An Oct 09 2023 1:51 pm I just saw this drama in 2023 because I can't watch horror movies/dramas. However, this drama is awesome. I could watch the entire episodes because I was also curious who the spirit was. Overall it's 9/10.

tetzelprizes Jul 15 2023 8:13 am I love love horror and the premise of this drama caught me, but as with kdramas... they're so long. And the longer I watch the more I notice that it's violence against women episode after episode. It's so tiring to watch. If there were something to more than just that, then I'd give it the benefit of doubt. Or maybe after their possession/suffering the audience would know what happened to them even as a nuance. But no we're just carted off to the next female victim and women here are just objectified and violated. I think this would've worked better as a movie and not a series that drags on.

taehofan Jun 14 2023 5:43 am Maybe it's because I wasn't paying too much attention to the details in the first few episodes that I thought the priest from the first episode (Ahn Nae-sang) was the same as the other detective (Park Ho-san) ???

It's now clear to me that they look different from each other LOL

BTW this is a really good series. I never got bored watching it

JT Feb 22 2023 5:59 pm This one will have you on edge the entire time. On a side note Coffee Prince reunites in this one!

melonbread Jan 19 2023 2:32 am Loving this series. Acting is great. Only issue i have is they wrote Jung Eunchae's character to have such a bad temper. Would have been nice if her character was a little more than one-dimensional bad temper all the time.

Suzy Dec 05 2022 2:07 am It's my second time watching this and it is still amazing to me. Love the storyline, plots, scene as well as all the great actors. You guys did such a damn good job!!!

Yeruchii Oct 26 2022 4:07 am The start was so soooo good. The first episode was just damn exceptional. Then it spiralled towards absurdity with the later episodes. Idk about ya'll but I cringed at some parts. The acting was good, story was good, plot good, it's just some lines are so awkward to hear especially those coming out from Choi Yoon. Other than that it was a good k-watch. A rare gem most people just bypass. Those who are into the horror genre, this one is totally recommended.

anzal Aug 03 2022 6:33 pm sooooo good tremendous drama acting.... really so scary

Ian May 16 2022 11:56 pm Very underrated. This show is so good. Gave me nightmares although i'm a grown up man.

jylav May 04 2022 12:59 am i just finished it, and wow this is the most underrated Korean drama , just watching it on 2022. i cried twice on that ending it was sooo powerful.

jyla Apr 26 2022 5:40 am i think the detective looks so out of place. she's pretty n can't deliver acting as detective. downside still tolerablr. cuz the plot is good so far im in ep 3

Nenabunena Apr 20 2022 2:57 pm So many inaccurate things:

1. A parent can't ordain their sons as priests. 2. Before entering the seminary, there is a period of discernment, usually takes a few years before you're even considered to enter the seminary. Before you enter, there is a series of interviews and background checks. Seminary takes 8-10years to assure that you really want to be a priest. So a person who does not want to be a priest from the get go is rooted out.

3. The Church teaches that only willing participants can be truly possessed.

4. The younger and more inexperienced priest is monitored and not left alone with the possessed .

5. The elder exorcist acted amateurish and easily distracted by the possessed as if it was his 1st time.

6. Exorcists go to confession bec they know that their sins will be used against them by the possessed.

7. They would've used the other 2 laymen and gotten their confession to assist in the exorcism.

8. Exorcisms can often take a long time and isn't a 1 go quickie.

9. Why did the younger priest allow the elder to walk into a busy highway with a vehicle coming to hit him? It's impossible for him not to have seen the oncoming vehicle. Stupid.

10. An exorcism requires investigation and the possessed is checked by both a medical doctor and a psychiatrist which informs the Bishop whether an exorcism should take place.

Cain Apr 10 2022 8:23 am I wanna watch it but then I saw it's on OCN lololol

Anyone that familiar with OCN will know how they like their ending.

I gotta brace myself for this

Smeralldo Mar 30 2022 12:48 pm I first watched The Guest two years ago and now I'm watching it the second time and still perfect !!! I'm a huge horror fan but I've never watched a horror kdrama as good as this one ! I usually forget the character names after I'm done with a show but somehow Park Il Do didn't leave my mind !

The chemistry between the characters , the storyline and all the dark atmosphere were truly flawless. Also "Somewhere" has become one of my all time favorite OSTs !!! Still hoping a new season but I don't think it'll come ...

Also thanks The Guest for introducing me O3ohn ??

Monette Mar 23 2022 4:00 am Such a nice story. I really loved it. Great casting and all! I hope there is part 2.

Catheline Mar 17 2022 6:31 am This Is So Good. Such A Hidden Gem. How come i just found it in 2022. The exorcism is the best part, kim jae wook really nailed it as priest yoon. This is solid from the start to the end. Great job ocn. I would rewatch it again soon i guess. 10/10

serraa Jan 25 2022 4:18 am 10/10, definitely worth to watch! i've added this tv show on my watching list since 2020, but just watched it two days ago. it gave me goosebumps whenever i they did the exorcism. and that 'park il do' thing still lingering in my head... great job the guest team!

Marathon24 Jan 17 2022 5:40 am I don't normally watch horror genres, but this one is worth watching. I love the story and characters. It doesn't really scared me because I just skipped the ghost parts, LOL. I was more scared watching Signal although there's no ghost involved in that one. The exorcism scenes were scarry, but the handsome priest Kim Kae Wook made the scenes bearable to watch. Hwa Pyung character is reckless but I love it. He seems to complete the trio. The female detective Gil Young is also awesome! I love how she was the strongest physically and very good at fighting. I love her tomboy style, and she is pretty wven with tje messy hair. Just give this drama a go!

Amel Oct 01 2021 1:12 pm The best horror korean drama. I got a nightmare while I was watching it.

Jared Santiago Sep 13 2021 12:23 am This series didn't scared me at all, but the story was so good, the emotions i felt on the sea scene was strong, ang the plot twist was also amazing. if you liked The Guest, you would also like "Priest", it was also from OCN

Bucin oppa Aug 12 2021 1:12 am For the first time in forever, Im frighten watching a horror kdrama. The actor Jeon Baesu is really something. I watched it in the middle of the night, then I closed my netflix on first half of ep 2. Continue it next day. Yes, on the DAY.

Ati Aug 06 2021 12:40 am This Drama kept me hooked up till the end. Worth watching

Heyaaa Jul 23 2021 10:33 am I just finished this drama yesterday because I can't wait until You are my spring next episode and I miss Ryan Gold. I love Jung Eun Chae in The King. She is a great actress. Also Kim Dong Wook and Kim Jae wook combo is great since Coffee Prince.

At first I cannot finnish this because it's a scary drama. I watch the episode 1 only and cannot watch until finish. My mom really love this drama and recommend this to me. After years finally I watch this drama until the end. I Love It!!!!

I love the storyline, characters, and also the message (moral value) from this drama. I cried hard on last episode (that sea scene with the trio). No love story and no romance. Just friendship and family things. It's beautiful. No need for next season. I don't want to hear Park IL Do name anymore.

G Jun 16 2021 2:43 pm If you need a sign whether to watch this drama, this is it. Watch It. I regret not watching it earlier. I loved every part of it. Though I think they could've done something with the park hongju character. Am I the only one hoping for a second season? Its an open ending, I think its possible.

Sherry Murphy Jun 04 2021 1:30 pm I am a horror buff. Normally though I only watch a foreign movie or series once but I have watched the Guest a few times now and it is definitely worth the time. 5 thumbs up!

sugar Apr 17 2021 8:18 am Wow Fantastic!!! Absolutely Gruesome, Horror, Dark and Scary story!!! I'm so glad it's on Netflix, it took me awhile to get courage to watch this.

