We lost the plot

This was supposed to be a spooky show, but the show sacrificed scary elements to pursue a romance route, and it failed the show.

The show started off really strong and had a simple formula: every episode there's a haunted house and a sale to be made. This only lasted for about 4 episodes and when it was done the mystery was well thought out, but slowly it grew stale. The haunted house slowly became based on misunderstandings and there were not many haunted houses or other ghost themes.

The romance of the female lead is, in my opinion, responsible for this change. The female lead had an unnecessary love plot with the second male lead (where she's a mistress). The show focused more time on her relationship and did not leave time for any actually spooky plots within episodes. The show only returns to its spooky theme when the female lead leaves the second male lead.

The romance elements also did not make sense. The female lead had no characteristics other than she was smart and hardworking. It is hard for me to believe a smart woman like the female lead when falls for a guy in a relationship and believes his lies about breaking up with his girlfriend. The female lead was actually disappointed in this show. Other than her poor relationship choices, she wasn't very likable. She had no personality and she treated the characters around her poorly, especially her mother and she spoke harshly to the male lead until the last few episodes.

I think this show would be so much better if this show did not have romance at all, this show did not balance romance and being a ghost show well at all. And I think it would be best if this show had half as many episodes.

What I really liked was the ghost elements, it is too bad there were not too many of them. The first few and last few episodes were great and intriguing, but the middle bit lost the plot and made me want to drop the show a bit.
