Kim Seul-gi joins Oh My Ghostess as lusty virgin ghost
by girlfriday
What a perfect fit. If I had to cast a lustful virgin ghost to go around possessing unsuspecting drama heroines and turning them boy-crazy, I’d definitely put Kim Seul-gi at the top of that list. Okay, so she might be the only name on that list. The SNL Korea funny girl is the latest cast member to join the new supernatural comedy Oh My Ghostess, headed to tvN this summer.
Kim Seul-gi has been steadily making a name for herself in dramaland playing quirky supporting characters (Surplus Princess, Discovery of Romance, Flower Boy Next Door) and she always manages to make each one memorable and endearing. I can’t wait to see what she does with this one.
Oh My Ghostess is the new drama from the team behind the hilarious High School King of Savvy, and it stars Park Bo-young (Hot-Blooded Youth) as a shy young woman who gets possessed by a virgin ghost. She’s so timid that she has no friends and spends her days constantly getting yelled at by Jo Jung-seok (You’re the Best, Lee Soon-shin), the haughty star chef at the restaurant where she works as his assistant chef.
Kim Seul-gi has been cast to play the ghost, ironically named Soon-ae, for “pure, chaste love.” Well I guess it might apply to her human self who died a virgin. The character description calls her on par with a bachelor ghost for having the most regret in the afterlife, which of course is what makes bachelor/virgin ghosts mythically the most vengeful spirits. In this version she’ll mostly be comical with her relentless libido, turning Park Bo-young’s shy wallflower into a sudden man-chaser.
It also says that the ghost can’t lie, and if that means that Park Bo-young’s heroine also can’t lie while possessed? That would make for even more embarrassment than I hoped for. Pervy neighborhood ghost running amok and causing romance shenanigans? You know I’m there.
Oh My Ghostess follows Ex-Girlfriend Club on Fridays and Saturdays in July.

I, too, is worried about the romance part given the "possession" premise. If PBY will be possessed, then she's basically just a vessel driven by the wonderful ghost of KSG, and not really the one actively vying for the male lead's heart, no? Every "possessed' interaction will also be between the male lead and the ghost (but yunno, with PBY's face, i guess), yeah?
Shipping in this drama would be terribly confusing and difficult; this is what happens when you throw in the perpetually amazing KSG in the mix. Has a ghost-human OTP actually made it, ever?

I was wondering something similar. When 'possessed', will we see PBY play KSG's character? Or will we 'see' KSG while the male lead 'sees' PBY?
The setup sounds pretty funny. Lusty ghost leading him on while real person tells him to back off... Poor confused male lead... ?
It'd get too squicky if they have lusty ghost getting her way - or developing a future - using another person's body. So I don't think getting on the right ship will be too difficult.

I think that since previous reports on PBY's character stated that she already have a crush on JJS for a while, KSG is just utilizing this attraction to appease her sexual needs? Like KSG is acting upon PBY's desire too. It's kind of win-win situation for both ladies. XD

as much as seulgi getting us (yes, me included) so high in hopes, aren't those perverted and embarasing scenes would be done by PBY?
im not familiar with any of PBY's drama. can anyone tell me if she could get my hope as high as KSG?

Park Bo Young is known as Movie-actress, therefore she has more hit movies (as lead) and only acted in Drama as supporting character.
But her acting is top notch if I may say, better than many actress at her age.

The first two mentioned films are great, but you may want to pass on Hot Young Bloods and save two precious hours of your life. That movie is utter crap and a terrible waste of the great lead actors. *hides from the movie's fans*

I still think it would be funnier if Jo Jung-seok were the one getting possessed, by the female, lustful, virgin ghost. Though this being Korea I guess if they did do that they wouldn't have a broadcaster or star.

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I already heard that there was a chance that Kim Seul Gi would be casted and when I read the premise of this drama I immediately thought she was gonna be the lusty ghost because what else would she be playing but the most oddball character of this drama? I'm so happy, I'm going to be waiting for this to air. My smile, I can't stop it.
