I have never before been thrown onto such an emotional roller coaster while watching a drama. And no, I don't mean that the story was like that, just the drama itself, my watching experience felt like it. I know you're confused, so I will elaborate. Bring it on, Ghost started out really strong. It by no means was perfect or original, but it almost felt like it. There was something really refreshing about this kind of a ghost story. A human and a ghost fall in love?! I am in! I really enjoyed the fact that the romance was cute but that wasn't all this drama had to offer, the comedy and supernatural action were there too. Writers never seem to manage to blend this kind of combination together well but in this case they did a really good job. So what we got was a story about our two main characters each day facing a new excorcism case while the romance and the main mystery slowly progresses. Honestly I haven't enjoyed a show this much in a while. And the characters/cast played a big role in it too. While yes the characters were pretty two dimensional, it didn't bother me at all, because the story wasn't complicated either. Our main male lead is pretty generic, but more realistic. He had reasons for being a little bit cold, but he didn't seem like a total jerk like some main male leads like to come of as at first. Watching him falling in love was joyful. And his acting was amazing, of course, have no complains here. Now Kim So Hyun here deserves a round of applause for her acting. Between her and the male lead was a 10 year old difference but I never felt that, she held her ground like an acting veteran. Just incredible. Her character to was pretty generic - a sassy high school student. But I really liked the fact that she was just plainly badass at fighting and a strong woman in general. Oh don't even get me started on our comedy duo (Lee David and Kang Ki Young). Loved them to bits. The two of them were like a finishing touch that binded everything together. Without them the drama wouldn't be the same. Every moment with them was so funny. Their bromance was a delight. Kwon Yool portraied his role well, can't really elaborate much, because I don't want to spoil things But lets just say that when we actually got to a point where character development was presented for Joo Hye Sung it was rushed and thrown at us just like to get it out of the way. Myung Chul was...meh, he was only there as a toll for the story to progress and while I didn't totaly had no feelings towards him, I didnt get attached or cared about him a lot either. But the Kim Sang Ho himself is amazing, I have seen him in a few dramas and he always portrais his roles really well. Summa summarum - a really good show. I never like dramas this much if they are just decent, because I am very sensitive to flaws. But I enjoyed it a lot, even though I saw the flaws, in the end the enjoyment is all that matters. But then the writers decided to throw at us a plot twist. I am not going to spoil it but I am just going to say If you all were to make a "cliches in Korean dramas I hate" list, 80% or maybe more would put that plot twist in theirs. The plot twist was executed in order for the plot to progress but a) it was freaking annoying ( took me an episode to realise that) b) the whole structure that made the drama so good fell apart. From the 13th episode it felt like I was watching a whole new drama. Both main leads, especially Hyun Ji lost what I liked about them - strenght, in a way they became different people. I hate the fact that for a hundreth time they portray the female lead as a baddas woman but in the end leave her crying for help. And sure according to the story, that is how it was supposed to go, but I didn't like how the main story revealed itself either. The episodes were streched but the important moments were rushed. The answers were not satisfing, it felt like that momment when you ask someone to explain themselves and they just say "well...because". The answers raised more questions that they answered and left huge plot holes. On top of that the reveal was just plainly boring, they were building the suspense for so long and in the end it turned out to be a huge let down. And the fact that the writers left the characters two dimensional took it's tool. The situations that were happening required the characters to have deep psychological portraits for me to care about what was going on but again in the end I felt heartless, because the characters that I seemed to have come to love were annoying, their tears were annoying, because the writers got me invested in the story and not in the characteters so when they took away the story that I adored I was left with a bunch of characters that I cared so little about so unfortunately my love turned to hate really quickly. And the last cliff hanger was so badly placed, it felt like the writers knew that they f'ed up so they desperately tried to keep our attention. The only good thing after the 13th episode was that despite everything they managed to wrap up everyting pretty nicely. I have never hated and loved a drama so much all at the same time. This drama crossed my mind multiple times a day wether I loved it or hated it out of dissapointment. Normally a drama has potential to be good only in its premise, but Bring it on, Ghost had potential to be one of the greates drama's (at least for me) and kept it for whole 13 episodes, but it still failed and I have never been so sad and angry at a drama. Honestly I don't know what rating to give to this drama, beacuse the hight of this drama hit the clouds and the low dropped into a dark abyss. I always wait at least a day before I rate a drama because the score might be biased while the emotions the story left me are still fresh and I can't look at it rationally (yes I take this way to seriously). More than a week has passed and I still don't know what rating to give it. (But writing a review forces me to do it >.
