. I was so disinterested in the plot that it took me months to finish, and most of it was while I was sorting and folding laundry. But all that changed in the second half when the series veered from the repetitive plot of a horny ghost wanting to bed a handsome chef, and turned into a thrilling murder mystery.
Bong-Sun is a mousy dishwasher at a high-end restaurant owned by celebrity chef, Sun-Woo. She has inherited her shaman grandmother’s ability to see and talk to ghosts, which leads to sleepless nights and general malaise. Soon-Ae is a ghost who needs to ascend to heaven, but she refuses to do so without fulfilling her final wish: to lose her virginity, even though she has to possess an unsuspecting woman’s body to do so.
You know what’s going to happen next, right? Soon-Ae jumps into Bong-Sun’s body and tries to seduce Sun-Woo, who is confused by his worker’s aggressive change in personality. This goes on for way too long and I initially didn’t like any of the characters. But as the back stories were filled in, I really fell in love with Soon-Ae (especially) and Bong-Sun. Sun-Woo is, of course, very good looking. But I didn’t like his barking personality and I didn’t find his character particularly charismatic.
Oh My Ghost
The moments Soon-Ae (as Bong-Sun) spent with her father and younger brother were some of the best elements of the series, as were the vignettes with Soon-Ae and Seobinggo (Lee Jung-Eun), a powerful shaman whose gruff demeanor covers up a heart of gold. Seobinggo fears that if Soon-Ae doesn’t voluntarily ascend from the ghost world to heaven, she will turn into a demon whose afterlife will be nothing but pain.
Ultimately, when we die, it’s the living who suffer. And no one wants to prolong loved ones’ agony by leaving unanswered questions.
Spoiler Alert: The series gets really interesting when it reveals the true nature of Sun-Woo’s brother-in-law, Sung-Jae (Lim Ju-Hwan). Seemingly kind, he is devoted to his wife, Eun-Hee (Shin Hye-Sun), who is wheelchair-bound. But it turns out that quite a while ago, he was possessed by an evil ghost. He ran over Eun-Hee, crippling her. When Soon-Ae tried to help Eun-Hee and realized that he was the perpetrator of the crime, he killed her. He set it up to appear as if she had committed suicide. Soon-Ae wasn’t able to ascend to heaven because of her lack of sexual experience, as she had thought. She was roaming earth to make sure Sung-Jae was caught before he could kill more people … which he did.

What was lacking in this storyline was a brief flashback to show viewers when he became possessed and what he was like prior to it. Seobinggo points out that there is a shift in his energy from earlier photos (where he was good) to his current self. As it stands, it’s difficult to figure out if his gentle demeanor was always an act, or one that the ghost emulated to get his way.
When Sung-Jae realizes what has happened to him, he jumps off a building, seemingly to his death. But the final episode shows that now has quickly emerged to become one of the most popular romantic comedies of the year with its superb cast and acting. The story centers around our three main characters, renowned chef Kang Sun Woo (Jo Jung Suk) of Sun Restaurant, his kitchen assistant Na Bong Sun (Park Bo Young), and a ghost with a virgin grudge Shin Soon Ae (Kim Seul Gi). Hilarity ensues when the ghost possesses Bong Sun, a normally reclusive and unconfident cook, causing her to suddenly transform into an outspoken, forthright maneater who begins to target the good-looking chefs in the kitchen.
Already within the first few episodes, I have cried deeply, laughed hysterically, and fallen in love with the characters. I like that

