My gut feeling tells me this show had no intention of being viewed by the male audience but hey, it could just be me.
The script came off as very amateur like which made the show hard to watch as I found it pathetic. It generally followed this basic plot (mostly in the 1st few episodes) - someone dies; their ghost bothers Tae Kong Sil for help; Tae Kong clings to Joong Won at every chance she gets while fulfilling the ghosts request; some unrealistic and pridictable climax occurs where ghosts request is completed so it does some cheezy interaction with its living loved ones before finally leaving. Things improved a bit in later episodes but the grassroot problems remained constant enough throughout the drama to mark down its quality.
There's just so many things wrong with this drama that made it unbearable to watch. None of the important relationships are scripted well enough to make sense or feel natural. The CEO of a company puts up with this random woman clinging onto him with very minor resistance because she claims he makes ghosts disappear (I mean she's survived b4 she met him so wtf). She survived for so long with ghosts but still freaks out at every ghost she meets (was kinda cute but still stupid). And they try so hard to scare you with every ghost scene (which got annoying fast cause I'm like get on with the story already, there are more clever ways of being scary sheesh). Much of the plot felt like a copy and paste from other dramas (even characters) so you get bombarded with cliche drama stuff used in boring and predictable ways (least they could do is use cliche stuff in interesting ways). The list could go on and on really.
If youre looking for a romantic ghost story with more intelligence and a plot that isnt this sloppy then I'd reccommend Arang and the Magistrate. This was just a bad waste of time imo.
