The Master's Sun (2013)

Relatively fine.

I'm not much into the spooky-based shows, especially with the "I see dead people" twist, but I was pleasantly surprised by The Master's Sun. Although the spook factor is toned down as the show progresses and the show turns a bit into a slice of life-y, pseudo-romance-y, melodrama; take that as you will.

While the ghost story lines are directed pretty well, they are sometimes awkward and logically head-scratching. The cinematography is uncreative and the dialogues are oftentimes stiff. And yes, a lot of the classic K-drama tropes come into play as well:

- dismissive man meets pitiful woman romance
- arrogant woman falling in love with the uncaring man romance
- amnesia plot device
- "bad step-mom" character
- airport scene

The climax of the show where all the "big reveal(s)" happen--- were unexciting. An anticlimactic, awkward ending sequence featuring an unconvincing villain resulting in an endgame that just sorta... happens?

And the show never stops annoyingly beating the proverbial dead horse with the "sun" wordplay. Female lead is the Male lead's sun; big sun, little sun, The Master's Sun; yeah I get it... enough already.
