KDrama to Watch: The Master's Sun (2013)

The Master's Sun (2013) 

Grade: A-

17 Episodes

 Tae Gong Sil is haunted by the spirits of the dead – ghosts that only she can see that pester and scare her until she agrees to help them fulfill their final wishes. As a result, the sleep-deprived Gong Sil is unable to hold down a job and is wandering down a dark road one stormy night where she meets Joo Joong Won, the cold, wealthy owner of the Kingdom mall. When Gong Sil's hand brushes against Joong Won, she feels a spark between them and soon realizes that any time she touches him, the ghosts disappear. She then decides to do anything in her power to remain by his side, as he is the only refuge for her from the apparitions. Will Gong Sil ever completely escape the spirits, or will Joong Won have her committed? And what happens when demons from Joong Won's past appear?


*I LOVED the first two-thirds of this show. The main girl looks positively insane (the same actress from the show Pasta), and the guy that plays Joong Won is the perfect blend of frank yet not completely heartless. It's a little spooky for the first few episodes, but it's not that bad. I do think the show started to lose steam after about the 12th episode, and some cliché elements were written into the plot as a result. It did have a good, happy ending, but not as satisfying as it could be because it was so slow. I might watch this again.*
