TV Review: Ghost Doctor (2022) (Fantasy-Drama)

Ghost Doctor (고스트 닥터)
2022
16 episodes
MA15+
Jung Ji-hoon, Kim Beom
Fantasy-Drama
Netflix

The ghost of an arrogant surgeon with a golden touch possesses the body of a first-year resident, making him the most sought-after physician overnight. (Synopsis)

Ghost Doctor was an excellent series. The plot was interesting, with additional twists and turns keeping things going along the way. The pacing was spot on, and plenty of episodes-ends had me sitting on the metaphorical edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. Casting was perfect too, with the pairing of Jung Ji-hoon and Kim Beom in the leads, as they had a brilliant dynamic throughout, from their early antagonism to eventual friendship. The series has the usual K-drama blend of emotion, action and humor, and it's one I could see myself watching again and enjoying as much on a second viewing. It gets 5 stars from me.