Honestly I hate watching horror films but this one I enjoyed it a lot even if turn off the sound and watched with one one closed! Hahaha!!! This one of the beside Korean horror film ever! The best script, directing, cinematography and best acting of all cast esp the 3 main actors!!! I just like the funny scene with KDW he's cute, KJW is a hottie priest! He's so darn good and gives justice to his character! JEC is absolutely good detective and kicking asses, she has a very strong role and so pretty without makeup even if she look and act like a tomboyish!

I wonder why this film did not have any award or nomination? Any from the script, director and cast of actors and actresses, even the kids in this film are on point and well acted! This is absolutely brilliant film! Bravo to all cast and crews! congratulations!!!

Highly recommended!!! Remember... All evil starts in the heart of men. As the saying goes, 'Man is the most fearsome creatures.' Perhaps we are the problem... Peace and find comfort with your faith!... So be brave and watched!

Eunji Mar 13 2021 4:48 am What a great piece! The chemistry of the cast, the story, the acting, especially the script! I love all of it! one of the best drama I've watch from 2018!

Veveve Mar 04 2021 5:15 pm I need S2 haha. At the end ha pyoung said that the guess will come again. I think so too. I wanna see the end of the guest

Nina Mar 01 2021 9:56 pm Best Kdrama ever!!! Love the story, love the actors, basically love everything. Should make more drama like this.

lil yoon Feb 18 2021 12:08 am WOW I got so frustrated around EP11-12 because what took so long?? but Worth The Patience, brilliantly made! I gave it 8.5/10. Before my review, exorcism scene is supposed to be scary (?) for me but Lee Jaewook is hot af so I was distracted lol

The chemistry between the 3 lead was kinda off in the first episodes but once they opened up ㅠㅠ honestly I kinda wish they didn’t put the back story and plot twist all in the last episode... and how they made female lead to be emotionally weak. Kinda Hwapyung-centred also, if there were S2 I wish they could tell more about CY & KKY family.

But still the story delivered! I am still speechless until now because the ending was tear-jerking as hell... Grandpa I Love Your Acting lol

Recommended to watch while using earphones to appreciate the background music and OST more... it’s beautiful :’) I will definitely rewatch one day!

Mia Feb 11 2021 12:00 pm Splendid!!

Dave Jan 31 2021 10:29 am Fukin A+++ my wife and I on edge of our seat. Loved it!

Park il Do!!!

joe reilly Jan 24 2021 8:13 am Brilliant just pure and simply Brilliant, this had me on the edge of my seat it had more Red Herrings than a North Sea Fishing Boat.

The direction was fantastic, the Acting was superb in every detail. The local was fantastic shown of Korea at its best. Just loved it and will miss this trio the last episode was heart breaking and the ending was yet again another brilliant Red Herring

sakura Jan 21 2021 8:00 am Why it took me so long to watch this drama? I should have known sooner. This is so good. Its a horror drama but why am I enjoying it so much? Im so into it. It’s written very well. Bcs of this drama now Im rooting for Kim Jae Wook lol. Ive never seen any of his work but now im going to watch all of them.

maryann parker Jan 18 2021 5:47 am SPOILERS: Finished it last night and cried at the end - one of the best kdramas I have seen; I watched on Netflix and have so many more kdramas on my watch list. I never write reviews - that ending was perfect. Highly recommended. Loved the actor who played the priest; he was in Voice and what a different character he played in Voice. 10/10

Grace Jan 18 2021 2:46 am SPOILERS!!!!! - - - - So I never write reviews but this is the best drama I seen!! I was hooked from episode one! I was so worried one of main characters were gonna die:(( I’m so happy Choi was okay in the end! I cried when it turned out yoon was alive!!! I literally did not see it coming that the grandpa was park il do the whole time!!! I’m happy everyone is still alive!!!! I’m hoping the movie will be really good!! And hopefully a second season eventually!!! Also whenever I heard the ost somewhere I got emotional!!!! Excellent series 10/10!

whatwaswa Jan 14 2021 10:02 pm SPOILER:

episode 11 time stamp 41:56-42:18

I can't be the only one seeing the shadow behind her and expecting it to jump her and creeped out after realizing it was not part of the script;

helpebye

potata Jan 13 2021 7:57 am 8 episodes in and I'm in love with this drama's OST.

naol Jan 04 2021 2:38 pm is it only me or some one feel the script is sometimes stupid and look down the viewer?

Always the same happens, take an examle, where the taxi driver Yoon Hwa-Pyung attempted to kill the assembly woman (Park Hong-Joo), what an over-acted and stupid scene: he went to kill her, but instead threw the bag with a knife within in the floor, and ...talked to her, then get angry , turn back in the floor take the knife out the bag then the security camback ...wtf! Many stupid scene happens the same: the character just screamed, are slow in action scene, act strangely, have hot temper, think simple, have unnescessary doing... Its a typical failure in korea film: the film + actor always try to be cool at beginning then the way they screamed or are not sure at every thing show a weak script and acting skill. Scene /Sound/Screen are always top, but focus always in the wrong and unimportant thing.

Between the 3 main character the pilice woman always have one face expression from begin to the end

i watched korean film for more than 10 years but only some korean film dont do that failure. What a pity for such a good film idea like the guest

nini Jan 02 2021 2:19 am Beautifully scripted... sometimes gives vibes like "SIGNAL" drama. Highly recommended to those who love suspense, friendship, and psychological thrillers. Best Trio after "signal" drama

janram23 Dec 30 2020 9:19 am Love this drama! Watched this because of Kim Jae Wook and Kim Dong wook, I'm a fan since coffee prince. I Never thought that I would this drama coz I'm not fond of horror and thriller stories but the acting are great. The Director even mention that he and Jaewook came to Philippines to witness a actual exorcism.

GerBear Dec 29 2020 12:58 pm I loved it . I did not think it was predictable as one commenter said. I never post , but I felt it was so much better than some American horror stories. The actors were great , and I also loved the the comedic parts strewn throughout the series. I don’t know if this is common in Korean dramas or not but I think it added another dimension not seen in American dramas. Please keep making these type of series for Netflix , I couldn’t wait to see the next episode!!!

Kdramastan Dec 25 2020 2:09 am What a beautiful message sent out in the most terrifying , gory yet poignant way. Every scene was crucial, no ppl, beautiful locales and suspense isn't unveiled untill the last episode. All the actors were fantastic , Kim Jae Wook is beautiful and was the right choice for the role.

Me Dec 22 2020 3:48 am Waste of time!

Cinna Dec 14 2020 10:41 pm Can some please tell me the relationship between Yoon Gwak, the shaman and Yoon Hwangpyung? Are related or just very close...

Brian goh Dec 12 2020 7:54 am Predictable and un necessarily gorified

Panda Dec 11 2020 8:14 pm Is it just me or does anyone else find hwa pyung character is so annoying most of the times. Like i get that he wanna help people but he’s so reckless and overly hot tempered. Like damn he needs to take some chill pill

monke Dec 11 2020 12:10 pm i just realized... coffee prince reunion!

Paul Dec 08 2020 1:08 am Almost died of Alcohol Poisoning playing the drinking game "Take a shot everytime someone said "Park Il do""

Zarah Dec 07 2020 9:31 pm The best horror kdrama!

