I beg to disagree!
Different from the reviews I’ve read which are all posted here, I believe Ghost Doctor is still the unrivaled kdrama release in 2022.
The story and the approach is very unique. I was excited for this drama because the sense of humor and sense of eeriness were both effectively used. Not too much of one element that it became overpowering. I also have never seen a medical Kdrama that has a similar plot as this so that’s a plus.
People are saying that the drama is poorly written? That the ‘supernatural’ concept wasn’t very much explained?
Well, those were my initial thoughts. At first, I was also curious as to WHY they were the ones allowed to go back and forth, yada yada. Then again, supernatural dramas are supernatural for a reason. There’s no need for a too scientific and logical explanation as to why and how. That’s why it’s supernatural. Not science, not nature can explain it.
Plot wise, it was nice to see how seemingly light the plot is, very straightforward way of story telling but they were able to make it entertaining and worth the watch (and the wait, since I watched it while it was ongoing).
Not gonna lie, it kinda did feel draggy during eps 3-5 but I think that’s because I had to wait a few weeks before I got to watch the next eps— affected by the New Years and all that.
The actors were AMAZING. And obviously, the main characters are Kim Beom and Rain. Not because Rain was paired with Uee, she’ll automatically be the main lead together with Rain and Kim Beom and Naeun the second leads— I think this has become a misunderstanding for some who are expecting more from the other “main characters.” I think the screen time distribution was justified.
Overall, I would SURELY recommend this one and rewatch it! I’m just giving it a little more time because it’s still very fresh in my mind— it’s that good, I can’t forget.
Do yourself a favor and give it a try! I know there are some negative reviews saying it’s mediocre and all but we all have our preferences! I definitely recommend this one!!! Go watch it <3
