Son: The Guest

OCN produced a modern horror classic in 'The Guest'. High production value, solid storytelling, memorable acting and a unique blend of Korean shamanism & Catholic tradition. The pilot episode (ep.1) is arguably the most perfect pilot episode in Kdrama history. The tension in the story builds up and up and reaches a satisfying climax and conclusion. Recommended.

I wish many people who love maniac occult would enjoy this TV show with various languages I tell you I'm pretty good at horror shows, occult stuff. However, this is obviously beyond most of exsting occult stuff. This show is an accomplishment of Traditional Korean superstition and Western occult

Caution: If you have a trouble with sleep, I recommend you to avoid watching the show before get to bed. Also, if you're not that good with horror stuff, you better prepare spare panties. Do not watch the show by your own!

Guest isn't a typical Kdrama. Rather than horror the highlight of this dramas is Friendship. Every second of this drama is worth watching and there no single scene is boring or need to skip. The cinematography, acting, script, costume everything is amazing. Don't miss out this gem. One of the best korean dramas in 2018.

Story, acting, twist, and cinematography are very well done. You can't wait to watch next episode after every episode done. They almost make every episode feel like you watch movie, very tense horror thriller. Its really breakthrough K-drama you can watch. My self are really picky when come to matter of watch TV Show because in many case they can't hold the tension and excitement until few episode left out, but i can say "The Guest" are managed to surpass that problem. The chemistry between three leads are very good and every scene about possessed are really creppy and believable. If you really like horror, with thriller, suspense, excorsist, i strongly suggest you to give it a shot to watch this series. Its pure tense without some unnecessary love scene like other mainstream K drama.

I usually avoid horror, so I missed this one when it first came out. Then it popped up on Netflix this month, and because of being confined during COVID like millions, I decided to try it. The entire cast is wonderful, the writing and direction superb. And yes it's scary in places but also deeply moving in the building of relationships, and a young person becoming what he was meant to be. However, I did think this could have been done well in 12-14 eps as the last ones felt repetitive and draggy. But I liked the series very much.
