Estranhos do Inferno (2019)

Heavy psychologically, creepy and dark.

There is something uneasy that makes me put this note. I really liked the psychological approach to the drama. I personally understood what was happening with the character on the second part (episode 7 or 8 approximately) but ANYWAY. The environment, the settings, the music are the perfect combination that makes you feel bad. Add to that the play of all the actors and it works ! I wouldn't put a 10 because I think it's a series that needs to be seen in a good frame of mind. I'm not a sensitive person, but I released it ten minutes ago and I feel like I need to see something less dark, with butterflies and flowers ^^. despite everything its a must-watch (at least once !)

So unpredictable, yet enjoyable

This drama really has got some plot to it. The watcher never knew what to expect, believe it or not, for me this drama was the best I've watched yet.
When I started it, I was so sure, Jong Woo would just die and that'd be the end of the story, or he would kill Moon Jo before the police arrived. So as one would expect, I was quite confused, as to why, Moon Jo called him his masterpiece, when he'd managed to get himself killed.. why would he call him that, when he had basically "failed"...but after finding out how crazy Jong Woo actually was all along, I had alot more things to question, than just this part of the story in the drama.
We have seen a perspective of the story that really made this drama so good. One that showed Jong Woo as the good guy, that we never expected to be this mentally unstable.
This may have actually got me to buy and read the Book Metamorphosis. It now has piqued my interests. They both liked this book alot, and so I want to know what made it so special to them that it was mentioned more than once over the entire drama.
I can only recommend this drama to anyone who is into this psychological type of plot.
Lee Dong Wook can't keep his hands off of good dramas!!

SO FUCKING GOOD

this is probably one of the best korean series i have ever watched.

the plot, acting, ost, and story was so good like it was just perfect. i definitely think that siwan did an excellent job with this series. all the actors fit perfectly and made the story much more interesting.

dongwook was also very good and portrayed his character very well. siwan made me laugh a lot. there’s a reason why there’s so many memes about this show now lolllll.

anyways this show is definitely rewatchable. it has everything from horror, comedy, mystery and.. romance (jkjk 😉)

Bloody but brilliant

Bloody, dark and very grose but really well written and executed psycolagickal drama.

The editing between bloody murder and takboki are beautifully done. As I'm more in to the story then the blood I had to forward the bloodsplatter.

The caracters are really well written, you will probably end upp hating everyone around him (with a few exceptions), and feel the erge to protect the protagonist from all the people around him or want to see them strangeld.

The psychological stuff kept me guessing and I foundmy self efforletlessly trying to make sence of what was going on thruout the series. The casting and acting where spot on. Lee Dong Wook is the ultimate psykopath, Siwan is soo sweet that you just want to hug him and the side caracters each have their role and do it well. "I only killed one cat".

I'm still not shure what actually happened, so I may have to digest this a bit longer. Yes this is completely insane so get ready for a ride.

It was a great experience watching it I think it'll be weird to watch other kdramas with the same actor in it because he protraited his role so good and it was really scary because it felt so real i hope that there will be a season two would love to watch it y'all are about to be real mad at me but it must be said the story was a little confusing and the end to because idk if it was this or this ending




























































































i guess i have to read the webcomic

Creepy AF, but Worth It

I watched the first episode and then proceeded to watch something else, it was boring, but. BUT. Give it a chance. Once you get to about half way through episode 2 or even episode 3, you will be hooked. It's a bit slow to begin with, but totally worth it.

I was in the mood to watch something with psychopaths and murderers, this DID NOT disappoint. Half the time, I could not tell if it was reality or Jong-Woo's secret fantasies. I so badly wanted him to break free and become a true psycho.

Lastly, let me just say, I have never really thought that Lee Dong-Wook was my type, BUT I ain't never seen any other a man look so sexy while murdering people. *chefs kiss*

Well, that was wild to say the least...

If I remember correctly, back when this first aired, I started watching this drama, but I didn't, or should I say couldn't get through even the first episode. I'm not sure if another drama interested me more, or if this creeped me out too much because I'm a scaredy cat. Well whatever it is, here I was watching it, now finally finished it because a lot of people in my twitter timeline kept talking about the drama (or should I say, the characters Seo Moonjo and Yoon Jongwoo in particular?) And me being me, even though I was a scaredy cat, I'm also pretty curious. A pretty bad combination of personalities.

And honestly, I don't think I have much to say about this. Not as in, this is boring, or this is bad. But as in, I just really don't know how or what to talk about this. I started off finding Jongwoo relatable. He seemed shy and timid. The way his surroundings stressed him out, from his creepy neighbors to his rude workmate. How his girlfriend and his senior treated him, alienated him, didn't bother listening him out. How his mind plays out what would have happened if he doesn't keep his cool and blew up all his feelings. You don't know how glad and happy I was when he had the new neighbor who got along with him, and his old friend from the military who listened to him and even went with him to help out (Though we all know how that ended...)

