Remarks

by FanFanX

[First Impression (Ep1-4)] Love the three guys. But not a fan of Han Bom (or perhaps it's because of Kwon Na-Ra) and dread the "romance" here. I would much rather follow the cases here with the ghosts.

[Actors/Actresses] Joo Won has a great voice. Also super excited to see Yoo In-Soo at his best in this – silly! (He makes a great baddie but I much prefer this.) 

[Behind the Scenes] 

Eum Moon Suk shoving shoving Yoo In Soo looks too real here. 
The trio and the adorable Seo Woo Jin. 

          Eps3-4. Halmeoni and Han Bom. Bonus, Joo Won's pout!       

          Eps10-11. Park Doo Shik, portrayed Kim Yoon Cheol, and Eum Moon Suk's flashback scenes.

          Eps14-15. Joo Won needs to recover from all the crying. As did I! 

 

[OST] Full OST.
