The Plot (from Wikipedia)
Joo Joong-won (So Ji-sub) is the stingy and greedy CEO of Kingdom, a conglomerate that includes a major department store and hotel. He meets the gloomy Tae Gong-shil (Gong Hyo-jin), who started seeing ghosts after an accident. Their lives take a new turn as they work together to deal with the terror and sadness brought about by the spirits, while delving into a kidnapping incident in Joong-won's past.

Why did I watch this drama?
Well at first I wasn't going to watch it when I saw the trailer after I Hear Your Voice because it looked really scary and I don't like scary things. But the main guy in it was so good looking (So Ji Sub) so I had the drama in mind, when I finished I Hear Voice and was unsure what to watch next, my friend told me she was watching Master's Sun, but she said it was scary but after the first few episodes it was ok. She as well said that So Ji Sub is amazingly good looking but on the other Gong Hyo Jin is not pretty but portrays the character well.

The OSTs
Oh My Gosh I'm absolutely obsessed with the songs in this drama they are my third favourite lot of songs after Secret Garden and BOF.  

My favourite OSTs are:
Day and Night - Gummy
After hearing this song I just had to find the full song and listen to it, even though I don't understand korean I could hear her emotion through the song. <3 it

 

Crazy of you  - Hyorin

I recognised her voice when I heard it the first time, I was like OMG its Hyorin. Love her voice  



Korean phrases I learnt from this drama 

-Ghost

-Get Lost

 

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!

What did I think?

This drama is amazing I love it, and missed it very much when I finished watching it. What was I going to do without the Master's Sun? The chemistry between the two main characters is by far the best I've seen in the Korean Dramas I have watched from ep 1 to ep end. The other thing about this drama is that the supposedly evil characters aren't that evil

e.g.

the auntie - she didn't really turn out to be that evil after all, in comparison to the evil mothers I have seen in previous dramas; Secret Garden, BOF, Love Rain. But then I guess she's only the aunt.

 

the uncle- okay so he remained extremely nosy throughout the drama but actually he helped Joong Won recover his memory and wanted him to be with Taeyang and disagreed with the aunt when she wanted to introduce him to Hanna.

 

Hanna/Cha Hee Joo - Okay, the living twin was extremely evil but this was where it was a bit surprising that nothing extreme really happened when she returned, usually you'll expect that she's back and ruins every single thing but that didn't happen. I guess it's just that it's too difficult for Joong Won to fall in love.

 

Secretary Kim - Okay so you guys will be probably thinking WTH?! but I thought he was going to be evil when I found out he had connections with Cha Hee Joo, I thought he was involved in the kidnapping and that's why he's so desperate for Joong Won to fall in love so that he can forget about Cha Hee Joo and therefore forget about the necklace. But it turned out I was just being too suspicious haha. He's a sweet guy and really cute.

 

Another thing that I liked about this drama is that when you think that the third person will ruin things in their relationship nothing happens ( i.e. when he comes back from China with another woman and Hanna) unlike BOF where even in the last episode there is a third person that comes and ruins everything.

 

Even though this was a typical Kdrama of rich guy poor girl and the main guy loses his memory, because of the comedy and chemistry and the individual stories of the ghosts it was interesting to watch.

  

Favourite Scenes
okay there were a lot but I'll just name a few here

• The first time she became unconscious - this was so funny, especially the dog bit
• When Joong Won dreams of the military dog and Nobody by Wondergirls is played with a few girls dancing to it - I was like OMG one of my favourite all time Kpop songs plus it was so random
• The three bears part when they were singing it to the dead boy. Secretary Kim is so cute

The Overall Rating: 9/10 would of been a 10 if the pushing him away didn't last so many episodes
