Sometimes being possessed by a ghost is a good thing. That's how it works out for the timid character played by Park Bo Young in the upcoming drama "Oh My Ghost."
Her character Na Bong Sun is so shy that she has trouble making friends or getting anyone to notice her. Her shyness, lack of self-confidence and frequent mistakes working as a sous chef may have something to do with the fact that she sees ghosts. It's a hard thing to explain and the less people notice her the better.
Na Bong Sun has accepted the limits of her introverted haunted life.
But then thanks to her shaman grandmother, a seductive female spirit tales possession of Na and completely transforms her personality. The transformation leads to her getting noticed by the star chef Kang Sun Woo played by Jo Jung Suk.
Na Bong Sun has had a crush on the handsome confident chef for years but he never really thought of her as a woman before. He has many female admirers but his heart belongs to his lost first love. Is that the spirit possessing Park Bo Young's character?
Whether or not it is, he is suddenly paying attention to her.
And that can make things complicated when you are working together in a kitchen. What could complicate things further is the fact that Kang Sun Woo does not believe in ghosts.
Park Bo Young has appeared in a few dramas but can be seen in twice as many films. Her last drama was "Star's Lover" in 2008. Her recent films include "A Werewolf Boy" and "Hot Young Bloods." This year she can be seen in three films, including "The Silenced," another ghost story about the mysterious disappearance of girls in a boarding school, and "Mutant," about a woman having feelings for a mutant.
Jo Jung Suk's film debut was the 2012 film "Architecture 101," but he has since appeared in a few films, including "My Love, My Bride." This year he can be seen in "Time Renegade" and "Journalist." His last drama role was playing Shin Joon Ho in "You're The Best Lee Soon Shin."
The drama's director Yoo Je Won and writer Yang Hee Sung previously worked together on "King of High School Savvy," which starred Lee Ha Na, Seo In Guk and Lee Soo Hyuk.
"Oh My Ghost" is scheduled for July after the end of "Ex-Girlfriends Club."
