''Ghost Theater'' is a KoreanWebtoon by LICO.

Rahee Ku is an up-and-coming teen actress, who has been spoiled by her success. After receiving an award, she has a petty tantrum on the ride home, which causes a traffic accident that kills her parents. She survives, but the emotional shock has [[FrozenFace locked her face]] into a neutral expression, unable to express emotion. Unfortunately, this means her acting career is over.

Wandering the streets despondently, she finds herself drawn into a mysterious theater, where she is compelled onto the stage and possessed, acting out the part in a tragic play. For this is the Ghost Theater, where spirits that are BarredFromTheAfterlife are given a chance to work through whatever trauma or unfinished business is holding them back from passing on.

Most people would freak out and flee, but Rahee not only returns, but browbeats the manager into giving her a permanent position. For on the stage, in the brief moments she's possessed, her face works normally, and she has hope it may cure her condition.

But it will be a harrowing job, for many of the spirits have terrible trauma to work through, and not all are necessarily innocent victims themselves...

!!The webcomic contains examples of:
* AssholeVictim: Most notably Pureun's father, whom almost no readers shed tears for, but also the targets of the teacher Byungsoo Ma. He's willing to kill anyone, teacher or student, who stands in the way of his advancement or could out his crimes, but since almost the entire school is filled with [[KickTheDog dog-kickers]], it's a little difficult to wag a finger at him.
* BarredFromTheAfterlife: The theater's purpose is to help the dead resolve this issue.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Pureun Shim was an innocent teenage girl, whose hideously irresponsible father sold her to human traffickers to support his gambling habit. In death, she seems to hold no resentment, simply wanting see him one last time and say goodbye. It turns out to be a ruse to bring him to her so she can murder him from beyond the grave.
* CessationOfExistence: Seeking out the theater is a risky prospect for the dead. They'll either work through their trauma and enter Nirvana, or fail and be extinguished. Many spend years or sometimes decades as a restless spirit before they're willing to take the plunge.
* GreyAndGrayMorality: The deceased are rarely guiltless victims. By the time the full story comes out, the reader is often left in some doubt precisely whom to sympathize with.
* FrozenFace: Rahee has one due to the shock of indirectly causing her parents' deaths. Being possessed gives her brief respite.
* SpoiledBrat:
** Rahee at the beginning of the story. She begins learning empathy as she helps the ghosts with their problems.
** Many of the students at Seoyeon High School are rich brats protected from the consequences of their actions by their influential parents.
* TheStoic: Rahee ''appears'' to be, to anyone who doesn't know her story.
* WillingChanneler: Rahee, Paddy and Caron allow the spirits to possess them to act out their parts in the plays, and work through their issues. This is not without risk, since a malevolent ghost can refuse to relinquish the body.
