Ghost Doctor

Ghost Doctor doesn't have any heavy romance involved. This is a supernatural bromance between a star surgeon learning to shed his arrogant nature and a cocky young resident doctor learning to, uh, embrace the privileged circumstances he was born into on his way to the top.

Started watching the show due to Kim Beum, but Rain was terrific as well. The importance of doctors, and saving every human lives is well portrayed in the show.

Although it may feel a little stucked with the narrative in the midway, but the last couple of episodes makes it up. Ghost Doctor ends where you expect it to and the familiar journey has been comfortable and to some extent, memorable.

My Rating : 8/10.

A feel good fantasy K-Drama that sticks to the template & delivers a captivating series. An arrogant genius doctor Young Min is met with an accident, where he goes into coma becoming a "coma ghost" & ironically he is the only one capable of doing the surgery that could save him. Then there's the young resident Seung Tak who is also a genius doctor theoretically but to become a great surgeon, he needs to overcome his own fears. In addition, the young genius doctor can also see ghosts & is the only one whom Young Min can possess. How the duo of the living & the ghost learn to be a team to become better doctors they were destined to be forms rest of the story.

The series sticks to the basics, effectively establishes all the characters as usually seen in K-Dramas where a battalion of side characters turn out to be worth rooting for. Seung Tak's love story felt underdeveloped & rather sacrificed to elevate Young Min's love story. Mainly because their backstory was much meatier. It's a fantasy so creative liberties are taken in all the 16 episodes, the whole villain angle got resolved very easily, infact that sub plot gets sidelined entirely as the focus is entirely on the romantic comedy between the 4 lead pairs & the drama involving the patients. It is the performances that firmly elevate those routine scenes and the actors did give their best here.

With all it's blemishes, Ghost Doctor is still an endearing watch where even the filler episodes succeed in keeping one hooked.

I did expect Prof Cha Young Min not to recover however, the ending was acceptable to me and a happy one too. Prof Cha recorded himself (whilst in the body of Dr. Go Seung Tak) so as not to forget his 'ghost' existence story when he comes out of his coma. The medical action taken by the doctors were very exciting. The mental trauma that Dr. Go Seung Tak went through and how overcame it was very realistic. It shows that we should not regret our chosen vocations whilst alive and accomplish what we had set out to do without regret and in this case becoming doctors was to save lives.

I agree with others that the beginning is slow, and there are some other pads and fillers here and there. But the cast is excellent, and the bromance between characters played by Rain and Kim Bum is worth the whole series. They are hilarious, warm, and wonderful. Strongly recommended.

I love this so much. Rain oppa and kim bum oppa super funny and cute together. Love their bromance vibes. Definitely worth watching. For the weak in heart the surgery scene very unrealistic so no worries and so you may relax and watch it with a peaceful mind.
