Watched all six episodes of Taiwan's 2019 Green Door.

Wei Sung-yen is the owner and practitioner of Green Door Studio in Ximending, an office offering counseling services. He trained in the States and is having difficulty maintaining Taiwanese clients. One day what seems to be a ghost goes to Green Door Studio for help. Thus begins a series of counseling sessions. And, of course, other spirits soon follow.

The movie was of interest to me because this is exactly what the Spirit Questors do: counsel not only the living but the deceased. At first there isn't enough tension to keep the viewer riveted to the story, especially since it fluctuates between light comedy and melodrama, but everything picks up quickly in Episode 4.

I must mention, however, that the movie has an O. Henry twist in the last episode.
