In the show, he's a junior/senior in college & she died as a high school senior 5 years ago. So in the show she's technically a year older than him - although 10 years younger IRL - but it doesn't show. I would have guessed them within 3-4 years of each other. She seems so much older than 17.

Bring It On, Ghost
(2016 - Viki, 16 1:00 eps)

A college student uses his ability to see & touch ghosts to perform exorcisms to earn money. He meets a high school ghost who doesn't remember her life. An accidental kiss reveals some of her memories & causes her to attach herself to the ML in the hopes of finding out more.

I watched because I like Taecyon & Kim So Hyun was a bright spot in "Radio Romance," - so I'm on a quest. At 17, she was fantastic. There was an unnoticeable 10-year age gap. She's a very mature actress - acting since she was young. Loved her action scenes & the chemistry between the leads was good. The villain is super creepy & ghosts are nicely scary.

As often happens, a super-competent & cool FL falls apart toward the end and becomes too clingy & wimpy, but I fault the writing. Overall, it's a fun watch with a pretty good story.

Ugh, I HATE when "super-competent & cool FL falls apart toward the end and becomes too clingy & wimpy". Thanks for the review.

Also, when a high-school student has a relationship with a much older man, that will never not be creepy to me.

Those child actors "mature" VERY young!!

@EllenInEdmonton @whoosh I don't really think she fell apart at the end. Without spoilers she wasn't in a condition that allowed her to be daring and confident.

@whoosh This series has also got a Thai adaptation, as a result of CJ E&M teaming up with True Corporation, and creating the True CJ Creations joint venture.
With this agreement, there are numerous series that got their new Thai-language adaptations, with the two most popular ones being this series and Oh My Ghost.
But this also meant that if you were watching the originals on Netflix, the adaptations have taken over their place when Netflix's rotation has changed.

As for the adaptation of Bring it on, Ghost / Let's Fight, Ghost, it is mostly following the original but being reframed to fit Thai culture and there's also new additions to the story that weren't in the original, but apart from these it's mostly the same story with some modifications.

@whoosh I quite enjoyed this one - I wasn’t sure how they were going to bring it together and thought the twist was a nice way to do it

Yes! I was wondering how the "problem" was going to be fixed & the writer did pleasantly surprise me with that solution.

I just wish the writer had left the FL strong throughout.
