A keep you on the edge of your seat psychological thriller.

The drama's premise itself is very interesting. Immediately hooks the viewer and you invest in the not so likeable, suspicious main character because he is the only one you can really root for.
The cast is incredible, a wide range of actors who all manage to get under your skin with their performances.
The soundtrack is engaging. The cinematography keeps you on the edge the entire time. Its an anxious, get your blood pumping kind of watch.
Overall its deeply unsettling and and delivers on the horror aspect without any cliche tropes.

This is very well written. Every time you think you have something figured out it throws you for a loop but not in a "whhooooaah plot twist" way but in a "oh! I should have seen that coming because they hinted at it ealier! Thats so smart!" kind of way. The characters are interesting and the actors do a great job, especially the main villain . This show really does the unreliable narrator trope justice by having you root for the maim lead all through it, only to leave you wondering if it is a good thing he survived at all.

Gruesome

From start to finish, the show was incredibly well pieced together. The main setting at them goshiwon really captured the creepy feeling of someone watching you at every moment. From Lee Dongwook creepily staring through a small hole in the wall to the camera panning over / through walls, you felt like another person peeping into hell. At certain points you pitied the characters, regardless of their "morals" (which it seemed every character was twisted). Some parts of the show are confusing leaving me with unanswered questions, but doesn't that just add to the suspense? The last episode is a long and bumpy ride leaving me wide-eyed and honestly begging for a season 2!

Overall, it's a binge-worthy show that will leave you feeling all sorts of different emotions. Dramas like this are a big harder to come by specifically because of how swift-paced the show is. No long and boring introduction to the plot, no gaps between conflict, and nothing unnecessary to the plot. Even the soundtrack was very good!

Acabei de ver um dos melhores dramas que vi até hoje. Me deixou completamente sem fôlego, me prendeu do começo ao fim, simplesmente perfeito em tudo. É incrível, magnífico!
A atuação então, foi o que mais contribuiu, foi quase real de tão perfeito. Me fez sentir arrepios, todas as sensações que transmite é UAU!!!
Lee Dong Wook como meu ator favorito, me deixando cada vez mais surpresa com o quão bem ele faz qualquer trabalho, o personagem foi magnífico. Assustador do início ao fim, mas no fim eu acabei ainda mais apaixonada por ele.
Me sinto desnorteada, com saudades, porque foi intenso demais, simplesmente uma obra de arte que ficará marcada pra sempre em mim.
Particularmente eu amo muito as produções da OCN, e esse drama foi surpreendente, foi perfeito e sem nenhum furo. Cumpre o que promete e ainda supera as expectativas!

Necesitaba más capítulos.

"Extraños del infierno" cuenta la historia de un escritor de novelas policiales que se muda a un edificio muy desagradable en Seúl, lugar en el que le toca convivir con vecinos muuuy extraños. Él, que no tiene el dinero para irse a vivir a un lugar mejor, comienza poco a poco a descubrir los secretos que esconden estas personas tan peculiares.

Voy a empezar por las cosas que sí me gustaron:

1) ¡La ambientación está buenísima! Los distintos escenarios en los que transcurre la historia acompañan muy, muy bien la esencia de la misma.
2) Los actores trabajan increíblemente bien. Lee Dong Wook es fantástico, Pak Jong Hwan se roba todas las escenas en las que está y Lee Joong Ok no podría ponerme más nerviosa ni aunque quisiera.
3) Es súper oscura y entretenida desde el principio, no me aburrió en ningún momento.
4) El final me dejó bastante conforme, me gustó que dejaran algunas cosas a la interpretación (aunque sé que no todos piensan así y por eso me pareció buena idea mencionarlo).

Ahora bien, no todo me encantó, hubo varias cositas que para mí no terminaron de funcionar bien, sobre todo en lo que respecta a la cantidad de capítulos y el manejo de la información. La serie solo tiene 10 episodios y en este caso los 16 hubieran venido como anillo al dedo, ya que siento que los personajes (sobre todo los vecinos) terminan quedando medio "planos". Me hubiera gustado saber más sobre ellos, que tuvieran un contexto más definido.

