Heavy psychologically, creepy and dark.
There is something uneasy that makes me put this note. I really liked the psychological approach to the drama. I personally understood what was happening with the character on the second part (episode 7 or 8 approximately) but ANYWAY. The environment, the settings, the music are the perfect combination that makes you feel bad. Add to that the play of all the actors and it works ! I wouldn't put a 10 because I think it's a series that needs to be seen in a good frame of mind. I'm not a sensitive person, but I released it ten minutes ago and I feel like I need to see something less dark, with butterflies and flowers ^^. despite everything its a must-watch (at least once !)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
So unpredictable, yet enjoyable
This drama really has got some plot to it. The watcher never knew what to expect, believe it or not, for me this drama was the best I've watched yet.When I started it, I was so sure, Jong Woo would just die and that'd be the end of the story, or he would kill Moon Jo before the police arrived. So as one would expect, I was quite confused, as to why, Moon Jo called him his masterpiece, when he'd managed to get himself killed.. why would he call him that, when he had basically "failed"...but after finding out how crazy Jong Woo actually was all along, I had alot more things to question, than just this part of the story in the drama.
We have seen a perspective of the story that really made this drama so good. One that showed Jong Woo as the good guy, that we never expected to be this mentally unstable.
This may have actually got me to buy and read the Book Metamorphosis. It now has piqued my interests. They both liked this book alot, and so I want to know what made it so special to them that it was mentioned more than once over the entire drama.
I can only recommend this drama to anyone who is into this psychological type of plot.
Lee Dong Wook can't keep his hands off of good dramas!!

SO FUCKING GOOD
this is probably one of the best korean series i have ever watched.the plot, acting, ost, and story was so good like it was just perfect. i definitely think that siwan did an excellent job with this series. all the actors fit perfectly and made the story much more interesting.
dongwook was also very good and portrayed his character very well. siwan made me laugh a lot. there’s a reason why there’s so many memes about this show now lolllll.
anyways this show is definitely rewatchable. it has everything from horror, comedy, mystery and.. romance (jkjk ?)

Bloody but brilliant
Bloody, dark and very grose but really well written and executed psycolagickal drama.The editing between bloody murder and takboki are beautifully done. As I'm more in to the story then the blood I had to forward the bloodsplatter.
The caracters are really well written, you will probably end upp hating everyone around him (with a few exceptions), and feel the erge to protect the protagonist from all the people around him or want to see them strangeld.
The psychological stuff kept me guessing and I foundmy self efforletlessly trying to make sence of what was going on thruout the series. The casting and acting where spot on. Lee Dong Wook is the ultimate psykopath, Siwan is soo sweet that you just want to hug him and the side caracters each have their role and do it well. "I only killed one cat".
I'm still not shure what actually happened, so I may have to digest this a bit longer. Yes this is completely insane so get ready for a ride.

Along with all the other roles.Crazy unexpected ending that lingers in your mind for a while! Definitely should add to your watch list.

Creepy AF, but Worth It
I watched the first episode and then proceeded to watch something else, it was boring, but. BUT. Give it a chance. Once you get to about half way through episode 2 or even episode 3, you will be hooked. It's a bit slow to begin with, but totally worth it.I was in the mood to watch something with psychopaths and murderers, this DID NOT disappoint. Half the time, I could not tell if it was reality or Jong-Woo's secret fantasies. I so badly wanted him to break free and become a true psycho.
Lastly, let me just say, I have never really thought that Lee Dong-Wook was my type, BUT I ain't never seen any other a man look so sexy while murdering people. *chefs kiss*

Well, that was wild to say the least...
If I remember correctly, back when this first aired, I started watching this drama, but I didn't, or should I say couldn't get through even the first episode. I'm not sure if another drama interested me more, or if this creeped me out too much because I'm a scaredy cat. Well whatever it is, here I was watching it, now finally finished it because a lot of people in my twitter timeline kept talking about the drama (or should I say, the characters Seo Moonjo and Yoon Jongwoo in particular?) And me being me, even though I was a scaredy cat, I'm also pretty curious. A pretty bad combination of personalities.And honestly, I don't think I have much to say about this. Not as in, this is boring, or this is bad. But as in, I just really don't know how or what to talk about this. I started off finding Jongwoo relatable. He seemed shy and timid. The way his surroundings stressed him out, from his creepy neighbors to his rude workmate. How his girlfriend and his senior treated him, alienated him, didn't bother listening him out. How his mind plays out what would have happened if he doesn't keep his cool and blew up all his feelings. You don't know how glad and happy I was when he had the new neighbor who got along with him, and his old friend from the military who listened to him and even went with him to help out (Though we all know how that ended...)
I finished it only a few minutes ago (or an hour?) as I'm writing this. And therefore, I'm still pretty much processing the ending. I didn't really know how to feel. I feel like I understand, but on the other hand, I feel like I don't understand it yet, as I don't know what to say about it. But.. I feel like if I had just continued watching this when it first aired, it would feel a lot more thrilling, a lot more stressful. I like marathoning series just fine, but watching series on going, as each episode airs every week, it always feels so much nicer, more thrilling, and probably would make me more interested, and more attached. So, that was probably the only little disappointing thing about this and it's not at all their fault that I watched this late. But at least I got to find out what this was about and that's enough.

