Disturbing psychological events

When I saw the first episode, I was like, this is not scary at all. I read the plot summary and it went like " the real events are scarier than the drama " . After reading that I thought I would watch it during the day. The drama itself isn't that scary but many scenes are psychologically disturbing.

Drama starts with a famous celebrity Haruka's paranormal experience and then goes on to show how this experience affects her and her boyfriend's life. A writer interested in paranormal stories, interviews Haruka and comes to know that all of the bad events started when her boyfriend turned fiance visited a cursed house. Then the writer connects with a number of other families who had lived in that house for a period of time . The writer discovers that all of them had experienced severe personal losses in their life after staying in that house. I liked how the writer tries to connect the dots between the events happened to the families who lived in that house once and the bad things that followed their life even after leaving the house.

The events each family goes through is shown in detail - there are many gore scenes - flesh and blood etc.. So if you are triggered by those type of scenes, then this drama may not be for you. More than your typical horror movies, in this drama, people who visit the house or who stays there experiences severe psychological disturbances.

If you like psychological, disturbing gore kind of drama for a change, then you could give this a try.
