Yes. This is so the perfect Korean drama if you are into that kind of thing, which I am.
You never know what you are getting when you watch foreign TV shows. I've seen my share of drawn-out drama and fucked-up endings, trust me. But this one was just perfect and well worth the time I spent watching all 15 hour-long episodes. And the ending I could almost compare to a Brandon Sanderson series (but that would be blasphemy!) because each character and subplot was wrapped up perfectly like a happy little gift.
So the gist is this: Bong-sun is an aspiring chef who works in a restaurant with the famous Chef Kang and four other hilarious men. She is shy, unsure of herself and apologizes constantly. Also, she can see ghosts. Soon-ae is a vengeful ghost who remains on Earth to resolve her grudge of being a virgin at her death. So she possesses women and attempts to seduce men, but is unsuccessful up until she meets Bong-sun. It really had everything: offbeat humor, believable romance, supernatural plot twists, heart-wrenching moments, and a villain you can root for.
Spoiler alert!
I gasped when Soon-ae pushed Bong-sun away from Chef.
I cheered when Soon-ae's brother punched Chef.
I cried my eyes out when she turned her dad back from the light at the end of the tunnel.
And it made me so very happy when it turned out that Officer Choi lost his memory.
[Insert snarky closing comment here.] Or not. Peace!