Otro punto "negativo" que se me ocurre es que en ningún momento logró ponerme tensa de verdad y puede que esto fuera justamente por la falta de información que mencioné anteriormente (el hecho de que "Save Me" sea del mismo guionista y tenga un estilo muuuy similar le juega en contra, ya que esa serie es experta en ponerte de los nervios, y eso que en ningún momento se va para el lado del "terror").

En fin, un dorama interesante que podría haber sido muchísimo mejor de haber tenido más capítulos y villanos más "profundos".
Eso sí, a pesar de lo negativo, la recomiendo mucho.

Not that amazing.

I am torn, the story begins as the synopsis indicates and that a young man - Yoon Jong‑woo - will live in a residence where his neighbors are more than suspicious.

The problem is that there are only 10 episodes, and they could have made more use of them.
We practically have to wait for episode 3 to have a first interaction between our two protagonists, and it is neither memorable nor long. The build-up is slow, not much happens except the fact that we know from episode 1 what kind of people are his neighbors, it's a shame that it's not a surprise or a revelation for later, it would have been nice for the audience to wonder who is who.
So basically, until episode 7, the plot is slow - which is not a problem in other series - but here the interactions between our two characters are rare, there are no surprises and major revelations. Seems more like it's the build-up to why Yoon Jong‑woo freaks out and gets violent.
I agree with a review that says the show is all about insanity. The story isn't that amazing and it's really focused on our main protagonist going from normal young man to giving a free ride to his violence, the series has build-up only that.
I would have liked more, more between our characters who have a certain chemistry, that we understand more the motives of these characters since they are not mysterious.
All we have are two twins who giggle and are murderous, an equally murderous perv, the manager who seems just as crazy, and Seo Moon‑jo the creepy dentist. It feels more like these characters are here for the grand finale and when people will inevitably have to die.

I would say otherwise that the atmosphere and the tones of the series are well created, it's more or less scary, dark and horrifying. The overall production is good - but there are plot holes - and the actors, all without exception, fit into their roles perfectly, but none of the characters marked me personally.
Like I said already, the two protagonists interact very little, and suddenly Seo Moon‑jo decides that Yoon Jong‑woo is very special to him, without there being a tangible relationship between the two, except Seo Moon‑jo being creepy since the beginning and stalking Yoon Jong‑woo.
It's really the relationship that pops up, out of the blue, which is why I wish I had more episodes or else had them interact earlier so it doesn't seem so sudden.

The very end - the last ten minutes - is really the exciting part of the show, that ending is open ended, our character is inevitably changed, and there's a last minute twist, which leaves us with a possibility for a season 2 - even if I doubt it - and the return of a character.

But it's a nice crime series overall, it's not the scariest of the lot, nor the best scripted, but it's nice for those who like the genre, not a lot of mysteries though, it's more into the impact of scenes that are made to be scary and made us feel for Yoon Jong‑woo, but hey without suspense, it's hard to keep an interest.
The characters play their roles well even if I would have hoped for more, even coming from our two protagonists whose performance is good but nothing more.

Amazing plot, great actors, awesome soundtracks and a rewatch value of 100%

So this is actually the first time i am writing a review but after watching this drama i just haad to write a review and praise this it. That being said, lets jump straight into the review. The plot of the drama was very well stocked, it started out pretty normally and slow so that you can get into the story step by step and then it adds to the intensity episode by episode. Every and i am saying every character was amazingly acted out by the wonderful actors/actresses and i want to praise one the most, which was the mentally disabled twins. That actor played his character so well i couldn't believe how he can keep up his role that well all the time. The scenery was greatly shot and i loved every moment of it. As soon as he entered the "Eden" Studio, that atmosphere of real creepiness instantly kicked in. The soundtracks backed up everything that was going on in the drama, they were just really filling that plot with creepiness. ONE THING and only this one thing that i missed in this drama was the background stories of every character living there, like i would have liked to know a bit more about them. I mean they tell how it got to that point and stuff but yeah more developed background stories would have been great. But maybe its more developed in the webtoon so yeah. All in all it's rewatchable and i will rewatch it for all the details i missed at the beginning of the drama when i didn't really know where it was going yet. So great work, hope to see more dramas like this!

