Rating: *****


Genre: Fantasy, period, mystery, comedy, romance, action, melodrama
Episodes: 20
Cast: Shin Min Ah, Lee Jun Ki, Yun Woo Jin, Kwon Oh Joong


SYNOPSIS:
"The beautiful Arang, the daughter of a magistrate during the Chosun Dynasty, is brutally murdered. The woman returns from the dead as a ghost, still full of light-hearted mischief and spirited fun. When she meets a young magistrate, Eun Oh, she discovers that he has the unique ability to communicate with the dead. She convinces him to help her uncover her killer and bring the person to justice. Can a ghost and a magistrate team up to solve a murder mystery and punish the wrongdoer? --KimchiDrama"


REVIEW:
Simply "daebak."  Original plotline, great cast, and very humorous.  This drama was addicting from start to finish, and it left me wanting more.  I loved the secondary couple.  They are so funny together.  I seriously wouldn't mind a spin off of just those two characters.  As you know, I'm a big fan of this sort of period drama.  So, when a fantasy drama like this comes along, I don't know why I wouldn't recommend it.  It's a must see!

The Wedding Scheme

Rating: ****


Genre: Romance, Comedy, Family
Episodes: 16
Cast: Kang Hye Jung, Lee Kyu Han, Lee Young Eun, Lee Min Woo


SYNOPSIS:
"A mother of four daughters and the president of a kimchi factory decides to embark on a grand marriage scheme for her children... by having them cohabitate with four eligible bachelors."


REVIEW:
After getting multiple people telling me how wonderful this show was, I decided to finally take a gander at this show.  Funny, cute, and addicting, this was well worth the watch.  When I first read the synopsis, I though that it was two people that were plotting a marriage scheme for their children, but I later realized that the president of the kimchi factory and the mother were the same person.  That kind of made it a little less fun, as I would have liked to see two scheming parents, but it was still fun.
