Vende tu casa embrujada (2021)

Buen cast.

Este drama lo empecé y lo deje en la primera mitad porque me pareció aburrido además de que competía con otros mucho mejores pero lo volví a retomar porque soy un fan de jang na ra así que me decidí por terminarlo antes de juzgarlo pero si en la primera mitad se aburren no les recomiendo retomarlo porque se pone todavía aun mas aburrido. Primero que nada la premisa del drama es una historia de exorcistas y en los primeros capítulos (1-4) parece atrapante por la producción y las visuales de los fantasmas como de los efectos en ellos al ser poseídos o también cuando ven los restos por donde transitaban los fantasmas me pareció que esta muy logrado y estoy más que satisfecho porque es uno de los puntos fuertes del drama pero poco a poco la historia empieza a tornarse de forma muy obvia y capitulo a capitulo empieza a perder esa esencia de terror, entiendo que se esta desarrollando el pasado de los personajes pero creo que podría haberse tomado desde un punto de vista mas interesante para contarlo.
en cuanto a la actuación, este a mi parecer es el punto más fuerte de todos y el porque termine este drama. tanto jang na ra como jung yong hwa y también kang hong suk lo dieron todo, sus personajes estan tan bien actuados que se pueden sentir verdaderamente los sentimientos que quieren transmitir.
En cuanto a música creo que junto a la historia forman los puntos mas débiles del drama

More Horror, Less Comedy, Good Lessons

Daebak Real Estate is the kind of rare Horror Kdrama which has more horror side to it unlike many other horror comedy Kdramas where even the ghosts are part of the comedy and the scenes are clearly over-edited. Some horror scenes in this were really scary. In fact, every horror scene felt intense.

About half of the story is about the basic steady plot that's going on smoothly & slowly, gradually involving more characters, one by one along with many connecting plots which are more or less related to the central story.

The story involves 4 major characters: Hong Ji Ah (Jang Na Ra), a skilled and stupendous exorcist, continuing her family business of exorcism through a real estate agency, Daebak Realty. Oh In Bum (Jung Yong Hwa), a conman disguised as exorcist who later turns into a psychic to help Hong Ji Ah. Together they discover the past about their families, that they had forgotten in the course a tragic incident. Joo Hwa Jung (Kang Mal Gum), the real estate agent at Daebak Realty. Heo Ji Chul (Kang Hong Suk), Oh In Bum's partner-in-conning who also joins Daebak Realty as a Chief.

The storyline is a good one and the direction is well-organised. One or two episodes felt a bit slow as they were just busy investing stuffs but manageable. Have some tissue paper by your side as at many instances, it will be too overwhelming because there are lots of crying scenes. Also, watch it with a minor TW because there are some triggering scenes which are obvious for a horror drama. Every character did their acting well, especially Jang Na Ra again proved her skills.

Romance part of the leads in the drama is almost zero yet some conversations seemed like flirting but who is complaining about that? Not me! Hong Ji Ah's character is cold yet very very strong but she's soft from inside too. She'll make you cry more than anything else. I can't just see NaRa noona crying. Also, my Yong crying few times made it worse for me TT.

Another thing to point out is cinematography. In most of the cases, the horror dramas hugely rely on VFX and editing even for the horror scenes to look scary but in this drama, they used cinematography to keep the atmosphere simple and look natural and at the same time give off the horror vibes.

OSTs of this drama aee good too yet it felt under-utilized a bit but I think that's fine because their intention was to keep it intense. The bg themes are thrilling and melancholic I must say. And Jung Yong Hwa's OST is definitely a catchy one.

Note: If you're expecting anything very extraordinary, you've come to the wrong place; but it's not bad at all. It's worth giving a watch because the story is definitely a good one :)
