Fun

This drama was fun to watch. There were times when I had tears rolling down my face and my stomach hurt from laughing so hard. This romantic comedy leaned hard into the comedy aspect, and it was truly delightful to enjoy. There were refreshingly few cliches (yes, I'm sure some would protest that "but past lives intertwined" but it was done in such a unique way that it doesn't feel like a repeat of the usual tropes at all). The progression from disinterest (or even mild dislike) to friends to lovers between the leads also felt new - and also led to some of the funniest scenes imaginable. It's really no surprise at all that the writer of Mystic Pop-Up Bar provided us with another fantastic series, and I look forward to watching more dramas from this screenwriter in the future.
The cast was, for the most part, well chosen. Park Hae Jin and Jin Ki Joo were perfect in their roles. and the 3 ghosts portrayed by Go Gyu Pil, Jung Suk Yong, and Park Seo Yeon provided much of the comedy that made this such a fresh and delightful drama to watch.
The only real problem I had with the drama was that the OST was not particularly engaging or enjoyable. It was a real letdown for what was otherwise such a delightful watch.
