[The Guest spoilers ahead.]

The Guest is a horror thriller from OCN and it's kinda amazing. It has a lot of violence and gore in it so if that puts you off, I'd suggest you dont watch it. It also has a lot of violent exorcisms, and they can be a bit disturbing as well.

If you don't have a problem with these themes, you have to watch this show because it is sooo good. The story follows a psychic, Yoon Hwa Pyung, a priest, Choi Yoon and a detective, Kang Gil Young as they try to free people possessed by demons controlled by a dark spirit called Park Il Do. The three are connected by a tragic event 20 years back that killed each of their families. Now, tortured and aimless, Hwa Pyung is determined to find Park Il Do and end his violence.

First of all the plot is pretty great, there's a lot of suspense and intrigue. They don't waste time on unnecessary scenes and the story moves pretty fast. It follows the theme of demons being evil but humans cultivating evil among themselves without any help as well. Till the end there are parallels and the whole story comes together only in the end. The side stories are tragic and I love how it all slowly ties together into the main story. Also there is no forced romance. The three leads have amazing chemistry together and I'm glad they didnt mess that up with unnecessary drama.

Another aspect that stood out to me were the characters. All three of them are brilliant. They're all so different yet equally in pain, and soo lovable. Thrillers have a tendency to not give its characters any arc outside the plot of the story, while this is kind of true for the Guest as well, it's still enough to absolutely love the 3 of them. Even the side characters are adorable. Of course this makes it hurt even more when everyone starts dying. Seriously I was basically screaming throughout most of the episodes to stop hurting Yun Hwa Pyung, the poor boy goes through so much. The acting is brilliant as well. Especially the evil politician lady, she was soooo creepy in the best way. The leads also. The end was so amazing, I loved the plot and the execution but the characters really give it a different level of pain. I was aching when the show ended.

Like I loved how Hwa Pyung is this cute goofy guy who likes kids and jokes around, yet at the end of the day his only real priority is to get rid of Park Il Do. It's so wholesome to see his mindset change from killing whoever to achieve his goal to doing anything to protect his 2 friends.

And Gil Young is sooo cooool. And badass. I low key have a crush on her. It's so cute to see her get annoyed and come barging in to save her dumb boyfriends.

Also Kim Jae Wook is so beautiful you can just watch this to thirst over him in that outfit. Also I love his character. I may have been crying over Yoon ever since I started this show.

And. The OST. Is fucking beautiful. "Somewhere" is just pain and I haven't stopped listening to it since I finished watching. The music is perfect, so is the lighting. No matter what the setting was, everything was just the right amount of creepy.

The Guest has a good plot, amazing execution and acting. It's one of those things you can't forget and stays with you after it's done, a little haunting and painful.

This Actor

His name is Kim Jae Wook. A Korean actor. He's versatile, I could say. He played in various themes. Not only drama and movie, he's also a stage actor. He sings well.

He's my favorite.

I love him the most as Matteo in JTBC drama called The Guest. He acted as a priest who involved in supernatural cases. A strong guy who he can do exorcism. He's also soft-hearted.

Look at him being so nice to the kid who was posessed and about to killed him. On behind the scene video that I watch, I can see him being a fun uncle to the child actress and played around with her. Entertaining the little girl so she wont feel scared and stay happy despit the intensity of the drama story line.

On the other scene, when he found out that his body damaged after a series of exorcism against devil spirit Park Il Do, his complex expression really moved me.

Feeling scared and lost, he looks so defeated, but he doesn't wants his friend to find out. Tried to keep everything to himself makes his mentality drained, he started to experience halucination. Not to mention the nightmares that never stop haunted him.

I want to hug him.

I want to comfort him.

Dear, Kim Jae Wook. You've work hard. And thank you for coming back to the drama land after a good rest. I'll look forward to your drama with Park Min Young.

Oh, I heard The Guest will be make into a movie, with the same staff and casts. Love it.

I'll wait patiently. Because filming and editing is not a magic. It require so much energy and lack of sleep. Take care, The Guest team. Hope you all stay healthy.

And also.... happy birthday Kim Jae Wook. All the best for you.
