as issues between step parents and step children, in-laws, marriage, birth secrets, love triangles and many more. It really shows what could happen in a family situation. (It is not all seriousness, there is fun times and lovey dovey ones as well ^^)
The actors did a great job throughout the drama and I can't emphasise enough how good it was. I remember watching any other drama that the actors have been in because I got to like them so much during this drama. After a few episode you get really into it.
I really recommend watching this drama and hope you will enjoy it like I did :)

I love how cute the acting is and how its all lovey dovey and funny. I've actually rewatched this a couple of times.
it didn't really have any downsides its also short so its perfect to finish in one sitting while snacking on something and you don't really have to worry about losing interest because its short.
I would definitely watch this again if I wanted a quick dose of fluff.

Story: It was refreshing to see vampirism as a form of virus. I would say Ji Sang's drive to continue being a doctor despite his vampirism was commendable. However, I kind of liked it better when he was actually doing doctor operations and stuff rather than roaming aimlessly in the hospital. The pinch of romance was okay too what with the dangers lurking just around Ji Sang, he needed something to ground him.
Acting: Ugh, I don't know if I should say sorry for saying this but seriously the acting made me cringe and ask myself why I was watching this drama at all. Ahn Jae Hyeon and Gu Hye Seon had NO chemistry together which is so frustrating. Ji Jin Hee was the only one that could act but even his acting couldn't save this wreck of a drama.
Rewatch Value: NO. Just no, I just want to move on.

The story itself it's a little bit like a cliché but feels unique and fresh at the same time.

I really enjoyed this drama, I was pulled into the story as soon as I re-watched episode 1 and I could barely keep my attention away the few days that followed ^^ This drama never got draggy or boring in any way to me - it had good pacing and even flowed with some real history events - like the Imjin war they introduced toward the last 2 episodes & hinted at in previous episodes. A lot of people commented saying how disappointed they were in this drama, whether it be acting, story, or writing - but I loved it - every aspect of it! And it even made me itch to want to make some ceramics myself lol The romance was beautifully written in both aspects Tae Do & Gwanghae's love for Jung Yi <3 I loved both of these guys - of course I shipped her with Gwanghae - but I was never against Tae Do. A drama where I can love both my leading men ^_^ It ended how I expected it would. I cried during episodes 30 & 32 :"( It has a realistic ending, which is rather sad and slightly depressing but in it's own way still romantic.
Lee Sang Yoon as Gwanghae did a great job! I thoroughly enjoyed his role, the way he admired and loved Jung made my heart beat fast ^^ Kim Bum as Tae Do won my heart as Jung's Orabeoni, he staked his life and entire existence on protecting her <3 Moon Geun Young as Jung Yi was very well played, started out as a girl who was raised with ceramics teaching but didn't care for it until later and when she started to learn she went all the way. Imhae was funny in the beginning and I laughed a lot during his scenes but later when he started to be more cruel - I just disliked him. I also really liked Il Nam & his pals who always hung around Jung ^^ They were such a kick! :P
Music: I'm especially fond of Bobby Kim's song 'Forever You' and Park Ji Min's song 'I Love You' <3
I will probably re-watch this drama again sometime in the future ^^ and I'd recommend it.

Since I've watched the anime and read part of the manga, the plot wasn't at all surprising to me. But I did think that they did a nice job of choosing the right things to leave in a take out. While I would love a completely accurate anime-to-drama adaptation, it isn't realistic. They did a really good job of keeping in the most important plot points.
I wasn't familiar with any of the actors in this show so this was my first experience with them. I found that they all fit their roles very well! I especially enjoyed Kyouya! Tamaki was hilarious, of course, and the rest of the cast was great. I loved how Nekozawa got a bigger role as well. His ominous aura and random appearances were hilarious.
The music was kind of quirky. It seemed to be a lot j-rock, but it was catchy and fit the show well. I actually ended up enjoying it.
Overall, I'm really glad I watched this drama adaptation. It helped fill the hole that the nonexistent 2nd anime season left in my heart. I'll definitely be watching the movie soon!

