Fever Dream
This kdrama is veeerrryyy fight club inspired i'd say. I definitely was NOT expecting that plotwist in the end, but thats what makes it all the more interesting i guess. This is also one of those kdramas that leave you with an open ending where you can only guess what happens in the end. I really like how they made us experience sort of a surreal experience along with the main character- And although the fandom loves to joke around how he and his killer alter ego are in love, it honestly does make a lot of sense. Was them being okay with each other in the end, them confessing their love for each other? LOL Im just blabbering around but the characters had more chemistry than the main character and his girlfriend!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

In just a few hours I did finished the whole drama and It was worth. I have seen all the hype and famous this drama was and today I did give a chance and watched.
And was like... WHAT????? It's so good. (Sometimes I did root for the villain, sorry)
All the cast did a amazing job, even me while watching did a get a little bit scared ☠☠☠
I love they way they did put the OST, in the right moments. Like, when did have a "moment" and they did put the classical music. I loved.
Lee Dong Wook, he acting surprised me so much in a very good way. Never seen him in this type of role and I want to see more.
Jong Woo, I'm a little confused about what did happen in the final in your head my bud, but I starting to get the hole thing.
It's surprising, intriguing and GOOD. Very good. Truly recommend!

Review of "Strangers from Hell""Strangers from Hell" – I must say I was drawn in by the title and the themes it explores. It's a psychological thriller, which is what I love.
Usually.
Sadly, I'm coming back to you with a rating of 6.5/10. It's not a bad rating, but rather a mixed one.
So, why? While I appreciated the eerie atmosphere and the actors' performances, I found the episodes to be excruciatingly slow. It could just as well have been a two-and-a-half-hour movie or a short five-episode series...
That's if we keep the story as it is.
The storyline: Honestly, there are much better shows on the same theme, but we'll make do with this one. There are so many inconsistencies that I couldn't note them all...
Staying in an apartment where you know crazy people live?
Never leaving?
Sorry, but I'd rather sleep outside... He stays there so briefly that he could have just taken a week at a hotel instead...
His girlfriend, sorry but what was the point? She never listened, never made the slightest effort. And worse, at the beginning, we were led to believe they were far apart, but it turns out they weren't at all...
Our main character undergoes a complete personality change between episodes 8 and 9, with no middle ground.
It's a shame because there was potential.
Story: Okay but poorly executed.
Acting: Okay
Characters: Could be better.
Plot: Where is it? We know everything in the first few episodes.
The only question we ask is whether the dentist is still alive... and that will be the only question.

drama incrível!!
dorama incrível! um dos meus primeiros e o melhor até agora que eu já assisti, a história me pegou de um jeito incrível, eu terminava um ep e já queria assitir outro.Ansiedade a mil com os últimos episódios. A história é muito boa e muito bem desenvolvida durante o dorama, adorei o elenco e pretendo acompanha-los em outros projetos que eles irão fazer.
Realemnte virei fã, nada a reclamar sobre esse drama, tudo nele é simplesmente incrível, irei assitir novamente quando sentir saudades e vou recomendar a todos meus colegas.

L’enfer, c’est les autres…
Ce drama fait partie de ceux que j’ai essayé et laissé de côté. Puis, j’ai fini par y revenir & étonnamment, malgré l’atmosphère des plus glauques, j’ai voulu savoir la finalité.Quel est le sujet de cette histoire ? Les tueurs en série… & la folie. (C’est plus ou moins tout… Mais c’est tellement bien travaillé qu’on reste scotché devant notre écran…)
J’ai admiré la prestation de Lee Dong-Wook que je n’avais jamais vu dans ce type de registre ! Il m’a littéralement glacée ! (Je pense que si je l’avais rencontré en rue dans ce rôle, je ne serai pas restée longtemps dans les parages ^^’) Son personnage semble tellement détaché de tout, comme si rien n’avait d’importance… C’est sans doute, ce qui le rend si dangereux…
Im Si-Wan m’a également « régalée » (Si on veut hein, car lui aussi, il est flippant !) dans sa prestation, la montée de sa folie semblait tellement réelle…
Si je devais vous dire si j’ai aimé ou non cette histoire, je pense que je ne saurais que répondre car il ne s’agit pas d’un drama que je regarderai à nouveau mais il m’a apporté des sensations (Cette sensation horrible, insidieuse, telle un serpent qui se promène le long de la colonne vertébrale & fini par me glacer… ) que je n’avais pas encore ressenti avec d’autres histoires… Comme mentionné plus haut, l’histoire n’a pas de réelle prétention et ne parle que de meurtres & de la folie qui en résulte (enfin, en résulte-t-elle ou est-elle l’enclencheur de tout ça ? Aller savoir…) mais quelque part, c’est surtout un drama visant la psychologie de chacun des protagonistes/antagonistes.
Je terminerai cet avis en disant que ce drama me laisse une impression étrange… Durant tout mon visionnage, j’ai été mal à l’aise… Alors que je suivais le parcours du « héros » j’avais la sensation que moi aussi la folie allait me prendre à la gorge… L’ambiance est tellement lourde, glauque & malsaine que j’ai parfois eu l’impression que je pourrais étouffer… [Vous me direz, ce n’est qu’un drama. Certes, mais je ne saurai comment expliquer la sensation qu’il m’a insufflé… C’est la première fois que j’étais aussi « étrange » en regardant un(e) série/film (& pourtant j’en ai vu des séries/films glauques !!)]

hell really is other people
I finished this show 2+weeks ago and i'm still thinking about it and lowkey considering rewatching it. It hit all the notes and even though I know a season two wouldn't make sense, I want more!This was my first foray into Korean thrillers/horrors and boy did I ever pick a doozy. I have had this show on my watchlist on netflix since early 2020, but never took the plunge to watch it and now I am regretting that. It is SO GOOD. Like....really good. I didn't know what to expect going into the show, but it was so so much better than I ever thought it would be.
I could go on and on about the story, the music, and most importantly THE ACTING. The entire cast was so creepy and enthralling. Lee Dongwook and Im Siwan had some crazy chemistry and their scenes were always just on another level of creepy and intrigue.
All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who likes things that are a little messed up and crazy, but with a kickass soundtrack and a very talented group of actors. I will be rewatching this in the near future and losing my mind at it's brilliance, again.

