Spoiler Alert! Cha YoungMin is hardworking and indifferent whereas Ko SeungTak is a chaebol heir whose family owns Eunsang University Medical Center. However, all is not sunshine and rainbows in his family as power struggles and political strife overpower love and relationships. Soon after Ko SeungTak is appointed as a resident at Eunsang University Medical Center, Dr. Cha gets involved in a complicated case that ends up with his soul being cast out of his body, leaving him to wander the hospital as a “coma ghost”. Surprisingly, he is able to possess only one body in this state: that of his presumed arch-nemesis Ko SeungTak. If that itself isn’t convincing enough, here are 3 more reasons why you should tune into “Ghost Doctor”!
1. A Comfort Drama
“Ghost Doctor” features a range of colourful characters that fill up the screen with their vibrance and draw us in with their stories. The leading characters themselves are supremely interesting, especially with their past affecting their present in a major way. You will laugh, cry, sigh, and root for the characters that will endear themselves to you in no time.
“Ghost Doctor” has the perfect balance of realism and fantasy that allows you to believe in its premise while also escaping from reality as we know it. At the end of the day, it’s all love and every episode leaves you with a sweet aftertaste. If that’s not a comfort drama, we don’t know what is.
2. The Bromance
One of the biggest highlights of “Ghost Doctor” is the dynamic chemistry and push and pull between Dr. Cha and Dr. Ko. With both characters being polar opposites, there is quite a bit of tension between the two which creates some of the funniest scenes. However, as they begin to understand and discover each other’s true selves, a genuine bond develops that is unbreakable. This is the kind of bromance we love!
3. Justice / Revenge
At the heart of the drama, “Ghost Doctor” is about fighting against injustice and claiming one’s identity by acknowledging and negating external influences that can often force one to put on a facade that is far from the truth. From the very first episode, we can see a storm brewing and a larger evil that looms over Eunsang University Medical Center. It will be interesting to see how our YoungMin x SeungTak duo roots it out and establishes a safer, healthier medical practice and more importantly, a just system. Are you watching “Ghost Doctor”?
