Very little recapping every episode and at least it was interesting to watch. Kudos to the cast one thing about Korean series/films is that they really give you awesome "evil characters and bad people". Call me partial but Jo Min-Soo is the sexiest shamaness who can contol me anytime!

Admittedly I've only watched the first 6 episodes, but I'm really enjoying the story up to now. I can see the similarities to Death Note as another reviewer mentioned, but I was reminded of the old movie 'Curse of the Demon' based on the story Casting of the Runes by M.R. James. Our decent heroes stumble upon a strange world of witchcraft where they need to get up to speed on the rules of the game pretty quickly before some truly nasty villains catch up with them and do them harm. I'm relatively new to Korean dramas, but if you enjoy tales well told (and who doesn't) then give them a try. The stories tend to be more fantastic and melodramatic than their western counterparts, but I enjoy thriller/mystery/fantasy shows so I'm all in. Acting is as good if not better than in western shows and the writing in the shows I've watched so far (Dr. Prisoner and Signal) is well above the usual standard I've grown accustomed to. Perhaps they have trouble spotting the landing and getting the ending of the final episode of their shows to be as satisfying as I'd like them to be, but I'm so busy enjoying the journey that if the ending doesn't quite hit the bullseye then it's there or thereabouts and I'm entertained enough to search for my next Korean show to sample.

I love watching foreign tv series and movies. Such a different take from American cinema. The Cursed has all the elements for a horror suspense fan along with the drama and fantasy. It has the right balance of all genre's listed. The concept reminds me of the popular anime Death Note but there are clear differences. First one, its not an anime. This is a binge series to enjoy. Please watch.

Okay this is tv right so your not getting the Godfather i gave it a 9 because they did about all you can do on TV,the acting is perfect and script better than average a nice steady pace, this isnt a silly romcom people get killed Doesnt matter if you believe in the spiritual aspect of this 90% of Asians do.

The story involves a demonically possessed CEO of an internet company called Forest who plans to go public and when the company does many lives will be lost. Out to thwart his plan is an investigative journalist and a Shamans daughter who's mother was killed because of the CEO. It is a well acted and the story is intriguing but the long rituals and slow pace takes the edge of it for me. To be honest it is a little too dark for my liking and would have faired better as a movie, but if you enjoy light horror this is a well executed story.
