Beautiful Gong Shim (2016)

The Sh'Pill:

Awkward, weird, and little uncanny, to those who barely understand her. But smart, eccentric, and uniquely herself to those who’ve experienced her infectious, authentic, and uniquely brilliant self. To know her is love her. How can she be anything but Beautiful!?

The Pharma 5 Watch Guide!

Best Time To Watch:

Anytime of the Day! This drama is so bright, bubbly, funny, and fun that you keep up as soon as you start.

Prescribed For:

Newbies will love it for sure! Namgoong Min lovers might love it even more. It’s refreshing to see him in a bright and cheery role.

Side Effects:

Pretty fun and easy watch. Might have to revisit down the line to remember the things you loved about it.

Cast & Chemistry:

I rather enjoyed seeing the always so serious Namgoong Min, letting his hair done. Comedy looks so good on him and together with Minah, I thought they were a fun pair in paradise!

Addiction Level:

2.5 Pills – Some episodes are more addictive than others but it’s still pretty hard to stop watching.

The LONG PILL:

Oh My Ghost (2015)

Short Pill:
Don’t pass this by! It is VERY funny. The virgin ghost who takes over a body is as funny as the body who gets possessed. Great job by both!

It’s Okay, That’s Love (2014)

Short Pill:
