so many issues of consent going on here

*~* Completion Update *~*

Okay, I finished it. And I stopped hating it maybe at about the 7th episode mark? But I still don't love it, through no fault of the actors. I just don't like horny ghost girl for too much of the drama. Who in their right mind thinks they're not reincarnating because they've never had sex? That's absurd and just, no, on so many levels. And I hated the sous-chef, Rain. Oh my gosh, how can one man be that horrible and chauvinistic?! It was fun to see Suam in this drama since I couldn't stand him in "Switch On" but thought his acting was way better here. So there were some pluses. It helped once there were some confessions that happened and there were some consequences that happened. Ghost Girl toned it down a bit once she actually fell in love with Artit, and ironically, that tamed her behavior a little bit. Go figure. So the changes in some destructive behavioral patterns and actual consequences helped a lot which is why my rating went up. However, the story will always be too similar to "Let's Fight, Ghost" and like I said below, "Let's Fight, Ghost" is superior in every way.

*~* Original Review *~*

Umm, so many issues with this drama. Just the very concept of this drama has so many problems concerning consent. Now, I fall in the middle where consent in dramas is concerned. I usually have no issues with stolen kisses. Probably because a neighbor boy stole my first kiss when we were both 9, so yeah, it happens. BUT, I have issues with a ghost possessing an UNWILLING host to use that host for sex. That's a big red flag in my book. This ghost also has no respect for personal space or someone telling her NO when she gets grabby. I just almost can't. The only reason I'm continuing to watch is because I actually like the Jiw, the human girl. At least, I did, up until the end of episode 7 when she essentially gives horny ghost girl permission to possess her for the whole sex thing. I'm not holding out a whole lot of hope that this drama is going to improve much. I will finish it because I must know how it ends and how much or little I should hate it.

But take my advice. Watch "Let's Fight, Ghost," instead. All Jeen does is try to steal a couple of kisses from Off, that's really the only serious question of consent in the whole drama where the leads are concerned. And it's stinking cute. Naturally, because the ML is SaintSup and he's AWESOME. "Oh My Ghost" is torture in comparison.
