Just enough to stay oriented, episode by episode.

EP 01

The Realtor Who Sees Ghosts

Apr 14, 2021

Hong Ji-ah runs Daebak Realty on a model no rival would touch: she buys buildings the market has abandoned because someone died badly inside, clears whatever stayed behind, and flips them. The premiere lays the hook out plainly — a haunted officetel, a death the living want forgotten, a heroine who files the supernatural under overhead. Con man Oh In-bum crashing her ritual sets up the partnership the show spends sixteen weeks earning.

EP 02

Father and Son

Apr 15, 2021

A haunted art museum case establishes the show’s real method: the ghost is never the point, the unfinished business is. Ji-ah reads a spirit the way an inspector reads water damage, tracing it back to the moment a life went wrong. In-bum, still working an angle, starts to notice that her nonsense keeps producing results his tricks never could — and that the reveal at the end of each case tends to hurt.

EP 03

Team Daebak

Apr 21, 2021

In-bum formally joins Daebak Realty, and the show settles into the odd-couple rhythm it runs on: her precision, his patter, hacker Chief Heo feeding them both intel. An artist’s haunting gives the episode its case, but the load-bearing scene is the two of them arguing over whether what he can do counts as a gift or a symptom. The answer will take the season.

EP 04

Side Effects

Apr 22, 2021

The mechanics of In-bum’s ability get their first real cost. Touching a spirit means taking a piece of its death into his own body, and the episode lets us watch what that does to a person who spent years pretending. A case resolves cleanly enough, but the closing beat is Ji-ah realizing her new partner is not a fraud so much as a man who has been running from the same thing she is.

EP 05

Mother and Daughter

Apr 28, 2021

A haunting rooted in a mother’s death lands close to home, and the show uses the week’s client to pry at Ji-ah’s own twenty-year-old wound. The case is one of the series’ most affecting — a small grief handled with real care — and it works partly because Ji-ah is visibly bad at watching someone else go through what she never finished. Her mother’s memory stops being backstory here and becomes the plot.

EP 06

The Faceless Boy

Apr 29, 2021

A child’s spirit walled up in a basement pushes the show toward genuine horror before pulling back to grief, which is its usual move. The reveal — what was done to the boy, and by whom — is bleak, and the episode trusts the audience to sit with it. It also drops the first hard hint that the cases are not as random as they look, and that something older is steering Ji-ah toward specific buildings.

EP 07

A Sweet Tooth

May 5, 2021

A gentler case — a spirit hanging around for something as small as a favourite snack — gives the show room to be funny again before the back half turns grim. The comedy and the melancholy sit in the same scene without fighting, which is the tonal trick the series does best. Between cases, In-bum keeps circling questions about his own family that nobody wants to answer.

EP 08

The Child in the Wall

May 6, 2021

The Eun-byeol case ties a weekly haunting directly into the larger mystery, and the seams between procedural and serial start to dissolve. In-bum learns things about his late uncle, Oh Seong-sik, that reframe his whole childhood — including the grandmother who raised him on the idea that he was to blame for three deaths. The show is done pretending the two threads were ever separate.

EP 09

Murder in the Parking Lot

May 12, 2021

A present-day killing brings the police into the frame and forces Daebak Realty to work a case with a living perpetrator instead of a dead one. The shift gives the season stakes it can’t exorcise away. It also puts Ji-ah and In-bum on the radar of people who don’t believe in ghosts and don’t need to in order to be dangerous.

EP 10

Luring a Murderer

May 13, 2021

The team sets a trap for the killer, and the episode leans into the caper energy the show has mostly kept in reserve. A spirit’s testimony can’t be entered into evidence, so the win has to be engineered around that limitation — a nice constraint the writers use well. The victory is real but small, and the season makes clear the bigger name is still untouched.

