WAC wasn't a horrible drama, but I expected more. The story line wasn't new...rich guy, poor girl. I thought that some of the plots was good in that he helps her because he thinks she is terminally ill. Seriously cute and funny. I would have dropped this though if it weren't for the actors. It was pretty boring at times and it seemed like the writer threw the story line together trying to make it interesting. I can't post spoilers, but this is a pretty regular plot of parent issues that cause the children problems. At least the step-siblings don't hate each other.

Kang So Ra is one of my favorite actresses and she doesn't fail as Lee Jung Jo. Actually, her character was very likable. Yoo Yeon Seok is adorable as Baek Geon Woo and I liked his character also. He wasn't that much of a spoiled rich jerk. Then there is the most lovable mayor played by Kim Sung Oh. ***insert fan-girling here***

The music was nice.

I won't ever rewatch this.

If you are into a light romance, then this is an ok watch.

DIABETES Alert! This drama contains so much sweetness that it made my blood sugar shoot up!

STORY: This drama is perfect for those who wants light comedy, lots of romance with dreamy characters. I admit that after finishing the first 3 episodes I still could not understand the hype. Then, it started to get better.

ACTING/ CASTt: The story is quite unique but the scenes are full of Kdrama cliches. Typical or not, they were artistically done, carefully executed and beautifully finished. This drama will not be enjoyable for those who have very particular eyes because the story itself is full of flaws. But if you are going to set aside your critical mind and just embrace the beauty of this drama just the way it is, then I can guarantee 100% percent that you will love it. Sometimes, a dish is more enjoyable when it is served without the fancy plating.

Jo Jung Suk (aka Chef Kang) is definitely every woman's dream. He's hot yet so cool, he's rich yet so down to earth, he's overly confident yet the jealous type, he's badass in the kitchen yet cries like a baby for his girl. Most of all, he's so darn sweet that he almost gave me a toothache. And yes, Jo Jung Suk played the character really well. SPOT ON!
While Chef Kang is like a dream, Park Bo Young (aka Na Bong Seon) is the slap of reality. She is like the most women I know. She's hardworking but doesn't complain, humble, helpful and kind.
These 2 actors have the most realistic chemistry I have watched so far. I love the skinship and the real kisses (not the cardboard-kissing type couple in most Kdramas).
But what really caught my eye is the superb acting of Im Joo Hwan (aka Officer Choi). He was hands down the best actor in this drama. The switching of personalities is not easy but it does seem like a piece of cake for Joo Hwan. He's one of the actors that I am going to start to follow from now on.

OVERALL: This is a truly an enjoyable ride in Kdramaland. The characters are so easy to love, so endearing that it makes me hard to let them. I hope that there would be another series that has the same caliber as Oh My Ghost.

Honestly, I was surprised that I enjoyed this as much as I did. It doesn't start off as much, but gradually blossoms into a truly amazing, heart-wrenching drama. The beginning is more light-hearted with scattered bits of humor and even romance, while the second half is more dark and somber. But, worry not - it ends on a very happy note.

[STORY]
As with most shows, Shirato starts out slowly, but gradually learns the trick of the trade and works towards becoming a competent stock trader. He makes a lot of mistakes, of course, but it's fun to see others teach him how to do things right, and you also get to learn about the different methods of stock trading as well. The stock business isn't as easy as it seems.

The rest of the characters are all very amusing in their own ways, from his exuberant mentor, to the even more cheerful and flippant mob boss, to the surprisingly adorable yet nevertheless intimidating mod boss' underling. (who was my personal favorite) Oh, and let's not forget the adorable cat!

I thought the "villian" of the series was great, too. He gives a good contrast to the occasionally selfish
but usually well-meaning Shirato. He values greed, and isn't afraid to do whatever it takes to stay in his position of power and will use any means necessary to get what he wants. It's no surprise that Shirato's mentor wants to take a guy like this (and the bank he is in charge of managing) and knock them down.

[ACTING]
The acting was quite good, especially on Nagase-san's part. All of the other actors also did very well,
without too much of the over-the-top acting we're using to seeing in most Asian dramas. They didn't try too hard to play their parts right, and delivered a nice, above average performance.

[MUSIC]
The music was about average, I suppose. Nothing special.

[REWATCH VALUE]
You could probably rewatch this every once and a blue moon, just for kicks.

Well, if you're looking for a drama to keep you hooked from episode 1 to the very end, this is your drama. My god. From the short description on this site, I was not expect so much from this drama but geez did it keep me hooked for a few days. This is also coming from a person who barely watches melodramas.

