[Review] Master's Sun

I have to admit that I was not interested to watch this drama since there's ghost..
But..
I have a lot of free time in between this Monday&Tuesday and the next Monday&Tuesday
So I can't stay still.. I was anxious..
I end up reading Master's Sun recaps from Dramabeans.com
Then I tried watching episode 6 since the recap talks about some romance
Rule of thumb: Good drama involves love and romance
I didn't know the theme is romantic comedy!
I thought it was a horror drama
Plus the ghosts in the trailer ARE scary!

Cha Joong Won (So Ji Sub) is the CEO of Kingdom Mall. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. His father is rich and I am not sure since when they were rich. Cha Joong Woon's mother died from when he was little. Not sure when and what happened. Cha Joong Won has a past that still hunted him. His first love died from a car accident. All his marriage arrangements were 'disastrous'. People said it's his first love curse. Also, he has a prickly attitude that kind of explain what's the reason actually. He don't believe that dead spirit exist and he would just 'step on people' to get what he wants.

Tae Gong Shil or Tae Yang (Gong Hyo Jin) on the other hand had lived while seeing dead spirits. She starts seeing dead spirits after some accident happened and she was in coma for 3 years. Before the accident, she was considered a pretty and smart student. Everyone expect her to have a bright future. But now, she is even afraid to go out to the world. She couldn't get a proper job without being bothered by ghosts or being called a lunatic. The ghosts always come to her to ask for a favor and won't leave until she does it.

And then! This two characters' fate crossed.. On a rainy night, the CEO had just convinced a house's owner to sell his house and was on his way back to Seoul. Tae Yang was by the roadside. She needed a lift back to Seoul herself after she had done a favor to a ghost granny. The CEO refused to let Tae Yang to get a lift on his car and asked his Secretary to just keep driving. However Secretary Kim was surprised by a lightning and immediately stopped the car. Tae Yang thought they stopped to give her a lift. So she just jumped in the car. (What a shameless girl.. That's what make her so 'irresistible'.)

Of course she was being chased by another ghost then. The ghost was standing in the middle of the road. She screamed. Secretary Kim was startled and stopped the car. Ok, now the ghost is inside the car looking straight on her face! Gosh.. It's creeping me out. She screamed and touched the CEO by impulse. Puff~ The ghost is gone.. That's weird because that's the first time it happened. Ghost had never leave her alone even when she asked them to. The second time she encountered a ghost, the ghost disappeared again once she hold on to the CEO. The CEO didn't like it at all: people touching him. He abandoned Tae Yang at a train station (if I was not mistaken).

But then.. Taeyang starts to get a job in Kingdom Mall. Somehow, she gets to convince the CEO that she actually sees ghost. One ghost in particular, which caught CEO's attention. His first love, Cha Hee Joo. So, they have an agreement. The CEO becomes Taeyang's shelter while Taeyang provides information about Cha Hee Joo.

What makes this drama is so exciting is that the CEO initially play hard-to-get while he actually enjoys Taeyang being around. He's the bad-guy type of boyfriend. He started to care about Taeyang in a shy-cute-adorable way. Ahh~ Who wouldn't fall for it? Well, Taeyang has already had feeling for the CEO since the beginning. It's so hard to get this two together because they both said the wrong things and misunderstood each other. Gosh... Typically Korean drama that make us hooked!

Let's not spoiled the whole story. It's worth for you to watch and squeal..

  1. Hi there. I watched this drama. The romance between side characters particularly Small Taeyang and the Guard Team Leader is another aspect that I personally like about this drama. That's all. Bye.
