‘Ghost Doctor’ Season 2: Why Rain & Kim Bum’s Medical-Fantasy K-drama Deserves a Sequel
After almost two months of entertaining the viewers with Kim Bum and Rain's bromance, "Ghost Doctor" officially bid goodbye, leaving fans hopeful for season 2.
The medical-fantasy series opened in 2022 with a show-stopping plot and, not to mention, the amazing chemistry among the cast.
Apart from the duo, the "Ghost Doctor" cast includes Uee, APINK's Son Naeun, Tae In Ho, veteran actor Sung Dong Il and more.
Given that this is Rain's comeback K-drama, fans were thrilled to see the singer-actor grace the small screen with his stellar acting skills. Of course, he didn't disappoint as the 39-year-old star delivered an unforgettable performance.
"Ghost Doctor" is helmed by "The Heirs" and "Your Honor" director Boo Sung Chul, and penned by Kim Eun Hee, the genius behind the megahit dramas "Winter Sonata," "The Snow Queen" and "My Fair Lady."
The tvN series follows the story of arrogant and self-centered cardiothoracic surgeon Cha Young Min, played by Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji Hoon.
The plot thickens after the top-notch doctor gets caught up in a tragic accident, leaving him in a deep coma for months.
Interestingly, he transformed into a coma ghost and met people just like him, including Tess, portrayed by Sung Dong Il.
