I haven't watched that many kdramas this year but, for me, this is the cutest couple of 2024. Also, my guilty pleasure is the classic kdrama scene where the leads act lovey dovey and the poor customer facing person will assume they're married or dating. It's funny, it's cute and it can be so cringey. To me, it's cinema. I also like how these two were having a romantic camping trip while poor Deputy Go was fighting for his (after)life.

I cannot wait for the infidelity arc gets dealt with soon, I hate it. The moment Deputy Go joked about detective ghost's wife, I just knew the wife was gonna be unfaithful or wanting a divorce. I was hoping it's a misunderstanding or something more nuanced but alas. I feel so bad for detective ghost. Personally I would simply divorce someone if they weren't there for me, instead of cheating on them.

I must say, I am impressed with the pacing. The ML and FL already know most of each other's tragic backstories, their childhood first love connection, and now even that he's gonna die. Even Deputy Go knows who his first love is and Detective Ghost knows his wife's heart went yonder. What are we even gonna do for the next 7 episodes?

In retrospect, making your gf take your funeral photo is kinda messed up. What was this guy thinking? Again, not the best decisions and logic from a person who is otherwise very kind and considerate.

P.S. this ghost seeing ML met his fated love when they were preteens bc their parents died. we are reaching kdrama trope levels that shouldn't be possible 💀

P.P.S. While creepy stalker ghost will *not* be missed, I'll keep it real, I just cannot fear or hate the Big Bad Villain Ghost. No matter what Evil Face™️ he does, all I see is the comical eunuch from Mr. Queen.

Nothing much makes sense in this drama but the main emotional beats are moving. Yoo Insoo is good here as I didn’t like his overacting in that awful drama which allegedly had a good mother in it. Sungho is a sweet and funny character and it is sad that he will have to pass through soon.
Bom and Kijoo are enjoying their bliss amidst the impending havoc but I hope the uncle can free himself from the netherworld and help them beat the curse. And, please let Kijoo get rid of that awful hair colour. What’s wrong with the gorgeous black?
And, the ghost cop should learn a whole books worth of lessons about what makes a relationship functional. His gendered assumptions about the long suffering wife needed to be exposed as he was oblivious to her unhappiness and lonliness.

I was VERY HAPPY to see that neither Ju Won nor Kwon Na-ra had “No Kissing” clauses in their contracts 😙

All I’m doing at this point now is staring side-eyed at the writer about how our lead couple will end up.

Make it good, please. Leave “bittersweet” to the side ghosts.

CUTE!!!!! I enjoy this drama so much. It is just so pleasant. I hope for happiness at the end because our leads are super duper cute.

I just loved Ki-joo and Bom in the first flush of their mutual attraction. I think someone mentioned this on the fanwall as well. But they hold hands, kiss, touch and more. It’s a much more normal depiction of physical desire between two adults even tho we’ve been told one has essentially been an ascetic. Rooting for them.

I have two issues with the drama. #1 the romance It might be only me but I wanted the leads to stay partners or friends. Not sold on the romance. Similar example Sell Your Haunted House
#2 The story about the evil ghost killing catsvand wreaking havoc and the ghost from last week, the stalker, not vanishing
Show stealer for me is deputy Go and Fl's best friend. I like the ghost detective too.

I liked the reveal about Bom being the past ghost. But I was surprised he didn't ask more questions about the accident. Her scar is unique and she had to meet his uncle because she had the camera.

The couple is cute. I hope the curse of dying at 35years old won't ruin it.

I'm sticking with this one, but 7 more episodes might begin to be a slog. The breaking point for me, when I began to feel some dangerous resentment, that risked turning me into an evil critic stuck on this earth forever came when the Joseon villainous ghost sucked the smoky energy from the stalker villainous ghost. This is the 10th (or so) show that I've seen that, and let me tell you, I've grown more and more skeptical about this process. Why are evil spirits always sucking up the breath of humans and other ghosts? Is it just entrenched in Korean ghostly lore that when an evil spirit wants to take a soul, s/he just starts breathing in and out it comes in a stream of smoke from the victim? But what if there is a breeze--wouldn't the soul-smoke get dispersed? Surely there are ghosts that have more efficient ways of absorbing evil energy--say, through a wrist grab or tight hug! Could we for once see some creativity in portraying evil energy acquisition?

I was a bit confused how I was supposed to feel because obviously Hoon was a bad guy yet he *did* bring legal help to those who needed/accepted it. I get that it was out of some weird "this is happening because of me/I'm helping them" mindset but still.

It was lucky that Ki Joon went on that date out of town at that exact time.

Thanks @mistyisles for the recap. Because of episode 6’s postponement I feel the story has been thrown off a little. So all things being equal we should have had episodes 9 and 10 this week. That would have wrapped up the stalker case and had 2 episodes with the Kim Yoon-chul case. I guess it doesn’t really matter.
One thing I found strange was Ki-joo in the office while the two attorneys were having a consultation with a client. If I was the client I would have asked, “hey who is the guy back there”. He was visible right? We will be seeing more of Bom’s nemesis (now) Minister Lee Hyun-oh.

The thing with Hoon, the hero, and the poor girls being harassed by journalists... couldn't the other people who had interacted with Hoon be witnesses that he is not what he appears to be? Bom gave her Sunbae a list of people that Hoon wanted to get legal help for, and Sunbae said that all those people were creeped out by Hoon. So I guess they could have talked and defended poor Hyun-joo.
Also, kudos to all of you who understood that the little girl was a coma ghost!

I really loved the romance in these eps, and I hope they don't break up next episode like it kinda seems they might. Previews can be misleading. I liked the twist about the cop ghost's wife. I thought he might turn out to go rogue and be the bad guy in the end, but I guess not.

So Bom was a coma ghost, but did they ever explain the Jang Soo name? Still not quite understanding that.

what I am amazed of is how this drama has made me sympathise with all our characters. im routing for our ghosty boys a lot.
it is cute but predictable

Thank you for the recap.

I liked how Ki-joo expelled the ghost from Bom - this type of push and pull I can get behind. I'm glad Ki-joo has finally succumbed to the charms of uri FL.

Yay for photo studio flirtation.

Nay for "why" the photo was taken.

Yah for secret handholds.

Nay for neither consulting the GPS not letting Bom drive. To be fair she took it rather sportingly.

Yay for unironically saying 라면먹고 갈래? And actually knowing how to cook ramen - timed to perfection.

Nay for continued Queen of Tears references - secret divorce papers, grilled lettuce and ... timed fate!?

So now that the mysteries of
- who was the kid ghost
- where is samchon
are solved perhaps we will get more backstory about the camera and how to break its curse and see the back of the Grim Reaper.

I really like how Ki-joo supports both Go Dae Ri and Nam Goo. Ji-won being unnerved by her lucky day and anticipating a tragic end is so relatable.

We know Park Ki Woong has only a guest role but can we please have a Gaksital reunion sometime soon.
