[HanCinema's Drama Review] Master's Sun Episode 3

"Master's Sun" is a fun show despite its creepy premise. The Hong sisters are great at delivering solid, fun, and quirky characters while also making these characters loveable. Relationships having always been the Hong Sisters' strong suit. Take the infamous relationship between Ae-jung and Pil-joo from Best Love. It was based in friendship and beautifully, naturally formed. Or the fun-loving friendship between Jeremy and Mi-nam in You're Beautiful - they didn't have a ton of screen time together, but they were still memorable.

Joong-won and Gong-shil

Gong-shil and Joong-won from "Master's Sun" are another strong Hong sisters pair on screen. Not only are they going to be a couple, but they have strong chemistry as characters. Combine that with the chemistry between Gong Hyo-jin and So Ji-sub and we have characters that we can root for until the end. Even the vaguely defined relationship between Gong-shil and Kang Won garners interest. Point: the relationships and the characters are good. No, great. They are the reason I continue to invest in this show.

That, and skinship, or physical touching, is taken to a whole new level. Not only does a hug have the usual K-drama sexual and emotional connotations, but for Gong-shil, it means safety. Hugging Joong-won is literally a sanctuary for her. Ghosts disappear and stop chasing her. She can shut her eyes without fear. It's such a wonderful addition to the already potent gesture. Especially since the desperation behind her hugs throw Joong-won for a loop. Her fervent desire to be protected plus the natural arousal of having a beautiful woman nearby really shake up the money-loving Joong-won and get him on the road towards love; or, at least towards understanding the very lonely Gong-shil.

Another story strength is the fact that Gong-shil can be possessed if she sleeps too deeply or if she's very drunk - no wonder she avoids sleep and alcohol! She is possessed by Joong-won's teenage girlfriend at the end of the episode and it showcases Gong Hyo-jin's amazing acting.

Gong-shil, ghost Hee-jin, and Joong-won

But then there are aspects of "Master's Sun", like the music, that detract from the atmosphere. At times, the music is fitting, like the soft, string-heavy musical murmurs during a scene when Gong-shil is waiting for a ghost to jump out. But at other times, it sounds like a circus pit orchestra is playing for the Three Stooges rather than the OST for a drama about ghosts.

The ghost makeup is getting better. The inconsequential ghosts still look like Halloween zombies, but the main ghosts are much more realistic and are actually frightening. When the shoeless ghost speedily dragged herself after Gong-shil, it was unnerving and downright creepy. However, while the special effects are improving, the episodic "ghost-of-the-day" format is wearisome. One episode isn't long enough to emotionally invest in a ghost's story and make the story complementary to the overarching relationships in the drama. Fewer ghosts mysteries would be better. And less cliched mysteries as well. This episode's ghost has a greedy husband who only wanted his late wife's inheritance.  

I want to see more of Gong-shil run from the ghosts or trying to avoid them in her daily life. I want Joong-won watch act like a crazy person while waving ghosts away and realize that she really can't get away from her "sixth sense".

Written by Raine from Raine's Dichotomy

"Master's Sun" is directed by Jin Hyeok, written by Hong Jeong-eun and Hong Mi-ran and features So Ji-sub, Kong Hyo-jin, Seo In-guk and Kim Yoo-ri-I.

Wow. Little sun (forgot her name) looks like the evil queen when she wore that green dress, and then she looks like cruella de vil..with the feather dress. Well, the dress might not look exactly the same but the "feeling" I get when I see her. Ooh goosebumps!!

"Master's Sun" So Ji-sub embraces Kong Hyo-jin

"Master's Sun" Joo Joong-won (So Ji-sub) hugged Tae Kong-sil (Kong Hyo-jin) to shelter her.

Joo Joong-won was going to use Tae Kong-sil's ability to see ghosts and meet with his dead ex-girlfriend Cha Hee-joo (Han Bo-reum) and find out the identity of this kidnapper who stole 10 billion won from him. Tae Kong-sil thought he wasn't over his ex-girlfriend yet and lied to him, "I remember seeing her before I passed out. She said she doesn't blame you. She said not to agonize over it. Don't suffer too much".

Joo Joong-won asked her if that was really what she heard. There was no way the accomplice to the kidnap, his girlfriend would have said that. Joo Joong-won was angry at her lie and said, "Don't lie, you never heard that. Were you trying to comfort me? Get out. Get lost".

However, Joo Joong-won started worrying about her when he heard that there was an accident nearby where many people died. He knew she was afraid of the ghosts.

He found her shaking with fear and hugged her saying, "Here's your shelter, hide".

Best show E V E R, hands down! Yeah ok, I'm anticipating myself (we all know dramaland sometimes play jokes on us). But honestly, it's been a long time since I don't get excited and enjoy a drama this much. Gong Hyo Jin is just too awesome to be true. 
@nona88 I was wondering what's the connection with KW aswell...

This show is exciting! It's been a while since I last anticipated a drama like this. It has everything I could ever asked for and I'm just hoping it'll end well. I personally don't feel the ghostly makeup were inconsistent or overdone, I think it's very suitable and adds to the suspense/horror of this drama. I'm loving SJS and GHJ chemistry on screen. Can't wait to watch the next episode. 
I'm also wondering who KW is and what's his connection to JW.

Warning : Naughty pic ahead and Not for the underaged
Edit: I decided not to post the pic, in case I get into trouble with the moderators, since it's really bad. Go see for yourself in Episode 4, somewhere at 19:38.
That must be the most obscene shape of an ice cream that I have ever seen. Now it makes me wonder if this was picked deliberately because of its shape *snicker*   I mean there ARE so many to choose from, right? And to make matters worse, I have never seen an ice cream being "warmed" that way =)) =)) =))

Btw I am guessing that SW is out there working for the kidnapper, whom he calls Dad (probably a relative of JW) and keeping tabs on JW to find the ransom money as well. Don't know why but spoiler tags arent working for me.
