This South Korean romance fantasy drama reaches a new qualitative level of emotional fantasy romance about a hotel for ghosts to rest before going onto the afterlife. This 16-episode television series incorporates and enhances the best of both English and European storylines using great editing and lighting with performances based on a riveting script that offers excellent use of flashbacks and unexpected twists and reveals that hit all the emotional highs of gripping relational dramatic performances shot and directed with patience and skill. The script is finely tuned and balanced between The Devil Wears Prada (2006) dynamics to the well-executed shift between drama, comedy, and horror that allows the audience to enjoy the whole storyline experience. This television series with its captivating use of classical, soothing, and haunting music (reminiscent of brief theme music from WarGames, 1983) fits perfectly into the story. Except for an early unreasonable scene with the lead character finding herself alone in a chase scene and poor choice of makeup, especially eye color, and a worthy effort but not completely brilliant satisfying ending, this television series is among the best and well produced television production of its kind.
