Nina May 06 2021 8:11 pm Love this drama so much.....I love the storyline and how the characters are connected to one another. Really hoping there's a season 2.

Yeorobun Apr 18 2021 3:43 am Jung Jiso is such a great actress!

Diana Dec 09 2020 6:35 am What a waste of time. If you are planning on watching something like Guest, don’t watch this one. Its slow paced and each minute feels as if you are having a stroke. There’s no antagonist or protagonist character, everyone is morally bad in cynical way. It left such a bad taste in my mouth that my chronic illness started acting up.

Velly Sep 03 2020 11:32 am I hope there is season 2 i really love the story line its so unique❤️❤️❤️

nu Jun 17 2020 1:13 pm I’m not kidding when I say this drama is one of the best I’ve ever seen, every episode got me hooked! The storyline is sooo unique and the production is excellent!

mystysm Mar 18 2020 1:40 am IDK how to describe this drama (very recommended). From the story plot (not heavy but not too simple) to the actor/ess are very amazing.

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.

Norma Feb 17 2020 9:44 pm How come its low ratings coz it’s a good drama to watch?

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
