Good direction, but worst writing

Spooky elements are good, but the backstory could have been much better.

There were many plot holes and absurd moments, but above everything else, the background story was so weak that it kept pulling me out of the story and made it hard to invest any real attention in it.

They hyped up the vengeful spirit so much that I expected something truly terrible to have happened to her. I thought the female lead must have done something seriously awful to her, something bad enough to justify that level of hatred even after death. They really could have handled this part much better.

I liked how they made everything feel like a proper horror story, they were actually quite good at creating that atmosphere. But story-wise, the writing was very weak. Some of the dialogues in the chapters were downright stupid and completely illogical. It didn't even feel like it was written by a single person. It felt more like copy-pasted bits from different people with no proper blending or consistency.

I don't know if I will rewatch this, but if I do, it would only be for the spooky elements and the cast.
