I started watching this show for Kim Bum, but I was blown away by Rain. The plot itself is amazing, script-writing mind-blowing, and the acting is the icing on the cake. There are certain times when you might feel annoyed, but stick around, it gets better. The characters are super entertaining, and you are in for laughs and tears.

The show ended on a good note with everything going back into its place.

Rain and Kim Bum's bromance throughout the show was incredible. The ghost characters added those extra laughs and made all the difference.

Overall it's a feel-good kinda show with a good storyline, direction, cast and I recommend you watch it if you haven't already.

I have to say that I expected the ending to be more twisted with Professor Cha passing away but staying in the hospital with Seung Tak. But needless to say, the actual ending works fine. It is always good for K-Dramas to end on a good note with complete resolution of conflicts and making peace with life.

The fact that our life time isn't finite is a sole reminder to do our very best and not regret in any spectrum you will be in, whether you will just cease to exist or in an endless dream. This drama covers the ups-and-downs of the nature of living beings.

I got tired of watching dramas of the same genre every day. Eventually I noticed a difference. A strange combination of mystery and thriller has been noticed in the play. In the midst of life and death, the beard is also taught to perform one's duty and to remain intact.

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.

This was heart warming, fun and beautiful to watch, both Rain and Kim are a strong duo together, the turning point in their characters and every feeling they felt through the change was on point.

You won't regret watching the long hours of these episodes, actually, once an episode had finished you will be wanting to see what happens next. Full of surprises and unexpected moments. This series will put a smile on your face for sure.

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.

The best part of the Korean Drama "Ghost Doctor" is the bromance. The chemistry between the two main leads is unmistakable, with smooth performances to boot and comedy overflowing their sweet interactions. Their relationship was, in addition, well-paced and it matured naturally rather than forced. That was aided by the well-handled body swapping.

On the other hand, the relationship between the female doctor and the main lead was boring, out of style and got things necessarily complicated, not to mention it added cheesy moments that didn't help with the main bromance.

That being said, the rest of the side characters were delightful and it was nice that they had their own ark that was finished and not left undone!

So, overall, 6 out of 10.

Amazing medical, fantasy series!

Amazing direction!

Amazing acting!!!!

Amazing all!!!

It's a must watch! :)

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.

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.

The story of this K-drama is well developed, despite being dramatic every second of it. Everybody cries and everybody fights. The bromance between the two male actors is well portrayed. They are very good actors. But the female lead... she is soulless. When she calls to her American peers you can barely listen to what she is saying (so soft spoken maybe shy to speak in English?). That voice tone is not good for the character since it was supposed she studied a medical degree in the USA...so, not good acting). The connection between the couple is not there. He is more expressive and intense, but she is like absent.

A very strong contender for the worst medical drama. The equivalent of filming two patients' beds and calling it a "hospital". From the very beginning they did such a poor job in setting building that it's constantly sticking out in your face. To give a few examples: The hospital is completely dependent on a single skillful witch doctor that otherwise everyone would be dead without his witchcraft which eliminated any hierarchy in the hospital. The hospital had no rules, anyone can come and go as they please, anyone can get a patient into the operation room and perform a surgery and no one faces consequences to anything they do because writing such scenes would take more effort. The hospital management is non-existent, there's only one guy in charge (the bad guy Tae In Ho) with no one around him or beside him managing the hospital. Even worse, the actor is known for his side roles as a subordinate character so giving him a position in charge while lacking any intimidation and gravity to his character has ruined the role and killed the little tension the drama had. There are more examples to this lackluster hospital setting but these were the most obvious.

However, if you managed to over glance the entire setting and just hyper focus on the main 2 leads then the drama is alright. The 2 main leads first encounter and the first episode had an abhorrent and despicable dynamic to watch on screen but, to my surprise, it got a lot better later on and turned out to be fun which was the only reason that saved the drama and made it watchable.

