GENERAL INFORMATION

Oh My Ghost

KOREAN DRAMA

Synopsis

Na Bong Sun is a painfully shy assistant chef at Sun Restaurant, forever being scolded at work. She has a secret crush on the restaurant's star chef, Kang Sun Woo, and no courage at all to act on it — and, thanks to a shaman grandmother, she has been able to see ghosts since she was a child.

Shin Soon Ae is a young woman who died without ever experiencing romance, and who cannot ascend until she does. Determined to seduce a man and settle the matter, she finds in Bong Sun the perfect vessel.

Sun Woo, nursing a broken heart of his own, begins to notice how much bolder and more confident his assistant has suddenly become. Can Soon Ae and Bong Sun both get what they want in the end?
