Well, at least by the end of this episode he finally regains his memories.It is very funny to see Joong Won misunderstands his relationship with Gong Sil but also extremely heart-breaking:( When one of them dies, the other twin takes her place.At the end of the last episode, I thought Joong Won finally remembers but I guess it’s never that easy in dramas. The other had grown up in an orphanage in Korea. One twin had been adopted by a rich English family. It turns out that Joong-Won was kidnapped by his girlfriend and her twin sister, who no one ever knew about.

Throw in a few juicy subplots - a Mean-ish Girl movie star, a case of mistaken identity - and “The Master’s Sun” is entertaining enough.īut, it’s not in the same league as So’s superior series, “ Oh My Venus.” And by the look of all the high-end dresses and accessories in his father’s closet, it certainly appears that his suspicions are correct.īut Gong-Sil discovers that the elder Lee was a cross dresser who wanted her to destroy the photos that would out him to his family. Jae-seok is positive that his father had a secret mistress. His wish is that she hide something from his son. Gong-Sil is being haunted by Jae-seok’s father, who died suddenly.

I’ve been surprised that for all the chaste kisses that the leads bestow on each other, the subject matter in the current dramas are very progressive.īesides the rich man/poor woman (or vice versa) storylines, the showrunners tackle child abuse, cosmetic surgery, adoption and transgender issues. When I used to watch Korean dramas with my mother way back in the day, the storylines tended to be non controversial. When caught, she said it was her right to do so, since he was her son. The stand-out episodes focused on abuse in the military, bullying at school and a hit-and-run death. There was also a rage-inducing and heartbreaking scene where a mother beat her pre-school age child for misplacing his backpack. When she goes all Nancy Drew and Joong-Won revs up his inner Remington Steele, they are unstoppable.
The real meat of the storyline is Gong-Sil’s ability to put restless souls at ease. Too much time is spent on whether or not this couple will get together. ( Whyyyyyyyy?)Īs with many series, “The Master’s Sun” would’ve benefited from some judicious editing. But here, he’s forced to wear a frown that’s almost as unpleasant as the unfortunate Boys Over Flowers hairstyle he’s sporting. It is not easy to make So Ji-Sub appear anything less than swoonworthy.

While this 2013 series clearly wants viewers to root for Joong-Won and Gong-Sil to couple up, the burgeoning romance grew old fast. The audience is expected to believe that Gong-Sil, with all her ghost-related problems and lack of appropriate hygiene, would be the object of affection not only from persnickety and unlikable (but handsome) Joong-Won, but also the sweet, young, model-worthy security guard, Kang Woo.
As a teenager, he and his girlfriend were kidnapped. Why? We don’t know, but that’s the premise of this 16-episode ghost story, which provides equal parts drama and humor. When they meet up, Gong-Sil realizes that when she touches Joong-Won, the ghosts that torment (and entertain) her disappear.