EP 11

Ji-ah Forfeits Daebak

May 19, 2021

Ji-ah gives up the company to chase the one case that matters, and the show trades its weekly structure for a single target: construction chairman Do Hak-seong. The pivot costs the series some of its momentum — Do Hak-seong is a thinner figure than the hauntings were — but it clarifies the stakes. This was always going to end with Ji-ah and the man connected to her mother’s death in the same room.

EP 12

The Egg Ghost

May 20, 2021

The series’ highest-rated hour finally says it out loud: twenty years ago Hong Mi-jin was called to exorcise an ‘egg ghost,’ a spirit that can only be removed by killing its host, and the host was a child. She planned to do it and turn herself in; instead the ritual killed her. In-bum, piecing his uncle’s memories together, closes on the same night from the other side.

EP 13

Quitting the Business

May 26, 2021

Ji-ah steps back from exorcism entirely, worn down by what the last case revealed and by how close it sits to her. A quieter episode about a returning son and an aging mother gives the theme a gentler restatement — people come home too late, and the drama keeps forgiving them for it. In-bum, meanwhile, stops waiting for Do Hak-seong to make a mistake.

EP 14

The Jackpot

Jun 2, 2021

In-bum goes on the offensive against Do Hak-seong, and the show remembers it can be a thriller when it wants to. The plan runs on money, leverage, and the chairman’s own greed turned into a handle to pull. It also puts In-bum in real danger for the first time — the season’s way of raising the price on the finale, and of making sure the last confrontation costs one of the leads something too.

EP 15

The Egg Ghost Returns

Jun 3, 2021

The spirit that killed Ji-ah’s mother is loose again, larger and hungrier, and Do Hak-seong turns from target to hunter. The penultimate hour is the series at its most straightforwardly scary, with Ji-ah forced to confront the exact scenario that broke her family. Everything is now pointed at one ritual she does not want to perform.

EP 16

A Glorious Injury

Jun 9, 2021

Do Hak-seong dies small — cornered, clutching cash, falling — and his spirit forces one last exorcism through In-bum’s body. Ji-ah and In-bum seal the egg ghost together, and the cost is her sight: she loses the ability to see ghosts in the same act that frees her mother. The finale spends its final minutes on the goodbye the whole show was built toward, and it earns it.

Everything the finale means, spoilers and all.

What actually happened twenty years ago The secret at the center of the series is that Hong Mi-jin died trying to exorcise an ‘egg ghost’ — a spirit that can only be removed by killing its host — and the host that night was a small boy: Oh In-bum. Mi-jin intended to kill the child and then turn herself in; the ritual took her instead, and young Ji-ah was left holding the blame. In the present, Ji-ah and In-bum finish what she started and seal the egg ghost that Do Hak-seong’s greed helped create.

How Do Hak-seong goes out The chairman does not get a grand villain’s death. Cornered and clutching a bag of money, he panics, runs, and falls — a petty exit for a petty man. His unresolved spirit lunges into In-bum’s body, forcing the last exorcism of the series, and In-bum survives it only because Ji-ah is there to pull him back.

The price Ji-ah pays Sealing a spirit that large costs the medium something, and the toll here is Ji-ah’s sight. She loses the ability to see ghosts — the thing that defined her, isolated her, and kept her tied to her mother — in the same act that finally frees Hong Mi-jin. The gift and the grief leave together.

The farewell The show has spent sixteen episodes on spirits stuck by a single unfinished feeling, and its last one is Ji-ah’s own. With In-bum guiding her hand, she writes her mother’s name a final time and lets her go — not because the loss stopped hurting, but because she has reached the point where she can carry it. The leads stay a fierce platonic partnership; the finale keeps them working side by side at Daebak Realty rather than pairing them off.

The KDW read Sell Your Haunted House is a small-scale genre show that knew exactly what it was: a case-a-week comfort watch with a lump in its throat. The revenge plot is its weakest thread and the effects are modest, but the central relationship never needed romance to hold, and the ending trades spectacle for a quiet, well-earned goodbye.
