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!
