Son: The Guest

Other than the fact that this is not your typical K-drama, the Guest is not your typical drama either. Every episode of it will leave you on your seats, wanting more, making this one of those amusement park rides you don't want to let go of. The acting, directing and story are all woven together from end to the finish. Watch this masterpiece because it is completely worth it.

This show was all around a great watch. The horror elements were very well done - I found the first half of the show to be very scary and creepy. The soundtrack is excellent and along with very good cinematography this is a well-crafted horror drama that was compelling and held my interest to the very end. In addition there was very good acting, and a satisfying ending that made sense, tied everything together, and was deserved. I would definitely recommend this to any horror/thriller fans!

I usually avoid horror, so I missed this one when it first came out. Then it popped up on Netflix this month, and because of being confined during COVID like millions, I decided to try it. The entire cast is wonderful, the writing and direction superb. And yes it's scary in places but also deeply moving in the building of relationships, and a young person becoming what he was meant to be. However, I did think this could have been done well in 12-14 eps as the last ones felt repetitive and draggy. But I liked the series very much.

Best drama I've ever seen in my whole entire life !! And this is also the first korean drama that made me rate and review it on IMDB!

OCN produced a modern horror classic in 'The Guest'. High production value, solid storytelling, memorable acting and a unique blend of Korean shamanism & Catholic tradition. The pilot episode (ep.1) is arguably the most perfect pilot episode in Kdrama history. The tension in the story builds up and up and reaches a satisfying climax and conclusion. Recommended.
