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.
