    what i think...

    This show is amazing, I think people are hell-bound on the religious aspect of it. This show portrays the morality and philosphical ways of man explored in the concept of fear. I personally enjoyed it, to the extent it got me questioning life. The show uses religion as a factor which could be subtitiuted with anything else, but because there are people out there who still have faith of high begin it has a impact on them. The show develops quite late but express a need of change within society.

    Pretty Good but hard to get in first few couple of episodes

    I watched this over a few weekends. I was lost as to what was going on until the final 2 episodes. If you stopped after a couple of episode you will not the final understanding of what is really happing to these people being "demonstrated". Even at the end of the series you still wonder what's really happening. I like the series because it is really making me think about religion, doctrine and how it is used and how it can be used to control people.

    Slow start but oh my god!

    Firstly, people who have posted there reviews without watching the whole of first season please...just...

    Sit through the first episode and you will end up binge watching till the end. The first two episodes had there moments but they were necessary to set the universe and timeline in order for the people to understand whats about to happen.

    Overall the acting of all of the people was great and so many questions were left unanswered (in a good way) that i can't actually wait for the next season.

    Warning: The dubbed version is not correct

    Do not watch the dubbed version, it is very bad and does not follow the Korean version. Watch the subtitles and it's a much better series, with much more emphasis on what it is trying to show.

    Food for thought

    The story is about broadening your outlook about things that can't be explained scientifically and considered supernatural. Instead of labelling every supernatural event as an act of God or an act of cleansing the sins of humans ,we should consider alternate versions as well , instead of suppressing the voice of people who try to decipher it. Asking questions doesn't make anyone against any religion . The story is about not having blind faith in the name of God .
