I just laid my eyes on this. So far it's pretty interesting.. and at time shock me too when the image of ghost appeared XD. It can be slow at times though but I'm saving more of my opinion for the next episodes. One episode is not enough to judge the whole series I know, and besides I also heard nice thing about this series. Currently also downloading 'Teru teru ashita', which I learned to have many reference to this series plus same actors/actresses and also deals with supernatural thingy. The first episode title is 'even if I die, I'll protect you'. (spoiler maybe?: highlight to read)I can't imagine living with a ghost without knowing he's a ghost, I'm going to freak out once I learn the truth. I'm still not sure whether this will go to the horror side or comedy.... I'm going to continue watching. Holiday is great, I'm on drama-watching marathon :)

I should hunt for the opening song, kinda like it :) and will post it here too once found..
