Korea Drama: Ghost Doctor

The Main Cast 

Rain as Cha Young Min
Kim Bum as Ko Seung Tak
Uee as Jang Se Jin
Son Na -eun as Oh Soo Jeong

Overall Review 

(Spoilers below, please do not read on if you have not watch the drama)

The genre of this drama setting is totally my cup of tea: 

Afterlife world, doctors, ghosts!

If one is expecting any horror and scary moments, there is not none in this drama. Its focus are towards between two men who seemed totally different and they learned more about each other with each episodes through this seemingly impossible ways. 

From point to point, it's ironic how Cha Young Min's arrogant method/character as a doctor came back to bite him when he become Ghost Patient Cha Young Min. And as the drama progressed on, it also worked on how destiny and fate played a big part for Tes, Cha Young MinKo Seung Tak and Oh Soo Jeong.

Want to see more on the the coma ghost who woke up after their surgery, want to see more of Cha Young Min and Ko Seung Tak in action as duo and also the love line for both the doctors although it's obvious Cha Young Min and Jang Se Jin were in a stable relationship and just short of a wedding bell while Ko Seung Tak and Oh Soo Jeong are not even "officially a couple" yet.

If only they have could used more episodes as only it was only till the last episode that they wrapped up all ends.

Overall a great drama, nice chemistry flow amount the cast.

Korea Drama: Sell Your Haunted House


Source of poster from https://www.hancinema.net/korean_drama_Sell_Your_Haunted_House-picture_1318896.html

Starring Jang Na-ra, Jung Yong-hwa, Kang Mal-geum, Kang Hong-seok and more solid acting stars, this drama has so much to offer.


The leading actor and actress

Jang Na-ra as Hong Ji-a, is an exorcist who helps to send spirits away residing/haunting private properties and in turn, sell the "cleansed" property through her company, Daebak Real Estate. Since her mother's passing, her mother's spirit has been following Ji-a and Ji-a seek for a strong power psychic to help put her mother's spirit to rest.

Jung Yong-hwa as Oh In-Bum is a fraudster but possess the power of a psychic.

More information on the cast can be found here.

The story 

Through each story, Ji-a (the exorcist) partnered with her psychic assistant to send the unrest spirits away. The initial awkward ties between Hong Ji-a and Oh In-Bum slowly transit towards a bond of companionship. 

My thoughts

The chemistry between the cast were awesome. It's really great acting for Jang Na-ra. She had such a serious face throughout the show and when behind the scene showed just how she break into laughter upon the word "cut". 

Also, this drama introduced (to me) a new ghost term - "egg ghost". 

If one is looking for horror and romance, then this drama don't really have much to offer on those aspects. It's more towards unravelling the mystery behind each unrested spirit and the ultimate main plot. 

Everything just blends well in leading to the main storyline behind.

I am absolutely impressed by the acting of the entire cast especially seeing how unique Hong Ji-a has made Jang Na-ra so different from the usual bubbly her. 

Seriously hope for a season 2 because of the storyline setting and the great chemistry between the cast.
