What do the cast of 'Hey Ghost, Let's Fight' promise to do if they reach their viewership rating goal?

The cast of 'Hey Ghost, Let's Fight' talked about what they would do to express their thanks should the drama go over 5% in viewership ratings. 

Kim So Hyun and Taecyeon promised, "If the viewership goes over 5%, then we will wear the same costumes from the drama and enact a fight scene at the exact place we filmed the fight scene." No takes backsies, Kim So Hyun and Taecyeon! We will remember that promise!

Kwon Yool, on the other hand, said, "We will think very carefully about [what we can do for the viewers] and announce our decision at a later time through [the drama's] official Facebook page." 

Some fans revealed what they personally wanted to see, yelling out, "How about riding roller coasters in ghost costumes??" and, "Free hug event!" 

At the free hug suggestion, Kwon Yool remarked, "If the drama goes over 10%, then Taecyeon will hold a solo free hug event."

“Bring It On, Ghost” Cast Talks About Individual Fears And Ghosts

On July 1, tvN’s new Monday-Tuesday drama “Bring It On, Ghost” held a press conference, where 2PM’s Taecyeon, Kim So Hyun, Kwon Yool, and director Park Joon Hwa attended.

During the event, the cast is asked if they get scared easily. Taecyeon says while laughing, “I naturally have a lot of fear. There are a lot of people who appear in the drama with special effects makeup, and I can’t even look at their eyes.”

Kim So Hyun says, “I’m scared of ghosts, too, but I like hearing chilling stories. Since I play a ghost in the drama myself, I’m not as scared.”

On the other hand, Kwon Yool says, “I don’t fear ghosts, but I do get scared by events in stories that may happen in real life. Our drama deals with realistic events that scare people, so I’m looking forward to it.”

Meanwhile, the first episode of “Bring It On, Ghost” will air on July 11 at 11 p.m. KST.

Hi adikkeluangman, thanks for sharing the articles. Looking at the photos, Taecyeon looks dandy in his suit. And I noticed that the two seemed to be friendly to each other.

*** Gosh, this might be Taecyeon’s last project before going to serve in the military next year. Sigh......... I guess this drama is a mixture of comedy, horror and romance.

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Bring It On, Ghost" Episode 2

 

 

Hyeon-ji discovered last episode that by kissing Bong-pal, she was able to recover some memories. Given how Hyeon-ji is helplessly wandering the world of the living as a ghost with nothing better to do, it is unsurprising that Hyeon-ji wishes to explore this unexpected development further.. However, Hyeon-ji is a teenage girl before she is a ghost, and rather than simply tell Bong-pal her motivation and ask for help, she decides to act weird and clingy for no good reason.

That's the central joke in this episode of "Bring It On, Ghost", in much the same way that the last episode kept making the joke be about how in this universe ghosts can be punched. And here too the repetitive punchline works out pretty well thanks to strong performances. Kim So-hyeon-I, being a teenage girl herself who is presumably still in high school, knows exactly how to act like an annoying high school girl. It is less clear how Taecyeon knows how to be an unresponsive college jerk- probably sense memory from his often ridiculous character in "Who Are You - 2013".

Whatever the individual reasons, the tone works. We still have yet to see the whole gang of characters coalesce into a cohesive group. Myeong-cheol bumbles around rather ineffectively in his own exorcism adventure before team mutually annoying get involved. Cheong-sang and In-rang, meanwhile, go from merely suspecting that Bong-pal fight ghosts to coming up with reasonably convincing proof. It is as yet unclear what they plan to do with this evidence.

While the pacing in "Bring It On, Ghost" could probably stand to be a little faster, enough interesting questions are broached just quickly enough to keep me very interested in what will happen next. The flashback to Bong-pal as a kid is fascinating, if only because it begs the question of how he could go from being scared of ghosts to frequently lacking any kind of reasonable fear of the spectral entities at all.

"Bring It On, Ghost" is solid enough as a gag comedy that I'm willing to give it a lot of latitude for the moment. Director Park Joon-hwa was responsible for "Let's Eat", after all, and even at its worst that franchise was always pretty consistently funny. Oh, final note for those of who you skip the previews- there's a bonus epilogue scene at the end. Up until now I've only ever seen epilogue scenes before the previews, so I'm not sure why the ending was edited in such a way as to make people likely to miss it.

Review by William Schwartz

"Bring It On, Ghost" is directed by Park Joon-hwa, written by Lee Dae-il-I and features Taecyeon, Kim So-hyeon-I, Kwon Yul, Kim Sang-ho, Kang Ki-yeong and Lee David.

kiss to remember

 

 

Ghost Girl regains lost memories only when she kisses Human Boy. Now that’s a smart plot device to keep our OTP kissin’ regularly even if the miracle cure doesn’t work all the time. I’ve only caught bits and pieces of Bring It On, Ghost! mostly because I find the ghosts too ghoulish despite it being a comedy of sorts. But I find Taceyeon and Kim So Hyun lovable in their roles and am glad there seems to be no awkwardness between them.

Their kisses are obviously fake-outs but I like their easy bantering and bickering. Plus, there is something sweet and endearing about their blooming friendship. Since Kim So Hyun’s memory is jolted by smacking lips with Taecyeon, I wonder whether they had a past together when she had been alive, with Taecyeon’s memories of her being erased when she died. I was cracking up on how she kept trying to kiss him. Check out the incredibly cute, boisterous OTP scenes below:

Agencies and their artists should work hand in hand but that's not always the case! Sometimes there's tension when things don't go the way the artists want, but they usually don't have much power or say in the matter.

