Kdrama Review: "Ghost"

I do such a crappy job trying to talk about dramas.  I want to be able to tell you enough about the show without giving away something important.  Takes me hours to type a review because I read it and re-read it and then re-read it again to make sure it's okay.  It becomes a hassle to even start because I don't have a lot of free time.

Found someone who does a great job reviewing and I'll post as many of +Sarah Lantz's reviews as I can.  Just reading this one earlier today, made me add "Ghost" to my list of dramas I need to watch!





Review:  Ghost

Ghost is one of the best KDramas I've ever seen.  I was fresh out of "Two Weeks," looking for something with action and suspense, but got so much more.  There are good cops, dirty cops, and a superhero hacker!  And of course, a good bit of sexual tension.

The main attraction is Kim Woo Hyun (played by So Ji Sub of "The Master's Sun"), on a die-hard quest to reveal serious corruption. He and his partner, Yoo Gang Mi (Lee Yeon Hee) work in the cyber investigation team.  They're tipped off that a famous hacker (Daniel Choi) might be behind the apparent suicide of a young actress (Esom).

Looming behind it all is the megacorporation, Sekang, headed by the mysterious Cho Hyun Min (Uhm Ki Joon, Scent of a Woman). And I need to mention my favorite character and secondary lead, "Crazy Cow," (Kwon Hyuk Joo), because the plot has a serious bromance and this was my favorite dude.  He was out of his f*cking mind.

But if the action and mystery alone aren't enough for you to watch this show, there's more:

-An entire episode devoted to the performance pressure on high schoolers.  Enough to drive them to murder.  Or is it suicide?  Either way, it's a necessary nod to what those poor kids go through on a daily basis.

-A phenomenal soundtrack (as a musician, I'm super picky with that stuff)

-Nothing felt like "filler."  The entire show was edge-of-your-seat

-The Phantom of the Opera is featured

And finally .... <drumroll please....>

-A Body Swap!

What else do you need??  Give this show a try.  The acting is amazing.  Nothing is as it seems.  Except for maybe Crazy Cow:)

Coming Back

I've been idle again for a while but that doesn't mean I haven't been watching any dramas.  I have been watching a lot.  I updated my lists last weekend and had every intention of posting that I had but I got a little busy and I never got around to doing it.

You know I'm all about the screenshots and less so about episode re-caps.  I'm going to TRY and talk about episodes after I watch them.  I'll see how I feel about posting just enough to get you to watch but not so much that there is no reason for you to watch because I pretty much told you everything.

Currently I am watching only 2 dramas (both of which I am behind on) but I'll be adding another one or two this week.
