Is it the demons we should be afraid of, or are humans the scariest of all?

First things first, TW's for explicit gore (even though they blur it out, it is pretty aggressive), excessive violence, and other dark elements.

This is the dark tale of a demon who is determined to wreak havoc on the world and the three people who fight him with everything they have. They say Sohn comes from the East Sea, and he comes to prey on those who have fears or anger living inside them. By the hand of fate, three children's lives intertwine through Park II Do (Sohn) after he kills their parents/loved ones. They all meet again when they get older and come together to hunt down and eradicate Park II Do who has been hiding the whole time. We follow along on their exorcisms and dangerous mishaps. There is plenty of mystery to go around, and they basically run circles around who the true culprit is. I was quite impressed with how well the story continued to lead bread crumbs while keeping me on my toes to the very end.

The acting is very on point. I cringed, cried, and cheered our good guys on. Everything was believable right down to the demonic possession and the desperation in our main characters. There is no romance, but there wasn't any room for it in the plot and the chemistry between the three mains stands out wonderfully. I think the only thing I would critique about The Guest would be how lengthy it was. I'm not sure if it was all the dark elements with barely any reprieve, but it did feel a little long for my liking. It was to build suspense, which it did well, but I think it could have been shortened a little bit along the way. However, it hit the nail on the head for the horror, thriller, and mystery storyline so I'm not too hung up on it. The OST is hauntingly beautiful and I suggest checking it out even if this drama doesn't seem like your cup of tea.

All in all, a good drama and well worth the watch. I would recommend if you're looking for something with dark, serious, and rewarding content.