Eerily Entertaining
This is not for the faint hearted and those who have a weak stomach for gore. I found myself dieting for some reason while watching thru the 10 episodes. I can't seem to swallow food thinking about the carmine scenes you'd always see on most episodes. The insanity and how each actor meticulously portray their characters are superb, you'll hate and get scared of them to the core. I love the soundtrack, it gets stuck in your head making you consciously become aware about possible scary things around you, just like what any successful horror flick does to you when it's really a hit.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
10/10 with no doubt
Strangers from hell is such a good series for people who are looking for a thriller type of kdrama. If that's your case, then you're 100% be interested in this series.The dark cinematography is not something that I usually enjoy, but it fits the story so much that I wasn't even bothered with it.
Even though some scenes might be very disturbing, I think they are what makes this kdrama different from other thrillers.
The soundtrack is on point for every scene and the characters are very well structured. There are little to no plot holes and everything fits like a big puzzle.
The only reason why I gave this drama a 9.5 of rewatch value instead of a 10 is because NOTHING equals to watching this for the first time, even if the series is still awesome on the second time you watch it, there won't be that feeling of surprise at every scene anymore.

probably my favorite show i have watched.
me, personally, i love this show so much. i saw it on netflix when i starting using my friends and i immediately got interested. my favorite character is mun-jo of course because he is played by the beautiful and amazing lee dong wook. i was watching the first or second episode of this show and i got my mom into it so i couldn't watch it without her. we both loved the show. it took me a little longer than expected to watch this 10 episode show of an hour each because i had to watch it with my mom, but we still loved it.the acting was magnificent. the facial expressions, actions, everything was amazingly done. i have the OST playlist saved on my spotify, i listen to it all the time. the actor of the twin(s) did very well. the character was pulled off so nice by the actor. im glad that they took his role in the show. im siwan, my dude, you did a m a z i n g in this. lee hyun-wook also acted very well in this. im not going to list off everyone's name but long story short, i DEEPLY recommend this. of course if you are sensitive to violence, insanity, language, blood, etc, i would not recommend. even though it is a good show, it can be triggering to some people. over all else, i loved it and will most defiantly be watching again.

psicopatia condivisa
disturbante è dire poco. scenografia, personaggi, musica tutto. ogni profonda repulsione della mente umana qui la si percepisce benissimo. l'ansia e la claustrofobia vengono condivise benissimo con noi dall'altra parte dello schermo.lee dong wook incarna in tutti i sensi lo stereotipo del bello e maledetto.
im si wan eccellente nello sviluppo psicologico del personaggio.
un plauso per la location. fa davvero davvero ribrezzo, l'ajumma al wellcome desk non mi avrebbe cmq invogliata ad affittare una stanza.
se vi piace il genere è assolutamente da guardare.

Twists and turns around every corner and an ending that leaves you with your jaw on the floor. A creepy hostel where everyone in it is harboring some dark secret or evil side of themselves, but inside there are no rules. Yoon Jung-Woo moves in and slowly begins his decent into madness.--Spoilers Below --
Yoon Jung Woo when he's first introduced is a handsome, smart guy who is pursuing a job in tech. His girlfriend lives in a different city and is working for a large company. Jung Woo finds everyone in the hostel creepy and somewhat strange, but cannot find another place cheap enough, so he stays there. He slowly begins making friends with some of his neighbors, particularly a handsome dentist: Seo Moon Jo. As the months go by, Jung Woo finds his life dreary and finds everyone around him annoying and beneath him. His coworker speaks down on him, but is secretly a pervert. His boss who is supposed to be his friend... is trying to steal his girlfriend behind his back. He cuts every one off and begins spending more time with Moon Jo. Their relationship, although odd, was one of my favorites in the show. As more and more time progresses and the longer Jung Woo stays in the hostel, the more his mind goes crazy. It's hard to tell what's real and not real and in the end, he's the one who pays the price fully.
Seo Moon Jo is a serial killer who has been hiding in hostels with other killers moving around for years. He works as a dentist for his ordinary life and comes home to the hostel and is cannibal by night. He found solace in Eom Bok Soon and they begin running the hostel together as a cover for killing and eating people. They kill tourists and random people who come through, never being enough evidence for the hostel to be considered or they leave before the cops can come for them. He is more controlled with his killing and methodical and also wants to find a prodigy to pass on his talents and live on in them. Moon Jo slowly brainwashes Jung Woo and falls in love with him, making him do whatever he wants, and Jung Woo not even knowing. He knows what Jung Woo is capable of and brings it out of him. Towards the end as the cops zero in, he gets Jung Woo to kill him and completing his wish of living on inside of Jung Woo's mind.
I loved his character and the way Lee Dong Wook played him. Such a dark and evil character, but has such a charisma that even pulls you in as a viewer.
-- End of Spoilers --
I didn't care for the cop side of the story at all because the more interesting side of the story was in the hostel, in my opinion. I skipped through most of it and stuck with watching the main plotline. Other than that, I would say it's not one that you would be able to re-watch since the main mystery and thrill is gone, but it's still a great, easy, short watch.
