Synopsis

Oh My Ghost centers on Na Bong-sun, a painfully shy assistant chef at Sun Restaurant who can see spirits because of her shaman grandmother's bloodline. Her quiet life is upended when she is possessed by Shin Soon-ae, a ghost who died a virgin and is determined to lose her virginity before she can move on to the afterlife, taking over Bong-sun's body to pursue that goal.

While possessed, Bong-sun becomes bold and confident in ways she never is on her own, and this new version of herself finally catches the attention of Kang Sun-woo, the restaurant's arrogant star chef she has secretly loved for years. As Bong-sun and Sun-woo grow closer, the mystery behind Soon-ae's death starts to surface, pulling in Choi Sung-jae, a police officer connected to Sun-woo's family who is not the reliable figure he first appears to be.

Park Bo-young stars as Na Bong-sun, with Jo Jung-suk as Kang Sun-woo and Kim Seul-gi as the ghost Shin Soon-ae, in the 16-episode series that aired on tvN from July to August 2015.
