Dear Koreandrama.org,
Ye Soo Jung (http://star.koreandrama.org/ye-soo-jung) played a role in The Ghost Detective drama as Lee Da Il (Choi Daniel) mother 🙂

I like all the cast but this woman in red storyline is so boring. After 6 episodes I find myself thinking who cares? I hope the writer changes the story so it’s a ghost of the week detective show, that would be infinitely better than this dry storyline where a woman kills people in her coma for no real good reason. The actresses white face and red lipstick is also getting on my nerves. The role is so bland and cliche she doesn’t have the charisma to make the character more compelling. Fingers crossed she dies next week so the cast can get to work on some real ghost cases.

So after Yoon-Hee left Dong-Hoon in “My Mister” her supernatural double went on a killing spree pitting people against each other for the thrill of it.

Ini drama makin aneh saja alur ceritanya. Makin lama makin membosankan.
