FYI, I watched this drama while thinking that this is the second season of Cheo Yong haha.. silly me.. --"
Okay, now let's get to the review.
In terms of story, overall, I am quite satisfied with it. I believe that it provides a good balance between horror, suspense, and humor. I enjoyed each episode although it does not really make me feel 'okay-i-need-to-watch-the-next-episode-now!'. However, there are some things that could be improved. First, while I feel like the drama focuses on Na Young, Sun Woo and Cheo Yong, their story only evolve in the last 2 episodes. The cases solved in the previous episodes do not seem to relate to the main problem; although they are interesting, I could not help but wonder why are they there in the first place. Second, the ending is confusing for me. I could not grasp the ending because it seems off in relation to the previous scene (you will understand what I am talking about once you watch it). Third, the editing and shooting... (I know this is not related to story but it does affect the flow of the story - for me). I could not focus on watching and processing the story because of the poor camera technique. It is fine up to episode 6 where sudden zooming starts to occur. Maybe the cameramen and the director are trying to create suspense by zooming after every phrase.. but sorry.. it failed. [Eg of awkward zooming: You know *zoom* I found out that *zoom* the suspect *zoom* might be here *zoom zoom*]. Moreover, there are some messy camera movement between characters too [Eg: Sun Woo *drag camera quickly everything is blurry* Cheo Yong *repeat* Sun Woo]. Fourth, they do not really explain on Cheo Yong's history. They just expect us to accept the fact that he is a ghost-seeing detective without telling us why is he that way. They did drop some hints, but they are not developed until the end.
In terms of the acting or cast, not so special but not bad too. The main leads and the officer team are quite good, although there are some parts which do not look natural for me (eg: Oh Ji Ho's crying scene on the bridge). I also do want to give 2 thumbs up for the cameos, they all did really good! Hope to see all of them in more dramas in the future! Among all of the casts, Na Young really catches my attention. She is such a lovely and cute character; the drama will be very boring without her.
In terms of music, hm.. to be honest, I am not a music watcher. I dont really pay attention to the music when I watch a drama. However, since I do not have any 'eh-what-music-is-this' moment, I assume the music do match the scenes :D They are not so special tho, they do not give me an earworm after I finish watching.
In terms of rewatch value, although I enjoy watching this, but it does not leave that much of an impression that would make me want to rewatch it again. So, nope, not really high rewatch value.
Overall, I do enjoy watching this drama and I recommend this for you guys who love horror or mystery based dramas :D
