'Oh My Ghostess' - a 2015 South Korean TV series of 16 episodes and 1,000 heart melts.

You know how there are some dramas where you don't expect it to be irresistible because the lead actor is not your typical almond-eyed, big hands, tall and hunky dude? Hence, you don't think that you'll be tempted to finish the drama at all. That was what I expected out of this paranormal dramedy. However, second episode onwards (we all know the first episode of most k-dramas are a drag), I was pleasantly surprised when the credits rolled and I was still staring at my screen with a slight smile, waiting for the countdown to end and the next episode to start playing on Netflix.

*Disclaimer: Spoilers ahead*

The lead actress (Na Bong-Sun played by Park Bo-Young) is positively adorable! I had already watched her in Strong Girl Bong-Soon before so I was familiar with her "tiny bean" self but I am not exaggerating when I say, her character is much more likeable in this show. She plays a timid and unconfident assistant cook in the restaurant of a head chef, who she has always been secretly interested in. A virgin ghost possesses her body, who has a completely contrasting character to Na Bong-Sun, and manages to gain the chef's attention gradually - although, it is debatable which version of Na Bong-Sun finally wins his heart. This show encompasses a major character development for her that feels very heartwarming to experience as a viewer.

The male lead Kang Sun-Woo is played by Jo Jung-Suk, who I had earlier seen as a special appearance role in Legend of the Blue Sea as the main female character's fake mermaid boyfriend. Here, he portrays a narcissistic chef and restaurant owner that turns out to be the perfect ratio of jealous:concerned boyfriend.

Personal Experience: I started the first episode at 9:00 PM on Friday night and watched 10 episodes non-stop, with only water and toilet breaks, till 7:30 AM on Saturday morning. Repeated the same the next night and completed all 16 episodes by 3:45 AM on Sunday. I may have overdone it, but do not underestimate the number of butterflies you will experience in your stomach when you watch it.

Goes without saying, that while the love story is blooming, there is an evil ghost spirit murder mystery scenario developing parallelly, which was actually not as interesting as I'd like it to be. But, no pain; no gain I guess.

Special mention to Jun (A.K.A Cordon) in the show who acts like Na Bong-Sun's understated best friend that is always looking out for her. It helps that he is quite an eye-candy too.

Recommended to:
-Strong Girl Bong-Soon/Legend of The Blue Sea lovers
-Beginner K-drama watchers
-People that are prepared to Youtube search "Oh My Ghostess best scenes", "Oh My Ghostess bts" and "Oh my Ghostess interviews eng sub" to help you get through the post-show blues

Fun Fact: Park Bo-Young had her first onscreen kiss on this show, but you'll probably find this out (and more!) when you're urged to begin your research upon finishing the show.

Closing comments: Watch this if you are missing your boyfriend and definitely if you do not have a boyfriend. Watch this if you're in a k-drama slump and need a pick-me-up. Watch it if you're easily amused by hyperactive but cute flirting and possessive boys that act like guardian angels.

Just watch it, and thank me later.
