Ghost Friends (2009)

This drama is sooo cute & funny! Highly recommended to watch if you want a break from the melodramas for a little bit. The ghosts in this story is not scary at all! It's not a horror drama!

Story: When I watched this the first time, I was more a romantic-comedy type of person when it came to Asian dramas. I haven't watch supernatural dramas at the time. The supernatural aspect actually made it special to me.

Acting: I was coming in not knowing any of the leads at all. The acting was amazing. They were so cute together that I wanted them to date in real life. The main guy is uniquely handsome & hot. The main girl is sweet & cute. The ghosts in each episode was fun to watch.

Music: It was cute ost.

Will I rewatch this?: I have rewatched this 4 or 5 times already & it never gets old. I will rewatch this again when I need cheering up when I watch a melodrama or when I get sad.

You'll like this drama if you like romantic-comedies, supernatural dramas, family dramas, friendship dramas, ghosts, the actors & actresses, & dramas with a lot of heart.

First things first. Soo disapointed because of the ending. Until the very last episode I felt like this could be my favorite drama because of the story line and a hot guy. But no. It had to be ruined. I guess real life kicked in, or something ? So if you can take disapointing endings then this is the drama for you. I myself almost feel like I wasted my time. Now Kaito is acted very nicely. Good actor. But the girl seems a bit awkward, thats a minus. She gets a plus for a hobby that she and I have in common though. I also like that the drama is quite simple and sweet.

Teen Ghost Whisperer

When I started watching this for my Back To The Past watch challenge, I had a terrible feeling of déjà vu: the plot and the events looked so familiar. Until I realized that this must be a japanese take on that american show The Ghost Whisperer. The plot is basically the same: a girl who can see ghosts helps them with their unfinished business, and afterwards they go into the light. It is a case of the week kind of drama, though there is the main story arc that covers the whole show. The girl is helped by a young man who needs to convince his dead ghost girlfriend that she has to go into the afterlife. While doing that they fall in love incurring the wrath of the dead girlfriend.

The whole drama makes you feel warm and giddy: the actors are all good and the chemistry is just right. The special effects are a bit clunky but it does not take anything away from the enjoyment of the drama. The stories, though mostly funny and fun, deal with important questions and feelings: friendship, family, regrets, hopes, dreams and love and grief.

I liked the whole idea behind the drama that only teens can see ghosts: once you become adult you lose that capability. What is the point of that? Helps you grow up and mature, deal with the difficult period of being a teen, dealing with not being a child any more but not quite an adult yet. The FL here shows surprising kindness, open mindedness, understanding and even maturity and I wished that the writers came up with a happy ending for her and her boyfriend even though it was clear from the get go that they could never be together forever. That said, the whole drama is happy, uplifting, sweet and funny. A great watch!