Rip Dec 07 2020 3:00 pm Take a shot everytime someone said "Park Il do"

Shienna Dec 06 2020 10:45 am I've never wrote a public comment about a Korean drama before. But this drama is just sooo good I have to tell people about this. As a lover of horror, thriller, and suspense genre this drama wasn't too scary or creepy for me. But this drama definitely worth to watch. If you still wonder whether to watch this or not you definitely need to watch this! One of the most heartbreaking yet heartwarming drama. The actors play their role passionately. And each of them have big and necessary role/story. Some plot holes but that's still okay.

Dennis R Dec 06 2020 6:31 am The best horror kdram I've watch.

Jhun Philippines Dec 06 2020 5:15 am The best horror kdrama... The best. Even the location so beautiful, evry member of the cast were gave their A1 performances, the story, the editing were also very good.... I hope more horror kdrama in 2021... Mabuhay... Esp the three main star and kim jae wook fr horror to romantic comedy her private life ...congrats to all stars and staff.

William Foos Dec 05 2020 10:25 pm Wow, this show was gripping it. One minute had me at the edge of my seat!!! The next minute laughing out loud! I was so glad I started watching it!!! Although subtitles dive me nuts watching and reading at the same time!!!

tika Dec 05 2020 2:45 am Lately i stop watched K-Drama since i think the story is so boring but this story hook me right from the epi 1. It is creep me out but i couldn't stop watch it. I like the relationship between Yoon, Choi, and Kang. The final episode when Priest Choi try to exorcism Yoon is a very cool scene. I was prepared for the worse ending but i am glad the writer give biggest hope for everyone at the end. Thank you so much for the story. Everyone that involved in this drama deserve applause.

kendz Dec 03 2020 9:23 pm Do you guys know who is the girl in episode 1 in the taxi ?

Beatriz Dec 02 2020 2:32 pm This is definitely one of my alltime favorites!!! Love this show!!! SO SCARY and good. Kim Jae Wook as the hot priest, we need more of you!

Mymy Dec 02 2020 4:26 am For me, this is one of the best drama i've ever watch!! The trio chemistry was so so so goooddd. Glad now its available on netflix. OCN is indeed the best in making creepy dramas

rein Dec 02 2020 1:26 am yes it was available in Netflix now

diwaiji Oct 31 2020 7:56 am still waiting for season 2..for anyone who are considering whether to watch this or not, please do yourself a favour and watch this drama..its a must watch!!

Kdrama hungry Sep 12 2020 6:19 am Hoping this drama will be in Netflix! :(

Seokjin bts Jul 29 2020 4:24 am Please available on Netflix!!

Celine Jun 23 2020 4:07 am Kim Dong Wook deserves recognition! His emotion and eyes acting is beyond amazing! Please cast him again

Duraivel May 15 2020 11:05 pm This was basically an great drama. It's crime-horror and the religious elements help give the movie a sort of psychological edge (but not in the way a traditional psychological movie would, it's more about playing to the fears of unknown that currently only be explained by religion). There are a lot of storylines running through the movie and it's complicated during the middle, but the movie gives enough answers clearly in the end. It's gory but it focuses on creative fear rather than just littering the movie with jumpscares.

I remember there being one plothole and a couple of unrealistic moments, but we're taking about a couple of unimportant scenes among several hours of episodes. It could have done with less rituals/prayers which were sometimes long and repetitive. I also felt that the last episode dragged on pointlessly though it picked up in the final third of the episode, and it left the drama on the possible cliffhanger giving viewers both closure and room for a new series. I wasn't really happy with the fact that they used priests in relation to mythology about traditional Korean animism, and they should have used animist shamans only.

Bruce Apr 19 2020 9:51 am I'm in loved with Kim Dong Wook

zuezoo Dec 16 2019 11:31 am The Best Drama Ever!!! It was kinda creepy but this drama somehow got a touching story line. All character portrayed their role really well! i love to see their chemistry tho. Love all 3 lead Kim Dongwook, Kim Jaewook and Jung Eunchae :)))) Recommended!! 10/10!

harley Dec 01 2019 5:19 pm the best horror/thriller drama I've ever watched. hoping for season 2 with the same cast. can't stop watching it from the first episode

Gina Nov 11 2019 2:25 pm I really liked this show especially park il doooooo! Lol

Zareen Tasneem Nov 06 2019 7:28 am i really love this drama... nd relly love kim jae woook

Nantalith Oct 20 2019 10:28 am @Ishara @Akavir

The trot song is by Lee Hwan - Spinning Around and Around ( Dolligo Dolligo ) - The Guest OST

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rqlOHvpegxE

Ishara Aug 19 2019 4:37 am Can any body tell me about the name of the trot song that Yoon Hwa-Pyung was hearing in the dream.

Sabnaamalia Aug 11 2019 11:37 pm I didn't expect it turned out that Kim Dong Wook and Kim Jae Wook had one drama before in the coffee prince drama at the time when Kim Dong Wook's face was so funny it didn't think it was him

Akavir Aug 04 2019 4:28 pm Really could do with more drama's like this one, very creepy and eerie, was a little annoyed about the ending but didnt really ruin it for me otherwise. Would definitely recommend watching this if you love creepy supernatural Kdrama's.

Also a stupid question to post here but, does anyone know the name of the song the taxi driver listends to in episode 3?

wengie Jun 14 2019 7:48 am This drama is so good and it saddened me that not many people loved this kind of genre and how amazing each actor portray their roles in this. The story is explained well and I personally loved the fact that it kept the viewers thinking about the next plot and I am always at the edge of the seat whenever there is a suspense scene.

I personally love horror, thriller and suspense genre and to be honest exorcism blended with crime investigation sounds really far fetched but they managed to make it to look like it is something acceptable to do in public. Exorcism in Catholic itself is a heavy subject and it is true that there are a lot of complicated procedure to follow, this I understood as a Catholic.

I really do not expect the drama to be this good though. I wish alot of people would just open their perspective wide to accept heavy and dark drama like this. I applaud Kim Jae Wook because he dares to challenge himself to take this role albeit being an atheist. He is a damn good, diligent and professional persona in his field.

Min Jun 10 2019 6:59 am Though I loved the fact that it was a happy ending for the 3 of them but Park Hong Joo got away scott free? Urgghh!!

susan Jun 03 2019 9:55 am Gizibi, my thought as well. Loved The Thorn Birds as well. His looks are like Chamberlain's sharp jaws. I hope this Kim Jae Wook will have more of the rom-com like Her Private Life. He is such a good lead rom com actor. Enough of the heavy dramas

gizibe May 22 2019 1:02 am Kim Jae Wook as a priest, gives me strong "The thorn birds" feelings :)

I wonder how many of you are old enough to know what I'm talking about

gizibe May 20 2019 3:40 am As an Irreligios, I find exorcism somehow funny. But I'm going to watch this for KJW and for the suspense :)

Yumi May 14 2019 9:14 am Right from the start of episode 1, it creeped me out. I am happy that they're going to remake (or is it an "after" or "before" Version?) the series into a movie. Love all the casts!!

@Nanoo May 11 2019 3:21 am As an avid horror fan, I'd say its scary factor is non existent. It's more of a mystery, supernatural crime drama than a true "horror". There's no jumpscares. It works on the ambiance of mystery instead.

Nanoo Apr 26 2019 9:47 pm I want to watch it for Kim Jae Wook but I'm scared... on a scale of 1 to 10, how scary is this drama?

Ja Apr 18 2019 11:11 am They are making a movie out of this???

