I always enjoy this concept of the living helping ghosts move on as it gives tv shows mystery and thrill wrapped in drama. I really loved Hotel Del Luna so I had high hopes for this. Sadly I am disappointed. I'm annoyed at all the high ratings, which seem to not really breakdown what makes this series good. These ratings gave me false expectations to this series,
1) The make up and hair is so poorly done that it's comical, Why does all the ghosts look like they had a whip cream smooshed on their faces? Hard to remain spooked when people are just covered in white powder. Also, hair seems to be perfect all the time, even when in dialogue one character would say otherwise.
2) special effects was laughable, this kept pulling me out of the story and just chuckling at the poorly stitched composition. I may be a bit harsh, but Hotel Del Luna and Kingdom does this much better to create the scary atmosphere.
3) the script is not very cohesively written as it never established why the main female character is so loveable. As well, the relationship seems to happen very suddenly without much time spent developing it. The main female made me feel very awkward a lot of the time with her almost childish-shy-flirting smiles-this combo is not very pleasant.
4) Many over used cliched plot points just to try and wrap up stories.
Overall, I only really enjoyed the subplots of ghost stories, but there wasn't much surprises nor twists. Mediocre 6/10.