Not unexpected at all; the ending was totally spelled out
1. Storya. Characters
I hate everyone. They all had such awful personalities or were completely stupid. The mc himself was completely stupid. If you're that creeped out of the residents, move out. idc how inexpensive that place is. Safety>>. Plus, the place was going to be redeveloped in 6 mos anyway so he was bound to move out and his pay just isn't enough.
On the otherhand, I hated his girlfriend too. Not once did she listen to him or even entertained his worries. I get it she's stressed too, but she said he should learn to defend himself so people wouldn't step on him, but she's the exact same—she always just let her boss bully her. Aside from that she can just rant about her life to him too? What is the effing point of being in a relationship when you cannot even rely on each other. L girlfriend. I hated her more than her boss and the MC's nerdy co-worker and boss.
Speaking of which, I was just waiting for them to die. Too bad it was just the ceo. Well at least the nerd got what was coming to him. I'm not an advocate for violence but don't bully people if you cannot handle the consequences.
b. Plot
As I said it made no sense for him to stay. If you feel that unsafe that it was making you crazy, leave. It wasn't like he absolutely did not have money. I'd so go back home if I can't stay at Seoul. There's no point in trying to make a living if I'm dead. It's just so stupid.
And I'm just not convinced by the scarriness of the antagonists nor their capacity to drive him to insanity. They weren't scary nor really good at their jobs really. They're sloppy. We're just told through the narrative or through camera work how scary they are. Like he killed them all so easily at the end even when they were so cocky.
2. Acting
It was solid. They were believeable except for their scarriness and all.
3. Overall
Expected ending and tbh boring. They could have expanded it more, could have shown us how deadly, capable, brutal and without empathy the antagonists really are but no.
I don't get whose minds were being blown at the ending. Unless you're a five year-old who has never seen a movie then it was pretty much spelled out that he would go insane and murder someone at least. He wasn't going to go out sane in any situation. Idc how that's rare in kdrama. There were literally no other options with how they set it up so no it was not u expected, not mindblowing and certainly not a masterpiece. They could have done more with the promise and could have actually made it terrifying and actually made the viewers question morality and sanity of humans.

Make me want to be a psychopath too
This story especially the ending really surprise me, in the beginning, i'm a little bored, but that's still make me want to watch the next episode. I have never thought that all scenes in the beginning that make me bored is closely related to the storyline. If you are pay attention to details, that's really creepy and make curious. We will be brought into the truth by flowing like water, the one is very scary is when My mentality is also drained like Jongwoo's role here, I get carried away and even affect the real world. Its cool. and i've never thought the ending. the one that makes me hurt so much is when "they're" will kill Seok Yun, It hurt my heart when he begging Jeongwoo please. you have to watch this, you won't regret it. the scene is certainly gruesome, but it's very cool. Once I once even supported the main leader, the handsome dentist. don't forget to watch its only 10 ep, I finished it only one dayVond je deze recentie nuttig?

Phenomenal
I went into this show with my expectations below ground and holy hell I was taken aback by this show in such an unexpectedly good way.The production, story, cast, acting, etc. blew me away. Right from the start of episode 1, the creep factor was so high and this show is a prime example of proving you don't need over-the-top gore, special effects, or jumpscares to make something scary. True to its meaning of "People are hell" !!!!
One thing I want to praise the most, despite being said already, is the actors of Jung Woo and Seo Moonjo. They took their role and OWNED IT. Lee Dongwook and Yim Si-Wan killed it (pun intended).
This is a good watch for anyone who wants to experience a psychological horror mindfuck that will keep you glued to the screen.