Man, tvN is just knocking it out of the ballpark lately—the premiere of Bring It On, Ghost this week set a record high for a Monday-Tuesday show for the cable network, who must be very pleased with their choices lately. I admit to being a bit curious as to how this tvN ghost show starring Taecyeon would fare compared to this tvN ghost show starring Taecyeon, but have been pleasantly entertained so far. (Plus, I’ve always had a soft spot for Taecyeon. He’s trying, okay?)

Taecyeon is currently starring in the drama “Hey Ghost, Let‘s Fight,” which airs on tvN on Mondays. He said this will probably be the last drama he stars in as he begins his military service in 2017.

In Decembr 2010, Taecyeon gave up his American permanent resident visa status so that he would be able to enlist in the South Korean military.

In 2008, he had been deemed physically ineligible for military service and only fit for public service, due to his poor vision and a shoulder injury. Determined to serve in the military, Taecyeon underwent surgery and had another physical examination in 2013. He was deemed fit to serve in active military service then.

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Bring It On, Ghost" Episode 3

 

 

The format for this episode is mostly the exact same as the first two. Strictly speaking this is not a bad thing, since the first two episodes were quite engaging. But after a certain point rehashing the same jokes gets to be tiring however energetic and fun the relevant performances may be. Myeong-cheol is not a terribly competent priest, and also he tends to make gross sounds. Is the main purpose of his character really just going to be some variation on these jokes every single time?

Kyeong-ja fares somewhat better in that regard, because her main personality trait (man-chasing) at least seems likely to eventually get us closer to the main plot. Hye-seong (played by Kwon Yul) is the clear implied villain of "Bring It On, Ghost", but so far we still know almost nothing about him except that he has mysterious scars and is more upset about being attacked by a cat than he lets on. I mean, shoot, the same thing could be said about me, and I like cats.

The main ghost that needs to be put down this episode, while initially presented in a striking, beautifully shot setpiece, is ultimately little more than fodder for Bong-pal and Hyeon-ji to put down. They only hit upon her weakness by complete accident. But more problematic than that is how the ghost's killing spree begs the question of why more people in this universe do not believe in ghosts, since there's no other explanation for the murders.

The good parts of "Bring It On, Ghost" are the same good parts that were in the first two episodes. There's the usual great playful chemistry between Taecyeon and Kim So-hyeon-I- fights that Hyeon-ji inevitably wins on account of the fact that Bong-pal looks like a crazy person any time they have a confrontation in public. Now that Bong-pal and Hyeon-ji are finally explicitly working together, that's one more important part of the introduction out of the way.

All the same, can we please get done with the introductions very soon? I thought during the first two episodes that I could endure "Bring It On, Ghost"s combination cool spectral combat, childish flirting, and low brow humor indefinitely, but writer Lee Dae-il-I seems to be trying to test and see if that's actually true. I mean come on, really. There's so much interesting stuff in this world that I'd really like to know about sooner rather than later.

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Bring It On, Ghost" Episode 4

 

 

So apparently...ghosts can wear dresses? I don't have any big logical problems with this, it's just that of all the questions "Bring It On, Ghost" could be answering right now "can ghosts wear dresses" really strikes me as the most irrelevant one. Much like the previous episode, this episode is simply another restatement of the same plot points that dominated the first two. Bong-pal and Hyeon-ji have anatagonistic fun, Myeong-cheol is not a very good monk, Cheon-sang and In-rang are a couple of dopes, and we still have no idea what's going on with Hye-seong.

Really. Writer Lee Dae-il-I is still going on about that stupid cat issue, which is another very uninteresting story point to focus on in a drama that's supposed to be about fighting ghosts. I can't figure out what's going on with the pacing. It feels like each new episode of "Bring It On, Ghost" is simply an alternate version of the first one because the production team didn't want to completely throw out their old drafts.

Let's take Cheon-sang and In-rang. To date they're the only ones who have been able to, however ineffectually, locate ghosts. Bong-pal and Hyeon-ji are wrapped up in their own little worlds and only ever barely glaze over the backstories of the enemy ghosts before getting into fights. This is workable when the antagonistic ghosts are one-off jokes like the peeping tom schoolgirl crossdresser, or simple archetypes like the domestic abuser. But this episode and the last have tried to do actual pathos with its ghosts, to limited effect.

"Cheo Yong: The Paranormal Detective" managed to pull this off much more effectively, because in that drama the lead character and his allies were making a proactive effort to locate ghosts, so the story unfolded much more organically. "Bring It On, Ghost" is using the basic format of dealing with one-off ghosts without really understanding how that brand of storytelling is supposed to work. The result is colorful characters, yet not much else.

"Bring It On, Ghost" is starting to wear out my patience. I'm beginning to question whether this drama was ever actually properly storyboarded, or whether the pacing really is just that bad. Without proper variation and movement in context the greatest jokes in the world get stale awfully quickly, and "Bring It On, Ghost" had pretty low brow humor to begin with. I'd just really like to see more dedication to holistic storytelling and less to individual gags.
