Son: The Guest

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.

Best drama I've ever seen in my whole entire life !! And this is also the first korean drama that made me rate and review it on IMDB!

I really enjoyed this tv show. It was scary at times but never too much. The story was well written and the last episode was particularly good. Definitely worth watching.

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.

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.
