My Thoughts:  Oh, My Ghost is commendable! It offers a unique story, and perfect casting especially CJS and PBY! Their chemistry is an A-plus! Park Bo-young is such a great actress - showing of her skills in depicting opposite personalities. I am impressed! As for Cho Jeo
ng-seok, to be honest, though his face is quite familiar I don't recall seeing him anywhere until after I finished this series. I learned that he is one of the cast in the King 2 Hearts. I really have no memories of him at all. That being said, having mýself make a bit of researching would tell that he has indeed grabbed my attention in this drama series. I will make sure to follow his succeeding dramas. And I hope there will be another one soon *winks*. He perfectly fits in the role and is great in acting as well. No wonder as he had been in theatrical arts for years. His facial expression alone is enough to show how good  an actor he is. I'm sure to keep him in my radar from now on! If you haven't seen Oh, My Ghost yet, don't delay! You will love this!

My Rating: 10/10