I finished it only a few minutes ago (or an hour?) as I'm writing this. And therefore, I'm still pretty much processing the ending. I didn't really know how to feel. I feel like I understand, but on the other hand, I feel like I don't understand it yet, as I don't know what to say about it. But.. I feel like if I had just continued watching this when it first aired, it would feel a lot more thrilling, a lot more stressful. I like marathoning series just fine, but watching series on going, as each episode airs every week, it always feels so much nicer, more thrilling, and probably would make me more interested, and more attached. So, that was probably the only little disappointing thing about this and it's not at all their fault that I watched this late. But at least I got to find out what this was about and that's enough.

Make me want to be a psychopath too

This story especially the ending really surprise me, in the beginning, i'm a little bored, but that's still make me want to watch the next episode. I have never thought that all scenes in the beginning that make me bored is closely related to the storyline. If you are pay attention to details, that's really creepy and make curious. We will be brought into the truth by flowing like water, the one is very scary is when My mentality is also drained like Jongwoo's role here, I get carried away and even affect the real world. Its cool. and i've never thought the ending. the one that makes me hurt so much is when "they're" will kill Seok Yun, It hurt my heart when he begging Jeongwoo please. you have to watch this, you won't regret it. the scene is certainly gruesome, but it's very cool. Once I once even supported the main leader, the handsome dentist. don't forget to watch its only 10 ep, I finished it only one day

all time favorit

I can't describe how much I love this series, watched all episodes in one day, the characters, actors, story just everything was good, I wish I could watch it again. It's my favorite thriller/drama? Number 1 🔥🔥🔥 NOW SPOILER: I personally don't like the ending that much, it feels like it's just the penultimate episode or the end of a season but not like the COMPLETE END?! At the end you see moonjo again and I would like to know how it went on with jongwoo He was completely manipulated.. is he now just like moonjo ? I'm so interested but omg I need another season 😭😭😭 But it's still a 10/10, Yim siwan has become my favorite actor because of it. The series already had strong BL potential (I would kill for a bl like this hahah it would be so perfect, but with a better ending lol) by the way the girlfriend has much so annoyed 😭 Like Girl help your boyfriend ?! He was crying in front of you and you ignored him 😭(she kinda looked like ryujin from itzy lol) AND I LOVE THE ENDING MUSIC ITS SO SHORT BUT I LOVE ITT

Phenomenal

I went into this show with my expectations below ground and holy hell I was taken aback by this show in such an unexpectedly good way.



The production, story, cast, acting, etc. blew me away. Right from the start of episode 1, the creep factor was so high and this show is a prime example of proving you don't need over-the-top gore, special effects, or jumpscares to make something scary. True to its meaning of "People are hell" !!!!



One thing I want to praise the most, despite being said already, is the actors of Jung Woo and Seo Moonjo. They took their role and OWNED IT. Lee Dongwook and Yim Si-Wan killed it (pun intended).



This is a good watch for anyone who wants to experience a psychological horror mindfuck that will keep you glued to the screen.

Scary but brilliant

This movie is one of those movie that can make you squeamish and helpless, especially since the background felt as if it was a living character, as if you are watching while expecting an impending horrible car crash about to happen.

The ambience and the music is absolutely wonderful, and the cinematography is brilliant. "Eden Studio", the place where the main character lived in, is a horrible place and the series did a great job in showing it. It emphasizes the feelings of the main character towards a place, including its dingy walls and dirty background, as well as the offensive and the mentally unsound inhabitants. In a sense, Eden studio is like one character encapsulating the helplessness of the main character's flight.

Throughout the series, I sometimes find it hard to watch because I felt really bad for the main character. He is someone who has a lot of pride, and struggles to make his bread due to his literary career and would feel relatable to everyone starting out in life. We can see how he is a flawed character with a lot of anger and suppressed feeling as he grew increasingly isolated in the place he lived in, with his girlfriend treating him coldly and his coworkers bullying and humiliating him. Moreover, his only place of solace, Eden studio further exacerbates this condition by being so claustrophobic and morally unsafe.

The way the movie is set is like a horror movie, with a lot of suspense as you await the main character's unraveling sanity and the evil that exist in the studio.

Lee Dong Wook's acting is superb, it is amazing how he is able to be so creepy while still being so charismatic and handsome. I especially like the interactions between him and the main character and how he is trying to mold the main character into him. However, the situation the main character is put in is similar to how a toxic relationship works- he is isolated and was gaslighted several times (by the inhabitants and his own girlfriend), and was made to question whether he is overthinking and overly sensitive, and each of his step is controlled (as he had no financial independence).

It is a very good psychological drama in all aspects, and bordering that of a horror movie.
