If you are bothered by... – over the top clowns (I laughed maybe one or two times at the main comedic duo's antics) – laugh track noises to tell you when to smile (though they're much more subtle here than the terror-goats of the Reply series) – inconsistent universe rules (what a ghost can or cannot do, when a ghost can change their appearance, when a ghost can teleport, who a ghost can be seen by, how and when ghosts can ascend to heaven, ...) – inconsistent visual effects (there are at least THREE pointlessly different CGI effects for the FL ghost teleporting, as if every episode had a different animation intern working on it) – rather mild jumpscares (it's far from horror, but if you're a 10/10 scaredy cat this ain't safe for you) – blood / death / 'scary ghost makeup' (as above) – shows that do "one case per episode" but also have a parallel main story
... you should either avoid this, or expect disappointment.
I have a question... How did her ghost friend come back to life?
It just makes no sense. The last episode throws random characters from earlier at the screen as filler content, kind of like the season 2 finale of Hana Yori Dango, or Star Wars IX.
Yeah it defiantly wasn't the best. I didn't like the seniors in the beginning, I found them really annoying and…
1.: It's explained that the mother of ML was a very powerful force-sensitive level 9000 wizard. Uhhhh, I mean she (and her bloodline -> her son) are just very powerful and thus make for great hosts for an ambitious spirit. The antagonist has strong choking powers beyond what a human body could accomplish, and you can imagine inside ML this would be amplified yet more.
2.: Out of spite, because they drove the spirit out of ML's body.
(4. indeed makes no sense, and if it wasn't rather unspecific to the new viewer, it'd definitely need a spoiler tag)
5.: At some point Mr Monk told ML that he could get an infinitely expensive surgical procedure to stop seeing ghosts, and that's what he's saving money for, as mentioned rather early in the show. Whether this is a real thing or the monetary sum was just meant to deter ML from even trying is never addressed, like so many other things.
Spoiler requested. Would somebody please explain the conversation between the Fake Monk and Bong Pal at the end…
I think they just made a backup weapon either before the first exorcism or immediately after to prevent "reinfestation". What detail specifically do you want explained here though?
Once she woke up from her coma, it seemed like they forgot the premise of the show. I don't even like horror,…
She has the memories, sort of, sometimes, but it's very vague and unspecific like literally everything else in this drama. She happily goes ghost-hunting "again" in the last moments of the show, after all: dressed the same way, with the same (titular) slogan, etc.
Can someone explain why Jungpal, in the end, decided not to pursue Deoksun and confessed the way he did at the…
Two reasons: - plausible deniability of it being a sincere confession // because she wasn't receptive and only stunned, he quickly backtracked and declared it a joke - he vowed to give his military ring to his love (beyond that he didn't need it anymore, so it was left in the restaurant)
Out of respect for his friend Taek he gave Taek more than enough time to win over the girl, not knowing that Taek was similarly trying to avoid contesting.
– the 'stealth breakup': one character planning a perfect date for the other one with the plan of leaving them right after
– characters refusing to communicate (without which the show would be 3 to 6 episodes shorter)
– couple separation timeskip in the last episode, often extremely contrived / forced / illogical
– final episodes that barely have anything to do with the main couple
– over the top clowns (I laughed maybe one or two times at the main comedic duo's antics)
– laugh track noises to tell you when to smile (though they're much more subtle here than the terror-goats of the Reply series)
– inconsistent universe rules (what a ghost can or cannot do, when a ghost can change their appearance, when a ghost can teleport, who a ghost can be seen by, how and when ghosts can ascend to heaven, ...)
– inconsistent visual effects (there are at least THREE pointlessly different CGI effects for the FL ghost teleporting, as if every episode had a different animation intern working on it)
– rather mild jumpscares (it's far from horror, but if you're a 10/10 scaredy cat this ain't safe for you)
– blood / death / 'scary ghost makeup' (as above)
– shows that do "one case per episode" but also have a parallel main story

Additional ones, VERY spoilery, listed below.
For me, Black is one that came so close to being in my top 3 dramas and then disappointed me so very much. I was angry at it for days!

For what it's worth, I've been on both sides of the high schooler/ university student relationship, and from what I can recall it wasn't weird.
What detail specifically do you want explained here though?
(It's unclear and unexplained.)
But she accepts the ML as her lord and saviour fairly soonish.

- the first episode is quite bad,
- the ending is murky.
What's for sure is that they don't employ "Korea's best producer".
