The show was slow for the first ten something episodes. It dragged on and I could handle two episodes in one sitting max. It took around a month to finish this, and I couldn't have done it without a friend to make constant snarky comments at how bad it is.
The romantic lead is utterly unlikeable -- the male having no personality, and the female being insufferable. It whiplashes between toxic romantic dynamics and scenes of Hyun-Ji spinning around and smiling inanely. Their interactions in an episode can be boiled down to Hyun-ji whining, insulting Bong Pal and then trying to act cute when she wants something, and Bong Pal being a wet sock in response. There is no chemistry between them and they just seem to be together out of circumstance and not substance.
That being said, the side characters are entertaining enough. They are extremely campy, but charming in their own way. Without them, the show would be unwatchable. However, one foil, the ghost that chats with Hyun-ji now and again was like a hook to the eye. I'm so glad she was killed off.
The pacing was extremely slow, and only became interesting very late on. The twist was fine, but these 16 hours could have been supressed to 4, if not a normal feature length film.
And the ghost CGI sucks.
