Not related to being young. He just sticks out a lot when the 3 of them are on-screen. And the 3 of them look kinda odd visually. Like at least I can’t relate to them being a demon-fighting “trio”. For example, I have no idea how Sung Joon’s character looks in the webtoon, but I think he really looks the part he is playing visually and the visual contrast is amazing when he is against Kim Nam Gil.
Finished 6 episodes. I would have expected the drama to be more impactful. Somehow, just feel that there is something…
Same. I can’t pinpoint exactly wot but the core plot is really good actually (there are enough subplots and details to the story, even surprises/twists)… I think they should have left it as 16 episodes instead of 12……
It could also be the physical chemistry…. Like the FL is really pretty but she is really tall though, and although Cha Eun Woo did a pretty decent job in playing the role but he is definitely too babyfaced for an exorcist… he looks so sunshine… 🤣 like someone who walked straight out of a boyband poster…
And the first 3 episodes were way too random/insignificant/slow…. Like there wasn’t enough substance/story too it, or maybe there is but they didn’t link it together….? so in a way it was kinda wasted… think they wasted an hour in the first 3-4 episodes… and only started revealing more to the core of the plot in episodes 5 and 6… so Part 2 should theoretically be fast paced and condensed if they produced/edited it well.
Think the MDL score reflects it though. I gave it a 8.5. I really enjoyed it, but yea, also felt like something was amiss so it wasn’t like superb kinda level.
apparently this is just 6eps ?!?!?! 😫😫😫 I tot its 12!!! imma binge watch this later 😭😭😭
I’m just as annoyed…. Why did they split it into half. Doesn’t make sense to follow American TV series format because the plot is a continuation…. Not like a case-by-case basis which wraps up in 1 episode kinda thing.
Shitz… I shouldn’t have started until all 12 episodes are released.
Joining the re-watch squad third time! :)It is one of these dramas that I can keep running while doing my studies
I’m watching for the 2nd time…. And I forgotten how good this was….. Damns….. as much as the romance plot was cliché but all K-drama romance are to some extent…. They nailed all aspects… I’m so so so happy they got married in real life….. their chemistry was seriously off the charts and the more amazing thing is they were friends for a few yrs prior already. 😍😍😍 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
A good attempt but I’m going to drop this….. I find a lot of the special and dramatic effects way over the top. Some scenes are just too exaggerated, like I’m pretty sure that doesn’t occur in any possession, at least none recorded.
Maybe a better plot/idea would have been to combine police and the whole exorcism thing… or purely psychiatry and exorcism…..
As it's from 2001 no worries I will try but just want to know is the romance good enough cuz it's n old series…
Was not bad. Lol. Kinda unique. But totally not the C-drama or K-drama type of romance… I watched both. Didn’t like the movie. Hurmmm give it a try, might not exactly be your thing. Coz one of the main reasons is that… it is super funny BUT I’m worried that most of the humour gets lost in translation when it’s in Eng subs.
Rewatched this for the 2nd time and just realised how well-researched this drama is. Bravo to the screenwriters….
As much as they took things to the dramatic side, i.e literally chasing after one evil spirit that originates from the sea and had a scene appearing Dementor-like (amongst other things)…… I just noticed that they actually incorporated a lot of elements from Western movies based on true stories…. And also renowned exorcism stories that were documented…
I never knew expelling nails were one of the recognised signs of possession…. until I watched The Rite and read interviews of the subjected priest. When I watched the scene in The Guest I actually rolled my eyes thinking that is just wayyyyy over the top and exaggerated…. This was just one of the instances amongst a few others which I came to discover that is based on some form of facts/documentation/standards released by the Catholic church etc….
Of course… just like The Rite, The Exorcist, The Exorcism of Emily Rose etc… there are a lot of skeptics and some that completely calls it a hoax which would have also applied to The Guest. However that aside, just the incorporation of facts into the sensible plot is a super impressive feat… rewatching for the 2nd time I noticed how the plot is so intricate and full of twists.
Also…. I have to say, damns… S.Koreans can really act man… even the kids and super minor casts. 😳
It has romance, but depends on which type of romance you like. The main pairing romance is really good imo
Lol. I felt the entire Blue Whisper was just filled with angst and pain.. 🤣
Just watched the thriller of this one… looks like there are comedic moments… 🤔 looks quite balanced. I’d probably give it a go once it finishes airing.
A worthy watch, love the cinematography although it’s likely the script didn’t require a lot of budget. 8.5 for me per MDL’s gauge. I’ve never watched the original film so no idea how it compares to that.

This drama was perfect…. At least for me.

AoL I didn’t finish it.
Blue Whisper was painful everywhere… lol. Even her relationship with her “brother” was sad. 🤣
I think you mentioned an important point…. So if it doesn’t a drag out I think it’s ok. As long as it doesn’t consume the entire drama…
