As a young child, Jung Se Ri made a shocking discovery – that ghosts are very real! The thing is, only she seems to be able to see them. Not only that she also has the ability to converse with spirits, and has learned. She knows how and why ghosts appear, and why they so often “haunt” the spots where they died. Her special talent has remained a tightly guarded secret and now she is an adult, she works part-time in a coffee shop. Until, that is, she encounters the most unusual ghost she has ever met! This ghost is named Song Ji Chan, and until he was suddenly killed in an accident, he was the arrogant heir to a highly successful and wealthy business group. The accident, he thinks, has robbed him of his memories and leaves him hanging around the scene, wondering what has happened. But when he comes across Jung Se Ri, she tells him that he is a ghost. She leaves him to get his head around what has happened, but he follows her home, insisting he has nowhere else to go. She reluctantly lets him stay at her house, and even starts to help him uncover the truth about what happened to him – even if it means she has to become involved in the business group’s operations! But could this ghoulish “roommate” also fall for the only woman who can see him? (Source: Viki) Edit Translation

Could have been an interesting story but the execution failed.
My Chilling Roommate is about a girl who can see spirits and a "ghost" who clings to her while trying to figure out his identity.First, I have to say that the ghost trio stole the show. Even though they irritated me, they are what made this show memorable. And while Jung Chan Woo is a nice visual for the drama, it seemed to me that show was trying to use his idol power to sell itself. The camera spent way too much time focusing on his face instead of moving forward with the story.
I was truly disappointed by this drama. I usually enjoy ghost themes, but this one had too many directing and production flaws to make it enjoyable. Although some of the characters were "ghosts" (souls, ghosts, and demons), they weren’t the only ones that seemed disconnected. The dialogue and acting of most of the cast was amateurish. Couple that with sudden melodramatics, and it makes the story have no depth. It’s like watching a university stage-play. However, the interviews at the end of the episodes are amusing, and showed much better, more natural acting. And the fact that there were in-character interviews shows imagination.
The in-drama music seemed displaced. It was more distracting than mood-setting, often being too loud. The intro/outro song and the final song were appropriate and to my liking though.
The director for this drama is credited for several short-length dramas with a fairly narrow cast selection. Better budget, lengthier episodes, and more talented supporting actors would definitely help with creating better shows.
