dwijs Mar 04 2020 8:50 am Eps 8 ...so thrilled.... love it !!!

jestine29 Mar 04 2020 5:15 am an exciting drama and a must watch! tvN never fails to deliver a masterpiece every time??????? its crazily brutal, terrifying and just a roller-coaster ride of danger and suspense.

ZanTinE Feb 28 2020 2:30 am The Story is very good. I recommend this to all those who love watching horror genre. Amazingly unpredictable. Looking forward on the next six episodes.

Black parade Feb 26 2020 3:32 am Ep 6, So Jin, that smirk! Could it be...?!

Mick Psyphon Feb 21 2020 11:43 pm After reading the synopsis, I was curious abut the story. So, I dove into episode 1 with all the eagerness of kid in a candy store; and I wasn’t disappointed!!!

This isn’t your typical KDrama. It’s a cut above the average. While it’s still too early in the series to make a determination on the overall plot and storyline, episode 1 was great! They writers have successfully laid out the foundations for a series full of subplots to unfold throughout each episode.

That main characters were introduced well. They introduced foreshadowing to support many different directions that the can take us down. The characters are just interesting enough to entice us forward; and to actors are good. Really good! The production does it all justice.

I’ looking forward to the rest of this series; and I don’t expect to be disappointed.

Kharma Feb 19 2020 10:04 pm This drama is exciting every episode...

joana Feb 18 2020 5:52 am It's very nice korean drama to watch. It keeps me want more episodes to watch. I'm so excited for each release of their episodes.

Sabay Feb 14 2020 10:53 am Only 2 episodes out but it’s really good.

NOrma Feb 13 2020 5:31 pm It’s very interesting to watch so far I like it?

wayne Feb 13 2020 6:18 am I hope the low ratings does not dampen the mood of this drama. Its surprisingly good. Better than When The Devil Call Your Name and the other evil spirits dramas.

Cikita Feb 11 2020 8:54 am OMG just watched the 1st episode and its so promising! It remain me of movie called "Wailing", or korean drama called "The Guest" about Shaman and weird unexplained things about cursed. Am so Xcited! This is wanjon my style ?

Cue Jan 25 2020 1:43 am Strangers from hell feels. I love it
