With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh and sci-fi fans. If you loved The Vampire Diaries, start here.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 18 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14: scary moments. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Joo Joong-won is the arrogant, greedy CEO of Kingdom, a conglomerate that includes a supermall and a hotel. "Ghost whisperer” Tae Gong-shil, is a misunderstood outcast who can't keep a boyfriend or a job since a near death experience left her seeing needy ghosts. She feels compelled to help them resolve their earthly issues so they can move on to the afterlife... and he feels compelled to think she's crazy. Soon their lives merge into a complicated web of hijinx, misunderstandings, and... yes, love.
