Ghost Doctor (2022)
9/10
A memorable series to watch over and over again.(long review)

Warning: Spoilers
This is probably one of the best comedy medical drama to watch, go give it a try!

The storyline is very unique, it's not your typical medical romance or serious drama. It focuses more on fantasy, between ghosts and one living doctor, but its definitely not horror.

Even if Rain is here, I think every actor brought this show. Starting from the villains, to the coma ghosts, and everyone. Rain and Kim Bum did not disappoint in portraying comedy, they literally made us laugh. Having the sad scenes, it effectively made me tear up too!

There are lessons to learn in this show. There's unconditional love, where even if they hurt you the most, you'd still love them till your very last breath. Genuine friendship-despite the differences, there will be always a special connection between you and them. Helping one another, giving small or big things makes people happy, so let's give a lending hand to one another. And lastly, A true doctor would never disregard other patients. Every patients deserves another life, whether it may be impossible or not. This show would remind you to always reflect on your actions, because your ways may hurt other people.

Despite the pro's in this story, there are cons that didn't necessarily ruin the show but I believe it somewhat might annoy you(anyhow, I'll go from minor to major irritations). Starting off with the shakey camera, this happens most of the time. While watching the show I was kinda hoping it would stop in some of the episodes, but no. It continuously kept on shaking throughout the whole series. Second, there are so many unnecessary flashbacks, a scene you saw 2 minutes ago would be showed off again. Do I have to see the same scene over and over again when I just saw it? Next, The "I want the money and power" genre is used too much on dramas, but I think this helped the drama have it's own arguments. Fourthly, the shadows did not help make the ghosts obvious that they are ghosts. From what I know, ghosts don't have shadows(?) so I wish they edited that out. Fifth, By the middle or almost end of the story, some people knew that Koh was being possessed by Youngmin. I dont think this should've had happened. Lets be realistic, no one would believe that Seung-Tak was being possessed besides himself. But hey, Dr. Jang, Dr Ahn, the Administrative Director, and Soo Jeong believed that Seung-Tak was being possessed. Sixth and Seventh, The coma ghosts stories were a cliffhanger and never got their happy endings. Sure, Bomi and Hun-Gil survived, but did they get to admit they had feelings for eachother? Especially Hun-Gil? And Guk-Chan, what happened after he was released in the hospital? There was so much potential in them because without them, Young-Min would be a stupid roaming around ghost. Eighth, if they added romance, then the romance should've been atleast fluttering. In relation to the 2nd con, the flashbacks of Dr. Jang and Cha were so repetitive. Was skipping meals and living together is all they did? Finally, It was very unfair that Young-Min remembered what happened while he was in a coma. What about the other ghosts? The rule was not remembering what happened while being a ghost. Moreover, the ending was probably rushed when Cha was already alive. But it didn't fail to be sad.

Extra: i wish they would release a season 2 with the same casts. I would lovingly and gladly support this show again and again!!!!!
