We meet again, guys! For today entry, which is my first entry for K-Drama/Drama section, I'm gonna do a review on one of my favorite K-Drama which is Let's Fight, Ghost. If you look this up on google, you will be able to find some different title for this drama but believe me, it is all the same.

Synopsis :

Park Bong Pal has grown up with the ability to see ghost and in order to remove his ability away, he decided to work as an exorcist to earn enough money to undergo a procedure that will take his ability away. But one day, when he got a job in a haunted school, she then met Kim Hyun-ji, a high school student who became a wandering spirit due to a traffic accident. Hyun-ji somehow believed that Bong-pal hold the secret why she became a spirit. In order to be freed from endlessly wandering the earth and be able to ascend to the next life, Hyun-ji convinced Bong-pal to let her move in and they eventually became a ghost fighting partners.

Bong-pal then realised that with Hyun-ji presence, he became stronger in fighting ghost and he finally knew how to banish the ghost away by finding their cause of death's traces on their body thanks to Hyun-ji. And he also learnt that not all ghosts were evil spirits as he thought. Without they even realised, they started to falling for each other. However, both of them were unaware that they were being stalked by an evil spirit that was the caused for Hyun-ji's accident and also the reason to why Bong-pal has the ability to see ghosts.

Plot :

The plot was easy to catch on and you can already made guesses/theories about Hyun-ji being a wanderer spirit instead of ghost as early at around episode 7 or 8. And I really love when we have been served with a lot type of ghosts for Bong-pal to get rid off and how some of the ghost have their own story especially the sad one which even if I watched this drama twice or thrice, I still bawling my eyes out over it, is the story about a guy who had a brain cancer and his girlfriend died the day after he undergo the surgery. At this point, I think the director want the audience to see things on Bong-pal's view which is not all ghost are evil and hold grudges over the human living.

The connection between Bong-pal, Hyun-ji and Prof Hye-sung being revealed slowly scene by scene so that the audience can keep up to it's pace as the story started to have some flashbacks on how Bong-pal being able to get the ability to see ghost and how her mother died when he was a kid and also how Bong-pal father has met Hyun-ji which lead up to her accident. And the romantic scene between Bong-pal and Hyun-ji doesn't overshadow the other action scene which is perfectly balanced for the plot.

Characters :

The character of Park Bong-pal has made a huge improvement where in the early of the episode, we can see that he is an introvert guy and doesn't really socialize with his classmates and he even prefer doing his assignment alone due to his ability to see ghost but after he met Hyun-ji, he slowly tried to socialize more and became more open about himself.

As for the Prof Hye-sung, he did a great job by hiding his evil side under his perfect personality and kind attitude that absolutely have made people blind. Who ever thought that such a handsome yet kind man could even murder people? But he can't fool me for sure because I already kind of knew that he was the bad guy after all this time! But I would say that it's not his fault for everything that has happened even though he actually let the evil spirit possessed him on his own will.

I always attracted to the supporting characters in every drama/movie because I find that one drama/movie will be more alive by the existence of the supporting character and in this case, there's a few supporting character that really draw my attention which are these 2 duo ; Choi Cheon-sang (Kang Ki-young) & Kim In Rang (Lee David) and Detective Yang (Yoon Seo-hyun) & Detective Kim (Jung Ji-soon).

These two duos have really made a big impact to the plot where Cheon-sang and In Rang managed to follow Prof Hye-sung when he kidnapped Hyun-ji during episode 15 while those two detectives finally managed to uncover the crime that has been made by Prof Hye-sung.

Conclusion :

I really think that this drama is worth to watch and also worth to enjoy the ride. The plot and the characters are great for a person with not-so-high-taste like me but everyone should at least try to watch this. This is the drama that I actually did not afraid of the ghosts hahaha. This drama played with a lot of emotion I tell you. But aside from that, I really loves the growling sounds when Prof Hye-sung reveal his evil side sjhkgkg.

But, honestly I really loves his character when he's no longer posessed by the evil spirit which is so innocent and soft and I'm glad the had made it up with her mother.
