Aram's best friend spread fake rumors about her as she is envious of Aram's fame and how her attention is at her fans instead of her. Spreading it in the hope that Aram will stop being an idol and be her best friend again. It went as well as expected.

Poor Communication Kills
 Ghost Teller (Webcomic) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: A few instances. In "The True Story Of That Girl", had Sujin actually talked with Aram, she wouldn't have been driven with envy and started a rumor of cyber-bullying her. In "The Story of Brothers", had Mingyu and Minseo actually talked things out, Mingyu wouldn't have taken his steam stunts to great extremes to the point of death.

Green-Eyed Monster: A few incidents that led to the character in the limelight dying is because of this. Examples include: Misun's brother in law had liked her for a long time though he gave up after she chose his brother, Sangmin. But seeing her getting along with the boy who was the son of the person he and his brother fought for made him envious to the point of killing her. Aram's best friend spread fake rumors about her as she is envious of Aram's fame and how her attention is at her fans instead of her. Spreading it in the hope that Aram will stop being an idol and be her best friend again. It went as well as expected.

Bittersweet Ending
 Ghost Teller (Webcomic) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: "The Story Of That Place". Which doubles as an Ambiguous Ending. The orphanage is closed down and Father Kim's lies are exposed. But it comes at the price of Sister Maria's death along with the children before her arrival. That, and it's implied that Youngshin maybe doing the same thing as Father Kim had, but this time, it's in a twisted idea of paying back the deceased Sister Maria for her kindness. "The Story of Brothers" ends with the youngest little brother cured and they lived without too much financial troubles thanks to all the money Mingyu gathered... But Minseo is aware that none of these would be made possible without Mingyu's sacrifice and his death will haunt Minseo for years to come.

comment
Humans Are the Real Monsters: A titular theme of this webtoon is that humans are far more terrifying and evil than the ghosts are. One of the ghosts even lampshades this by stating that she doesn't want to be cruel to the living because "it feels too human."

comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Season 2 opens with a girl heavily implied to be Sujin, Aram's best friend, jumping from the roof and committing suicide. The same way Aram died. Season 2 has "Story from Afar" where the epilogue reveals that Runia eventually fell out of fame and can no longer piggy back her career and fame through the incident that drew attention to her in the first place. Another from Season 2 in "Story of a Family" has the father who had Dayun and Hayun's identities swapped eventually died in a car accident in the epilogue and Dayun is left with no one to take care of her and the house is eventually abandoned.

There Are No Therapists: Averted for "The Story Of The Woman", they do exist, but the woman refused to take treatment for her mental problems. Played straight in "The story of a child" as the mother in the story suffered from post-partum depression after giving birth to her son and when said son eventually died, she suffered from delusions that made her believe that the puppy she adopted to cope is her son while the child she "adopted" is a dog and no one was there to help her out of it.

Karma Houdini: The titular villains in four of the stories in the first season get away with all the crimes they did. Particularly, the titular photographer in "The Story Of The Photographer", the brother in law in "The Story Of Their Love", the corrupt higher up in "A Son's Story" and the best friend and people who joined the cyber bullying of Aram in "The True Story Of The Girl" (Though season 2 reveals that the best friend eventually committed suicide out of crippling guilt).
