A very unique love story where romance is not the focus
The last episodes break all the misconception the viewers and even the people inside the drama have about her being a weak candy girl to the male lead. You have to be older to actually understand the push and pull of this drama and why the female lead take certain life decisions. Perhaps because of the language barrier, it wasn't always clear why he takes certain decisions regarding their relationship. The dialogues are actually hilarious and the ML's cynicism is top notch. I love all the side chracters too and I only have the warmest memories no matter how many times I finish this drama. There were many nice life lessons too and the ML also realises how he could have handled things differently and spoken differently, unlike many arrogant rich man poor woman dramas.It will always be one of those dramas that are home to me and I must admire the clever brain who wrote the climax and all the really nice subplots that intertwin to nicely with the journey of the main leads. I still always cry during some of their adventures together and this drama has a very special place in my heart.
The ending was perfect, with a closure and new beginning for everyone.

The storyline, actors and everything in it is very enjoyable. I love how the story progresses and how the actors are so damn adorable! A scary, funny, romantic drama that I haven't seen for a long time! I mean other KDRAMA series are good too, but this series will make you giggle and stuff! Even if I am disappointed sometimes in the story the characters in this series is very entertaining to watch, some parts are predictable but I like how you can predict and see everything watching the drama! You will not be disappointed!
I recommend this KDRAMA very much!
That's it guys everything is positive in this review because all the elements in this show fills up the gap!

Лично у меня две ложечки дегтя. Первая, это иррациональная нелюбовь к Со Ин Гуку, а ведь говорят звезда сейчас, ну вот не нравится он мне внешне, аж до дрожи.
Вторая, как бы лучше объяснить. это тот текст, который почти в каждой серии хоть раз, но произносили главные герои. По мне - памятник надо ставить актерам, которые могли запомнить те словесные конструкции, которые им понаписал сценарист. И боюсь, тут дело не в переводе на английский/русский, оригинал похоже был таким замудренным, что напоминал какой это эпос, что ли. Коряво объясняю, я знаю, но... вот так причем с окружающими все они общались нормально, но как только поворачивались друг к другу - начинались словеса.

Story: As I said above, if you like ghosts and creepy scenarios, this is the drama for you. The first half of this drama has some great ghost scenes. I also like that this story also has romance and comedic elements because I think it rounded out the story quite well. One issue I had was that it seemed as the drama progressed, the ghosts disappeared...which was disappointing to me because I was watching this to be scared and with the second half of the drama, I really wasn't scared at all. I wanted the episodic ghosts to be more relevant in the second half of the drama but I understand why they sort of disappeared...BUT STILL! NEEDED MORE GHOSTS!
Acting/Cast: To be truthful, I watched this drama because of So Ji Sub. I heard he was great and I heard right. For me, He was the best actor in this drama HANDS DOWN! I loved him and his interactions with the character Tae Gong Shil. Now the actress who played Tae Gong Shil wasn't bad either but I did find her character to be annoying in some parts. The character I liked the least was the model, Tae Yi Ryeong. I thought she needed to grow up and not be a child for most of the drama. She annoyed me a lot (a big NO NO in this drama) Lastly, I thought Seo In Guk was good in the drama. He didn't wow me but he wasn't horrible either. I did like his character's interactions with Tae Yi Ryeong. Oh and another small thing, there was this support character, the other security guard...HE HAD SUCH AN ANNOYING LAUGH! I COULDN'T GET OVER IT! I know it is small and weird that I would concentrate on that but I just couldn't get past that.
Music: I loved the main OST that played when the 2 leads were together. I thought it complimented those moments well and it was memorable.
Rewatch Value: I would watch this again...Probably fast forward to my favorite scenes but I would watch it again
Overall: Another huge issue I had with this drama was the number of episodes in the drama...I do not think it had to be 17 episodes long...It felt very drawn out in the middle and17 episodes seemed unnecessary. The problems/storyline that were being drawn out in the second half of the drama could have been resolved in 14, 15, 16 episodes EASILY!! Other than that. I thought this was a very entertaining and fun drama filed with ghosts and romance...I loved how it ended! Be sure to bring the popcorn and be scared (at least in the 1st half of the drama).

