Venda Sua Casa Assombrada

Lets be honest.

Korean television shows are 99% this: Two people who first don't like each other falls in love. The end.

This, is a different beast however.

The greatest part of this show is the smaller stories told in each episode. Regret, resentment, grief, Losing a loved one, losing a parent, losing a child.

And it hits you hard.

It's been a while since I've cried this much.

The actors are really really good. Everything about the production is top notch (for a television budget).

However the strength of the show is the television format. This would have made a good movie, but the longer runtime allows it to become something great. It allows it to tell not just one story, but multiple stories woven together as well as having a main story as it's core.

It's really really really well written and acted out brilliantly. Baek Hyun-joo as Chang Hwa-mo (the restaurant owner) gave one of the most believable performances I've ever seen.

The only reason I'm not giving this 10/10 is this: It's not long enough.

Unlike shows like 'The sopranos' that ran for over 6 season. This is a stand-alone single season with 16 episodes. That is still over 10 hours and probably one of the most rewarding binges I've sat through for a long time.

The first episode however is a little bit weak. So if you're reading all of the positive reviews here and start watching without feeling convinced. Do yourself a favor and keep watching, it gets better and better. And better.

There is no romance and that's a first. This drama is a horror drama with comedy. It's really entertaining and fun to watch. Its storyline is simple but it never gets boring or cliché. It shows a new way of exorcising ghosts and they have done a good job at that. It also gives importance to the life of every character in the show. Overall, it's a simple show that you can watch without getting bored.

This drama was wholesome. Although the plot was predictable, each episodes were interesting. From character building to storytelling- it was crisp and correctly paced.

I liked all the main characters. In Beom and his hyung definitely had a great chemistry - no wonder the PD praised these two and asked us to watch out for these two!

The side stories of all the ghosts featured were really fun to watch some were upsetting while some were creepy - as in how they were lead to their death.

The message that the drama wanted to deliver to audience I think it is very loud and clear if not in between atleast by the end of the drama.

The show has done justice to its title *Daebak real Estate/ Sell your haunted house* I'm glad they focused on the main plot that revolves around this buisness. It's surprising because many of the dramas with romance tag usually focuses only on romance these days the plot gets deviated to a love triangle 🤣 So this was definitely refreshing.

The acting was amazing.

Hong Ji Ah as a female lead was very bold, intelligent, Sensitive when required, straightforward, witty and sarcastic.

Usually the so called strong/savage female leads in few kdramas are insensitive things and hurting innocent people and also being obsessed with someone she/he likes or are seen forcing their feelings on that person but Hong Ji Ah stands out from this lot to modern description of savagery/strong woman. I'm glad they built characters with lot of thoughts and didn't rush anything in anyway.

In Beom on the other hard was that one person who made this drama a light hearted one - must say this must have been extremely hard for Young Hwa since he has to act as good as Na Ra. I'm glad he did that because he's definitely not sidelined. Everyone noticed how much he has improved over the years so this role is one of his best one so far. More powerful one as well since he had to potray alot of feelings in this drama

Subtle hints of romance was more than enough for me as it didn't kill the main plot so I'm glad I decided to watch this show.

New kdrama watchers will definitely enjoy this one.

However, if you're someone like me who has been watching kdramas for a decade then you might find it repetitive and have a difference of opinion. Nevertheless, I personally enjoyed it and loved it too Will miss this show and the cast. Their relationships were too pure to forget.

Loved it alot.

One of the rarest kdramas that is interesting from the very very beginning to its end, doesn't seem to be too long. Yong Hwa and Nara's acting, CGI affects everything was awesome.

This series is fairly good with a solid story and an interesting theme. In the occult scene, this one can hold its own. The series also explore its own world while exploring past events that impacted the present of the main 2 characters. The story focuses more on the tragic story, exorcism and everything related to it. The romantic angle is kept to a minimum probably to create an extreme atmosphere of stress. If you are into such themes, this one will be a good one to watch.
