The first of this Season’s ghostly-themed drama offerings arrives in the form of Who Are You being the first out of the gate. Will it give this drama an advantage? Probably not, there is no saturation point with this topic yet and the other drama The Master’s Sun airs on SBS as a prime time offering so it’s appealing to different audiences. The same thing went on last year with Big versus the cable drama I Love Lee Tae Ri. The body swap conceit seemed like it was quite popular but neither got great ratings so that horse didn’t have any legs. Only time will tell if the ability to see ghosts concept will be the new time travel quirk for 2013. I don’t think the ghostly beings in these dramas will be so scary as to alienate audience members not keen on watching horror as nightly entertainment. I think once the audience gets uses to seeing scary specters, the drama will focus on how the dead simply have last wishes that will need the help of leading lady Yang Si On to finish. I’m not going to let the presence of Taecyeon deter me from checking out this drama. He plays a cop and if all he does is look very intense and dogged, that might be enough to tolerate his limited arsenal of acting range. I really really want to see Kim Jae Wook‘s comeback project, and he normally plays suit-and-tie characters or bohemians, so seeing him play a manly cop turned protective ghost will both be something new. I liked the preview for episode 1, the drama seems to strike a balance between lighthearted laughs and intense suspense. I like what little I saw of So Yi Hyun, her character has spunk and sass and she always shines in those type of characters which juxtaposes with her more elegant image. I’ve watched the cast in BTS videos and everyone seems to have lots of energy on set with great chemistry. I hope that all transfers onscreen and the drama is an entertaining ride.
