Review:
This drama has a unique story even though it's not entirely new concept of a girl who sees ghosts. The girl is a shell of herself after experiencing an accident. She's the opposite of the main guy's character nice gentle and caring. In the beginning of the story she behaves like a stalker so the guy is pissed of and tries to get rid of her but as a saying goes, if you can't beat them join them. So he eventually gives in and helps her. Their relationship evolves from stalker and "victim" to friends and coworkers then finally lovers. The girl and the man change their perspectives and attitudes through the series and they find themselves drawn to each other more and more so the middle of the story has a lot of romance and sweet moments between them. Later things happen and the usual misery comes in and we see them suffer which I didn't really like to see especially after their long and tiresome journey to connect and get closer to each other. The girl is so miserable and plain that you automatically sympathize with her while seeing her hardships, but the guy annoys like hell. Later he changes and becomes likeable. The series could be shorter and the story could be less predictable and of course many things could be changed, but it was worth it. The main actors are my favorite so I liked every moment they appeared. The usual cinderella story with a mix of mystery and drama.
