CRAZY SHAMANISM AND CURSE STORY!
The setup is simple i.e. a school. What started with two girl school students and their trauma, passed on to the other school students through this app, called GIRIGO. Five friends and their wishes to save others and themselves.
Crazy plot and storyline. Loved the acting, like kdramas never fail me in thriller and horror genres. There is always a mystery lingering in the background about the origin of this curse and how this current group of school students will escape it. One of our school students' aunt is a Shaman, I personally loved her character and her husband's. Watching them on the screen was always a relief.
It is a good school horror, intelligently written, having good jumpscares and driving you to the edge of your seat! I loved that scene where the shaman aunt brought Se-ah spirit back, while burning that incense in her room and her husband guiding the outside. Se-ah reliving her friend's death, her parents' death and finally escaping the false present. ALSO, her long jumps, were like wow!!
Both Si-Won and Hye-Ryung were responsible for this curse and Girigo app. One bullied the other because of her own insecurities and misunderstanding, so the other committed suicide using the same means that was used to bully her and meanwhile offered herself to curse all her friends. But SI-Won didn't stop here, she again made the wish ("her last wish") for the curse to be repeated, and thus everyone who installs the app and makes a wish, must die after the wish is granted i.e. a price needs to be paid. Unless some other person's wish is granted, this person will die within 24 hours.
The series definitely has some gruesome and brutal scenes, explicit suicide and murder scenes. They can be disturbing but it suits the vibe of the drama perfectly and gives it the right amount of thriller and horror. Na-ri's character irritated me throughout. This drama really sheds light on human psychology as well and truly portray how we often feel in certain situations.
Finding the red phone towards the end, this chase really had me hooked. It was so adrenaline-hyped and amazingly written! Though the drama ends on a positive note, it hints towards the scope of other season as this chapter of Girigo has not ended yet. Whatever it is, this season was perfect from start to end. I will not say it is too much of gore, but it is perfect for serious thriller watch. The whole curse story and the concept is bone-chilling and truly horrifying to imagine in real! So do give it a watch, it will not go to waste.