Spends time developing the backstory of each of the leads. Although Bong Sun and the ghost seem to have vastly different dispositions, there is a deep sense of loneliness that emanates from both of the main female leads. Thus, the audience’s anticipation builds knowing that somehow their lives will change for the better when their paths cross.
The ghost is perfectly cast with Kim Seul Gi. I had heard that she was hilarious in her previous roles. Indeed, her acting is refreshing, likeable, and funny, with just the right amount of sass so as not to be annoying. We learn that she has a virgin grudge: she never had the chance to be intimate with a man so her spirit can’t leave until she has fulfilled this desire. Hungry for men, she possesses female bodies to seduce her victims, but unfortunately, none have been men of virtue (enter male lead). Unlike other Korean dramas,
Doesn’t reveal how Soon Ae dies or dwell on how she copes with the shocking discovery of her shift to the spiritual world. Instead, our ghost is already a veteran spirit, which adds a sense of mystique and moves the storyline along much more quickly to the meaty parts.
The Great' Stars Take Us Behind The Scenes
As for Park Bo Young, I vaguely recognized her prior to this drama, but now I will be on the lookout for all of her future roles. Her interpretation of Soon Ae’s character is so on point that it actually feels like Soon Ae has possessed her. Not only that, the switch from her original apologetic personality to her new feisty persona is so stark that you eagerly look forward to how her dynamics with the male lead will evolve. I am impressed by how Park Bo Young excels in her bipolar acting and how she does such a consistent job of exuding a vibrant energy without being too over the top.
Kang Sun Woo is equally loveable. Although he initially acts ruthlessly and seems to be an arrogant hothead, we quickly discover his softer, more charming side. He isn’t easily lured by attractive women, he playfully flirts with ahjumma seafood vendors, he works hard to pursue his passion, and he’s surprisingly gracious to his employees. The other assistant chefs at Sun Restaurant also add liveliness to
With their own distinct personalities and constant bickering. Overall, the first few episodes are very engaging, with each of the main characters showcasing interesting narratives. The storyline is simple, clear, and well-written, and the restaurant theme jives very well.

Becomes even more gripping thanks to an unexpected revelation in Soon Ae’s death and the identity crisis between Bong Sun and Soon Ae. Although at first you take Soon Ae’s death for granted (since she started out as a ghost), the drama starts to allude that Soon Ae wasn’t kept on earth because of a virgin grudge but because there is a mystery to be solved regarding her murder. Little by little, clues and flashbacks are revealed that are not too obvious. I enjoy plot twists as much as the next person, and
At the same time, Bong Sun finally becomes creepily aware of Soon Ae’s takeover of her body. As Soon Ae continues to take Bong Sun’s body hostage against her will, she draws closer to Sun Woo, who subtly displays concern and interest towards Bong Sun. However, what intrigues me is that even when Bong Sun is not possessed, the chemistry between the leads is still there. The question we all have is: who does Sun Woo really like? Needless to say, there is never a dull moment.
Spends time to cultivate the character depth of the main leads during this section of the drama. Bong Sun and Soon Ae eventually befriend one another when they realize that their goals are similar. Soon Ae can help Bong Sun expand her long-term crush towards Sun Woo into a real relationship as long as Bong Sun lets Soon Ae use her body to fulfill her grudge. I would’ve preferred if the drama had developed their friendship more and included more scenes where both Bong Sun and Soon Ae are interacting, as opposed to having only one of the female characters active at a time.
Oh My Ghost (2022)
At this point, I am completely shipping the two main leads. The chemistry is unstoppable! I’ve never seen anyone smile the way Sun Woo does when he’s with Bong Sun — it’s just too honest and heartfelt. At first, I was really relieved when Soon Ae took over Bong Sun’s personality and gave her a backbone, but now she is becoming a little too aggressive for my taste. Instead, I want to see how Bong Sun does by herself, as she’s starting to build boldness and a voice of her own.
A shift occurs when Soon Ae starts to develop real feelings for Sun Woo. She realizes that her affection for him may lead her to hurt Bong Sun, whom she is jealous of but also cares for. So Soon Ae immediately retreats and lets Bong Sun live her own life. There is a palpable change in Bong Sun’s confidence. I like how she is no longer the soft-spoken, clumsy kitchen assistant that she once was.
I’ve surrendered to the fact
