We say goodbye to another good series. I greatly enjoyed watching this and altho some would say the plot is predictable, it was still nice and kept me guessing some of the things til the end. Kim Bum is the star of the show for me.

i never expected to love a drama with such a ridic plot so much! i thought it would be just a silly comedy but so many scenes left me with a nice warm feeling or teary eyed. it was really sweet.  in general the beauty of it was in little moments and details - like when we got to see soojung eating with her mother and grandfather/cleaning lady. it was a small thing but incredibly sweet. it was also very touching that the story ended on young min being first and foremost a surgeon doing his job while training seung tak aka next generation of surgeons.


it's good that this drama actually spent some time on fleshing out how much this situation affected both young min and seung tak. sure, it's a fictional ridic plot about ghosts but imagine being trapped like that without ability to act and having to borrow someone else's hands as a surgeon? or letting someone else borrow your body and being proxy of their success? these are strange questions but i liked seeing scenes showing how much both guys were affected by it. this is good writing!


there was only one thing i didn't like -  the whole 'evil rich chaebols' trope. there was no point in it at all but thankfully it didn't really derail plot, so i could just ignore it.

If asked to describe this series, its very heart warming. The stories of the resident ghost were well-delivered. I initially thought they were there just because. But really they were important part of the story. The stories behind each character were really nice and how they are connected to each other.

I cant really explain what this is all about but I just enjoyed watching it and felt good after each episode.

Kim Bum has become a favorite 😊 From Tale of the Nine Tailed to Law School to Ghost Doctor.

I love Kim Bum back to the Boys over Flowers days. I am so glad to see him in all these dramas. Each one he is a very different character, really well!

I did not realize Rain was such a good actor! I loved every actor and character in this series.