Besides Joo Joong-won, my other favorite characters were Secretory Kim and Tae Yi Rung. There are so many loveable secretorys in kdramas but Secretory Kim is one of the best. He is a shipper like the rest of us and is almost more of a fatherly figure than anything else. You can tell just how much the main guy adores him and needs him. I adored Tae Yi Rung...she was the freaking highlight. I thought I was going to hate her since usually the woman who dislikes the main actress tends to be horrible but she was an absolute joy. At times I felt she was much more interesting than Tae Yang.
This Drama starts off in the scary side but after a couple of episodes it ceases to be which kind of goes with Tae Yang getting more used to the ghosts. The stories behind the death of some of these ghosts and why they haven't moved on are also a big part of the drama and really is where are all the heart lies. I cried many times.
I wish it could be explained why Joo Joong-won was the only one who is able to make ghosts disappear for her but they did explain how she comes to be able to see ghosts.
Overall, Great drama! A must watch :)

You should watch this one.
You would recommend this to others.
You could watch this again, yes.
Sojisub is an amazing actor and he proves it yet again in this one. Though I didn't much care for his hairstyle in this drama, that takes a complete backseat in front of his superior acting. Gong Hyo Jin is another amazing actress and both of them as a lead pair give a performance that is worth watching.
The supernatural element just adds to the uniqueness of this drama. It does get a little boring in the middle but then it picks up again soon.
The acting is just so good that you can't help liking everything they do; you can't help liking this grumpy man!
This is definitely worth watching.
You will be missing some great acting if you skip this one.

I absolutely love it, I've been trying to watch it for so long but never started this time I finally watch it all episodes honestly it was very fun to watch, at first I lowkey hated KW bc I thought he was using TGS & JJW father and him were a threat I thought he was a bad person but I discovered the truth I started having second lead syndrome lol but at the same time I wanted him to fall for TYR bc even though she was a slightly bit annoying she was cute & funny her reactions were priceless when she's with KW. JJW aunt got on my nerves too much but I couldn't hated her bc I've seen her in way too many other dramas where she's nice so. As for JJW secretary he was amazing I like how he was with his boss also when I realize the truth about CHJ pretending to be her sister I was dead mad good thing JJW didn't believe anything she said that was shocking to me I never expected that plot twist, love the ending, love it overall but I still wish we had more & more scenes of the second lead couple specially at the end they were made for each other. The OSTs in this drama are so freaking good a 10 from me. In conclusion I enjoyed it it was worth watching I will definitely watch it again even though not soon but I will. Definitely recommend it you won't regret it each episodes were fun to watch! ¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
Mix of Horror, Comedy, Light and Sweet Romance.
This is one of my Favt Kdramas of all time. I have watched this drama over and over. So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin did such a fabulous job. They had great chemistry. In fact, the entire cast were brilliant.When it comes to horrors, I'm usually jumpy. This has an even amount of horror, comedy, drama, mystery and romance. The stories were great and every episode, something happens to keep you hooked. Some dramas just drag on. This one is a winner for me and I don't get tired of watching it.
This was one of the older dramas, and compared to the more modern dramas, this still beats them. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

A light drama to binge watch during quarantine
I decided to rewatch The Master's Sun during quarantine as I had such good memories about it. I remember watching it for the first time in 2013, while the episodes were still airing weekly and I was crazy about it. About watching it for the second time, I am not disappointed and still feel that it is a lovely drama to watch with good music, good actors and, overall, a great storyline.I definitely fell for So Ji Sub and loved his acting (it was also my first time watching a drama of his) ; he can portray a big range of emotions, joy, sadness, jealousy, which was very nice to watch. I loved his character, feeling like watching a little boy in a CEO's body. I had already watched dramas with Gong Hyo Jin, so I had no doubts about her acting skills and she did such a good job performing Tae Gong Shil. Their chemistry is no joke and I loved the whole development of their feelings.
As for the second leads and supporting characters, it was nice that, for once, we did not get the mean and vicious mother in law that would try to meddle with the main couple's relationship. I personnaly loved the character of secretary Kim, always supporting the ML feelings. The plot with Kang Woo and Tae Yi-Ryeong was, for me, not so necessary and did not add so much to the storyline, but they were still nice scenes to watch.
I really enjoyed watching the ghosts' stories and each episode was well rounded and made me cry so much.
I still feel that the whole "shelter/candy" relationship was a bit forced and tiresome as it lasted for such a long time. They could have tried to develop the main couple's relationship without making them use that excuse.
Also, the whole story with Cha Hee Jo, even though it was one of the main elements of the story, was kind of boring, and as I watched it for the second time, I kinda wanted to skip most of it.
Anyway, it was and will remain one of my favs, no matter how many newer dramas come out, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone !

The arrogant typical male lead is never my cup of tea but every story about the ghost and how it resolved, slow burn between the leads and how they both actually opened up and needed each other, the chemistry, the soundtracks were great too.
Honestly, the ghost scene could be pretty horrifying at first but then I'm used to it.
This is the drama that made me continue being a K-Drama fan.
One of my faves from Gong Hyo Jin for sure.
