It was good... but I have criticisms

---- STORY ----
The story seems very platonic and unappealing, but the execution was amazing. At first I started watching the drama without much expectation, but I was pleasantly surprised.
My criticism about the story is that I don't see the point in bringing in the man who spent 3 years with Gong-sil. Like why even appear towns the last 2 episodes? We could've done without him and his story.
By episode 10, I was checking to see how many episodes were left of the series, and not in a good way. I think this drama ran 2-3 episodes too long and by episode 16, I was debating just not finishing it at all.
I also found "Hee-Joo's" ghost SO annoying. She always just stood there and never said, like, ANYTHING. And yet the whole thing revolved around her ghost.

----ACTING----
Ji Sub was so charismatic and amazing in his acting. I loved his "get lost" and emotionless expressions, they were so hilarious!! Hyo Jin was also really amazing, and we all know she's just a good actress in general. She made talking to nobody seem so realistic, and she completely changed personalities when possessed by the piano player's wife.
The only person I have a problem with is Yi Ryung. I don't know if it's Yoo-ri or the character herself, but she was not only annoying, but not properly executed. All she did was yell and talk in a baby-ish way while being confident. I didn't see the appeal at all and I haven't watched enough of Yoo-ri's drama to know if it was a problem on her part.

----MUSIC----
Nothing AMAZING, but there was one song that I really liked.

----OVERALL----
I would suggest watching it even if you're put off by the synopsis, because it's so much more than it seems. There were a lot of heartache moments, and funny moments as well.
