Ghost Doctor

Ghost Doctor reimagines a hospital drama by tossing a top level surgeon into an impossible situation. After slipping into a coma, Cha Young-min discovers his consciousness occupying the body of a first year resident, Ko Seung-tak, a bright but impulsive rookie who knows little about the hospital's politics. The two men must share one body and operate as a single medical unit, each bringing a different toolkit and approach to the job. In the bustle of a busy hospital, their uneasy partnership becomes a test of ego and competence. As emergencies pile up, humor softens the tension while ethics and life and death stakes keep the pace fast.

Created by Boo Seong-cheol, Ghost Doctor premiered in 2022. The series stars Rain as Cha Young-min and Kim Bum as Ko Seung-tak, with Uee, Son Na-eun, and Kim Jae-yong in supporting roles, blending medical drama with comedy and sci fi.

The premise of a veteran surgeon inhabiting a rookie's body offered a fresh take on hospital life and drew attention for its mix of humor, mystery and sci fi touches. The show sparked talk about doctor patient dynamics and the constraints of medicine in popular culture.

Critics and fans respond to the tonal blend of brisk humor and tense medical moments. Central themes include identity and mentorship, the limits of expertise, and teamwork under pressure. Rain and Kim Bum anchor the series with chemistry that keeps the balance between comedy and drama.
