GREAT WATCH FROM A HORROR LOVER

What a great piece! The chemistry of the cast, the story, the acting, especially the script! I love all of it! As a horror/thriller lover I've had a hard time searching for good dramas with this kind of concepts and I'm so thankful that I didn't hesitate watching this as soon as I've found it! It's freaking great! Also with the casts acting and hard work especially at the last battle scene I probably won't be able to move on from this for a couple of months!
one of the best drama I've watch from 2018!

Only at episode 6 and I’m already writing a review simply because I am completely blown away by this series to date. Fresh storyline with good chemistry across the cast except maybe 1 or 2 minor roles.

The poignant scene where the 3 protagonists come together at the scene of the crime is well staged and played out. Also, The scene where the female cop cried when she related the cause of her mum’s death to her colleague really caught me...a sort of a bittersweet closure.

Onwards to the rest of the series!

P.s does anyone know where this show is filmed? I love the psychic’s grandpa’s house

One of the best dramas

In my opinion this is one of the best crime and paranormal dramas.
The drama is quite scary, especial the first episode, when they show what happened in the past.
As it progresses the drama also becomes quite emotional, and here the OST plays a big role. Somewhere is a very emotional song and it is played during the most important scenes.
The actors did their job very well. The most I liked Choi Yoon aka Father Mateo. I think Jae Wook did a great job in his character portrayal. Father Mateo impressed me the most because he was deeply hurt by what happened to his family, yet he was calm and considerate. It was touching how he protected Mi Jin's son from seeing his dead mother in episode 7, also how he took care of Seo Yoon. How he tried to protect her when the door opened and she got possessed, also how she treated her after, during her exorcism and after she was exorcised. Was impressive how she was sleeping on him when they were taking her home and how he was holding her hand. Felt like he took a special care of her. I think they have potential as a duo for a second season in which she chases spirits and he exorcises them. Also in last episode he was ready to die to save Hwa Pyeong when they were both in water. I think he also softened Gil-Young, by helping her understand that Hwa Pyeong also has his wounds. Hwa Pyeong was more reckless, but he was also ready to sacrifice himself to save Mateo. This was also impressive. However I think Father Mateo is one of the best characters i saw in a drama.

Another OCN masterpiece.
The story of three people affected by a cursed, demonic spirit. I know it's just two episodes so far but I'll alter my review accordingly. Just thought someone should say it, that I'm a huge Jaewook fan so him being in something is enough but this show has the same darkness of Voice and Save Me, my favorite kind of show. It's pure horror though, and so poignant and thoughtful.
The first two episodes dealt with some past background and current time victims of the same demon.

Weirdest show out of the bunch of kdramas I've watched, but not in a very bad way. Story progresses quick, but I think I've dropped this for now in the middle of the 'slow point' of the show. I think what made me not that interested was the female lead being kind of annoying, me wanting the priest to be the main character, and the mc being kind of bland. Some people say that being able to predict the ending of something means the author has written their story well, but for this specific show, I'd say that it's not the good kind of prediction. The one thing that I can be overly positive about is that all the actors in the show are amazing at their job; especially the people playing the possessed.

Perdukunan + Exorcism

8,4/10. Sebenernya ini bagus dan lebih horror dari revenant karena banyak nyorot part hantunya (+ org org yg kerasukan lebih serem dibanding di revenant). Tapi tiap kasus tuh dibuat complex and slow (bahkan 1 kasus bisa makan 2 eps dalam durasi 1 jam), which is agak boring jujur ((menurutku ?)). Ini tuh aku cepetin biar ga terlalu slow juga gabisa, karena dialognya PANJANG banget dalam satu waktu and sometimes sulit aku cerna karena banyak tentang perdukunan + exorcismnya. Plotnya di awal boring tapi mendekati ending makin bagus dan bikin penasaran (a plus point) ?? di ending juga BANYAK plot twist WKWKWKWK padahal gw udah mewek jelek eh tau2nya ??? tapi jujur ya aku kurang suka endingnya soalnya ga bener2 clear kalo si Park Il Do-nya tuh pergi ((padahal gw udah dendam ksumat bget ???)). For each character... hm,, jujur kadang aku gemes bgt ada part dimana mereka tuh LAMA buat ambil keputusan kayak??? Bikin emosi njir ??? SAMA kaya misal ada kasus nih, trus mereka tuh kok bisa ya tbtb udah nyampe di tkp KAYAK ancrit semuanya cenayang kh,,,, intinya kaya dibuat mudah gitu lho sm plotnya WAKAKAKA. Selebihnya ga ada sih... OH YA ini agak mirip2 save me juga, sama2 stressful ? karena banyak perdukunan gitu agak pusing jujur sm ceritanya TAPI seru tapi yh sLOW gitu. Ga terlalu banyak adegan thrilling-nya, jd sbg pecinta horror-thriller menurutku ini kurang recommended ((kecuali eps eps mendekati ending)). Dan jujur selama nonton drama ini aku berat banget bJIR buat namatinnya gatau knp ?????