L Apr 14 2019 7:16 pm This drama is literally amazing. I got chills down my spine and it held my attention until the end. The ending was great as well

Theint Apr 14 2019 10:41 am Season 2 please. I love it soooooo muchhhhhh best horror serie ever... love all 3 of them <3 Jung Eun-Chae is my fav... love their relationship between three friends

Iqra Apr 05 2019 11:36 am Best horror n thriller Drama Ever..wont be forgetting it anytime soon. Kim Jae Wook, Kim Dong Wook n Jung Eun Chae ❤️❤️❤️

Rann Mar 28 2019 12:14 pm Very much recommended! This is the best thriller drama ever! The chemistry and relationship of the 3 leads were very natural yet touching. Loved the 3 leads characters so much and the story are not boring at all (unlike most others kdrama so far). The most important thing, the 3 lead actors can act ! So this drama is so perfect, i cant wait for season 2!

cutieya Mar 19 2019 7:46 am Yayyayaayay....the movie is coming....hoping to see Kim Jaewook and Kim Dongwook again....^_^

Imaa Mar 18 2019 10:25 am Cant wait for the movie! They are going to act together again and with the same PD too ?

CKW Feb 18 2019 3:11 am It's Feb, where's the S2 announcement ;_;

Ore-sama Feb 09 2019 2:31 pm Hwa-Pyung, Choi Yoon, Yukgwang, Gil-Young, Detective Goh..love their bromance & bickering ?

Andra..❤ Jan 28 2019 6:52 am I'm from Nigeria and I watch every korean show and movie and guess what ? OCN never disappoints !!!!!!..You guys make the best thriller and horror movies..When I see a movie by OCN, I always anticipate .You guys rock.For real??❤❤

dou Jan 09 2019 8:34 pm season 2 please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amir Jan 02 2019 10:20 pm A really really good kdrama. Very creepy too. Way better than the English film 'The Nun (2018)'. A very satisfying ending, too. Superhero protagonist should look at these 3 leads's life whenever they want to brood about their suffering. haha. These three suffers, yet still stand steadfast in the face of Evil without becoming too emo.

But i do have to question the title. 'The Guest'? At least 'Sohn' sound better for foreigners like me. lol

Day Dec 31 2018 4:05 am Looks like Harry Potter in Korean version lol But overall it was a really good drama!!

Lola Dec 29 2018 3:06 pm This drama was amazing! I watched all episodes within two days. I was completely hooked.

I loved the chemistry between the characters. They worked together very well.

Aya Dec 15 2018 5:46 am This drama made me feel various emotions ?? Not that type of jumpscare in every scene but this is surely creepy and its story really got some sense! It teaches us a lesson in an unusual way that all humans indeed possess desires within theirselves that can turn them in something scary and it also shows that in times, we have friends we can rely on. I acutally can't believe that this drama can make me cry because of its horror genre but everything about Hwa Pyung is breaking my heart ?? kudos to the everyone who created this drama! Its really one of the best and unforgettable! Damn Park Il Do....that's gonna be the name which will always creep me out ?? and OMG Jung Eun Chae! Even though she acts really tough here.... she's really beautiful and when she cries...mah hart is breaking with her. I love the leads!

Mario Dec 13 2018 9:17 am Im really satisfied watching this till the end. The last episode makes me cry, what a precious message i got!!!

blablabla Dec 11 2018 9:38 am oh damn not sure how i feel about the last ep aka the ending............ just doenst feel too satsifying??? BUT no doubt the entire drama is a very good one. and def no regrets watching it!!

yeobosayo Dec 09 2018 9:49 am YASSSSSSSS finally finally found a drama that can satisfy my drama drought!!!! wanted to look for some light hearted romcom but look where i landed myself into. but no regrets for the handsome mateo and the really really engaging plot. youll not regret this!! (tho warning of gory scenes which i usually skip but sometimes it comes unexpectedly and i was so scarred lol)

Vivi Dec 08 2018 10:38 pm Season 2 please?

Deevya Dec 05 2018 11:38 am Creepiest drama till date but the most interesting drama too ♥️? you can't stop watching it right from episode 1.. it hooks you onto it!! Just loved it ♥️ highly recommended... Only if you have a strong heart to handle creepy scenes! Now that I have completed watching it.. #Goodbye Sleepless nights!

Neny Dec 03 2018 1:32 am This drama is one of the best drama I’ve watched. Although it’s creepy and I had to hold my breathe sometimes, but the relationship is real, some scenes really made me cry (and I rarely cry even when I watched other genres), the story is good, their acting is good, the make up is good. i love 3 main characters. Just love this drama. If you getting sick with drama,romance etc, just watch this

Neny Dec 02 2018 9:46 pm This drama is one of the best drama I’ve watched.. aaaarrrgghhh.. although it’s creepy and I had to hold my breathe sometimes, but the relationship is real, some scenes really made me cry (and I rarely cry even when I watched other genres), the story is good, their acting is good, the make up is good. i love 3 main characters. Just love this drama. If you getting sick with drama,romance etc, just watch this

Eda Dec 02 2018 5:08 pm This drama is perfect. Korean people really don't know what they should watch :D Kim Jaewook you are a blessing. Perfection I could just rewatch only for him. Definetly a must watch!

K_ Dec 02 2018 1:55 pm I still can't forget this drama thinking of it all the time

Noiha Nov 28 2018 6:44 pm I haven't watched a lot of K-Drama these days, but this is definitely one of the best I've watched. Kim Jaewook is great, but it's nothing surprising anymore. He's always that good and I love that he has chosen wide ranged roles, main character or side characters, and has consistently prove himself to be amazing. On the other hand, I'm happy to watch Jung Eunchae grows on screen. Not many people enjoyed Dr. Frost and drama-wise it wasn't the best drama esp compared to the amazing Webtoon. But Jung Eunchae was pretty good. I just hope she can explore more roles. Lastly, Kim Dongwook is just downright surprising. This is definitely his best acting project and I just hope that he got more and more interesting roles. Amazing. Just amazing.

Zellyn Nov 26 2018 1:00 am OMG! This is a reunited drama for Kim Dong-Wook & Kim Jae-Wook. I saw them both starred in "Coffee Prince" way back 2007 and I love them very much on how they portray their role up until now. Fighting :)

@san7 Nov 23 2018 1:54 am It's an OCN drama. OCN is a paid cable channel in contrast to KBS, MBC and SBS. OCN is even smaller than tvN. So the rating aggregrate is very high for an OCN drama. Final episode reached 4% in Nationwide AGB viewership rating share, which made it the 2nd most watched show that night. Remember cable TV shows rating aggregrate works differently to free networks.

Also do NOT forget, that this show did NOT air during prime time. It was a late night show (11pm slot). And the viewership during that time is significantly smaller compared to viewership during prime time. Also in recent time, these channels have been packaging 11pm slot shows with more and more ads, so the programs go for longer than necessary so usually they lose out viewers as the episode moves on. So a peak of 4% is a huge achievement for a cable channel 11pm slot show.

Madam S Nov 21 2018 10:20 am @San7 the ratings are considered high bcos it aired on pay TV which have smaller audiences compared to public/ free-to-air TV such as KBS, SBS, MBC etc.

