📺 Korean Tv Series Review: Sell Your Haunted House (대박부동산 )

Hong Ji A is the owner of Daebak Reality, a peculiar real estate agency that deals only with...hunted houses. Ji A comes from a family of exorcists and uses his business to perform these exorcisms in order to send the unrested spirit to the other world.

She has her trustworthy secretary (and only friend) Joo Hwa Jeong to help her manage Daebak Reality and to hire a psychic every time she needs to perform an exorcism; psychics are usually young men who can be possessed by the spirit so that Ji A can 'kill' them and send them away for good.

Oh In-Bum and Heo Ji-Chul have been scamming people for a living, using sophisticated devices to make their naive victims believe their houses, shops (even entire buildings) were infested by ghosts and induce them to pay huge amounts of money to get rid of them.

While trying to scam their latest victim, the duo encounters Ji A, whom they first believed was another con artist.

Ji A finds out that In-Bum is a psychic, and even more powerful than any other she had worked with, so he could be the one to help her send away a very special spirit that she has been with her for 20 years...

While working on various cases, Ji A and In-Bum will clash with Dohak Constructions chairman, Do Hak-Sung, a remorseless and unscrupulous man, who has shared a past with Oh In-Bum's beloved late uncle.

My Opinion👍

I already knew actress Jang Na Ra from "The Last Empress" and "I Remember You", but her character in "Sell Your Haunted House" seemed so dark and different that I go curious.

She gave once again an amazing performance and proved to be an outstanding actress, being able to pull off the fierce and righteous Hong Ji A and yet making her soft and humourous side come out when needed. 

High praises also for the styling crew, as they've been able to make Ji A look chic and always on point while wearing only black clothes. But the fashion award this time goes to secretary Joo (Kang Mal-Geum), who's always overly dressed and still makes it look like it's normality.

I liked the Daebak Reality setting, and maybe because of the unkempt exteriors or Ji A's room, filled with religious folklore memorabilia, but it reminded me of New Orleans...oh, well, I had that feeling.

The main story flows perfectly with the ones of the various unrested spirit encountered and they are all beautiful, however sad and sometimes cruel.

I always like the relationship developed between Ji A and In-Bum and how they overcame all the obstacles along the way. I think it was a smart choice and in line with the plot that SPOILER they didn't get involved romantically.

Rating: 4½/5
