Def the spookiest teasers I've never seen! 😉 I'd like to see them?

Isn't KBS one of the Kocowa partners? I don't see anything at all on Viki that Ghost Detective will be aired in the U.S. It seems 90% of the dramas I'm excited about seeing aren't available on any legit stations. And they wonder why people go to illegal sites.

I was a little shocked to see Daniel Choi out of his signature clean-cut, glasses-and-suit look that’s become one with his identity over the years, but let’s just say I’m not above watching a horror drama just to check out scruffy, five-o’clock-shadow Daniel Choi.

Same.

I seem to be picking up shows with the creepy factor. Sometimes by accident. It does not make me braver however ... one area in which the adage 'practice makes perfect' does not seem to apply!!

A crime-mystery is always a lure for me, ghosts make down-to-earth crimes otherworldly and it will be interesting to watch Daniel Choi finally play a different kind of character. 😉

By the way, Daniel Choi appeared on this week's Happy Together without glasses and looking, well - different. Perhaps a sinister-looking handsome, not sure, couldn't put my finger on it. Then, halfway through the show, he had his glasses on and there was the cuddly handsome Teacher Biscuit Daniel Choi I'm used to. Both ways, either way, he's charmingly handsome! Looking forward to Wednesday!

I'll always have a soft spot for Daniel Choi because Ghost was the first drama I chose to watch on my own, but...

I did drop that drama when he changed from So Ji Sub-So Ji Sub to Daniel Choi-So Ji Sub because boy did I like him and I also kinda dropped it cuz I liked Daniel Choi and I was like THAT'S IT? HE'S NOT COMING BACK?

lol i was such a shallow drama watcher (still am)

That poster and show description looks promising. So I may need another non-romcomy drama to watch with 30but17 and GangnamBeauty once Life ends to balance things out.

Sorry to be a downer but how many more 'ghost' storylines are left for k drama writers to churn through? We have had so many...

Park Eun Bin is one of my favourite actress ! She always has a great chemistry with her costard even if they're older than her. And she could play serious or comedic role :)

Choi Daniel is looking really good like this :p

Wait wait... so this is a different drama from Devilish Joy? So he has 2 dramas airing at almost the same time?

Gosh horror genre is a genre I avoid like a plague no matter how good it is... That's how timid I'm . Lmaooo
Surely i have to learn to watch it so i can little braver.

I accidentally saw the trailer and I.am.excited. Between this, Kim Jaewook/Kim Dongwook's Guest and the new Nun movie, September is a good month for me XD

This is my first Daniel's drama and he is looking damn handsome(it's only me or he has western look) and the plot itself is very attractive so, i'll definitely check this out.

You had me at "film noir".

Paranormal stuffs??? Ehhhhh 🙄 No. No, thanks.
No, no, no.
It must be hard to earn a living being an actor. 😐

It turns out this is exactly the kind of show I love. The editing is a bit choppy so I'm a tad confused when we jump from scene to seemingly unrelated scene. The cast is great and the cliffhanger was excellent. Looking forward to seeing the next episode.

Is it very scary? I don't want to watch if it is too scary

*spoiler*

Omooo they said he catches ghost, where as he himself a ghost? What a twist we have so far in episode 4? (have a hunch with the unidentify body in the morgue but he looks real when he find Yeo weol at home and not until that last scene in episode 4)

The "red lady" is creepy! I don't like horror/thriller but I will give this drama a try :)

This sounds like it’s just my cuppa tea. My Hubby will probably watch this as well. 👍

Since we're probably not going to get a recap thread, what say we hang out here to chat about this show?

I've watched Episode 3 and have been somewhat bothered by it, but I've not got time to put my thoughts into words yet. If anyone wants to weigh in on the show, I'll be happy to read ya!!

Thanks for the invite! Just finished epi 4 omg Lee Da Il 😭😭😭

The Ghost Detective - Episode 4
SPOILERS
SPOILERS

I believe that the reason for so many reveals so soon about the red villain and more than 1 character with the power to see ghosts, is the show's way of introducing all the characters who may/will form the team to end her killing spree. What looked random may somehow be threaded together.