By the way, the “coffee prince” actors reunited after a long time (Kim Jae wook & Kim Dong Wook). Love them!

san7 Nov 14 2018 7:32 am Wow this drama is underrated, I expected more ratings. I just finished watching it and its amazing Highly recommended guys

@EmiE Nov 11 2018 9:56 am Same. Kim Dong Wook has that special characteristic, it's hard to not like him. I first noticed it in Along with the Gods 1, then the Concubine and now this. Very charismatic actor. Hope he keeps doing lead roles, he really suits it.

hmmm? Nov 11 2018 3:00 am Hands down one of the best “deeper than friendship” story ever told!!!! The trio’s story from strangers to “more than blood” bond touched me in ways that made me cry a river and feel a twinge of pain in my heart...

I know this is horror/thriller but the human relationships factor of the story really stood out for me.... especially the trio’s relationship...

Awesome...Deabak...Flawless acting from Kim Dong Wook....note worthy were his scenes in the hospital when he’s talking to his sleeping grampa..and when he was possessed by PID in the sea..

Kim Jae Wook.... no words needed..I’ve praised him enough already lols..

Jung Eun Chae....i love her here!!! She rocked her role as a detective...she’s NOT the damsel in distress....she’s a Badass cop who kicked some serious butts!!!

The rest of the casts and crew....slow clap and standing ovation to you ???

I hope there’s gonna be a season 2 coz i crazily miss them...

EmiE Nov 08 2018 9:29 pm The first episode was so creepy I almost didn't continue but the 3 main cast had me giving it another try. After that I never missed a single hour. Kim Dong Wook really impressed me and he made me keep watching. The female lead Jung Eun-chae was perfect too and the of course Kim Jae Wook.

Kim Dong Wook really has something about him. I noticed it in Concubine and Maids. Very attractive guy he should keep acting more lead roles!!

DW Nov 08 2018 8:08 am What an incredibly tense and well acted drama. Loved every single episode of it, and it had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Kim Dong Wook was incredible, I think it's his best performance to date. He was the soul of the series. Without him I don't think it might've been as good as it was. KIm Jae Wook and Jung Eun Chae were the heart of the show on the other hand, they both complimented Kim Dong Wook so well. While the narration was very good, the performances of the cast especially the three lead is what made the show so good. I'm hoping for a S2 so badly now. I know some things been unresolved like Park Hong Joo, so S2 would be very appropriate. And my hopes are high because it's an OCN drama and OCN loves their sequel. Hope they'll update us about a sequel soon, and hope all the cast return. I cannot envision the show without its wonderful cast.

Highly recommended to ANYONE. It wasn't scary at all for me (I'm an avid horror movie fan, so nothing scares me anymore), but it might turn off some people who get easily scared though. 10/10

Meryem Nov 07 2018 2:50 pm Best drama ever ever I highly recommend it Am not even a fan of mystery and thriller at first I started it for my baby Kim Jae Wook but it totally trapped me xD The storyline and the acting were amazingly on point ✔

Cha Nov 07 2018 8:59 am Best Drama This 2018 For Me!!! From Save Me, I believe OCN will go far from creating horror-thriller dramas, and this drama is just..... amazing. Every episode is chilling.. I even cried in some episodes!!! Unbelievably dark and scary. You did a great job! I'll miss the bunch but never Sohn. Hoping for Season 2 though, we still have Park Hong Joo!

Molly Dash Nov 06 2018 7:49 pm Excellent Thriller Drama ... Four Thumbs Up for the Director and Scenario Writer

Pink Obsessed Nov 06 2018 5:12 pm Best drama of the year. The 3 leads acted amazingly well & the scenario and cinematography were the best too <3 I want season 2 !!! …but will I be able to handle my selfless babies to suffer again???

erikaseo Nov 06 2018 6:56 am Great drama! Highly recommended!! ??

Andie Nov 05 2018 12:04 pm Season two please! We want Park hong joo to fall down. But honestly, the end was very satisfying.

Hn Nov 04 2018 9:36 pm This drama kinda reminds me with supernatural, sam even having vision in some cases. It's a good drama though.

Sarah Nov 04 2018 8:43 am Please Season 2!!!! With the same actors <3 pleeease

blue Nov 04 2018 4:19 am super loved it !!! great cast and amazing drama. we appreciate your hardwork.

Any Nov 04 2018 3:21 am Masterpiece in my eyes

r31n Nov 04 2018 2:38 am Good movie very scary so far. But why my eye itchy now

RawHoney Nov 04 2018 12:54 am I think this is one of the best drama this year. The story is very interesting. The characters are very strong. I've been waiting for new episodes every week and sadly I had to part with it. I hope there will be more stories like this bcos there is no boring episodes even from the start to the last one.

fiona Nov 03 2018 9:00 pm 3 word to express this drama: creepy, thrilling, amazing

CKW Nov 03 2018 8:43 am What an entertaining drama. Prolly the best of 2018 so far. Loved the characters and their interaction. Has an open ending, so I'm very hopeful that there'll be a 2nd season some time in the future. It'd be brilliant.

Handtheguestfan Nov 03 2018 7:31 am So sad this drama is ending. Loved everything abt the drama. Hoping for a season 2. And god I couldn't believe who park I'll do actually was at the end!!!

scs Nov 03 2018 4:42 am hi. i liked this drama from the start and hoping for another season with the same actors.

like voice drama, it has potential and fans support for another season, its such a Pity if they abandon this good story.

Miro Bico Nov 03 2018 1:02 am This only proves that you don't need to have romance in the story to make it beautiful. This one is carefully written and brilliantly executed by the actors. I love every single episode. I wish to see more of this kind of drama, really tired of seeing cliché after cliché dramas. I'll give this a 10/10 rating for the every single character portrayal, especially the possessed characters and 9/10 for the storyline!

Heba Nov 02 2018 4:54 pm OMG this drama is something else , I love it and I wished that there is more epesiods , yon ha buyng ?? , Waiting for another season Creative in the idea, in the direction the production process by it self wss amazing

Alean Nov 02 2018 4:40 pm One of the greatest korean horror drama ever made. I'm usually really picky about what I watch but The Guest was really amazing and I have nothing bad to say about it. The actors, plot, mystery, soundtrack, everything was good. If you are a fan of horror, want something unique and like korean drama you should watch The Guest cause it won't disappoint you.

Aylar Nov 02 2018 4:18 pm I'm really upset by the end of this series, The unpredictable end surprised me more than ever before, the author had a special place in the film, And each dialogue between roles followed a piece of story without making you tired and discouraged, I hope this series will receive special awards

Aya Nov 02 2018 11:18 am I will wait for The Guest Season 2

Andu Nov 02 2018 9:51 am Wow! What I can say , a great drama.heartbreaking...everything is here... A round of applause to everyone who made this drama possible. You did all a great job! Thank you so much! Kamsahamnda!???? We hope there is sequel with the same main actors?

Zee Nov 02 2018 5:32 am I loved this drama!!! The End of episode 16 I love watching the cast and everyone that was part of the drama. It was an amazing drama. 10/10 Thumbs up to the crew and the actors!!!

Shreyash kumar Nov 02 2018 5:25 am I am from india and I can bet that I will never get an another tv series like The Guest........Man I loved everything about this show...the acting ,the direction, the camera work, the plot...everything......I am so sad that this show is in its last.........man..I love you OCN

Raxxx Nov 02 2018 4:58 am I hope kim dong wook can get an award for this drama. Good job to the team for making this drama!!! We all enjoy your hard work!!!

MR CRITIC Nov 02 2018 4:48 am The is story is very good. I do not expect this drama to be this good. the mystery who is Park ill do is very well play. I will rate this drama 9/10 1 more point the show do not get because of 2 plot hole.

Recommended To Watch (Do Not Watch At Night) by mr.critic

Vrjo Nov 02 2018 2:55 am one of the best kdrama... Love all 3 leads...