Story | The whole doppelgänger scenario where something happens to one so the other fills their place. There's also love, loss, family drama etc. The whole works. Story may be a little confusing at first. It goes back and forth through time to explain situations later on. Also give you a headache from trying to guess what is actual and what is not.

Cast | From the main roles to the supporting roles, I loved everyone who was casted. I haven't watched Ji Hoon in a drama since Goong and it was weird seeing him with this serious role at first. But his acting was superb! His character change was natural and nicely paced. Him and Soo Ae were great together. I liked their chemistry but at times I felt like there was more emotion from Ji Hoon's character and it didn't match Soo Ae's as well as I'd hoped. Even so, I loved them as the leads.
Jung Hoon and In Young were simply fantastic! Their acting/chemistry together was spot on. And you know an actor has done their job when you can't fully hate or love their character.
Supporting cast was great too! Family, friends, loan sharks etc I loved. This drama has me waiting for the day when Hoya gets a lead in a drama. And just have to say, Min Woo's assistant was by far the best supporting character in that entire drama.

Music | Besides the instrumentals for scenes, I don't remember much so my score is low.

Rewatch | It's hard to say. There was much suspense in this drama that it'll be hard to watch again since all the twist and turns won't be as surprising. One day I know i'll come back to it because I seriously adored Ji Hoon's acting but as for now, probably not. That's the only reason my score is so low.

Overall | Honestly, maybe the best drama for 2015. I loved it. Truly. I had so many emotions while watching, god..it was terrible! So many twists and turns to keep you into the story. At some point you may think "ok, really. more?" but I was honestly ok with all the back and forth-ness of it all. It made 20 episode go by fairly quickly and though some may say it dragged, there wasn't a boring episode in this entire drama. Give it a try, at least the first 3-5 episodes.

As of late i haven't been watching many airing dramas, not like i used to. So when i heard about this drama and read it's synopsis i knew i had to wait for it to finish before i even considered watching. All i can say now is DAMN!......I'm actually glad i waited because it would have been stressful waiting week to week for new episodes. With that said i gladly gave it a 9 over all.

The story was new to me in many ways. I'm not a fan of cop dramas for many reasons, main reason being kdramas tend to have the dumbest cops in all of tv history. Gladly, this drama didn't have that. The cops were decisive, alert, smart, and most of all they put two and two together. The story was also a great mystery, i was guessing up to the last episode about who done it and honestly surprised when info was revealed. Adding a cherry on top, physiological thrillers are my best friends late at night; who needs horror when i can watch something like this.

Jang Na Ra and Seo In Guk did an amazing job as the leads, there was enough romance to satisfy my craving but it never took away from the main story which some writers don't know how to do. The supporting cast brought more greatness to this drama adding to the story by giving comedy, sorrow and irritation at the right moments.

Music was on also a selling point, I enjoy a good OST and will download it and even research the artist. This drama was no exception.

The rewatch value is low because idk if i would want to watch it again. The suspense and mystery behind it is all reveled and that takes away from the greatness of the drama..for me. But i would watch it again with someone who hasn't seen just to enjoy their reactions. I would most def recommend it. Whether you like mystery thrillers suspense or just looking for a good drama this should be on your plan to watch list.

Finally a show I can say isn`t overrated! Ah... `My love from the stars` made its way to the top of my favorite drama list. It`s comfortably paced, the ending wasn`t suffocating, it`s very funny and entertaining, the acting was A+ and though I thought he fell way too fast and too hard with someone as shallow and thick as Song Yi, the romance was not vomit inducing - quite the opposite, actually - it had my heart fluttering and boy.... is that a hard goal to accomplish! lol Ahem.
I love Hwi Kyeong and his sexy evil brother, I love Song Yi`s family and everyone working with her, I love the lawyer, Bok Ja, the prosecutor and his partner and even Se Mi... there are many enjoyable characters in the show, which is a relief. I love the flashbacks the most and the little epilogues... I am shamelessly in love with this show and everything about it to even question the plot here and there so this will be just another positive review, sorry guys.
Everyone should watch this.

Wow! I am impressed!
Watching this drama for the first time without any expectation, never did I know how much it will hooked me up! Leaving me waiting and wanting for more every week, so I decided to write this review.

To start off, I would like to give a round applause to Park Bo Young. Man, this girl can act! She did a very good job portraying both a humble, no confidence human and a silly, extrovert ghost. She made me enjoy every moment with her on screen. One moment I will cry with her, the other I will laugh hard with her.

Another thing I'd like to write is regarding when some might say that Jo Jung Suk and Park Bo Young have a very silly romance here, I disagree. I ship them. They hugged whenever they felt like they wanna hug, and kissed whenever they felt like they wanna kiss. They really looked like a real life couple, falling in love with each other character, at the same time, making me falling for them as well. Jo Jung Suk's character loved Park Bo Young's so much, I wish they were real.

