The only way for me to describe this drama is a more mature, yet still silly, version of Bring It On Ghost (2016 Korean Drama). When I decided to watch this, I was in such a weird funk - a combination of being super bored and not being able to go outside because of my county's stay at home order, but also nothing seemed appealing as I was getting over a cold. I had been binge-watching another drama the previous day and had to stop because all the episodes had not been released yet and I was becoming antsy, as I only wanted to find out what was going to happen next. Then, as I was scrolling through Viki, I found this drama. A "Thriller/Romance," with, what I thought was a star cast. So I watched it. And to put it simply, it was super satisfying to watch. It was a basic drama, but it had elements of a ghost thriller (a few jump scares) and an emotional rom-com. I teared up once or twice because of Kang Yeo Ri's backstory and I couldn't help but giggle at her and Ma Jo Goo's friendship. This drama just, "hit the spot," and it didn't seem like it was a 2-hour movie. It was well-paced and a lot more entertaining than a few drama movies I have watched over the years, but not enough for me to give it a 10. I would 100% watch it again and would recommend it if you are wanting to watch something cookie-cutter, but with a horror twist.