Minako Nov 02 2018 2:52 am Hidden boys love between Hwa Pyung and Mateo ?

Amira Flores Nov 02 2018 2:45 am OCN is getting really good! Congratulations to the writers! The writing is solid, and the story indeed touches on one reality that all darkness starts in the human heart. But there is always a solution, a light which may be in a form of religion, belief in a higher being, and/or trust and love for another human being. Congratulations to the actors too. The friendship of the three is palpable. There is no annoying budding romance resulting in a love triangle, whatsoever. Who needs one when the antagonist is as powerful as Park Il Do? :) :) :) But of course not as powerful as the belief for one's ability to resist evil and love one's family members and friends.

I seldom watch scary Kdrama, but this one - for me is one for the books. Hence, you should watch it too. :)

Antique Nov 01 2018 9:31 pm watching drama but feels like i watching a Movie, Damn !!! Two thumbs up.

Thwe Nov 01 2018 1:47 pm This drama is great. I watch this coz of Kim Jae Uck but I like the actress and the bromance between two Kims. Hoping to see more.

exo_chanbaek Nov 01 2018 2:13 am I swear I love this drama. It's just so sad that most of OCN's dramas don't get the attention they deserve by the korean public. Everything about The Guest is nearly perfect; the plotting of the story, the phenomenal acting by the possessed people and the main cast with the goosebumps of a lifetime!

Highly recommended!

Noriy Oct 29 2018 6:31 pm Thumbs Up! For this Drama...watching at 1st due to Kim Jae Wook...but now luv the 3 leads...Good chemistry...

CJU Oct 29 2018 9:04 am Emily// I am a South Korean man. This drama is just fictional. There is no urban legend related to it.

But, so many legends of spirits with a grudge exist, and Mudang(Korean shaman) is believed that he(or she) can pacify spirits.

Many Koreans think that child of Mudang family may be a Mudang in the future. In this drama, Yoon Hwa-Pyung is a candidate of Mudang, as his ancestors, but don't have formal qualifications.

Mg Oct 28 2018 11:31 am Amazing drama.no time for boring .kim jae wook's acting is great.

Misha Oct 28 2018 7:20 am OCN never disappointed me. This is one of the best one yet! The chemistry of the three leads is awesome. The storyline is awesome. I watch the trailer because of Kim jae wook, didn't know its gonna be this good. Hopefully they survive till the end and end park il do.

debi24 Oct 27 2018 11:28 am great drama.the b e s t , love all the cast, anyone feel the bromance between Yoon Hwa-Pyungand Choi Yoon (mateo)? cant wait for the next ep..

fitri Oct 27 2018 5:18 am The Guest------ Everybody Put your hands up ?????????????????????????????????

yulie Oct 26 2018 8:35 pm 10 thumbs up...... D . A . E . B . A . K !!!!!!

Rider Oct 26 2018 8:32 am My second adventure into the Korean horror genre - other than Train to Busan. After so many of the usual Kdramas, I was looking for something different - and I like it - a detective crime, horror, murder mystery - it makes you think.

As usual, the actors are good, the photography excellent, the special effects dated but reasonable for the story, the director and pacing good - and the characters neglecting to tell the other characters their little secrets at the right moment.

But the suspense just dragged me right into the story. Can't wait to see the remaining episodes.

Love you kim jae wook Oct 26 2018 7:18 am The best drama, you guys must watch this. Rate 10/10

tim Oct 24 2018 7:59 pm ah ha priest yang is park II do, his soul is already corrupted for a long time and he got possessed at the same time with priest choi and he probably surrender both body ad soul to the devil park II do, a total possession thats why he can go to church and such but he doesn't read the Bible, he has been playing the role of a priest in disguise so nobody suspect him. he probably will be on the run since he is already discovered so can't play the role of a good priest no more, four more episodes, can't wait. Look like we will have another horror drama from OCN, so "priest" will take over after "the player", instead of priest +detective + taxi driver, the new show would be priests + doctor, both shows kind of remind me of "the exorcist", looks like horror is the new thing now.

Emily Oct 24 2018 5:01 pm Do any of you guys know if this is based off an urban legend in South Korea or if this is purely fictional with no historical context?

Chasing Cars Oct 23 2018 11:45 pm What a good show. Loving every moment of it so far. I like the chemistry between the three leads so much.

caca Oct 22 2018 12:31 am i never can sleep at night after watch the drama. it was like i could see park ii do when my eyes closed. so scary but i cajt stop watching this drama. i really like the story and i cant stop thinking WHO IS PARK II DO! waiting for ep 13~❤️

JokerJay Oct 20 2018 11:15 am Matteo is Park II Do

Shadow Oct 20 2018 8:15 am Park II Do is operating through Hong Joo. I believe the call she made towards the end of episode 12 where she said she needs to take care of something makes it clearer. It was after that call that someone's shadow walked into Kil Young senior's hospital room and possessed him so that he will kill Kil Young. If they can successfully exorcise Detective Ko by next episode he will tell us who is Park II Do and I think it's going to be Hong Joo.

Ahn nae sang Oct 19 2018 5:26 pm From the get go it is soooo evident that's Ahn nae sang is park il do. Writers have to give a better twist than that.

ahn nae sang Oct 19 2018 5:05 pm Yup ahn nae sang is park il do, from the ep -2 thats what I feel like. and if authors end up concluding so, as well then meh. Every hint is being given away that he is but the 3 leads suspect everyone except him,

Anna Man Oct 19 2018 8:06 am Park il do is the grandfather.. the body has to die in order to transfer his spirit into HP body.. it was grandpa that call HP father from the church.. grandpa has been raising HP well because he wants the body after the lady shaman seal wears off Park il do has instruct congresswoman to meet priest yang so that they will suspect priest yang.. dont you feel weird congresswoman wait a few seconds before proceeding towards the tunnel? Seems she knows shes been followed by the policewoman..

Kim Jae Wook fan Oct 19 2018 3:16 am It is becoming more clearer now that Priest Yang could be Park II Do.

Caty Oct 18 2018 8:52 pm @Jae i also think the same.. The spirits has probably lied and just trying to stop yun hwa pyung.. I think in the end there will be 1 on 1 fighting between yhp and park il do

tim Oct 18 2018 8:31 pm now I'm sure park II do is priest kang, he was possessed the first time he met Pyung, his mind is already corrupted a long time a go for him to get possessed. After seeing the congresswoman got chicken out and went to see priest kang. park II do took over his body and soul thats why he can go to church like a normal person, when Pyung was young and being possessed by park II do and the hold point of park II do trying to possess Pyung because of his power to see ghost but his family performed an exorcism which suppressed his power so park II do left his body and possessed priest kang, he then lying in wait for the day that Pyung regain his power to see ghost and plans to possess Pyung again, park II do targeted Pyung all this time.

emma Oct 18 2018 6:59 pm I think that park il do is priest yang, and he was waiting for the spell that the chaman did to hwa pyung to go back to his body. but it's kind of hard for him to that when mateo and that cop is arround; that' why he's trying to get rid of them. he want to kill the cop and make mateo weak so he can't send him back to hell.

