The fisticuffs begin on Bring It On, Ghost
by girlfriday
The action is just getting started on tvN’s summer horror comedy Bring It On, Ghost, which features an odd-couple relationship between an exorcist and the schoolgirl ghost who moves into his home. The webtoon that the series is based on has the two leads meeting in a violent, epic showdown where both sides are shocked that the other keeps fighting back and not dying. Leads Kim So-hyun (Page Turner) and Taecyeon (Assembly) are busy learning fight choreography for their scenes, and it’s pretty cool to see Kim So-hyun taking on a badass action role.
The new Monday-Tuesday drama stars Taecyeon as a college student who moonlights as an exorcist. It’s a fancy term but he’s not expelling them by supernatural means — he mostly beats the crap out of ghosts until they flee whatever place they’re haunting, because he can see and touch them. That works fairly well for him until he meets Kim So-hyun one night while he’s on the job, and she surprises him by fighting back.
She’s a high school senior who died before being able to do the one thing she lived her whole life for — taking the college entrance exam. She’ll take up residence in the exorcist’s house and begin to discover that life (or the afterlife, rather) can be full of fun and excitement beyond studying.
Kwon Yul (One More Happy Ending) will play a mysterious vet, and Kang Ki-young (Come Back, Ajusshi) and Lee David (Mirror of the Witch) play Taecyeon’s friends and members of a supernatural club called Ghost Net. In the stills it looks like a super geeky club that watches reruns of the The X-Files and makes videos about hauntings or something.
In Taecyeon’s character teaser, we don’t get much else beyond him running through the streets to chase down a scary ajusshi ghost. I like the behind-the-scenes clip of him and Kim So-hyun in fight training, because they look like they’re having fun and getting into the action, which is promising. Plus, Taec tells the trainers that Kim So-hyun’s character is technically supposed to be a better fighter than him, which makes me very happy. Pint-sized girl kicking ass and taking names — what’s not to love?
Bring It On, Ghost premieres July 11 on tvN.

Feeling wayyyy more optimistic about this show now. Taec looks younger with his hair like that, and as long as KSY's character is badass and awesome I'll probably be able to look past his acting shortcomings. And besides, maybe he's improved. Hope springs eternal? (Ignoring the age gap for now...I always thought any love story with a teenage actress would creep me out, but Mirror is doing surprisingly well.) In any case, I'll definitely give it a chance!

Finally, one thing that Taecyeon is good: acrobatic action moves.
Since he is a good dancer and 2PM often performs acrobatic choreography.
I'm excited to watch Kim Sohyun to play as badass ghost. This girl rocks!

Ok I started reading the webtoon last night and I made it through like.. 45 chapters in less than 3 hours.
The start was ultra hilarious, but then it got more serious and dark. I'm curious how the drama is going to balance those elements out, but by the looks of it so far, the drama seems to be taking a different direction completely. The addition of new characters like the friends & the vet are a completely new concept. (in the webtoon, Bongpal is a loner, he has no one by his side)
I'm curious about how this drama is going to go, I hope it's entertaining. The webtoon sure is. I'm off to read the rest of the translated chapters now lol.

Starting to look forward to this more. It's immensely satisfying watching Kim So-hyun take down people bigger than her, haha.

Taec's so cute...I await the day he's able to convert his natural charm into acting ability (although I do think he's been improving step by step. Baby steps I guess).
Not happy with the age gap but at he's playing a college student and it's still better than the discrepancy in Mirror of the Witch (which disgusts and infuriates me, and it's supposedly a really good drama so it makes me even more mad that I can't watch it).

Very nice fight moves by Kim. Looks like she picked up those moves really well.

Here come the mental gymnastics since people are so easily swayed... This trend will continue with no problems. So please let's drop the faux anger act that bubbles up everytime a teenager is cast with an adult man in a kdrama!

Everyone's got something to say about Taecyeon but is no one gonna mention that Kim Sohyun plays the exact same character in literally EVERYTHING she's in?

Now that it has all come to this, all I can hope for is that the show delivers. I just can't dislike Taec when he's so adorable in real life so please please please, I hope you've improved. Best of luck to us who are thinking of watching this. Prayer circle, anyone?

Aww my baby Sohyun is learning to kick ass! Yeo Jingoo and Kim Yoojung both said Sohyun is the shy and quiet type, so it's great to see her pouring it all into acting.
