.The proverb is supposed to come from "people's actions can have negative consequences for third parties" I think it is a proverb that we all understand. Any action you take will at some point end up hurting someone else, even though your intentions for yourself may be good. But let's say that everyone is guilty of what happens, to a greater extent in this drama.

Jeon Yeong Ha, the owner of a guesthouse, knows something bad happened when he sees all the blood. But for some reason, he decides to clean everything up and pretend nothing happened. He himself recognizes in the end that he had a selfish thought, since she was not his son, everything would be fine or so he believed until he had to experience the same thing with his daughter and realized that he was a conscious accomplice of what happened. that had happened. I mean, I think any human being with half a brain wouldn't do that or cover up something so atrocious, whether you have children or not. So I couldn't feel sympathy with him because he himself was the hell of it. And even if you covered it up, why would you rent a room to a woman who clearly isn't right in the head? The characters lack coherence.

The timelines didn't help much either. Since they were not linear, it was very difficult to understand what was or was happening.

Yoo Seong A is... well, a person incomprehensible from a normal human being. You really don't understand why she does everything she does, she's just a psychopath who thinks she goes unpunished. Like any psychopath, she is very clever at diverting attention from her. There is not much to think about, a psychopath does not necessarily need to have a motive or a problematic past to do what he does. She enjoys the chaos she creates, seeing the suffering she causes, and killing without remorse. It's in her nature. Although I think the father did the right thing and maybe what he says may sound controversial, but when you see that you have brought a monster into the world, who is manipulative, narcissistic and psychopathic enough that he always gets his way, with all the pain of soul you must stop it at all costs. Even if it's killing her, to stop her because she was never going to stop.

Officer Min is an idiot. How can you think of wanting to catch a psychopath on your own? Obviously I had to have reinforcements and not go as a heroine to stop her alone.

I think the director tried to create so much doubt and mystery that he ended up ruining it. He made it so complicated for the viewer that he made one feel even more confused as each chapter passed.

I think Yoo Seong A's death was unnecessary. She should have gone to jail, after all that's what scared her the most. After all her crimes, her death was only a very light punishment.

However, the performances were very good, especially Go Min Si. It was really too scary. I don't know if I would meet a person who is laughing like crazy and grabbing things like a crazy person in a supermarket, I would be scared shitless.

I also didn't understand that parallel she made between that scene of her and him owner. What the director meant with that scene?

Although I liked the final sentence. I think it means the victims, they may scream but will their scream really reach someone or will it still be like a fallen tree that falls silently without anyone noticing.

I really love psychological horror no matter how complicated it is. But this drama was a challenge, even analyzing it mentally. The timelines were not parallel, it seemed sometimes that they went separately or did not connect at any point. The "normal" characters lacked reasoning. And the murderers, well as I said, it is difficult for normal people to understand the mind of a psychopath. Even as a psychologist I don't understand her reasoning and even my fellow psychiatrists also face a great challenge when we have people like that in front of us. If there is one thing that characterizes us, it is trying to get into their sick minds and trying to find an answer but one always fails because many times there is no answer at all. You just have to accept that there are people who are capable of doing any atrocity in this world. There is a reason why the human brain of these people continues to be studied to try to understand what leads them to this. It is something fascinating, not because you want to be like them, but because it is a great challenge but also has a great mental cost for us.

A psychological horror series or film does not necessarily need to be so complex for the viewer. Because you only make the viewer feel like "I didn't understand anything I saw." I think the director was guilty of being arrogant and bringing something "innovative" when it really is nothing innovative.

For example, although The Worst of Evil is a crime and police drama, psychology was used correctly. Especially in the main character where what is morally correct becomes blurred for him and in the end he does not even know what is right or what is not.

If you know how to use psychology well, it doesn't matter if it's a police drama, a thriller or a crime drama, it works, but if you use it in the wrong way, what happened here happens.

I recommend it? I honestly don't know. You will have to check it yourself to know if it is to your liking or not. And even more so if you are a big fan of psychological horror like me. It didn't work for me, honestly. In the end everything was very banal.

I want to point out that the cinematography was very good, even the flashy lights. Somehow it made you get inside her head and the psychological war that the landlord and the tenant were battling.

I can only highlight the updates and cinematography but that was not enough for me to like the drama.