Purtroppo non mantiene fino in fondo quello che promette all’inizio


Devo ammetterlo: i primi episodi mi hanno scioccato e irrimediabilmente catturato.
L’atmosfera cupa, pesante, claustrofobica, ossessiva e sporca incatena lo spettatore che non decida di scappare subito a game levate. Perché sì, la tentazione in principio c’è stata, quando ho temuto che mi si stesse guidando verso territori dove non avrei voluto andare. Ma, superato il momento, la storia si dipana ineluttabile e allo spettatore ignaro o preavvisato non resta che assistervi.
L’inferno è l’assenza del diavolo che ci aveva tentati, avrei detto io, probabilmente sbagliando. La tesi che propugna questa serie è che l’inferno siano gli altri, intesi come il nostro prossimo che ci rende la vita un inferno, o il cui sguardo ci costringe entro una gabbia in cui non avremmo mai creduto di voler e poter entrare. E rimanere. I riferimenti letterari, a partire dalle Metamorfosi di Kafka, si sprecano e diventano motivo e pretesto per il pesante sotto testo psicologico che, più delle scene sanguinolente, forma l’ossatura di questo drama.
Il giovane campagnolo Jong Woo viene a Seul, dove un vecchio compagno di scuola gli ha trovato un lavoretto alle sue dipendenze. La vita è molto più cara che a casa e il nostro troverà alloggio solo in un ostello semi fatiscente di periferia, abitato da una serie di inquietanti personaggi, la maggior parte dei quali pare afflitta da tare o turbe mentali. Date a un animale una tana in cui sentirsi al sicuro e non proverà stress. Ma quando quella casa, oltre a essere sporca all’inverosimile e priva di comodità, è teatro di circostanze via via sempre più inquietanti e minacciose, dove potrà il nostro protagonista distogliere la mente dai suoi problemi? E non sono pochi: a casa è rimasto un fratello malato con la madre, la sua ragazza è talmente impegnata col lavoro da non avere tempo per lui, e in più non riconosce il disagio che la nuova sistemazione gli procura, il suo nuovo capo lo disprezza e non glielo manda a dire, e anche chi dovrebbe insegnargli il lavoro fa di tutto per ostacolarlo. Vogliamo dire che la sua vita è un inferno? E siamo appena agli inizi, perché presto diverse persone cominceranno a sparire dalla sua vista, ma non dalla nostra, che verrà resa immediatamente edotta della fine che han fatto.
La storia si svolge per la maggior parte nell’edificio cadente di cui sopra, dove gli inquilini vengono identificati col numero della stanza, e questo ostello di nome Eden (!) è terribilmente buio, vecchio e lurido. Le stanze sono minuscole, lerce, senza aerazione e con pochissima luce, e gli spazi comuni non sono molto meglio. In questa atmosfera opprimente si intuisce un fetore di umanità non solo sporca, ma anche malata, un fermentare di malvagità e perversioni assortite che ammorba il nuovo inquilino e lo spettatore afferrandolo fermamente alla gola. E in questo inferno Jong Woo si dibatterà come un pesce nella rete, incapace di fuggire o far prendere sul serio gli allarmi che lancia sulle stranezze del luogo. Solo una poliziotta di basso grado gli crederà, ma dovrà fare i conti coi ranghi superiori che rifiutano di indagare su quelle che credono sciocchezze.
L’atmosfera è solo una parte di ciò che rende questo drama indimenticabile. La parte del leone la fanno sicuramente gli attori.
Im Si Wan è decisamente il migliore nell’interpretare il protagonista principale Jong Woo. La sua è forse la parte più complessa, perché descrive la sua progressiva discesa all’inferno sia esteriore che interiore. Lo vediamo cambiare letteralmente di minuto in minuto, man mano che la pazzia che lo circonda pare avvolgerlo e risucchiarlo, mentre il viso e gli occhi riflettono irritazione, paura, paranoia, furia, lucida follia.
Lee Dong Wook interpreta Moon Jo, un inquietante dentista che pare sin da subito attirato dal protagonista il quale, dietro le sue attenzioni, non tarderà a discendere in una spirale di demenza sempre più stretta. Siamo abituati a vedere questo talentuoso attore in parti da commedia romantica, ma possiamo tranquillamente dire che ha superato l’esame anche per i ruoli da malvagio.
Gli attori che interpretano gli abitanti dell’ostello sono bravissimi nelle loro parti che descrivono una dis-umanità particolarmente sgradevole. Menzione particolare per la padrona di casa, apparentemente un’ottima cuoca, ma di cui è sconsigliato provare i piatti. Poliziotti, colleghi, tutti hanno fatto un lavoro egregio, che ha contribuito molto alla riuscita del titolo, in questo aiutati anche dalle musiche, per la maggior parte non particolarmente gradevoli, perché terribilmente affini alle scene che commentano. Ci sono però quattro belle canzoni e alcuni pezzi con cori decisamente disturbanti.
E’ un bene che la performance degli attori sia così valida, perché purtroppo la storia presenta diverse pecche ineludibili, a partire dalla scarsa credibilità che le vicende siano fatte proseguire fino alle estreme conseguenze, con pochissima ingerenza da parte delle autorità. Si ha la netta impressione che nessuno intervenga solo per poter lasciare agire indisturbati gli assassini, ci sono diverse circostanze non spiegate, ma questo sarebbe anche tollerabile se la storia procedesse con piglio deciso dal principio alla fine. Invece, come spesso accade, i tempi si dilatano a dismisura, le situazioni diventano ripetitive e ridondanti. Vero che i tempi lunghi contribuiscono a giustificare la discesa agli inferi del protagonista, ma comunque alcune puntate in meno – almeno due, o anche tre – sarebbero andate a beneficio della fruibilità. L’atmosfera e gli accadimenti sono già cupi e opprimenti, se ci si aggiunge lentezza sopraggiunge la noia. Sì, ci sono state alcune puntate di noia per saturazione che a un certo punto mi han fatto quasi lasciare la visione, ma fortunatamente ho perseverato e sono giunta fino alla fine, e ben contenta di averlo fatto.
E’ un drama con diverse pecche, come detto, ma un drama che lascia il segno. Riesce a farti sentire sporco dentro perché sposa la tesi che il diavolo sia già dentro di noi e che basti relativamente poco a farlo affiorare. E agire.
In chiusura, un amichevole avvertimento: se avete lo stomaco delicato, non guardatelo mangiando o dopo aver mangiato. Mi ringrazierete.

