Actress Park Bo-young has earned a new nickname, “queen of romantic comedy,” with her latest TV series, “Oh My Ghost,” which ended Saturday.

Park, 25, whose acting talent has been acknowledged in movies including “A Werewolf Boy” (2012) and “Hot Young Bloods” (2014), dominated small screens with the tvN series, playing a woman who becomes a ghost medium.

Media reports said Park, who debuted in 2006, passed the test of demanding Korean TV viewers with her role and consolidated herself as an A-list actress.

The series depicted restaurant assistant Na Bong-sun (played by Park) whose soul is compromised by a ghost and begins to influence her friends at the restaurant, including the restaurant owner, whom she loves.
