Possibly Gong Yoo and Lee Jong Suk’s most loved roles till date, they play a goblin and god of death respectively. This drama starts out all fun and games but gets pretty serious a few episodes down. Watch it for the two love stories, but more than that, for the bromance between the two mythical characters.

Park Bo Young is true sparkle of this drama, where she stars as shy sous chef to the handsome chef. All seems pretty normal until we realise that a seductive ghost has entered and taken over her body, transforming her personality completely. The charm of this drama lies in watching Bo Young switch into her two personalities.