Jae Oct 18 2018 10:54 am If Park Il Do is inside Yoon Hwa Pyung or trying to possess him, the spirits won't try to kill him. They try to make YHP stop chasing after Park Il Do, maybe because he has the power to stop him. Saying that everyone around him will die, maybe to make others leave him. Because they can be the key for YHP to release his power. Well, just my guess.

tim Oct 17 2018 9:30 pm this is getting complicated, but in a good way, make me wonder who the real park II do, one thing for sure is that park II do and the congresswoman are blood related, so park II do is her great uncle, and he has been helping her probably because they are the same, they have the same personality and both are killers. If park II do is Yoon Hwa-Pyung all along then that would be the biggest twist in this drama, with him seeing things whenever someone being possessed made me wonder if he really is park II do and park II do has been inside of him since he was young which allow pyung to see what actually happening when someone being possess. can't wait for next episode, I need to know what is happening. I don't thing there will be any romance between the three characters and hope there won't be any, a drama can be good without any romance and this one should be a non-romance drama.

Momo Oct 14 2018 3:05 am This story give me a creeps everytime..whos park il do actually?perhaps his grandpa

Angel Oct 13 2018 12:48 am Out of all the ongoing shows, I felt Guest is the amazing drama, with horror genre! I'm completed hooked with this drama! I'm currently watching the smile left behind your eyes following with the beauty inside, but I vote 10/10 for guest since it doesn't make you bored at any scene, you will try to anticipate what's next! I already came to know about the spoiler in the smile left behind your eyes, and it's completely sad and bitter truth, I want to discontinue but I couldn't! Let's hope atleast the script of ending would be different from Japanese version and the beauty inside is also one amazing drama! You'll completely fall in love with that drama! But most of all, I loveddddd The Guest! Waiting for next episodes!

Janhvi Oct 12 2018 10:23 am This is one my fav drama for sure...Everything I luv about this drama...

jae Oct 11 2018 12:35 am @diaxx wow you guess it correctly.

Chuscho Oct 10 2018 5:20 am Is therw any chance of a little romance bwtween matteo and gil young? Soory for being delusional

diaxx Oct 09 2018 11:38 pm Whoo!! This drama is really awesome! They’re so many suspects…who really Park II Do is? That congresswoman has a mean personality. I think she is related to Park II Do. Then, Priest Yang who has a connection with the congresswoman, and said about a total possession-that once possessed in a long time, you can live a normal life. What if he is hiding his true colors? And in the end, become possessed by the evil spirit—Park II Do. Or they have been searching for Park II Do the whole time, then turns out that it is Hwa-Pyung himself. So many twist…and I love how twisted the story is :D OCN never failed to surprised me or the viewers—great story plot.

Becky Oct 05 2018 10:57 pm that priest is ma dehdy. :P

Andre Oct 05 2018 12:20 pm 10/10 for thriller-horror Kdrama fans ;)

Andre Oct 05 2018 12:16 pm Ommo, im curious about Park II Do possesed who? I think the twist is PRIEST YANG!! I know OCN always make plot twist about the real murderer bcause The Tunnel make Doctor as Suspect murderer!! Great job OCN !! Pls watch this drama why people always love drama about romance. This thriller-horror drama makes you thinking like detective!!

Huali Oct 04 2018 9:31 pm Awesome!!! This is the best among all the dramas that are airing at the same time now for me. It is the first drama that makes me forget to breath while watching. To me, i’ll rate it 10/10.

tim Oct 03 2018 11:09 pm well after watching episode 7 I believe that both priest yang and the congresswoman are with sketchy, by theory if the congresswoman is park ii do then she was possessed after she killed the girls and buried tho body, that is when she met priest Choi's older brother and being possessed during that time, so she wasn't possessed before because priest Choi's bother is being possessed at he time, so when she killed the girl she wasn't possessed by park ii do, then how come the school guard saw park ii do at that time. since she has an evil personality so she can be possessed by other evil spirits or she made a deal the the evil park ii do. priest yang is another candidate for park ii do possession, he seem very fishy, according to what he said, when a body is possessed completely which mean the devil took control over the body and the soul, in cases like that the person who was fully possessed can go to church and so on, so if he was possessed completely then he can still function normally and live normal without being suspect. even though park ii do can possesses many people but he will always go back to the body that most compatible to him and the one he has total control. I think I like Choi Yoon the most in this drama because he always so calm and rational, while Yoon Hwa-Pyung and king kil-young are hot tempered so sometimes these to can get on my nerves, the fact that he came to see the congresswoman with a knife and intended to kill her with a bunch of bodyguards around show how hot tempered he is, he has no plan and doesn't think it through at all. they are dealing with evil spirit and a politician at that, so they need to plan through and through and execute it wisely.

song mojiri Oct 02 2018 2:25 am I hope the last episode make me jumpscare

Bali Sep 30 2018 10:26 pm Does anyone know the songs that appear in the series ??

Bad Samaritan and the Bone Marrow of Secrets. Sep 30 2018 1:57 am “Hand: The Guest”, a witty and well-crafted love letter to horror tropes, is a barnstormer of an entertainment, a fairground ride with dodgy brakes.

Underneath the entertaining horror, this is ultimately a story of the toxic trappings of masculinity; a world in which keeping a stiff upper lip and resolutely burying your demons can summon the most terrifying of consequences.

This world is weirdly familiar and yet alien. It’s also darn scary, bone-chillingly told and beautifully made.

Emma Sep 28 2018 7:01 pm I highly recommend this drama, you won't regret watching it.

Ginger Crunch Sep 28 2018 2:53 am Whoa! Epic n just the best drama going right now! Episode 6 was gut wrenching and this drama keeps layering the suspense and intensity; every minute without a moments pause. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to remember to keep breathing whilst watching. Jung Eun Chae is nailing her character as far as I’m concerned and I don’t see ‘cute’ in her characterisation at all. She’s just very hardened and stoic in nature and I empathise with her. In fact I got a tad bit emotional and she’d a few tears in the flashbacks so she must be doing something right to move me emotionally. Kim Jae Wook and Kim Dong Wook compliment each other in their acting styles so yep this is working out so well it’s getting better each episode. Special mention to all the ‘possessed’ actors I’m seriously freaking out watching them and when Kim Dong Wook says ‘Don’t look at their eyes!’ I listen and follow suit. OCN you did it again! Well done on scoring The Guest!

pepper Sep 27 2018 8:31 pm remember in episode 4, when hwa pyung didn't realize that a guy being possessed.. Park Il do said the guy allowed being possessed.. and i think Priest Yang is a heir of Park Il Do..

Kimb Sep 27 2018 7:43 pm Does anyone knows the song in episode 6 at +/- 40:40 - 43:10?

Delvi Sep 27 2018 10:33 am @tim i have the same thought as u. At first i think it was just coincidence but if u look at the possessed dad at the first eps and the man from repair shop they all have the books of the priest yang. Since the first eps they have mentiones that there must be a media which make them possessed

tim Sep 26 2018 9:34 pm something is very fishy about that priest yang's organization, whoever involved with his church got possessed, I'm sure the politician lady is possessed too, the man in the wheelchair and the girl in episode 5, they are all members of his church (the helping hands), i think priest yang is possessed by park II do, also priest Choi's body is buried under ground even though he committed suicide, someone must have buried him after he died, I think that priest yang got possessed and buried choi. Park II do is not the only evil spirit possessing people but there are more, the one that got possess by park II do always drink a lot of water, but the one got possess by other evil spirits don't drink water, it's like those evil spirits are park II do underling. I do agree with mimoo that the character kang kil young doesn't suite Jung eun chae, just my personal feeling, wonder how its turn out if it is a male character instead of female, she is a very good actress, its just the role doesn't suite her.

mimoo Sep 25 2018 10:22 pm i love the drama, but i personally think that jung eun chae doesnt suit the character, she is too cute to be fierce.

