If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Master's Sun is available in Australia on Netflix and Kocowa, and in the US on Netflix and Rakuten Viki right now. A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 186 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. So Ji-sub sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Master's Sun keeps coming up in conversation. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Master's Sun from the crowd. Joo Joong-won is the arrogant, greedy CEO of Kingdom, a conglomerate that includes a supermall and a hotel. "Ghost whisperer” Tae Gong-shil, is a misunderstood outcast who can't keep a boyfriend or a job since a near death experience left her seeing needy ghosts. She feels compelled to help them resolve their earthly issues so they can move on to the afterlife... So Ji-sub and Gong Hyo-jin lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It was aired in 2013. Master's Sun earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Master's Sun is a strong candidate. Fans of My Demon will recognise the sensibility here immediately. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. So Ji-sub's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Master's Sun wrapped up in 2013, created by Hong Mi-ran and Hong Jeong-eun — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