le démon qu'on pourchasse est en faitlemal en chacun de nous

Bon, Il apparaît tout de suite que nous évoluons entièrement dans le domaine de la possession démoniaque et de tous ses attributs,  soit des scènes plutôt gores (surtout les deux premiers épisodes) et assez violentes.
En général je ne m’intéresse pas vraiment à ce genre-là, sauf que là il semble que ce soit le premier drama d’horreur, alors qu’il y a déjà nombre de films de cette catégorie et j’étais curieuse de voir ça, d’autant que le gore, la possession démoniaque et tout ce qui s’en suit me laissent plutôt froide et ne me donnent ni cauchemars ni attirance particulière, parce qu’en général je trouve ça aussi ennuyeux que les histoires de sexe : répétitif, sans originalité et mal joué !
Sauf que …
Sauf que là ce n’est pas le cas ! D’abord les scènes de possession ne sont utilisées qu’à bon escient, elles sont bien faites (pour le genre, hein ? ) et surtout l’intérêt du drama est dans la rencontre de trois personnages très différents, dont le seul lien est un destin tragique, ce qui les dresse les uns contre les autres au début…
La recherche et la poursuite en vue de l’élimination du démon se rapporte à la recherche et l’arrestation d’un horrible meurtrier, ce sont les moyens qui changent et le recours au spirituel qui sort de l’ordinaire. Cette tension et l’approfondissement psychologique des personnages donne au drama un intérêt certain, une grande force et une belle originalité, si on supporte les scènes disons… pénibles !
Les acteurs sont très bons,  parce que rendre crédible ce qu’ils incarnent n’est pas à la portée de tous, et surtout le jeune voyant Hwa Pyung et la policière Kil Young bien que Mateo aussi soit très bien, sans oublier les seconds rôles, l’ami chaman et le détective Go, vraiment remarquables ! Je relève encore une fois une héroïne sans mièvrerie, très simple et naturelle, paraissant sortie de la vraie vie. Je crois que les Coréens ont compris que même dans les dramas une policière ne court pas dans la rue en mini jupe et talons de 12 cm avec un maquillage qui aurait demandé une heure  !!
La fin est très belle, bien que la scène dans la mer qui la précède soit un poil trop longue, même si très puissante, mais elle m’a convenu parfaitement, dans le droit fil de la logique de l’histoire. De plus j’ai beaucoup aimé les quelques lignes d’explication des scénaristes concernant le pourquoi du choix de cette histoire improbable !
Il y a deux chansons, très discrètes, bien placées, et à part ça une Bande son de circonstance, vu les scènes d’angoisse supposées !
Mon souci : l’obsession du réalisateur (déjà soulignée dans Voice) pour la couleur rouge et verte des éclairages de scènes « angoissantes » comme s’il voulait être sûr qu’on a compris ! Mais on s’y fait et le reste m’a vraiment plu !
Je le conseille pour les cœurs (et estomacs) bien accrochés !

Un thriller de terror sobrenatural

‘The Guest’ es un gran K-Drama de suspense sobrenatural y terror, con un guión bien pensado y con un ritmo bastante bueno. Sí que hay un par de episodios que se me hicieron algo cuesta arriba, pero después sólo tienes ganas de ver cómo acaba, y descubrir quién es Park Il-do. Los actores están geniales, y a medida que avanza la serie, y sus personajes evolucionan, les coges un gran aprecio.

Si os gustan los thrillers de terror sobrenatural como ‘El Extraño’, ‘The Priests’, ‘El exorcista III’ y ‘Fallen’, o si habéis disfrutado de las series coreanas ‘Possessed’ y ‘The Cursed’, fijo que os gustará.

MARAVILHOSO

Esse drama entrou definitivamente na minha lista dos favoritos, é uma obra incrivel.
A história te mantém interessado do inicio ao fim. A atmosfera tensa e as reviravoltas te deixam roendo unha na ponta dos pés de ansiedade .
Quero também exaltar as atuações, principalmente dos possuídos e os antagonistas, atuaram brilhatemente foi muito real. Para mim foi um dos melhores dramas nos ultimos tempo, claro tem seus defeitos mas não atrapalha nem um pouco a experiência.
Eu com certeza indico que você assista este drama, vale muito a pena.

APENAS VEJA

fui assistir sem saber nada sobre a história, apenas seguindo as avaliações e ainda assim, com zero expectativas.
não curti muito o 1⁰ ep por ser bem diferente dos doramas que já vi antes, mas resolvi dá uma chance porque queria saber como funcionaria o enredo e FOI A MELHOR ESCOLHA QUE JÁ FIZ!
personagens bem construídos, explorados e desenvolvidos, uma história que, apesar de ter o mesmo tema que outras séries sobrenaturais, ainda assim tem a sua pegada original e um plot fascinante!

Posesiones y exorcismos coreanos para todos.

'The Guest' entra directamente en mi podio de kdramas favoritos. Aguanta el paso de los episodios como un titán manteniendo el nivel en todos ellos gracias a distintas posesiones y situaciones. Todo ello envuelto en un constante halo de misterio respecto a la trama y de suspense en cuanto al tratamiento que te mantiene en velo durante todo su metraje. La evolución de los personajes es muy buena pasando del rechazo a la amistad forjada por combatir lo inexplicable y conectando sus distintos destinos de forma muy correcta. Otra virtud a destacar es lo imprevisible que resulta en más de un momento, tanto por el juego psicológico en esta especie de escondite constante, como por las decisiones de guion que se alejan de lugares comunes para abrazar lo nefasto cuando corresponde. En definitiva, un drama magnífico que hay que reivindicar para los amantes del terror y del suspense porque no se conoce tanto como debería.