The characters eventually grew up on me. The fact that they are no one specifically but could be anyone else. It shows that you can always change and grow, no matter how old you are and the setbacks you’ve had, and that change is not just made of you but also are greatly influenced by those around you, even if you try to get away from them.
Now, apart from this philosophical message, I blame mostly the writing for this, the dialogues were just superb. The quirky and fast pace ones, the silly and random ones, the ones that were actually monologues… all of those were the soul of this drama. There is not a main goal that sets the pace of the story, there is not really a chain of events, it is all about this strange group of people that manage to make abnormal into what we all wanted to be.
Yes, it is not your usual romance comedy drama, but you can definitely laugh, you can cry, tears of joy and sadness, you get mad and you get sad and you get happy and you want to punch and hug someone… (You get the idea)
The OST has two memorable songs: Hoshino Gen’s SUN, the opening theme, which I think was really well chosen, and Florencia Ruiz’s Susurro. I totally loved that they used this Spanish singer, I had never heard of her, but I loved her music in this drama.
The acting was superb from most characters, specially Sadao and Tomoko. I had never watched anything from her and though some people say she was exaggerating and could truly feel her and I think she added great humanity into Shizuka. Was not really fond of Mizuhara’s acting, though I understand she was just playing her character, but still…
There were however some points I didn’t like. First, like I’ve said they failed to catch the viewers in the beginning (but don’t lose faith, you won’t regret it). And they they just added characters they were completely unnecessary and forced them into the story. You’ll see who I am talking about. :p
Overall, if you are looking from some smart drama, out of the routine we are already tired of, this is it. You won’t regret this!

If you like this kind of action, thriller, suspense, horror, type of drama than this is for you. What made this this even better was the acting, just superb! I found myself intrigued and involved in each of the bad guys, so if you looking for a complete action thriller with an outstanding cast, must see this if you have not already.

STORY
The description is pretty much on point. We have an everyday kinda weird girl who can see ghosts, a rich, shut-down, arrogant and self-centered man who for some reason, whenever she touches him, ghosts vanish... Exactly for this reason she tries to be near him, so she can touch him whenever the ghosts become too scary for her. I guess, you can all get where it goes from this point forward.
The show is pretty straightforward. Each episode has an individual ghost story. The 2 main characters get to solve them all, and grow closer to each other through them. The male protagonist has a ghost story of his own which gets explored later in the show. I, usually, get bored with individual stories, i prefer the drama to focus on the main characters instead of introducing new stories and characters in every other episode. Thankfully, all the individual stories were very interesting, most of them extremely touching, they made me burst into tears, so if you have a problem with individual stories, they won't bother you at all, they are great.
The main problem i had with the story was that, the show focused more on the individual ghost stories in every episode rather than the drama of the characters, and the development of their love story until episode 12. After that we focus on the backstory drama of the male lead character and everything gets extremely interesting, extremely fast. Thankfully, the individual stories were good, so each episode was fun to watch, i just felt the main character stories should have been developed more in the early episodes.
Another problem i had was the love triangle failure, and the fail of the writers to create better story lines for the 2nd male and female lead. The 2nd male lead was introduced to create a love triangle to the main couple. The main couple has such jizzling, amazing, and unrealistic chemistry that the 2nd male lead had no chance, so he gets ignored fast. The 2nd female lead brought nothing new to the show apart from some funny moments, if she wasn't there at all, the show would still have been the same.
ACTING
It was very good, apart from some cringy crying scenes from the female lead, everything was on point. I've seen better, but it didn't feel forced or anything. It was a solid performance from everyone.
REWATCH/RECOMMENDATION
This is a drama that everyone should watch at least once. It is funny, it is interesting, never boring, it has the right amount of drama for drama lovers, but not enough to drive off those who don't really like to cry or anything.
I would definately rewatch it since it is so easy to watch.
RANDOM THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SHOW
I can't say i was as impressed as everyone, but it was a very nice drama. I think if the plot was unfolded in a different way, it could have been even better. The back story of the male lead, is huge and extremely interesting and well written, the show should have not payed so much attention and spent so many episodes on individual stories and it could have given all this screen time to explain the back story better, earlier, maybe make it a mystery or something. We get very small pieces of the backstory in the early episodes, and then fast revealations during the episodes that focus on it. Still, this is not enough to say the plot was bad, it was very good the way it was, and it gets explained very nicely even in the 3 episodes it is given to get unfolded.
Also, another minor problem i had towards the end of the show, was the silly reasons they gave the main couple for not being together. They are just there, crazily in love, dying for each other, having no problems whatsoever, and they created them with no reason... I wanted to punch the screen and throw my laptop out of the window. However, the finale was everything i wanted so i am happy!
