The similarity between Seoul Busters and Oh My Ghost lies in their masterful execution of the "misfit family" trope, a hallmark of director Yoo Je-won’s storytelling. Both dramas excel at taking a group of marginalized individuals—whether they are bumbling detectives or chaotic kitchen assistants—and transforming them into a formidable, cohesive unit. This transition is usually sparked by a highly competent but socially detached leader who eventually finds their humanity through the team’s unpolished charm. The humor in both series relies heavily on kinetic energy; characters often talk over one another, engage in clumsy physical altercations, and find themselves in absurd situations that test their patience. Ultimately, the shows resonate because they balance this relentless wit with a sincere undercurrent of emotional warmth, proving that even the most dysfunctional groups can find success when they embrace their collective quirks.
