One of the most enjoyable first half of a K-drama that I've watched in recent times. I really like the premise that was built up and how the bad guy was being built up as well. By the 6th-7th episode, I started to worry about whether the pacing would be poor and unfortunately it does. Possessed suffers from the same problem as it does a majority of other K-Dramas out there. It really feels like these studios that pump out K-Dramas bring out a script and secure a fixed number of episodes first and then try to throw as much filler in there. It's exactly why I always feel like the first half of the drama is around an 8/10 then falls off to almost like a 3/10 drama by the end of it.

The characters kept me interested, but I was starting to get worn out even before some of the big events happened. Even the dynamic between the two main characters started to wear me out and the big showdown? I couldn't care less. I don't even know what to say about the ending. I felt somewhat invested in the two main characters and I feel like the show was trying to instill hopelessness and dread into the viewer which they definitely did, but my hopelessness and dread wasn't towards the character's situation, it was about the show itself. The entire second half the main characters were basically debbie downers that I felt like couldn't think of any alternate solutions and went through depression after episode 8. Was I supposed to feel some sort of respite and feel for the characters when they went to the island? I'm so bummed that this show went to extremely interesting to just straight garbage. I hate this formulaic bullshit that k-dramas always do.