Good series each ep gets better--there is a few annoying parts but not alot-watch it and judge yourself.bet u will enjoy it. Shame uk dont have tv drama like this.

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.

I started this drama for Kim bum,but somehow got hooked by the storyline of this,it has a different storyline it focuses on the lives of doctors,i always have a special place for medical dramas,but this is a special medical drama with element of fantasy,story is progressing well,wanted to know how this is going to end.

I loved loved and ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS SHOW.

And as I mentioned just now, throughout the show I had this HUGE grin on my face.

The show is such a treat to watch. It's funny, it's witty, it's melodramatic, it's fun, and it's just amazing.

I was getting very disappointed in k drama story lines but altho the antagonism side of the story is a very repetitive one, the protagonists and the main story line of Koh Seung tak and Cha Young min was just beautiful.

I usually watch tv shows at 1.5x speed, but I always had to slow down on Young min and Seung tak scenes. They were just... ahhhh chef's kiss. Their bonding and the journey they both went through, Perfect.

A few things that needed working on: 1) The senior doctors acting so reluctant at the thought of surgeries felt very...weird. I mean even if you don't participate in many surgeries, at that age you've still gathered enough experience to get the work done. The amount of incompetence they showed, it's a surprise a hospital would even keep them. That was a plot deficiency because I can't expect doctors to be so repugnant to surgeries and still be employed.

2) After a couple of episodes, Seung tak really stops caring when talking to Dr Cha. It's like he's forgotten that living people exist. He'll be talking to Dr Cha in corridors, in the ER, in literally every place, even with people around. He would've been labelled a freak anywhere else and not wrongly so considering ghosts aren't supposed to be existing that way.

3) Dr Jang (or was it Kang?) was in America for a good 12/13 years and you can't possibly expect me to believe that she speaks English just like an any other Korean. When you live in a native country, you pick their accents and their dialect but she didn't. And that's a really big plot hole. The directors and producers should work on accent coaching too considering how globalized k dramas have become now.

4) 20 years ago, people had mobile phones? I mean even if they did, weren't pagers used to call doctors to depts and not phones? So far as I remember phone calls were really expensive when phones came out.

I had watched several medical kdramas, and this is one of the best! Not only medical terms but there are some mystery involved as well. Finished this only within 3 days lol never felt boring to watch this. A heart warming, touching and comedy genres mixed into one. You won't regret it. I also noticed there are some new or unfamiliar actors involved, but they still nailed it!

The episodes 1-6 still fine,and nice but episode 7 start to be nonsense. Episode 8 became worse and episode 9 was a total rubbish. Later episodes have many setbacks non logical common sense. The last episode is also a worse, wrapped up lousily.

Too bad that the more you watch, the worse the logic.

Not an ideal drama because too many dramas out there are far better. How can they still make such a quality in 2022?

Most awaited television serie of Rain Oppa and a great comeback Great storyline , interesting moments from one episode to another, something different and unexpected, very exciting.

Giving 4 stars bcs I couldn't watch more then 4 episodes even it was my second try ,but I couldn't bear that crape .big fan of korean movies specially fantasy movies .but this show was no where around fantasy or comedy .I was copy of good doctor just as ghost with extremely over acting .ghot who changes cloths ,in start its shows mr ghost can touch any thing later he opens doors and no one realised .ghost looking more then human, I mean come on atleast they should like ghost so we would have ghost feeling .. Remember ghost can't change cloths Either hair styles they should look blury.

And worst over acting ..even 4 stars are more then it's deserves.

I watched this because of Kim Bum and I started to like his chemistry with Son Na Eun in this drama. And I'm looking forward for the relationship of Go Seeing Tak and Cha Young Min.

I watched this because of Kim Beom. I love the chemistry between Go Seung Tak and Cha Young-Min. And I ship him with Oh Soo Jung who was the first to notice the changes in his personality when he got possessed by the coma ghost (Dr. Cha). Kim Bum and Son Na Eun looks so good together.
