An amazing drama from start to finish ❤❤❤❤
When I first heard of the concept of the drama, I immediately thought about a minor plot point from Korean Odyssey where the FL used her supernatural ability to make a living by selling haunted houses after cleansing them out of bad spirits. That idea was quite underused in that drama since it's more focused on the character and its Monkey King lore so to have an actual series that focusing on the exorcism itself and the stories of haunted houses and ghosts was really a great thing.
I love the fact that Hong Jia was not just a gifted exorcist but also a strong fighter (which is necessary considering the nature of their jobs) unlike how the character in Korean Odyssey who can't really fight on her own. It was a refreshing change to have a strong FL character like Jia who could stand on her own, despite some disadvantage that she may have. Jang Nara really brings out Jia's strength of character as well as vulnerabilities to the fullest and made us want to care about Jia's journey throughout the series.
Oh Inbeom also was quite an interesting character as well as a strong psychic who ended up becoming a conman due to his past. And it was fun seeing how Hong Jia and Oh Inbeom's life started to change the more they work together as a team.
The ghosts and haunted houses and the plot revolving around them also were quite interesting as we see the different reasons why these people become unrested spirits and how Jia and Inbeom would try to release them from suffering. And we also get to see some sad or despicable tales on why the deaths happened and see how some evils from one's greed and selfishness brought harm onto themselves. And by trying to ease those spirits' suffering, our leads continued to learn more about themselves and attempt to break free from their sorrowful pasts that caused them to lock their hearts away from others.
Sell your Haunted House is a refreshing tale about exorcists in modern times and it had been an enjoyable journey for me to be able to get to know these lovable characters and stories.
