## Synopsis

Bring It On, Ghost (2016) is a South Korean fantasy romance series created by Park Joon-hwa for tvN. Nineteen-year-old ghost Kim Hyun-ji (Kim So-hyun) and exorcist Park Bong-pal (TAECYEON) team up to listen to and solve the troubles of wandering spirits so that each can finally rest peacefully. Their casework is the engine of the show: each episode centers on a different spirit with unfinished business, while the two investigators navigate the anxieties of college life and the complications of a bond that grows between a living man and a ghost who cannot fully touch the world. Supporting characters include Kwon Yul as Joo Hye-sung, Kim Sang-ho as Monk Myung-cheol, and Kang Ki-young as Choi Cheon-sang, who add weight to the investigations. The series runs one season of sixteen episodes, with a case-driven structure that gradually deepens into a larger emotional arc. Its tone blends whimsical humor with melancholy and quiet warmth, set in contemporary Seoul. Fans of Hotel del Luna and Tale of the Nine Tailed will find resonance in its mix of supernatural romance and gentle mourning.
