Cheo Yong (Hangul: 귀신보는 형사, 처용; RR: Gwisinboneun Hyeongsa, Cheo-yong; lit. "Ghost-Seeing Detective Cheo-yong") is a 2014 South Korean television series starring Oh Ji-ho, Oh Ji-eun and Jun Hyoseong. The first season aired on cable channel OCN from February 9 to April 6, 2014 for 10 episodes. The second season aired on August 2015 for another 10 episodes. Both seasons are also available on Netflix since July 2017.The series follows police officer Yun Cheo Yong as he solves cases with the help of the ghost of high school student Han Na-Young, her friend, fellow investigator Ha Sun-woo, and the members of the Wide Search Investigation Team, a special branch of the South Korean police that focuses on unsolved cases, eventually facing his own demons in the process. The show generally follows a Police Procedural format, and feels like a cross between Law & Order and Ghost Whisperer.The second season reunites everyone except Sun-woo and one member of the original team, who were replaced by new characters filling somewhat similar roles. Where the focus of the first season was generally murder cases with a supernatural angle and some outright supernatural cases, the second season delves into police bureaucracy and politics and the conflict of justice vs. law. | |

Say My Name: Inverted with Cheo Yong and Na Yeung. The former usually calls the latter high-schooler while she usually refers to everyone by general terms like uncle, gramps, or hottie. This includes Cheo Yong, and she only uses his full name when she's annoyed at him. | |

Mr. Fanservice: Park Min-jae and Han Tae-Kyung from the first and second seasons respectively. They're even treated as such in-universe. The second season also features appearances by some South Korean boy bands, just for the Fanservice. | |

The Stoic: Cheo Yong rarely shows expressions other than annoyance, anger, and intrigued, and speaks more to Na Young, the ghost, than to other people. | |

Took a Level in Kindness | |
| Cheo Yong / int_3dcc914f | comment |
Took a Level in Kindness: Season 2 Cheo Yong is noticeably nicer than season 1 Cheo Yong, even though he's still The Stoic. This is mostly due to the final events of the first season which allow him to get rid of a lot of his mental baggage. | |

Actionized Sequel | |
| Cheo Yong / int_4389e368 | comment |
Actionized Sequel: The second season has a lot more action scenes, sometimes with entire SWAT-equivalent teams while the first season deals more with more personal, smaller scale detective work that rarely requires major mobilizations. Presumably, this is because the WSIT was no longer seen as a fringe entity within the police department. | |

Powers via Possession | |
| Cheo Yong / int_46e6a4fd | comment |
Powers via Possession: People possessed by malicious spirits usually get increased speed, endurance, and strength. A spirit who has fully gotten used to a mortal body is pretty much unstoppable. The reason why Cheo Yong is such a badass is because he was trained to physically fight these monsters on top of being gifted with spiritual powers to counter them. | |

I See Dead People | |
| Cheo Yong / int_6459cc02 | comment |
I See Dead People: Cheo Yong can do this, which is one of his advantages when investigating cases, especially when he gets acquainted with Na-young and starts using her as basically his forward scout. Na-young, being a ghost herself, takes it a step further by being able to relive another ghost's experience when they make physical contact. If anyone else does this, it's usually a sign that they're either dead themselves or possessed. | |

TheMasquerade | |
| Cheo Yong / int_7095c87e | comment |
The Masquerade: during season 1, nobody outside of Cheo Yong and Soon Woo knew about the existence of Na Young, or the fact that a lot of their cases were solved with the involvement of the supernatural. This was averted around the midpoint of season 2 when Cheo Yong needed to exorcise an evil ghost that has possessed their suspect and was responsible for the murders. | |

Awesomeness by Analysis | |
| Cheo Yong / int_73733868 | comment |
Awesomeness by Analysis: Ha-Yoon, Soon Woo's replacement, was a lot more analytical in her approach to investigations. In fact, she managed to deduce that Na Young had been possessing her, and even managed to work out her age and time of death by studying the clothes she wore and her own behavior when possessed. On top of that, she managed to work out that Cheo Yong knew about her. It's particularly notable given that, unlike Soon Woo, she had no connection to the two of them at all prior to the start of the season. | |

| Cheo Yong / int_7d152a2d | comment |
Agent Mulder: Despite being mostly rational detectives, Soon Woo and Ha-yoon are a lot more willing to believe in spirits that most police officers. In both cases, it's because Na Young possessed them at some point. | |

Foreshadowing: In one episode in season 2, Na Young called out a ghost for not knowing the difference between a living person and a ghost. Later in the episode, she apprehended that same ghost while possessing Ha-Yoon, effectively masking her ghostly presence by hiding inside a living person. | |

Ghostly Goals | |
| Cheo Yong / int_c5835f29 | comment |
Ghostly Goals: Most of the ghosts encountered in the series were restless spirits who want to be laid to rest by having the truth about their deaths come to light and, in some cases, bring closure for their loved ones. We also see some ghosts who were content to play pranks on people. On the other hand, there are also overtly malicious spirits who just like to wreak havoc. In fact, the Big Bad of the first season was one. There's also Na Young, who's content to just hang around Cheo Yong and pretend she's a policewoman by helping solve cases. | |
