TV Review: Sell Your Haunted House (2021) (Horror-Drama)

Sell Your Haunted House (대박부동산)
2021
16 episodes
MA15+
Jang Na-ra, Jung Yong-hwa
Horror-Drama
Netflix

A real estate agent who rids haunted buildings of vengeful ghosts partners with a con man to solve a 20-year-old case that is close to her heart. (Synopsis)

Sell Your Haunted House was a brilliant, fun drama. Although billed as horror due to the subject matter, it's really more emotional drama than scary or gruesome horror story. I enjoyed the interactions between the two leads, which had a slight romantic edge but never developed into a full-blown romance that eclipsed the rest of the plot (probably because of the caveats surrounding Oh In-beom's ability to work as a psychic). One main storyline ran from start to finish, supplemented by shorter ghost-of-the-week segments, and this worked well for maintaining interest throughout. If you enjoy paranormal dramas, this one is definitely worth watching. It gets 4.5 stars from me.