Mind-blowing and Fantastic

Strangers from Hell was unlike anything I had seen before. Im Siwan's rent must have been due because he bodied JongU. The acting, especially Siwan's was impeccable. Lee Dongwook is my favorite acter and watching this after seeing him as Lee Yeon in Tale of the Nine-Tailed was crazy. The twists and turns in Strangers from Hell we're just twisty and turny enough to make it mind-blowing but not completely unbelievable. Strangers from Hell had one of the craziest endings in anything I'd ever seen. When I finished it for the first time, I was completely shocked by it. Watching JongU's sanity deteriorate was fascinating yet heartbreaking. Strangers from Hell is truly one of, not only Kdramas, but piece of media I've ever seen.

Why the ML Can’t See Red Flags

I am only partway through this drama but it’s dawned on me that part of the overall horror and a big part of what keeps the plot going is that Jong-woo, the ML, doesn’t have a healthy instinct for self-preservation. if he did he would have left Eden Boarding House in 5 minutes even though his rolling suitcase was broken.

It’s not that he’s stupid or oblivious or anything like that. We do see early on that he has a knack for making not-great choices. The big problem is that he’s just so accustomed to dealing with dysfunction, humiliation, and outright abuse in his day-to-day life and just brushing away all the ill feeling it gives him that he can no longer recognize when he’s in a dangerous situation and react appropriately.

Look at how he gets treated by the people in his workplace and elsewhere: he’s told he’s too sensitive, has his emotions invalidated, and even gets told to smile more! A lot of women are probably all too familiar with this kind of treatment. Jong-woo has internalized a lot of it too. He keeps telling himself to ignore really bizarre and awful things at the boarding house, insisting to himself that he’s being ridiculous, so by the time he realizes how bad the situation really is, it’s almost too late.

It’s this dynamic that makes the progression of the story so natural and adds to the subtle sense of horror/dread.
