I wanted a bit of a change of pace, so I just rewatched the first two days of Bring It On Ghost / Let’s Fight Ghost. Kim So-hyun has been one of my favorites since School 2015, but I had forgotten just how great she was here. Nobody does aegyo like 2016 KSH. Her character was a perfect match for her 2016 abilities, personality, age, appearance, etc, etc. I think this and School 2015 are her best so far.
The comments under the recaps have a lot of uneasiness about the age gap between her and Taecyeon. I just want to add here that in terms of acting experience she was far his senior. Asianwiki shows her with more than twice as many acting credits then, and her first was 3 years before his.
This is my favorite Kim So-hyun drama, and my favorite pairing for her – her acting style is suited to her character’s age here. Plus, we get to enjoy Taec and Kang Ki-young!!
It’s been on my list for ages.
I already know something important about the story (it’s difficult to avoid spoilers after so many years), but I think it can still be a good watch.

It was the first time I ever saw him in anything and I LOVED him. I remember thinking how good looking he was, too.

KKY!!! Yes!! I watched this because of him, and the only thing left in my memories was the Chong Rang-I Rang duo. They’re ICONIC.

There’s also very little skinship, I assume they kept it that way because of the age gap.

Yes same. Loved her in school 2015. She was terrific as Eun Byul.
And one of the most painful second lead syndrome.
