Ana Oct 09 2021 8:24 am I got headached while watching this. Why the camera keeps on moving? When the actor or actress deluvering their lines, it will zoom large then back.. Zoom and back.. ?

GhostBuff42 Mar 18 2018 12:40 am Cheo Yong was AWESOME!! Yes Season 2 was better than season 1 BUT starting from the beginning and towards the last season everything came to a fuill circle. For once I finally get to enjoy a mystery/ghost/comedy supernatural crime detective series and some episodes actually made me feel better. All in honest THIS WAS FAR BETTER than shows than current American TV shows that they plaster here in the US region.... I am glad I can finally see other countries TV series since I feel more comfortable watching these types of genre without the swearing and over doing of the melancholic themes. Cheo Yong once watching few episodes actually made me feel good. US tv never does that, I give Cheo Yong 2 thumbs up and 5 out of 5. PS The Season 2 toward the ending when they all worked on the big case was thrilling and surprising as heck! WORTH IT!!

Kim Feb 10 2017 12:14 am Anyone knows Chang Won real name? He was possessed by Nam Ho's evil spirit in episode 8 season 2. He looks so handsome and he did great in episode 8 but too bad I can't find his name :'((

Karen Jun 06 2016 11:26 pm Gotta admit season 2 is much better. Season 1 is so so so boring........ Plus, Ha Sun Woo was annoying. I prefer Jung Ha Yoon in season 2.. she's way smarter than Sun Woo

Dee Apr 24 2016 5:17 am The first season is not as good as the 2nd. Oh Ji Eun's character is stupid for a detective. Det. Jung in Season 2 is way much better. Season 2 stories are more interesting.

Chaopao Apr 04 2016 5:41 pm i Hope you guys making season 3 with the same cast And jun Hyoseong keep her all the way season all the season hyoseong is so funny she is help with the police but she also have a good heart when she going to said in her mind hey guys keep her all the season All the season I like the series just Jun HyoSeong all the way Thank you for your Cheo yong Keep it going Keep her in

gem Nov 19 2015 11:31 pm Getting a headache from episode 6 from the unsteady focus and abrupt zooming in and out of the camera on the characters which has ruined an otherwise interesting drama. Over zealous camera man and inexperienced director perhaps. I watched Season 2 first which was good and which prompted me to watch this. If i had watched this first i would not have watched Season 2 though. Thankfully coming to an end.

Alfred Sep 12 2015 2:13 pm i don't understand the ending. The high school girl who is a ghost was stabbed by a knife so she has to dissappered and go to another life or something. But in the drama, the girl reappear after one year and hanging around the police office. Why? Please someone explain me. Please......

Daniel Aug 26 2015 4:01 am Lol this is the dullest detective drama I ever seen in my life. So dull to the point I fall asleep watching it.

Everything is wrong with this drama. The cast is dull, music is dull, OST does not fit the genre at all, the main and side case/story is just meh there is no thrill or satisfaction that we usually feel at the end of the case because it was just so predictable that you can include this drama to "mystery" genre at all. They just don't bother to wrap up each case properly like the motive of suspect and etc. Also because the detective can see ghost and tell what going on by meeting with those dead victim make the drama boring the way they solve the case is so repetitive meeting (yeah by that I mean they can know the truth by just meeting with the death vicim).

The main and supporting cast is just awful. There is no character bonding or development and their acting is so half-hearted.

Pff, I advise all the mystery/crime/detective lover to stay away from this flop.

nomi May 25 2015 1:25 am Good drama overall...It is nice to see some unique kind of work being presented on OCN. The story was gripping and suspenseful but many of the mysteries are still there to be unfold. This drama really needs to have the second season and hopefully it will air this year. The chemistry between the character is fine.Both the main leads complemented each other well and the girl who played the role of school girl was the core of this drama.Without her you will feel as something is missing. The romance part was specifically about caring which was also nice to see.The one thing that needed to be improved is the the story line and character specification. Specially the main guy who is playing the character of yeol cheong.The script writer shouldn't show the clumsiness of this character which he showed in the Ist season.In this context i completely agree with the Clarkdale44. If a person is born with some supernatural abilities,at least,it should be shown in a logical way as well. By this way, this drama can be made more interesting. One more thing i want to mention is the makeup team should also work on the looks of oh jo oh looks. With a little work on his hairs and complexions he can be more than fit to play a role of a detective. The actions scenes are also needed to be improved. Though they tried to change the female lead role at the end of the ist season but i think the former was better. Overall it depends on the 2nd season of how well the unfold the mystery behind it.

Enma Sep 25 2014 12:19 am Nice series. Hope it will have other seasons. Know Psychic Detective Yakumo? You can say this was based on that. Only a little changes. Like tow-ma-to and tu(from turn)- me-to.

Hajong forever Sep 24 2014 9:10 am i'm gonna watch this because of Hajin... no i mean Yoo min kyu (*^*) and and i like the story about the detective who can see ghosts :)

zhia_aala Jun 19 2014 1:49 am deebak OCN!!!!!!! once again you proving that your drama is always DEEBAK!!!!!! VAMPIRE PROSECUTOR,GOD QUIZ S1-4, now this....DEEBAK!!!!!! I wish you can continue this drama as long as GOD QUIZ...... btw can we have another season of VAMPIRE PROSECUTOR?

Siti Nurliana May 16 2014 9:46 pm I haven't watch this drama till the end yet. Still on episode 9 right now here. I freaking love this drama! When I saw the commercialon TV, it suddenly attracted me to watch this! :D I actually hate Korean drama cause most of them are about romance and all that. I seriously hate romance in drama -.- But, thank god this one doens't even have any romance in it! That's making me even more in love with this show! I love all the cast epsecially Cheo Yong :3 I love watching paranormal and detective show. With this drama combining both of the genre, just making it even more perfect! I've never watch Korean drama before. In fact, this is the only Korean drama I watch. No romance! I hate it. I'm more into Korean movie than drama. Still not romance genre :) Can't wait for next episode next week! Best drama ever! xD

Krysa May 10 2014 2:18 pm Not bad but brutally shorted. WHY??? It killed the atmosphere of last episodes.

Clarkdale44 May 02 2014 2:42 am Well, less than decent series... I don't know what was i thinking when i started watching this drama. Waste of time for me. It got great story sequence but became dull after episode third. Watch it at your own risk if you are interested. There is nothing in this drama that makes it any special.

Don't read further if you have not watched this drama yet:- Don't know why but i don't quite like the male lead's casting, maybe its due to bad script or something. He did all those action scenes greatly but still something was odd. Both female leads were great but something didn't felt right.

I don't like the character of Cheo-Yong, he was supposed to be a legend detective with professional skills but the way he ignores evidences and important facts it felt as he was just like others.

There was no romance, seriously? i hate dramas where you put all the cute girls and still no romance... I like dramas where there is a mixture of every thing, like action with romance with supernatural. Don't think i hate this drama just because of this. There are many more reasons why this drama is dull. When you keep watching it you will find out eventually.

In this end i would say what i always say, everyone's choice is different. I told you about this drama what i felt after watching it. There is a possibility that you may like this drama.

Fullheart5 Apr 02 2014 9:03 pm Great series. Well done.
