Bring It On, Ghost: Season 1 - all episodes

A college student with psychic abilities takes in an amnesiac ghost as his roommate -- who ends up helping him hunt down spooky spirits. (Netflix US, tvN Korea)
The Fangirl Verdict review: "In a drama landscape where big budgets and loud buzz grab most of the spotlight, Bring It On, Ghost is, quite literally, the little drama that could. Nestled in the midst of other dramas boasting bigger names, bigger budgets and bigger hype, it’s easy to overlook this show – everyone’s got limited drama hours to spend, after all, and isn’t it natural to gravitate towards the dramas with bigger names, bigger budgets and bigger hype? If you’ve ever been bitten by a show that starts out fabulous but then crushes your drama hopes to smithereens by derailing partway through, though, you might just appreciate Ghost. It’s got its flaws – minor inconsistencies and some pacing issues – but it just chugs along in its understated way, and is relatively consistent from start to finish. Which, if you’ve been hurt by a drama before, is a pretty solid achievement not to be sniffed at."
Dramabeans episode 1 recap: "tvN’s new ghostbusting drama is weird, irreverent, darkly hilarious, and I absolutely love it. The world it sets up is creepily funny and odd, the characters are strange and quirky, and yet I find myself immediately liking them. It’s hard to describe this show in words; you really just have to see it for yourself."

I've been enjoying this! Although slowly. I think my favorite character so far is the hapless monk.

wow I thought that was Ara Go, who I just saw in Black (which I need to make a post for). It's probably due to similar trends of plastic surgery in Korea, but that's a whole other topic. After finishing Black I've been craving another fantasy Kdrama. I might give this a watch!

I haven't decided which is my next Kdrama, maybe I'll go with Black.

Anyway, I thought this was fun - the horror aspect was mild, in that the ghost special effects were creepy without being truly horrific. (Oh, except there is one scene of animal mutilation/murder - mostly offscreen, but with lots of bone-crunching sound effects, be warned.) The love story was sweet, and the comic relief of the two 'Ghost Net Club' students made me laugh a lot. I agree with the Fangirl Verdict review about the pacing problems. But if you're looking for a horror-lite rom-com, this one's worth a go.
