Started out good but the end was not satisfying

So the first I'd say half of the series were good, it was kind of a mystery trying to solve all the bad things happening. Also, you went on this journey with the main female character while she tries to remember her past all the while dealing with ghosts, a mysterious man (the King of ghosts) that quite literally fell out of the sky who seems to know her but then tries to act like he doesn't. Then you get to about the middle and all the sudden she gets whacked by a ghost and he ends up giving her all her memories of who she was back turns out she's a god and he's a god. The original malicious spirit ends up just being a dad who was murdered before he could take revenge for his daughter, but then you find out there's a bigger evil being that was behind all they mysteries and the malicious spirit figuring out how to return to the mortal world. By about episode 15 I knew who the bigger evil being was even though they kept trying to reflect suspicion from him. I hate saying anything bad about the actors because I couldn't do their jobs but maybe in other shows and other roles he's great in this one he was horrible. Every time he had to be really evil his eyes would get real big almost bug eyed, his mouth would open wide to show of his teeth (seriously reminded me of horse teeth) he'd do these stupid I guess supposed to be evil laughs, and he'd get one ridiculous demon hand with the long black nails that were red at the skin I guess so you think they grew out of it so they were bloody maybe, but literally just one hand. His arm can also just grow long so he can reach out and touch you across the room. Then he'd try to make his voice I guess sound like what he thinks a demon would but he sounded stupid. It was seriously bad over acting. By the 16th episode I was over seeing his face completely. The whole time you're watching from about episode 12- 16 or 17 you can't help but wonder if these characters are all stupid because it's so obvious who the bad guy is. Oh and he's a bad guy because 1000 years ago the lead female dared to love someone else and not him and chose to die instead of be with him. Like get over it. Even in modern day she still wants nothing to do with him, and he's obsessed. Yet at one point she acts like if she stays with him he'll magically just get over his obsession. From episode 17-19 there's a whole lot of sitting around just waiting. Finally you get to the last episode and you think okay now there can be this showdown how will the beat this "big evil" and literally there is the worst little battle and then the guy literally disintegrates and gets sucked into the sky with no explanation of where he went, is he gone for good, is he dead? Who knows they never again mention it. The main female leads friend who through the entire show is tormented and put under and evil spell but only ends up holding onto a small amount of humanity due to this guy that falls for her ends up losing him because he dies protecting her, though we find out later that they a couple that each time the reincarnate will end up back together. You think the main female dies because it's never fully explained that when she gets her memories of her original life 1000 years ago she loses her god status and her soul starts to dissipate. They never explain why she loses her god status but the King of ghosts was able to remember 1000 years ago and his past life with her. It ends up that Queen of I believe the underworld uses a loophole so that she doesn't disappear for good and gains back her status of a god but under a different person like everyone is stupid and doesn't think oh she looks just like the god that got sucked down to earth. Just by far so many holes in the story and just unsatisfying. It could have been a great story but the acting wasn't that good and parts were predictable. Then just left with no real satisfying kill of the bad guy, he just poofs into the sky and who knows where he went. 10/10 don't recommend wasting the time to watch this.
