MASTERPIECE!?!?
OMFG...Let me say this. I haven´ t watched that good series in a long time!Maybe im weird and i propably need a help but the series isn´t that traumatic as a lot people say it is BUT that doesn´t change the fact that the series is perfect.
The story is pretty good and interesting, especially at the end my small brain couldn ´t understand a thing lmao. I was so confused ( and i mean it in a good way ), that i had to read some explanations.
THE ACTING? SO AMAZING! It felt so real but if i´m being honest I wasn ´t that scared or anything, maybe because i know that it´s just series and they are just an actors ( but the one pervert with gllasses was really disgusting i must say ) .But on the other side I had to watch some behind the scenes to confirm the fact that they are all "just" an actors and not real psychopats lol
Music could be "scarier" but I didn ´t pay much attention to it ( as always )
I will definitelly rewatch it someday in the future. There is so many things i know i didn´t notice at first that i simply have to rewatch it :D
Overall MASTERPIECE
As I said before, it wasn´t that thrilling or traumatic as maybe for other people but that´s not problem of the series. It´s just the fact that propably nothing in this world can somehow surprise me anymore...but the atmosphere was really great so if you are not fu*ked up like me, you will propably NOT feel safe or/and comfortable while watching this series lol

Definitely worth it
I loved this show so much. There were a bunch of twists and its a lot more then your average horror show. I really liked it and the ending was perfect cause it left a lot that could maybe be turned into a season two but probably not. Overall the last two episodes were so great and the ending is just perfect. I really love lee dong wook in this as he fits the character so so well and that little bit of gayness thats sprinkled throughout the whole series just gives it a little bit of fun. Its a gory show but its definetly unmatched in the shows ive seen.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
This drama is one of the best I've ever watched. From acting to direction, everything is just brilliant. I know many have watched this drama for Lee Dong Wook and I am no exception(come on, he is so handsome!!!) but kuddos to the supporting cast for making it even more worth watching.
I was actually surprised with Im Siwan. He has improved a lot compared to his previous works. I hope he continues with this and achieves big.
The only thing that irritated me was Min Ji Eun(Jong Woo's girlfriend). She never really tried to understand Jong Woo. Was always busy with her life and never cared for her bf. Even went against him and thought of him as a crackhead. She was hands down the most annoying character for me(No offense to the actress though, she did a fantastic job).
Music was just amazing. Background scores were used perfectly with every situation.
Lastly i would like to say, if anyone is delaying this like I did due to some reasons, please just go and watch it. It's really worth the hype and you wont regret it.

Wow
What mastermind cooked this up??Wow. What can I say other than wow?
Such an amazing drama...it keeps you enticed and practically begging for more. It's weird but goddamn is it my kind of weird.
Honestly, it's probably one of the best dramas I've ever seen. It's so different and crazy and just incredibly outlandish.
You have no idea what's around that corner, you have no idea what's in that fridge, you have no idea what the next sentence- the next movement will bring.
Absolutely and undeniably certifiably insanely good. Watch this drama and revel in the absolute pure madness and "what the hell is going on here" moments.
Wow. Just wow.
If there was another season...sign me the hell up.

Portrays insanity perfectly
I legit have no words. This show is a game changer. Personally I didn't find it that scary but the ending, when the officer realised Jong-O killed everyone.. I had chills! You need to watch this! The acting is so spot on its like watching a documentary. The quotes in this film are so deep too! Like when Moonjo saw Jong-O go insane and said "You are the best piece of art I've ever created." BRO. Its kind of sad too because Jong-O was normal and happy at the start. The residence destroyed an innocent man, and the innocent man destroyed the residence. Highly highly recommend Lees verderVond je deze recentie nuttig?

It takes a watch
This one is a bit of a slow burn. The action drags along and then hits you full force. Character building of all main characters is key treating the watcher much like the police officer in finding the clues. The watcher can as well place themselves in the role of the main character able to sympathize with his situation in living in terrible circumstances as well as having other aspects of one's life worse for wear. Watching the main character's mental state deteriorate is both interesting and saddening given all he's endured and the ending was one I was not seeing. In terms of viewpoint from the antagonist, the camera work does well in occasionally showing his viewpoint and having the audience act as the stalker which is interesting. Not a drama that has a happy ending per se, more like bittersweet and one that gets you thinking over it for days.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
THANK YOU 'THE ROSE'
I descover this masterpiece from my boys 'The Rose' (kpop band ) who sung the ost for this series and i can say THANK YOU !!!◇I loved the plot, its has so many overturns, i didn't expected to take this way, it was a very good surprise for me, particularly the ending
◇The acting was superior, the way they played their roles was impressive
◇The ost was amazing
◇The only thing that i can count as disadvantage is about the scenes (l will try to explain it as good as it gets ): the way of transfer from one scene to other was not smooth.
Anyway, i really recommend to everyone who want to see a masterpiece psychological thiller!

ABSOLUTELY TOO GOOD!!
This is definitely my number 1 favorite K-drama!I have already watched this K-drama about 3 to 4 times and I can say that I absolutely LOVE it! It's the perfect horror/thriller drama you could ever watch. My favorite part is the cinematography which suits the drama so much and makes it thrilling and scary to watch. Also the acting, the characters, the plot, the soundtracks and the setting were all awesomely planned and done which of course makes watching the drama pleasing.
I got hooked to the drama from the very first episode. There were not a single episode that was boring which I really like because I don't like dramas that are boring to watch at all. I would had wanted the drama to be a little bit longer though because it had only 10 episodes which is pretty short for a K-drama when they usually have 16 episodes.
I recommend this drama to people that are interested in topics like murder, cannibalism, living in poverty, stalking and psychopaths. Trust me this is a masterpiece!