I've been trying to come up with a way to refer to this particular villain, or rather of the crimes. We have psychopaths who are serial killers, but they generally commit murder with their own hands. We have villains who manage mind control, and they are usually awake. But what we seem to have here is an astral projection of a coma patient with amazing powers of mind control, of tele-portation (of self and others) and even of the ability to read minds/fears/emotions because she knows how to play on the weakness of each victim. So do we have a serial suicide-and-murder-inducing, psychopathic astral projection on our hands? 😂

Episode 5 thoughts- Little spoilery

Finally some explanation about da il's transportation problem. It kind of makes sense, but also kinda doesn't? I mean, why do you have to turn bad to pass through doors?
Also shin jae ha! Finally they introduced his character! Does it seem like he's connected to Da il? They both said the same thing- Only listen to good things. I know that's too flimsy of a connection, but given that yeo wool also considered it...
Also what is the male nurse's deal? Why is he helping the ghost (or whatever she is). That guy also performed well as the possessed father in the first week of Hand- the guest.
The time that she's supposed to return to her body- if she has to keep to it, then maybe plan your crime a little before so that you've enough time? (I'm not a psychopath). Why couldn't you have lured him before 12? Also do you need to be told the time? Because until yeo wool yelled out the time, she wasn't disappearing?
In retrospect, this is a very weird question.. But moving on...
finally our team is assembled! Will be good if the lawyer joined too.Happy to see the police guy finally start to believe in something which goes beyond his logical understanding. But, I get the feeling he's going to have a one sided crush on yeo wool, when she's starting to like da il more ( Am I the only one feeling that?). Also his senior seems suspicious. I don't know why. maybe just because of a few lingering shots of him whenever his junior is dealing with this case? Or it could be perfectly normal behaviour too, seeing that his junior is acting weird. After all this show has a totally reverse concept of what is normal and what isn't.

Episode 6
I don't really know how I feel about this show, 6 episodes in. I guess I will watch it, but I don't find it particularly compelling. The hook for me would be that the protagonists have succeeded by this time to make me like them, very clearly. However at this stage, I'm only vaguely positive in my attachment to them. I want them to succeed only in so far that they are good guys and trying to stop the evil one.

The mystery of who, why, how was revealed so early that I'm wondering what next great twist the show will come up with. Usually, I'd be full of anticipation, but for this show, I'm not too confident.

Aside from our Det Park who gives Seo Wool those looks, I don't feel any strong connection between the other characters, whom are to play quite important roles in bringing down our baddie. I feel we need more interaction between the team members and less silent looks and sighs.

Ep 5-6 was slow in the sense that our ghost detective himself was at a loss about what to do next and how to gain control over the physical world. 5+ episodes of being (pathetically) ineffective has taken a toll on the pace. I was much relieved that by Ep 6 end, he has found a way to take matters into his own hands, literally.

Unintentionally funny, Det Park's reaction over the phone when he heard that Seo Wool had gone to 'attack' the coma patient. I found his shout of horror laughably OTT.

Thoughts:
- At their rate of running off for hours on end, both Det Park and Coroner Chae Won are going to be in trouble with their bosses.
- At least Sang Seob is given a bit more to do this episode. He was feeling and looking pathetic, complaining about being left out. He might have been at least the comic relief.
- I hope that Kim Gyeol, Lawyer Baek and Reporter Kang have more of a role to play.

Back to questions:
- We still do not know why Da Il can only touch Seo Wool and the hearing aid, do we?
- Why should the hearing aid allow Seo Wool to hear Woo Hye's voice. There's a deeper connection between her sister and Woo Hye?
- What is the connection between Reporter Kang and Da Il that he agreed to write the 'fraudulent' report when he heard Da Il's anem?
- Is the spirit in the tramp the same big spirit that had possessed Chae Won as a child? It's very useful that when asked, these spirits give a whole lot of useful information on how to defeat gain power or how to defeat other spirits. 😏

Plus point: The child actress who plays young Sun Woo Hye is good. She's extremely chilling, more so than her adult counterpart.

