(Bear with me! My Review is lengthy n detailed!!)

A fun watch of horror thriller with a Good mix of family drama.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
Expected a lot seeing the Title "See Your Haunted House", expected a very interesting, gripping, a very thrilling n SCARY HORROR but not upto the mark.

Instead, this is a Pleasant Good horror without much "jump scare" horror.

FINAL IMPRESSIONS:
This is DIFFERENT, not the usual horror trope.

LESS HORROR, LESS COMEDY, more revenge seeking or relieving spirits n their wishes fulfilment journey by MLs on behalf of ghosts n their families ;)

Also it's MORE of a FAMILY DRAMA (either Main leads' past or ghosts' back stories) than a horror comedy thriller.

Overall, GOOD PLOT!

The intertwining of Haunted property /Ghost cases and the Personal Past Story of the Main Leads with a Horror Touch, is WELL WRITTEN.

Direction, Production, Cinematography are Good.
Screenplay n Editing are REALLY GOOD.
Even the Visual Effects are Good.
OST n BGM suits well to the mood / tone of the drama.

**** EPISODES:

At times, PACING is Slow n boring
Remaining times, it's Very Good n Thrilling.

First 10 eps are general ghost / haunted property cases (1 case per ep )
Here FL's importance is more than ML
( lil flirting by ML, lil comedy )

Last 6 eps are more about the past of Main leads.
This is more like a suspense family drama, dealing with dead family members. That suspense is well maintained.
(Here flirting is zero, zero comedy)
Both their characters are given equal importance here n both are highlighted individually too.

Last 4 eps are more interesting.
Pacing is faster than that of previous 12 eps.
A bit rushed but this pacing is good n right, since a lot of actual story happens in these last 4 eps only.

Back story of the MLs / past mystery is revealed in ep 13.
Few unclear plot points previously are made clear here.
(like why mom being an exorcist, not a virgin psychic, was possessed in the past etc)
Everything makes sense and every move of every character looks reasonable .

**** HAUNTED CASES:

Dealt around 18 exorcism cases (including mom, uncle, villain, assistant's baby, 2 powerful Faceless ghosts, called egg ghosts here).

Initially, each ghost case looks mediocre but the after-story of the ghost, adds the actual EMOTIONAL DEPTH to each case.

The scenes where the Ghosts are identified, are SCARY.
The powerful Egg faceless ghosts are VERY SCARY, especially the second one.

The entire story of second faceless ghost is THRILLING n EXCITING, with a lot of NAIL- BITING SUSPENSE
There is a constant fear n suspense about which one of the MLs will survive or will they be able to save each other n how etc .

The exorcism part of each ghost has some action sequences .

Some ghost stories are of normal, vengeful ghosts.
Some are very Good.
Some are very Sad n emotional, for eg, sugar eating old man, old woman in a flat etc.
Some cases are solved without using that usual hair pin, without the need to stab. These are the Only Cases where the ghosts are relieved / warded off Peacefully, for eg, mom, lil gal, neighbour's son etc .

The Psychic ML absorbs the memories of the ghosts during the exorcism and retains those for a week or so.
During that period, he is very funny in some cases.
For eg, in old woman's case, he starts cleaning everything, unconsciously 😂
In some other cases, it's painful n dangerous to ML.

**** CHARACTERS, ACTORS:

Liked ML, he is silly, lovely n fun to watch :)
Jung Yong Hwa is handsome n his acting is natural in this :)

He, his friend and one thug guy are the comedic relief in this drama to some extent .

FL is cold n grumpy but warm hearted (Tsundere)
Sad all the time for her mom - reasonable .
(She never smiled in this entire drama :o, only once she gave a faint smile to her assistant in ep 15 :) )

But she is VERY COOL whenever she saves ML everytime.
(Usual KDramas are like hero saving the damsel in distress but it's reverse here, haha
Anywys, by the end of the story, even he saved her 2-3 times).

I liked her DEDICATION to save every living person troubled by spirits and also relieve every wandering vengeful spirit n help it to go to the afterlife .
She really can't ignore a spirit wandering around.

Towards the end of the story, she changed a lot with the love from her team members (ML, his frd, her assistant lady).
It's good to see FL lively n active. Her changed dress sense is good.
She is so sassy in those short outfits! 😏

I want to see more of this happy FL n naughty ML duo! :)

*** Sorry for the SPOILER! ***
(Everyone, who is expecting Romance in this Horror, should know this :))

It's BROMANCE, not ROMANCE!! 😂
(Yeah, I know it's a gal - guy Main Leads ;) )
(Watch it, u'll know what I mean)

Here, the Primary Focus is on Freeing the Spirits as a team, so can't expect romance between colleagues/partners (Main Leads) .

Also the writers are so oddly creative n intelligents to write the "condition" that a Psychic should be a Virgin!
Or Leave the Team, if u prioritise Dating 🤭

Poor Virgin Psychic, In Beom!
No romance, no dating for life, if he has to remain in this job! 😂💔

**** SOME LIFE LESSONS:

Ep 13, one lady to ML:

How not to become a vengeful spirit:
If someone helps U, be Grateful n say thank u immediately.
If someone gets hurt bcz of U, Apologize immediately.
If U have loved ones, Show Affection every now and then.
LIFE IS SHORT, DON'T HOLD BACK ANYTHING!

This Life lesson how not to become a vengeful ghost is good.

**** SOME MOMENTS THAT I FOUND FUNNY:

1) This is DIFFERENT, not the usual horror trope.

Usually, in other horror movies, a ghost creates a menace n the "ghost busting team" learning it's sad story, helps in fulfilling it's last wish / revenge and the ghost leaves PEACEFULLY!

Here, Ghost is forced to Leave First by that stab at heart, whether it's angry or relieved.
n later the team avenges its death or fulfills its last wish, which The Ghost has No Clue at all :o

So the ghost's close ones are at PEACE, not the ghost itself !? :o
Writers r oddly funny!😂

POOR GHOST, NO RIP ( No "Peace" in Rest) !? :o 🤭

2) In usual horrors, ghosts possess anyone and everyone 😂

Here it needs a potential person (psychic) to possess and create menace / take it's revenge etc.
At times, I found this funny but again, this is demanded by the story - this shows the actual importance of the Psychic ML role

(For eg, villain is not troubled though uncle's spirit is beside him all the time. Uncle's spirit spoke to him angrily, only when he possessed Psychic ML in ep 6 or 7 fight scene.)

3) *** SPOILER ***

I found "the end" of the main villain, funny (slipped on stairs n just RIP? 😂)
But then the TWIST is surprising n GOOD.
That funny end is not the actual end of him n his "real end" given by MLs is deserved n well written .

4) A lot of product ad placements, like in Thai dramas ;)

**** THE ENDING:

VERY SMOOTH n HAPPY CLOSURE to this story.
It was a PLEASURE to watch that Warm Ending :)

I need a SEASON 2 now :)

Intially FL is all sad, cold n also the entire team has some disturbances among them.
So the cases solving etc is lil dull :/

But by the end, everything is cleared n all formed a really close bond :)
The team dynamics changed drastically :)

So now, I Need to see More Cases solved by this team of 4, with this HAPPY n GOOD RAPPORT:)

****
My Rating is 8.5 / 10
(0.5 for the smooth, warm ending for this genre, else only 8)
n if pacing is right throughout, then would be 9 .
