MY THOUGHTS :
'Goosebumps', is how I describe this drama as a whole. As in, every episode has its own goosebumps moment especially when Hwa-Pyong started to see what others possessed see. I just came across this drama on Netflix during Halloween times that's why Netflix recommended it and put it on top. This drama has a lot of elements of mystery, surprise, and thriller. Actually, while watching this drama I get a little paranoid when the lights were off thinking that a ghost might appear out of nowhere. I do believe that evil spirits really do exist that's why the chills went through the bones. There were even videos online where people became possessed and when they were exorcised those possessed. It was really a great drama.
Every time Father Choi does the chant or the prayer for the exorcism it actually gives me chill as if I am the one being exorcised. It was like all the demons surrounding me were being pushed away. How he speak the prayer was really powerful. This was I guess the first time I watch Kim Dong-Wook and he looks great on this one.
It think it was one of my favorite dramas of all time due to the fact that it gave me goosebumps not just one but a lot of times. It was great.
MY PERSONAL RATE:
9.9 / 10.0