As for the music, this drama did offer a subtle and engaging ost. They did not surpass the goodness of this drama itself, and that what made it worth watching. It's like they want you to focus more on the drama (story plot and acting) and not overly done on the ost. It's just feel right and just nice.

Well, I can go on and on declaring how much I love this drama, for the first episode to the satisfying ending, but at the end of the day what I really want to say is GO WATCH THIS DRAMA!!! Like NOW!

I am not sure if it is good drama for everyone it's a little bit confusing.
The only thing that I am sure about that it is really extremely overrated.

PROS:
1-Some parts of the story are unique.
2-There's good thrilling parts in this drama which are the only things made me go on to the end of this drama

CONS:
1-Silly romance relation
2-Over fantasy comparing to known dramas like (The Master's Sun) it tends to be not convincing.
3-A little bit annoying to see many unimportant scenes
4-I see that this drama could be better if focused on fewer elements they tried to show some pro cooking scenes but they neglected the romance the only good thing I see is the thrilling part.

At last It's really annoying to see so many WOW dramas getting low rating and some other getting high like this one higher than "Autumn's Concerto" and equal to "Pinocchio"..really can't believe

Anyway, this doesn't tell that it is a bad drama it good but not as 8.8 rating.
Enjoy!

The drama as a whole itself could be separated into the first part and the second part. In the first part it's all about falling in love, a little drama here and there plus a little running around and hiding truths, it was overall not so dramatic except (maybe) for some parts where the truth could get out if they made the wrong move. The second part is way more intense I kinda feel the writers tried to prolong this part a little too much but at the same time did a good job keeping it condensed enough not to miss any info, in this part there's a LOT of drama, heartbreak, and unnessesary evils that make you feel rather frustrated, to say the least.

I have to admit that it took me a while to be able to finish this one, but even then I enjoyed it more than I thought i was going to considering i picked it up after 4 maybe even 6 months.

Like I said before, I am rather conflicted about the second (and most dramatic) part of the series cause i feel it was a lot longer than it could have been but I still think this is a pretty good series, the actors do a good job and never seem too tired of the circles going round and round and also do a good job of keeping it real so they really do their parts well.

Cliche? Yup. Bad CGI? Definitely. But it somehow manages to pull through, maybe because I'm a huge Danson Tang fan, or I'm just a sucker for long reunited romance, which always happens in vampire stories. You're probably wondering if I'm a Twilight fan. Yes, guilty. So DO watch this drama if you liked Twilight, and if you're a Danson Tang fan (if you are then you MUST watch this drama as he is the hottest he has ever been, portraying a vampire). Watch the version with his original voice!

Plot wise, like I said earlier it's pretty cliche. Nevertheless, the execution was still decent enough and entertaining. It has all the things a drama should, a funny comedic relief actor, some good friends, an annoying antagonist, and family. I have to say, the ending isn't that great but I guess it's happy *enough*, but still left me a bit hanging. Aside from that, the romantic development was pretty fast, since it's only 9 episodes, so there's little to no dragging (which is great!). The plot really is similar to Twilight, but much better chemistry between the leads, and no sparkling vampires. The antagonist is to be expected, and that plot line wasn't that irritating. It's also set on a university campus, so I really liked how it was a campus romance.

Even though I easily fall in love with drama OST's, this drama's music was very 'ehh'. It seriously was not special, probably because I expected more, much more. Even now, I don't remember any of the songs which is rare ( if you look at my other reviews you'll see why).

Re-watch value is not that high, mostly because the only version available I could find was pretty low quality, which isn't easy on the eyes. Disregarding that though, re-watch value based on purely the drama could be high, after all it's only 9 episodes and if you like a cute but cliche vampire love story. I recommend this drama a lot; it's so unfortunate how not many people know about this drama. (8.5/8.5)

This was one of the most passionate Taiwanese dramas i've ever seen. It doesn't have a simple story like other Aaron Yan dramas and Aaron Yan looks way better with that black hair in this drama. Actually story is really complicated but i like it. It wasn't an ordinary love story like other Korean and Taiwanese dramas. Ending wasn't satisfying because of female leads and story. Final episode was really boring. The thing that bothers me most in this drama was Veronin Lara (Lan Die Fei). She may be a good singer (not that good) but she can't act and this is my personal opinion but she is also not good looking. If you watch, you can clearly see Aaron Yan's incredible acting skills in this drama. So this couple didn't match well in my eyes. Alice and Jie Kai couple felt good. I especially loved male leads' acting skills. It was ok, i liked the passion and love in the story. But i don't think i'm gonna rewatch.
