Comedic Bromance is the Stronghold of This Drama

Ghost Doctor is one of those dramas that can lure you wanting more episodes especially in the first half of the drama but it also shows a lot of filler scenes in the second half of the drama, which for me personally slowed down the progression of the plot too much, making the ending, while happy, not fully 100% satisfied. It did feel rushed towards the finale. Did I still enjoy it? Of course. Is it consider a 2022 top favorite? Maybe not, at least for me.

NOTE: It is a doctor drama so there is some medical terminology being used and explained in this drama. However, if you're looking for a drama where surgeries and the patients are the main focus, then this drama isn't it. Yes, there are some scenes of surgery and all but there's not much in-depth analysis being shown to the viewers.

What I enjoyed:
* Bromance is the main player here. We see the growing relationship between our 2 male leads Young Min and Seung Tak. These two are the comedy duo and why I kept watching this drama. You also see the character development within each character.
* Tess being a helpful spirit not just to other spirits but to humans as well. Though only a side character, he played an impactful role to a lot of people.
* A lot of comedy. I sure did laugh a good amount

Problems I have with this drama:
- Slow progression on the 2nd half of the drama: We had story material here about Seung Tak's struggle on being a doctor/surgeon and had the idea that Young Min is going to teach Seung Tak on becoming a surgeon, however the issue here is that the writers condense all of this into 1 to 2 episodes, instead of showing a gradual progress within every episode. As I stated above, it does seem like a lot of filler in the second half of this drama with a very slow progression in plot.
- Useless villains lasting until the very end: Honestly, the writers revealed that Young Min is a ghost that can possess Seung Tak early on which is okay but why have the villains until the very end. They didn't contribute much at all and were a waste of valuable screen time. Should've got rid of them around the 2nd to last week (or even earlier) of the drama.
- Our Coma Ghost's Stories: There wasn't enough of it and I felt like it was an open ending for them. I wanted more screen time for them and an actual closure to their story. Replaced the useless villains screen time with the coma ghosts, then I probably would've have more satisfaction with this drama.
- Though I usually like romance, romance wasn't needed here in this drama. Writers focused too heavily on that which I do blame on the progression of this drama sad to say. This is one of the rare occasions where romance would've better as a minor event. Also, I just couldn't feel the chemistry between Young Min & Se Jin, despite this drama keep showing their past, Seung Tak & Soo Jung seemed more like friends overall. I think the coma ghosts Bo Mi & Hoon Kil had a better chemistry as a couple but of course, the writers crushed my hopes on this by leaving this open ended.
- Female lead characters seemed more like support than main. I expect a lot more from a character that's consider a lead, but the writers just didn't deliver it for our female characters. Nothing really stands out from them as the male leads took over the spotlight.

To summarize, this drama is a good watch for the bro-ship. You'll laugh at their bickering scenes and silly moments. You'll also grow to like some of the support characters like our coma ghosts. Everything else is just kind of average and skippable.
