*Minimal Spoilers*

Had really high hopes for this series as I'm particularly fond of plots that consists of helping various individuals that are interwoven with the supernatural.

Positives:
- Pretty decent ghost assist events with a few tearjerkers. This in particular won the most points.
- There is a good layer of humor and fun.
- It was also nice to see a few familiar faces from The Fiery Priest cast.

Negatives:
- The acting of the ML/FL was average and their combo really didn't vibe for me. Their romance is seriously heavy-handed with too many poor timing inserts of their scenes. I skipped through A LOT of this.
- They could have done better with subtleties of the ghosts just moving things around in public.
- While the pacing did well for the first half of the series, the latter started to drag and the flow increasingly declined until the end. With all the build-up of the initial events, the way it ended was meh.

This series would have done so much better if they removed the majority of the unnecessary romance scenes and spent that time focusing on more backstory of the main/support characters as well as putting more thought into the ending of the plot because they left huge plot holes. We don't even know how the two assistants became assistants for the ML. Would have pegged it at a lower score given the amount of screen time skipped, but some of the ghost assist arcs were done well enough to push it back up.