Marny Rich769 Sep 25 2018 9:47 pm So daebakk! ..it just make me always cant wait for the next episode. Staying in the village now while watching the KDRAMA especially produced by OCN is really make me relax and chillaxx..SarangHae from Kudat, Sabah. North Borneo gaiss.

Do kang woo Sep 24 2018 7:12 am I really like drama from ocn. And I recommend this drama❤️❤️❤️??????

PANDORA Sep 23 2018 3:23 pm @The Wicked Wizard of the Worst comment below: PERFECTLY SAID. Couldn't have expressed the intelligence of this drama better! Side Note: Kim Jae-Wook was made for horror shows, he has such unique features that sets his apart from other actors. He was beyond amazing in Voice and now this! Can't get enough of this guy *heart eyes*

The Wicked Wizard of the Worst. Sep 22 2018 3:06 pm The Guest is a professional jitters-fest, made with deep-seated esteem for the genre rather than cynicism about the ratings sure thing.

Here, Kim Hong-Sun plays with both lighting, composition and suspense, framing shots in such a way that we’re constantly searching the shadows for hints of movement, while drawing out scenes for maximum tension.

If anything can happen (and, trust me, it does), then there’s never a way of predicting where the next scare will come from. And for a genre that oftentimes feels threadbare and hopelessly predictable, this cannot be commended enough.

If some light deja vu is the price horror fans must pay for a mainstream offering this spine-tingling, most will still come away feeling spooked and satisfied.

ddaixx Sep 21 2018 8:17 pm OCN produced a really great drama! While watching, it gives me chill, creeping me out! It is not your ordinary horror drama, combined with a psychic, an exorcist priest and a detective…and of course the possessed characters. They are really great! If you love this kind of drama, start watching and be “exorcised” (^^)

TJ Sep 21 2018 2:20 pm So good!!!!! Finally a real scary kdrama. I love the sound effects and the acting is great. Keep it up!!

may Sep 21 2018 8:43 am seriously amazing , its creepy and scary , dont watch at night !

Itil Sep 19 2018 8:18 pm Daebak

Misha Sep 19 2018 8:25 am Loved the first two episodes!!! I'm a fan of horror genre, and horror fans out there shouldn't miss this! It is must watch! Both the episodes were super interesting, waiting for the next episode(this is the reason why I don't like to watch ongoing episodes, I'll die with suspense ?

Sf Sep 17 2018 9:20 am This drama is so great Cant wait for each episode

The cast acting so real!

Jac Sep 16 2018 10:33 pm @wayer I agree with you September must be the spooky months because all of the horror dramas..I'm currently watching all the 3 dramas..Lovely Horribly,The Ghost Detective and this drama The Guest..and this drama is the top of all three..it's way too horror and dark..if you don't a have a strong heart please don't watch this during the night..btw OCN dramas never disappoint ..from The Voice 1&2,Black,Tunnel and many more..

Miro Bico Sep 16 2018 1:31 pm The Guest makes other kdrama horror inspired, a big joke! This is the real thing, not your typical half-baked horror drama. Everyone in this drama are doing an excellent job especially the "possessed" actors. Highly recommended!!!

Nayeil Sep 15 2018 6:09 pm Such a good story, about a powerful demons with only have one eyes.. we called “dajjal”..manipulate people with he power,great storyline OCN,OCN never been disappointed chanel to follow..

Wayer Sep 15 2018 12:32 am August and September must be the spooky months! Lovely Horribly, Ghost Detective and now The Guest. Muchos horror.. and Kim Jae Wook is back!

Ginger Crunch Sep 14 2018 10:00 pm Sheer Brilliance!!! You know when a K drama has you hooked especially when it’s on OCN and for an hour you’re unable to breathe until the credits roll. There is nothing to find fault with and it ain’t for the faint hearted. From the main cast to supporting actors this is why ‘The Guest’ is the pen ultimate horror/thriller/mystery drama that is leading the way - sorry to ‘Lovely Horibly’ and ‘The Ghost Detective’ but OCN ‘The Guest’ is where it’s at. Enjoy ?

Jenlovesyoo Sep 14 2018 3:54 pm Awesome drama! Though it brought me chills down the spine! Haha But nevertheless it’s a very good start! We’ll keep following these one!

kona Sep 14 2018 8:53 am Great and from main and supporting cast...there's no time to rest watching from early ep...look forward for next eps and duel with park il do!!

Kim Jae Wook fan Sep 14 2018 7:28 am Daebak, amazing, awesome, fantastic and will definitely go down as one of 2018's best drama. Kim Jae Wook never disappoints. He always brings his A-game in any drama.

Kim Jae Wool fan Sep 14 2018 7:16 am One word for this drama, AMAZING!

Aaa Sep 14 2018 5:57 am Nice story Line

yhn Sep 14 2018 2:46 am 2 thumbs for this drama ??????

Haz Sep 14 2018 2:04 am Just watched the episode 1 & 2, now I can't wait for the following episodes!!! It's damn good & interesting to see different religion does exorcism. For once I thought I was watching a movie because the storyline, special effects, sound effects etc: is different from the usual supernatural/horror dramas. GREAT WORK to the cast & crew of Hand:The Guest!

tim Sep 13 2018 9:51 pm look like this one is good, OCN never disappointed, this is just too creepy, kind of like the exorcist Korean style, still good though. This is bad for the heart watching at 2 in the morning, guys don't watch this too late into the night, won't be able to sleep. this is so thrilling right now that I just can't wait for next week, I want episode 3 now. I think this is the scariest drama from OCN so far, save me is more like a cult kind of drama but this one is just straight out horror, for though who don't like horror, this is not for you, if you couldn't get pass save me then this will be tough since it is much scarier, but give it a try, I like it.

jaeucks Sep 13 2018 3:38 pm park il do literally looks like choi hongman .. that little clip in ep 2 58~ minute in

Yui Sep 13 2018 11:44 am Omg, just finished the first episode, and i must say, it's hella scary! Still, the cinematography's really good! Can't wait for more episodes!

Ratu Sep 13 2018 10:42 am Ocn top drama

caspercholic Sep 13 2018 7:30 am Had watched 1st episode (even though i did thought about drop in the middle,but however forced myself to finish....)....story so far great, but scary...if you're fans of ghost story or exorcism story...probably can suggest you to watch.

Dddddddd Sep 13 2018 3:55 am I watch this drama but this one is too scary. I can't even finished the first episode ._.

Shuu Sep 07 2018 12:18 pm Cant wait

Michelle Sep 02 2018 7:32 pm I see Kim Jae-Wook's name in a drama..I'm in. No questions ask! lmao! Excited for this one! yahoooo!

Kdrama-fan Aug 25 2018 4:45 pm Typical OCN Drama. Dark, Mysterious, Gritty. Sometimes I cant finish this type of drama, just like children of Lesser God, Save Me. But I will try this one.

Grace Jun 16 2018 12:08 am Kim Jae Wook as the priest! Daebakk... Can not imagine it..... Remind me to his role as Mo Tae Goo in Voice....... Well, in the synopsis, He also do not potray priest in usual life... So, I cant wait to see him in this drama. And the other 2 cast too... Cant wait too see their performance, since last drama of Jung EunChae is elegant lad in Return, cant wait for her performance as detective . Kim Dongwook , I think He can pull any role so well..... Kinda scary too see him in Along with the Gods.. But, cant wait to see his performance here too :)

... Jun 12 2018 5:29 pm cant waittt ❤ fighting jaewook oppa!
