   Everyone's been watching this! The female lead is amazing. Although there's a supposedly strong couple, after watching it, I feel the woman is slightly better than the man. The romance is minimal. A must-watch for fans of supernatural, ghost-hunting, and strong female leads—it's incredibly satisfying! The female lead is the kind of character who's practically blessed by the heavens.
