I simply cannot come to terms with the ending.
The show is definitely a product of it's time. It has over the top scenes, a lot of crying at the drop of the hat, illogical second leads, needless angst, but you know what? Park shin hye and lee wan make it work. Their chemistry has this innocent charm to it. It's just so pure and heart wrenching that despite rolling your eyes at some of the scenes (especially the ones with the fangirls) you just cant seem to look away. Lee wan's gaze has this intensity and coupled with a very young park shin hye with her natural acting and wide eyed innocence, it just works.

And because i cant come to terms with the ending ive formed my own (tagged as spoiler below)

I would love a s3 but only if they include ho yul and beomgyu. Captain lim and ahn junho are still in service so of course we'll see them but i really want the writer to somehow include ho yul and beomgyu

We are not supposed to know much about park il do. In the finale he clearly says that he's been around longer than humans. So how could he be understood? He's implied to be some sort of prince of darkness, an entity beyond our understanding, and im fine with leaving it there. Just like im fine with revenant showing that we often end up creating the evils that plague us because of our greed. They are both very good shows with excellent acting.
I give the guest more praise and a higher rating because the plot was just perfect. And the greater number of episodes allowed the trio to develop the legendary chemistry they had which imo was lacking in the revenant. I also felt that revenant had this epic build up but the final show down was lackluster. While in the guest the finale was everything. The three coming together and their desperation in stopping park il do. The way they held on till the very last moment. That desperation and emotional connection was lacking in revenant.
But at the end of the day, despite their similarities, they are two different shows and i enjoyed watching both.
I respect your opinion as well

To be honest, i think it's about perspective. There's a hint of something being there between hongsae and sanyeong. It may or may not happen. It may be a simple friendship for now but there's potential for it to evolve into something more.
I dont see anything beyond a student teacher relationship between haesung and sanyeongn (or maybe uncle niece) but that's the beauty of it. You can watch something and have a completely different perspective and I respect everyone's perspective on this. Without a doubt, this was a good show that had us on the edge, biting our nails. Im glad our trio pulled through

Yeah and the emotional impact some of the excorcisms had, like the one with the woman who was pregnant. The way all three helped her out of it, i still remember how emotional it made me with the way they literally yanked her away from the darkness. Plus that ost was everything. I listen to it when im going through particularly trying times.

Ooooh you mentioned my mister, now i absolutely have to watch this

Noooo this is definitely not better than the guest. In terms of plot and finale, the guest was definitely superior. In terms of acting, they are both equally good. But maaaan the guest and that finale just hits different.

Finally finished binge watching this and it was so good!
Though i do agree with the reviewer who said this is the guest's younger sibling. That is more obvious in the finale. The guest has one of my all time favourite finales. In fact i would say no finale has managed to top it yet. Revenant was gripping from beginning to end but i do think the final confrontation scene lacked the oomph factor i was anticipating. The build up to it was so good, i guess i just expected a little more
That being said, the show is definite 9/10 and i do recommend it. I especially loved the chemistry between hong sae and sanyeong. It was effortless and just the right amount.
Now that we are done with this, someone ask the maker when they plan on giving us kingdom s3 :P

Finally someone who agrees with me. Dark genre suits kim dong wook the best. Him in king of pigs and the guest was something else entirely

It's just that ive see shows with horrible endings, this doesn't seem that bad 😅

Oh that's fine then 🤣

Oh...so kinda like the guest. Our main lead gets blinded in one eye

Could you explain a bit? I dont mind spoilers

Please feel free to spoil the ending for me 😅

Finally coming to an end. Please be a nice ending so that i can binge it. Reminds me of the guest which i absolutely loved and have been waiting for the korean drama industry to make something similar to it

Making the barrier isn't useless? Unfortunately we are conditioned to attach the word "strength" with over the top displays of power. Making the barrier was a very difficult thing to do and she did it.

I don't think gungtan was ever afraid of her. He was afraid of what she could do which was create a barrier and send him to the void below.
She's strong because she's the only one who could endure the training and make the barrier. Physical strength isnt the only you can be strong

Meh. Not interested if there's no van (kim nam gil) since that was literally the reason why i watched it

Nope sorry, didnt see any. Especially since i knew he was going to be loyal till the end. Even trying to think of the detective and him in any romantic setting seems ridiculous. But to each their own
