tvN Mon-Tues Fantasy Medical Drama Ghost Doctor with Rain and Kim Bum is the Surprise First Hit of 2022 with Ratings Increases Each Week Through Episode 8
I’ve been meaning to start my Ghost Doctor watch but January 2022 has been a blur so it’s still on my to-start list. But every time I see snippets posted by tvN on its various SNS accounts including Facebook and Instagram I can’t help but watch because those scenes are always interesting. It appears the domestic viewers feel the same way as well with the drama premiering at 4.432% in the first episode and through episode 8 it’s gone up nearly 2% to hit 6.597%. This week is odd with lunar new year eve on Monday so the ratings fell as viewers are huddling around family dining tables but the feedback on Ghost Doctor is that the drama is interesting, does medical but with the body sharing twist, and allows leads Rain and Kim Bum to interest frequently and exhibit tons of bromance chemistry. Those who have watched along please share what’s good/not so good about the drama because I feel like it’s one of those underdogs that’s not as buzzy as other dramas but the slowly increasing ratings definitely show the underlying quality.

I checked it out on a whim and I’m glad I did, it was much more entertaining than I thought and most of all the characters are endearing. Rain seemed to be this standard cold, aloof and arrogant doctor but there where snippets of something more that made him interesting and who knew he was harboring a whole bunch of dorkiness! Most of these characters tend to be really dislikable and go thru personality change or redemption arc, but I like the this character is multifaceted from the beginning. Sure he is arrogant and he knows he’s good at what he does but he also genuinely cares for his patients, this is all uncovered early on. And then the bromance with Kim Bum is absolutely adorable, it’s a delightful show really. Exactly what I need to balance out the darker dramas like Through the Darkness. I really recommend it! The ratings are deserved 🙂
It’s not exactly groundbreaking but it is very entertaining to watch. I personally enjoy the bromance relationship between Kim Bum and Rain, they’re both adorable to watch.
Overall it is a good show and am glad I checked it out cause I was very wary at first.
Ghost Doctor is a must see series as it has all the elements -comedy,medical drama facts. It is a feel good series and you can not stop wondering whats revelations and twists that will come in the next episodes. Rain and Kim Bum are doing a great job. Kudos to both of them
Not watched either but I’m glad to hear it’s actually interesting, I’m waiting till it’s finished in case it falls apart plot wise towards the end (I’m just worn out from years of dealing with this from kdramas :().
Ain’t this the truth.
Somehow similar to “Bad and Crazy.”
If I have to choose one to watch, which one? and why?
Um not watching Ghost factor, but Nas and Crazy is legitimately very good, funny as hell, and thebromance is top notch. I most definitely recommend it.
It’s an enjoyable show, Rain and Kim Bum have an adorable chemistry . Honestly , from all the cast of ” Boys over flowers”, Kim Bum is the best as an actor . His trajectory isn’t a popular one but he is definitely a comedian who can portray various roles .
I would guess Kim Bum has been offered leading man roles, especially after Tale of the Nine Tailed, but I think it was smart of him to choose Law School and Ghost Doctor.
It’s a delightful change. Love the story line. Kim and Rain have great chemistry together and I love them both so it’s a hit for me! After being a nurse for 50 years, I have often thought some Docs were defintely possessed!;) This is a must watch!
I watch medical dramas so I can safely say the medical aspects are so minimal it hardly qualifies.
Watch it for the bromance. Even though I normally don’t care whether its there or not. The chemistry is palpable.
For once I actually have no clue why they even had the 2 actresses. So far they have no space in the plot and don’t contribute towards anything.
The directing is decent and its fast paced enough. It’s about the only Kdrama I’m following now since I am on F4 Thailand- this drama is addictive and another 2 Cdramas. I am waiting for a great Kdrama to come as I am waiting for Tracers to end before starting.
Aside from Through the Darkness, I am watching this with my sister. Glad about the ratings.

I’m happy for Rain. I liked his Come Back Mister drama that got trounced a few years back by DOS, which I grant was a fun cheesy romance for the first 12 episodes anyway. He actually has solid comedic timing. I’m waiting for it to get further in the run before jumping in.
I liked Come Back Mister and his last drama, Welcome 2 Life. Neither could gain any traction, unfortunately. I’m glad Ghost Doctor is doing well, especially for a Mon-Tue drama. It’s been a while since tvN had any ratings luck in that slot.
Kim bum really made a good career since boys over flowers and created his niche. Happy for him. He was so cute as playboy! Rain at this point dont even need money lol. Purchased a 80 million usd building in cash. But i guess there is room for new more building lol
It’s a really fun drama. Kim Bum is adorable in it and Rain is adorkable. I’ve always liked that he’s not afraid to look silly. They have great chemistry, and I love their bromance. It has a kind of old school feel that I enjoy. Definitely the first pleasant surprise of 2022.
I love it. The ghosts and their stories remind me so much of Hi Bye Mama.
This drama is so good. I just loved it.
