Bring It On Ghost Episode 2 Recap

I need something to lift my mood. I finished Episode 6 of ‘Sweet Stranger and Me’ and watching Nan Gil’s heart break is breaking mine. So, fingers crossed that this show will do the trick. If the last episode is an indicator, I think it will.

Bong Pal is walking down the street, a frown on his very bruised face. He stops to look at a group of grade schoolers loading into a bus. Seeing a mother with her son makes him think of his own mother.

Bong Pal as a boy, waving to his Oma, who is across the street. Oma’s gesturing at Bong Pal and a ghostly shape appears behind her. It doesn’t just shove her into an on-coming car, it throws her into it. So much for starting this episode with something funny. Bong Pal remembers Oma’s eyes as we hear the heart monitor indicate that she’s dead.

Bong Pal crying at Oma’s funeral. A creepy ghost apparating in front of him and grinning evilly as he slides away in fear. Why didn’t Oma come and see him if he can see ghosts? Poor Bong Pal. At first I thought this ghost was Oma, but it’s not. Just creepy. He hides under a table and cries.

Bong Pal at school. Teacher asks why he doesn't ever play with his friends. He’s always playing by himself in the corner. She coaxes him to come play outside. They play the Korean form of Red Light, Green Light, where he hides his face and says that the moogoonghwa flowers have bloomed! But everything goes bad as he turns around and the ghost from Oma’s funeral appears. I really can’t tell if it’s Oma or not. It just seems strange that she would look so menacing to him, if it was his Oma.

Bring It On, Ghost Episode 1 Recap

Series starts with Park Bong Pal (Ok Taecyeon) walking down the street. He stops. In the alley to the left, a thief is running, loot in hand. Police are running in pursuit. Bong Pal takes off after them. Taecyeon can run. Bong Pal narrates that there are a variety of people that exists in this world… Thieves… Cops… Thief throws some trashcans at the cops and they go down. Bong Pal just jumps over them and keeps running.

Thief and Bong Pal dance around a table. As thief rounds the corner, he runs into someone and falls to the ground. Instead of stopping, Bong Pal keeps on running. He stops for a moment and then we see people being shoved out of the way… by nothing. Oh, wait. Black mist appears and it’s a really ugly looking ghost in a suit. He expels what as got to be some nasty breath. Bong Pal narrates that there are ghosts. Ghost like him that are part of this world. Bong Pal yells at Suit Ghost to stop.

Bong Pal ends up in an empty building. There’s a growl. Bong Pal looks up to see Suit Ghost drop down to the ceiling to attack him. Instead of screaming or trying to scoot out of the way, Bong Pal the ghost right in the face. I watched it three times and it made me laugh every time. The look of shock on the ghost’s face. Heh.

[Episode One]

Next day, Bong Pal is curled up on his bed facing the wall. Phone’s alarm wakes him. He staggers into the bathroom – and I already know I am going to like this show. He’s scratching his butt. That's totally a real person thing to do, but it just strikes me as funny, too. He’s barely awake as he sits on his toilet and brushes his teeth. The bathroom door creaks open slowly (and loudly). Bong Pal stops brushing and looks in its direction. He narrates that he sees ghosts, as the ghost *floats* in the doorway.
