"Who Are You?" Review

Summary: A 16-episode KDrama about a female police officer (Yang Si-On) who woke up from a 6-year coma with the ability to see ghosts after touching objects that were sentimental to the people before they died. After waking up from her coma, she was transferred to the Lost and Found department in the police division where she met her colleague, Cha Gun Woo (Taecyeon). Although reluctant at first, Si-On uses her newfound ability to find closure for the spirits and find the culprits who killed them with her colleague Gun Woo.

Personal thoughts: Admittedly, I watched this drama because of Taecyeon. Truthfully, his acting in this drama is not that good and I find Gun Woo to be similar to his personality in real life. I find the acting of the female lead and the second male lead quite good, acting-wise and I feel that they have better chemistry then between the female lead and Taecyeon's character. Acting aside, I find the main storyline quite good and it kept my interest in the show but once it concluded, the show became boring to me. The suspense and mystery was really well done in my opinion, keeping me on my toes on what is going to happen next. I feel the last episode unnecessary in my opinion, at least the second half of it. And the ending is quite anti-climatic when it is implied that Gun Woo can see ghosts after waking up from his coma. The show then ended with a mysterious mirror that is believed to be of sentimental value.

Final Rating: 7.5/10
Overall, I enjoyed the show. I really love the mystery and the unexpected twists here and there. I personally find the romantic moments between Gun Woo and Si On quite awkward to watch though I'm not sure whether it was due to their lack of chemistry or because most romantic scenes make me cringe in general. But I don't think it's the latter because I enjoy watching the romantic scenes from the movie Enchanted. I find Si On's actions quite irritating at times because she could be quite stubborn at times and putting herself and others in danger but mostly, other people get harmed in the process rather than her. Since she's the main character, obviously she would be immune to getting killed and hurt and I hate it when this happens. The ending seems to allude that there's going to be a sequel in the future. For me, the story wrapped up itself really nicely as the true bad guys were caught. I'm uncertain what's going to be the new story if there is a sequel but if it's interesting, I won't mind watching it all the way to the end.
