Well, first of all, I'm a girl that is terrified of anything horror, so much so that I never watch anything that would scare me but that all changed with Master's Sun. I am relatively new to k-dramas, I only started watching them in May so the only actors I knew in Master's Sun really was Seo In Guk and Myungsoo, I was excited when I saw that they were in it, so I decided I would try to watch it, and I'd bear it when I got scared. I did get scared, but after a few episodes you get used to the ghosts and they weren't as frightening then, but I still jumped when some of them would appear.
Acting/Cast - I loved the entire cast, I think they are all very talented people. As I said, I'm new to the world of k-dramas so before watching this I didn't know who Gong Hyo Gin(Tae Gong Sil) was but she really impressed me. I love Tae Gong Sil and Joo Joong Won's chemistry a lot. After watching this, I love her acting so much and I'm going to check out more of her work. I thought her acting was amazing, she was able to deliver such a funny performance, then move on to a very emotional one. She made me cry, laugh with her, be scared with her, and smile with her. I think she's really cute and such a beautiful woman, I'm excited to find out more about her.
So Ji Sub(Joo Joong Won) is one of my favourite actors now, and after seeing his performance in Master's Sun he blew me away. He makes me want to watch ALL his work. I think he did a great job being Joo Joong Won and after doing a little research about him, It was his first romantic comedy drama?(I think) I feel proud that he did such a fantastic job, and "get lost" with forever stay with me.
Seo In Guk - I loved his character. After seeing him act in Love Rain, I fell in love with him, his acting and his smile. Those dimples are so adorable. :3 I think he played a very interesting role and it was so great seeing him be in a suit most of the time.
I loved Tae Ri Ryung's character.
I've been a fan of Yoo Min Kyu since seeing him in Shut Up Flower Boy Band, and I was delighted to see him have a guest role. I thought he gave a great performance.
Music - I think the soundtrack was perfect, not too overbearing and every song that was used fit really well into the scenes. I loved all the songs. Nobody by Wonder Girls is the song that leaves the deepest impact on me, and when you watch it you'll understand why.
Story- I think this story was fresh, and original. The characters were very interesting and well developed overall. From the first episode, I was hooked and I ended up watching all the episodes in only a week(finishing last night) The reason why I'm giving the story a 9 is because I felt it was missing something. I wish they had went into the background of Tae Gong Shil and Joo Joong Won a little more and explained more. Some things left me wondering and thinking about after I had finished, and I wish they had expanded on them, especially Tae Gong Sil's "guide".. his back story and her accident.
Rewatch value - 9 for me. I'll definitely watch this again, but not for a while because I don't think I'd enjoy it if I rushed straight into it, but I think it is well worth my time watching it for a second time in a few months.
Overall - I enjoyed every episode and the end of each episode excited me to keep watching. It was definitely romantic, I smiled through a lot of the scenes. I cried a lot especially in the middle episodes, and jumped back from my laptop screen quite a lot when I got scared. As I said, I'm not one for anything to do with horror but if you'd be like me and terrified of things like this, don't worry, you'll be grand. The horror side is there but a lot of the frightening elements loses it's impact when you learn about the ghost's lives before they died. You end up being sad for them. I told myself when I saw the teaser for Master's Sun I wasn't going to watch it because I didn't think I could handle it, but I'm so so happy I did! If I hadn't had my curiosity get the better of me, I would have missed out on a wonderful drama, a heart-wrenching, funny, achingly sad one. I was very satisfied with the final episode, I thought it was very sweet. I'm looking forward to watching more of the Hong Sisters work and keeping an eye out for future projects too!
This is my first review so I hope it wasn't too bad!