Awareness
This show is not your typical kdrama, the story is dark that it surprises you in every episode! I feel uneasy every episode that is why my Rewatch value is low. The OST really fits the scenes, every time the OST plays it gives you chills because it’s really good and Lee dong wook I must say, he’s really good. We got to see his other side as well since we always only see his romantic acting side. This drama also has a good message to always check upon your friends as some might be struggling quietly ?? And to always ask for help when needed.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Completely Mind Blowing!
**I watched and finished this back in 2019 and this review was taken from my blog, which has better formatting and images that go with the review. Please check it out: http://fearstreetzombiereviews.blogspot.com/2020/04/review.html **I'm coming out the gate here with a big 'ol: "HOLY SHIT!!!" If that offends you... I don't know what to tell you because this is a whole damn mood with this show! I wish I was kidding. Okay not really because this how was totally amazing and badass! Y'all, I have no idea how this show has been labeled as a flop! Whoever said that about this show is completely INSANE! There are only 10 episodes of this show and let me tell you, there wasn't a second of this show I was bored with. There wasn't a moment of "Oh I really need to go do this-this-or-this". Actually it was more of "If one more person interrupts me while I watch this, I might actually flip my lid." Pretty sure I looked like this by the ends of it all: O_O
Let's hope that's not what I really looked like though.. but let's face it, it probably was, because... what is sleep? Hahah And if you know me at all, you know this is the show I have been wanting to watch for MONTHS but could never get my hands on it, but I finally did and I DEVOURED it!! (Or did it devour me? ......?) And those that know me, know I hate mysteries/thrillers... of any kind. So for me to ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶LOVE something mystery/thriller, you know it HAS to be amazing, because I'm a purely horror kinda girl
Okay, back to the show, the acting was off the chart amazing. Y'all know me, there is always at least one person I tend to pick apart saying "Eh the acting could be better". That can't be said for this show! They ALL acted so well that I was constantly second guessing myself if I knew what the hell was going on or not. Even the most annoying character didn't get on my nerve as much as I thought he would because he was such a important character.
ougharwilughrwiuhgr UGHHH there is seriously so much I want to say but can't and that drives me nuts!!! hahah Because it was so freaking awesome!! I just want to go on and on about it. I mean EVEN THE SOUNDTRACK IS AMAZING!!! Please please if you get a chance, check out the soundtrack: H͇E͇R͇E͇. You won't regret it. The music fit the show so amazing. I admit there are a lot of movies and shows I have watched there i just roll my eyes and either say either some don't fit the show/movie, or I get mad because they add like 20 songs to the soundtrack that weren't even in the movie.
Every song here was in the show (least to my memory they were) and they all fit.
Everything about this show was such a freaking masterpiece that I'm like... WHY ISN'T THIS EVERYWHERE BY NOW?!!?! WHY IS THIS NOT TALKED ABOUT?!?!
The hype on this show is so low, it makes me want to cry.
This show is literally the KING of this genre! Fight meeeee if you think different! Lol Between the amazing actors and the setting, everything was complex and one of a kind yet... different. I'm not going to lie, shows and movies tend to have tons of "settings/locations/backgrounds" right? Kinda just... calls for it I guess? This show didn't have many setting locations, you can count them on your hands - Which brings me to this point, whoever set this up is a king. Because to be limited with places, they still knocked it out of the park while keeping ̶p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶Me mind blown. I see these things. I can't help but notice and roll my eyes if someone constantly reuses a same setting through 60% of a show. Everything that usually makes me roll my eyes or kinda annoys me, didn't when it came to this show. Which is crazy to me. Sorry, I just can't hype this enough.
DUDE!!! The ending. Oh my gah the ending had me totally mind-fucked. Because I knew without a doubt that I knew how it would end. Lets face it, whether it's a book or show, when you read or what enough, you tend to just know how it will end by the middle. rhgilrghirugie That ending left me questioning my sanity because I was like "Oh! It's going to end hella different" then I was like "wait... maybe not" then back and forth.... I got tired trying to guess. hahaha That ending left me so mind-blown that I just looked at the screen like O______O 15 minutes after it was over. It's been longer now and my brain is still like: ekfjbgveirybvieuabvileuarbveiuvbfduivhbfdubvfdhyvbeiulvuqeibv
and me even writing this, I'm having to just pick words out of all this scramble and HOPE it all makes sense. If you EVER have the chance to watch this, I am actually BEGGING you to watch this. You might think I'm kidding but I'm not. This show has currently taken over my life to the point I want to keep it on repeat for the next few weeks to months. Lol Don't judge me. I can't help that I love it this much.

I already could tell that strangers from hell was going to be good from the first episode but having just finished it all I can say is wow South Korea really is the master of the psychological and horror genre that other series just cant seem to compete .
Lee Dong Wook did one of the best jobs ive seen thus far taking on a psycho role but hat truly impressed me was the rest of the cast having not seen any of their work it was such a shock to see how real it was.
In all honesty I hate the crime and thriller dramas that center around politics and police coruption and what not so I was more than please to see that this had nothing to do with this and jjust focuse on the psychologocal factor.
The whole series was a masterpiece from start to finish but the ending was just the cherry on top really one of the best.
I guarntee that you will never look at strangers the same again after this watch.
