Childish FL and overused tropes


I didn't like the way they made the FL's character so childish and annoying. Not to mention, the women in the show tend to be victims or have things happen to them, as opposed to making things happen like the men. There are also too many male characters as opposed to female ones.

Dislike:
—Repetitive use of "will they, won't they?" It was bad enough the first time around, but they repeated this thrice. Old tropes.
—The way the FL’s character is written: she’s super annoying, but that is not the fault of the actress.
—One character hiding things and meddling for the other characters’ “own good,” and then telling the truth for no apparent reason. If they were protecting this character all this time, why the sudden change? So many awful things could have been avoided if he was truthful and forthcoming sooner.
—Conceited ML
—ML character is too tragic.
—Ratio of male to female actors

Like:
—Special effects
—Unexpected reveal for one character



Save your precious time and watch something else. If you’re interested in this genre, I’d recommend “Oh, My Ghost,” the Thai version. I haven’t watched the Korean version.

If you’re looking for supernatural or fantasy dramas, here are some suggestions.
—The Legend of Shen Li
—The Witch’s Diner
—Mystic Pop-Up Bar
—Sell Your Haunted House
—Missing: The Other Side (be prepared to cry)
—Memorist

Too many cliffhangers and unanswered questions

I wanted to love this season as I gave season one a rating of 9/10. But I just couldn't. There were too many cliffhangers and unanswered questions.

The Bad:

---No resolution against the biggest challenge of this season.
---Unsolved missing cases.
---No mention/dropping of a large conspiracy.
---Unexplained changes in how the ghost village and its residents are allowed to behave -- upending last season's world building.

The Good:
---More screen time for female cast members.
---Mystery and resolution of one of the main characters’ abilities.

Unless you enjoy watching shows with huge cliffhangers and unanswered questions, I’d recommend against watching this season. Season 1, although it has a slight cliffhanger, is still watchable.
