+ Bong-pal and Hyun-ji continue to be completely lovely. I love how their relationship is progressing. I love his moments of consideration for her (the ice cream, sharing his food). I really loved him burning her her own suit because "you're my partner", aww! I liked him keeping why he was late for their amusement park date a secret because he knew it would hurt her to know he was with Seo-yeon. It was nice to get some jealousy on Bong-pal's side after so many episodes of Hyun-ji being jealous.

+ Both of them look really good in their all black suits. A+ work Cheon-sang.

+ I like how the show switches it up in how it deals with the ghost cases every episode. Both in what the ghosts want and in what is needed to defeat them. I loved that with the ghosts in the asylum they weren't monsters who had to be defeated but people who only wanted their remains discovered so they could be at rest.

+ The water ghost and how that was resolved didn’t entirely work for me. I do love a guilty Bong-pal running to the rescue and saving Hyun-ji, and the underwater shots were great but I couldn’t stop wondering how this even works. Can ghosts really be drowned? I was so distracted wondering about why she was unconscious. Also Bong-pal defeated the water ghost way too easily which lessened the impact for me.

This is really a reoccurring distraction for me. When they were at the asylum and Bong-pal 'saved' her when the bookcase fell all I could think was - she's a ghost! The bookcase falling shouldn’t have hurt her and thus there should have been no need to catch it

+ Cheon-sang and In-rang continue to be fun comic relief but I also genuinely like them. They can be a lot but they get moments of being genuinely kind/nice. Their relationship with each other is great. I kind of love their almost co-dependant closeness. I like their reliance on each other and how much they accept each other as they are. As friends their unself-consciousness in their physicality with each other is kind of great to see. They are so physical with each other! They're affectionate! It's great. But also pretty shippy. I mean they get their club room back and ended the scene literally cuddling on the couch (In-rang's head leaning on Cheon-sang's shoulder while he rests his head on In-rang's, their bodies pressed tightly together), hands clasped together.

Or how when Cheon-rang catches In-rang mooning over the photo and gets to the idea that In-rang might be looking at him, his immediate reaction is "Yeah, take me instead. You can have my body. Take me." and throwing himself at him. LOL, he jumped to that conclusion and embraced it very quickly!

+ I loved how Cheon-sang comforted In-rang after learning that 'Hyun-ji' didn't like the shoes - by pulling him to his chest and holding him. And following it with "That's ok, we can return them and buy something for me.", lol.

+ I liked the retreat episode for giving us more of the group bonding with each other. I also liked how it emphasised, especially for Hyun-ji, how isolated she is from the living. Even while right there she can't actually participate, and her sorrow over it worked really well.

+ I liked Cheon-sang jumping at the chance to help Bong-pal with his crush (even if the 'go out' chanting was a bit much) and his empathy for him when Seo-yeon revealed she liked someone else.

+ I liked the show letting Cheon-sang and In-rang know about Hye-ji. Their immediate acceptance of her was great. I loved Cheon-sang thanking Hyun-ji for doing good work on the first case after he learned about her. In-rang's crush on her is cute.

+ I love that at the asylum Bong-pal tells Hyun-ji not to touch anything, she apologises and then the next thing she does is to pick something up, heh.

+ Bong-pal's father's death shocked me and I was surprisingly sad about it, especially considering he's not even really a character, and it's entirely for Bong-pal. Bong-pal lost his mother, ended up estranged from his father and... then his father dies without Bong-pal getting the chance to reconcile with him? He still doesn't know his father's dead! It's sad and not the direction I thought the show was going in.

+ The display ‘kennels’ for the dogs at Hye-sung’s vet clinic are far too small and impractical and it bothers me a lot.

+ Is Hyun-ji's strange disappearance because she's waking from her coma (I'm 100% sure she has to be in one) or dying? Both could be very interesting. With the former there could be some juicy drama if she wakes without any memory of her time as a ghost, especially if Hye-sung then targets her. If the latter there could be drama with everyone coming together to try and save her. Not sure which I'd prefer. Maybe we can get both.
