One of the best if not the best horror kdrama
It's been 5 years since I watched The Guest, yet I still remember every detail and I'm writing a review -I'm the kinda person who forgets the kdrama by next week-... But this one was something else....The acting, the NON contradictory plot and imo no plotholes...
the actores were superb esp the possessed people, and our trio 🥰, the little possessed kid was amazing...
The ending was logical and real, minus points for the movie that we were gon get to address remaining issue... but overall so good

A GREAT SERIES AND WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU WANTING FOR MORE
I accidentally stumbled upon this series while I look for Korean series on Netflix and I am so glad that I gave it a shot as I am always into horror/possession/exorcism genres.I really appreciate how they did not try to insert a love story plot in this story. Every episode always kept me on edge and it also makes me think on how things will unfold. The casts has an unbelievable great chemistry.
After watching this series, I can't get the name Park Il-Do out of my head. I hope that there will be more Korean series of this genre in the future

You will encounter a lot of gore and unpleasant scenes. If you are sensitive to people stabbing themselves, eating their own limbs, hanging themselves or other goreful activities, DON'T watch this.
There is no romance. The main characters will slowly get closer but it's all in a nightmare like fight to avenge their families and each other.
This is not a light watch. It is bingable but it's not something you'd watch to feel happy. The story is very dark, sad and deep and plays a lot on the negative elements and emotions of people.
The acting was great and the story was interesting. Although one or two episodes felt a bit draggy, every single episode was an important part of the unraveling of the mystery. I love how they never once left the main road, instead we watched things happen on the road side and each happening was a sign, telling us where to turn next.
BUT NO DRAMA IS PERFECT.
The ending was not to my liking. To be honest, I had worked out, what I thought was a great theory, but in the end I was wrong and I'm okay with that as long as you give me something better. Instead, I felt like the writers randomly added an extra plot twist, just because, and then filmed a few extra scenes to back up their new change of course. I would have forgiven them for that if they had not ruined the potential of a brilliant ending in the next set of scenes! This is the only part of the story where the writers broke their own rules and the laws of nature just to have a happy ending which is why this drama is not a 10.
ENJOY!!!

GREAT WATCH FROM A HORROR LOVER
What a great piece! The chemistry of the cast, the story, the acting, especially the script! I love all of it! As a horror/thriller lover I've had a hard time searching for good dramas with this kind of concepts and I'm so thankful that I didn't hesitate watching this as soon as I've found it! It's freaking great! Also with the casts acting and hard work especially at the last battle scene I probably won't be able to move on from this for a couple of months!one of the best drama I've watch from 2018!

The poignant scene where the 3 protagonists come together at the scene of the crime is well staged and played out. Also, The scene where the female cop cried when she related the cause of her mum’s death to her colleague really caught me...a sort of a bittersweet closure.
Onwards to the rest of the series!
P.s does anyone know where this show is filmed? I love the psychic’s grandpa’s house

APENAS VEJA
fui assistir sem saber nada sobre a história, apenas seguindo as avaliações e ainda assim, com zero expectativas.não curti muito o 1⁰ ep por ser bem diferente dos doramas que já vi antes, mas resolvi dá uma chance porque queria saber como funcionaria o enredo e FOI A MELHOR ESCOLHA QUE JÁ FIZ!
personagens bem construídos, explorados e desenvolvidos, uma história que, apesar de ter o mesmo tema que outras séries sobrenaturais, ainda assim tem a sua pegada original e um plot fascinante!

Posesiones y exorcismos coreanos para todos.
'The Guest' entra directamente en mi podio de kdramas favoritos. Aguanta el paso de los episodios como un titán manteniendo el nivel en todos ellos gracias a distintas posesiones y situaciones. Todo ello envuelto en un constante halo de misterio respecto a la trama y de suspense en cuanto al tratamiento que te mantiene en velo durante todo su metraje. La evolución de los personajes es muy buena pasando del rechazo a la amistad forjada por combatir lo inexplicable y conectando sus distintos destinos de forma muy correcta. Otra virtud a destacar es lo imprevisible que resulta en más de un momento, tanto por el juego psicológico en esta especie de escondite constante, como por las decisiones de guion que se alejan de lugares comunes para abrazar lo nefasto cuando corresponde. En definitiva, un drama magnífico que hay que reivindicar para los amantes del terror y del suspense porque no se conoce tanto como debería.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

One of the best dramas
In my opinion this is one of the best crime and paranormal dramas.The drama is quite scary, especial the first episode, when they show what happened in the past.
As it progresses the drama also becomes quite emotional, and here the OST plays a big role. Somewhere is a very emotional song and it is played during the most important scenes.
The actors did their job very well. The most I liked Choi Yoon aka Father Mateo. I think Jae Wook did a great job in his character portrayal. Father Mateo impressed me the most because he was deeply hurt by what happened to his family, yet he was calm and considerate. It was touching how he protected Mi Jin's son from seeing his dead mother in episode 7, also how he took care of Seo Yoon. How he tried to protect her when the door opened and she got possessed, also how she treated her after, during her exorcism and after she was exorcised. Was impressive how she was sleeping on him when they were taking her home and how he was holding her hand. Felt like he took a special care of her. I think they have potential as a duo for a second season in which she chases spirits and he exorcises them. Also in last episode he was ready to die to save Hwa Pyeong when they were both in water. I think he also softened Gil-Young, by helping her understand that Hwa Pyeong also has his wounds. Hwa Pyeong was more reckless, but he was also ready to sacrifice himself to save Mateo. This was also impressive. However I think Father Mateo is one of the best characters i saw in a drama.

The story of three people affected by a cursed, demonic spirit. I know it's just two episodes so far but I'll alter my review accordingly. Just thought someone should say it, that I'm a huge Jaewook fan so him being in something is enough but this show has the same darkness of Voice and Save Me, my favorite kind of show. It's pure horror though, and so poignant and thoughtful.
The first two episodes dealt with some past background and current time victims of the same demon.