Ep 7 Thoughts and Questions and Spoilers
@growingbeautifully @linda-palapala @lumiere @superwhopotterlock @mary @stpauligurl @halabek @rochinipark @ar @debbie @kai55 @natzillagorilla

(1) I really liked this episode! I give props to the writer for revealing things about this ghost universe in a well paced way and all the answers are well timed.
(2) The reason why Lawyer Baek is not asking too many questions is answered well without taking too much time from the show. I’m pretty confident we’ll find out when the timing is right but I can’t help but feel like the kidnapped kindergartener’s dad is involved in this.
(3) Complaint but not a complaint... why is Red Lady alive? How? Why doesn’t she have a hole where her tracheostomy was? (Health care professional concerns lol) I guess it’s good that now she can officially be accused of her crimes but this gave a twist I wasn’t expecting and I love unexpected twists 😍
(4) Seriously... I don’t know why they have YeoWool here. She is there but isn’t. She’s almost the source of why/how Da-Il formed this team but she’s just there and that’s it. Maybe an additional motivation for Detective to be in the team but what else? Where’s the spunk? Where’s her strength?? Where’s all the intuition that led her to Da-Il in the first place??? I miss ep 1-2 YeoWool.... 😢
(5) ChaeWon and Lawyer Baek are killing it in this episode. Especially ChaeWon. I love her relationship with Detective and now I ship them. I am curious though, all this time I thought she could hear Da-Il! She only senses his presence?? But how she can see this one grandpa ghost? She cant see any other ghost though? Why? I’m sure it’ll be answered soon but it does pique my interest.
(6) I loveeeee Kim Wonhae!! He nails the PI role. I’m so glad he comes out and really shows his emotional side this ep. Combined seamlessly with that PPL it was pretty masterfully done.
(7) So Da-Il is not evil by moving objects? Didn’t Chaewon say otherwise in the beginning? Why did his eyes turn red then??? This part is quite confusing...

Episode 8 &9
Spoilers ! Beware !
Hello Fellow Ghosters !
It has been a while since I've joined you here. I had the flu for a week then I was busy for another, but I kept up with the show.
I am sad to say it did not live up to the premiere episodes. At times it seems they are just throwing everything at you and it feels too much. It is hard to keep up with everything happening.
1) A terror attack. Carried out by Kim Gyeol. Aghhh. I was interested in his back story when it was pretty clear he knew about the Red Lady and her involvement in Yi Rang's death but now I do not care about him one bit. The only thing I care to know is why Sunwoo spared him until now. Out of character for her. She would use Yi Rang's death to get him to kill himself immediately after, I would think.
2) Whatever Lawyer Baek is plotting ( with or without her Boss's knowledge ) feels excessive. I mean we already have a spiteful immature former evil spirit that is somehow alive and kicking now (She also managed to understand how to use a cellphone and video call pretty quickly .... while my parents struggle with facebook to this day) and managed to retain her mind control powers. The last thing this show needs is more intrigue in the form of the Lawyer and the Reporter !
3) The detective finding out about Yeo wool and Da Il's special relationship from Chae Won and then putting the pieces together ... my heart breaks for him.
4) The end of ep. 8, with Da Il disappearing ... that reveal was worth all the lackluster episodes that preceded it. Although this is a Kdrama, I truly believed he was completely dead, No-WAY-Around-It dead, Not-Even-a-drama-writer-would-dare-bring-him-back dead. So when he first disappeared, I thought, "New Power: Teleportation" and waited for him to show up behind Sunwoo on the computer screen so he can save the girl. Imagine the position of my lower jaw when he opened his eyes on what appeared to be a pillow on a real bed and we find out an old lady is apparently taking care of his body wherever it is.
5) That Tulle Poofy Skirt Sunwoo Hye was wearing was so very childishly her .... loved it
6) Da Il and Yeo Wool's reunion: I knew she was getting attached to him in a very serious way. I knew she was relying on him for more than his help with avenging her sister. But, damn, that's how you hug family. I don't know how I feel about him pulling away when he understood how much she cares about him. In the beginning of the show they were easily holding hands and grabbing shoulders and I liked that considering that Yeo wool was still grieving and she was Da Il's only connection to the world of the living. I feel him holding back while she sinks deeper into her emotional co-dependency. However, I still get their relationship and I understand that times of crisis enhance feeling ten fold.
7) That Detective Park was outside the door and heard Yeo wool's tearful outpouring of emotions was just an extra bang ... poor guy
8) How...
