Master's Sun Korean Drama DVD with English Subtitles - Romantic Comedy Thriller for K-Drama Fans & Binge-Watching Evenings

I remember a time when I used to watch the all-day Saturday marathon of Ghost Whisperer episodes on TV. This show reminds me, to a certain extent, of Ghost Whisperer. The ghost stories were interesting and touching and certainly kept the drama from any dull moments as far as the Ghost stories were concerned. I'm particularly fond of the ghost story in the first episode because it stirred a sense of real regret and sense of loss for me although the others ghost stories were mostly good as well.As far as the main story is concerned, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have watched this drama a few times and for me it lives up well to repeat viewing. I've grown to appreciate the dialogue so much more than I did upon my first viewing because my focus then was more on the story progression. I find the frankness between the lead couple quite refreshing and the hilarity that sometimes characterize their conversations is genuinely funny. I don't watch Kdrama too often because I find they waste a lot of time in dialogue, misunderstandings and useless scenes and they're just not worth the leisure time I have to spare. I think this drama use the time well.However, in this drama, I feel like the conversations and scenes weren't superfluous and they served the purpose of furthering the story, enriching it, and/or developing the characters. Also important, I find the interaction between Joo Joong Won and Tae Gong Sil quite believable. The honesty of their conversations, even when it's embarrassing from either character's point of view, lends a lot of credibility to their relationship. By the time I finished this drama, I felt that these two truly belonged together in a "forever" sort of way primarily because they grew to know each other so well and were so comfortable with each other. In a way, I find it amusing that they made me feel this way when their relationship was far less dramatic than other couples I've liked in kdrama that always had to go through a ton of odds to be together.Another enjoyable aspect about this drama is the lack of one dimensional poisonous character that normally hinders me from watching a kdrama again. There were no overbearing mother-in-laws, devious and manipulative friends, or just exceptionally bad characters. I deeply appreciated that Joo Joong Won was his own man in every sense of the word. There was nobody forcing him to do anything against his will. He made his decisions on his own. The other characters were also enjoyable to watch. Kang Woo, celebrity Tae, the Vice President and his wife, Tae Gong Ri, the blabber mouth security guard, etc were very likable and I found their parts in the story entertaining. I have an especial fondness for the Vice President and his wife. They're so good together that they're my favorite secondary couple in this drama.So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo-jin were superb in my opinion. I think it's my first time seeing So Ji Sub act until I watched Ghost but I find his capacity to act was explored and put to much better use in Master's Sun because of the many facets of the character, Joo Joong Won. He was excellent! I think Gong Hyo-jin acting as weirdo Tae Gong Sil was entertaining. lol When she's possessed, she really seemed like an entirely different person/character. I really liked that. I also really enjoyed the chemistry/dynamics between these two actors and the portrayal of their characters.As to the DVD, the picture quality is very good. However, I was very disappointed to find that the music from the soundtrack were mixed up in a lot of places. For instance, there were a few times when "You Drive Me Crazy" should have been playing and the words to the song even comes up on the subtitles but "Touch" is played instead on the audio. Something like that is especially noticeable because the subtitles confirm that the incorrect song is playing. The subtitles for the dialogue too at times does not make any sense. Like when Joo Joong Won threatened the manager in the first episode, the subtitles doesn't reflect that although his actions clearly demonstrate it. I think the subtitles are similar to Viki's but Viki's subtitles were better. I subscribe to Drama Fever and I think theirs are the best and makes the most sense story wise and from what is portrayed on the screen. I wanted to knock off a star because of the dvd but did not do it because of how much I enjoyed the story. The packaging and picture quality is good but I'm somewhat miffed that much more care was not given to the music placement and subtitles.Overall, I highly recommend this drama. The ghosts may be off-putting for some because of the horror-like aspect but the story of money-obsessed Joo Joong Won and insomniac-weirdo Tae Gong Sil is totally worth every second watching this drama.
