Yoon Hwa Pyung, a young psychic born into a shaman family, learns about the powerful demon called Son (Guest). The demon has the power to control other demons and allows them to possess weak people. The possessed people then go mad, kill their families, and stab themselves in the eye. Fatefully, Hwa Pyung, Choi Yoon; a young boy born in a religious Catholic family, and Kang Kil Yeong; the daughter of a detective, meet when their families are killed by a demon. Twenty years later, the demon killings started again. Hwa Pyung is now a taxi driver who uses his power to seek out possessed people in order to help them, while Yoon is a Catholic priest who is talented in exorcism, and Kil Yeong is a detective who doesn't believe in ghosts. The trio meets again and tries to work together to defeat Son. (Source: ) Edit Translation
The drama features many themes and at first I was curious if they would be able to make me believe this world where ghosts exist. I was deeply immersed in the story and the world it built. The drama did a good job at establishing this world and had enough details and information to make the supernatural elements feel real and believable.
The mystery kept me on my edge till the end and the performances of the actors felt fitted to their roles. Kim Dong Wook proved himself as a good actor in other works before and his and the other's acting felt good and compelling. It's not easy to act something that doesn't have a real reference in life.
Son: The Guest (tv Series 2018)
Those characters were humans with all their flaws and mistake and while one might judge some of their choices, this makes the characters feel more human in the end. The budding friendship and the bond of the three main characters was nice to watch and I'm so glad they drama stayed true to the characters by not forcing a conventional drama love line into it.
One of the reason that made this drama so good is also the music that contributed to the eery atmosphere and also gave a conflicted feeling of desperate and also hope at the same time. The songs were not overused and I never got tired of hearing them.
The drama was great and I would consider rewatching it in the future to let the story unfold in front of my eyes once again.

I had no idea about what The Guest was about, it wasn't really on my radar, when I started watching it. Now, it is one of my fav shows of 2018.
The Guest is unlike any kdrama I've ever seen before. It's bloody and dark and overall just a really good horror show. They really went all out there with the horror sometimes and it was great. The story, way it was shot, the actors, and the music also worked so well together. Overall it was just a really fun drama to watch.
Many people found it difficult to watch because of the horror that was on display. I am very fond of this kind horror, with ghosts and demons and stuff, so I was kind of in my element. I switched off the lights and turned some candles on before (almost) every episode. I had a great time watching it.
The Secret Romantic Guesthouse
The story was for the most part very well put together. It started of very strong (and because of that some of the following episodes felt a bit weaker in comparison), but there were a lot of interesting twists and turns in there and some really fun characters. The begrudging collaboration between the three main characters that, along the way, turned into some beautiful friendship was awesome.
Often when you thought you knew what was going on, or what was going to happen, the drama managed to twist it just a little bit. There were a few times when a episode ended and I just sat there watching the credits and just going; oh, shit.
Some episode were a bit slower than other and sometimes those episodes felt like they were more fillers, especially towards the middle and right before the final episodes rolled around. But you also needed to slow things down from time to time and not have it all action. But there were also episodes were everything just clicked together and everything had a nice pace to it. The drama isn't perfect. No drama is.

There was a time where I felt like we were a bit stuck running around in circles, where there was almost the 'possession of the weak' going on and a lot of the same turns of events were happening and some parts felt a little repetitive, but we were still gathering a lot of new information’s and clues while running around those circles, so I did not mind it too much.
I don't know if I will ever watch a kdrama quite like The Guest again. It felt like a unique viewing experience, even if the themes of exorcism and all of that aren’t new to horror movies or shows. I felt the Guest kind of tried to make it their own. For me it was something new and fresh compared to other kdramas. And I shall miss watching it.THE GUEST is a new Netflix horror series from South Korea with a first episode that should get you hooked. It’s just over one hour long and while the first twenty minutes might seem a bit slow, it definitely picks up after that. Read our full The Guest Season 1 review here!
Is a new Netflix horror series from South Korea. The very beginning of the first episode might seem a bit strange with a lot of characters introduced along with Sharmans and superstition being at the forefront. However, stick around because it does pick up its pace.
The Guest: Season 1
Around 20 minutes in, the real horror begins. And it does not let up after that. Basically, this is the way a first episode should be to get you hooked on a new series.
, the three main characters are introduced. First, we meet them as kids as we essentially witness how their lives end up being shaped by brutal events in their childhood. Then we see them as adults where they are not in one another’s lives… yet.
Of course, all of this changes as they find themselves all fighting against supernatural forces that also interfered with their lives when they were children. In the first episode, we do see most of just two of these characters as adults. However, it’s not exactly a secret that they are all three meant to meet up and work together.

The three kids grow up to become a taxi driver, who is also a psychic (and comes from a long line of Sharmans), a Catholic priest, and a police detective. When you watch the first episode, you’ll see exactly why they each choose these professions. It basically runs in their blood and feels like fate.
Kim Dong-wook, Kim Jae-Wook, and Jung Eun-chae portray the three main characters and all deliver very believable performances that work perfectly with their individual characters.
. If you’ve watched TV series produced originally for South Korean television, then you’ll be familiar with this. It’s a form of censorship meant to keep these series “safe” and wholesome for most of the family.
The Guest 손
This means images of weapons, anything sexual, cigarettes, and brands or logos will be blurred. However, you can still clearly make out when someone is being stabbed with a knife. I mean, there is still blood and you see the motion of a stabbing.
Also, you’ll be surprised by how quickly you just adapt to this. Another surprising element is the fact that it doesn’t keep
From being a bonafide horror series. Not being able to see a knife stabbing someone hardly keeps it from being scary. Especially when we’re dealing with something supernatural.

I write reviews and recaps on Heaven of Horror. And yes, it does happen that I find myself screaming, when watching a good horror movie. I love psychological horror, survival horror and kick-ass women. Also, I have a huge soft spot for a good horror-comedy. Oh yeah, and I absolutely HATE when animals are harmed in movies,
