Okay so let me explain... The moment I lay my eyes on the synopsis of The guest I knew that I was gonna like it, it's OCN, it's dark and has a good premise, and in the end I did. I didn't love it, I felt like I couldn't conect with the characters as much as I should've, and frankly they were pretty dumb and made me annoyed most of the time, but they weren't bad characters overall. The acting was okay, nothing too admirable but not bad, even when things could've gone wrong with all the screaming and possesions and crazyness, it never felt too over the top.
The best thing about this by far is the writing, the story is so well develop that it doesn't need a thousand plot twist to make it good to watch, for me there was only one thing that I was kind of shock the pull off but that was it, and still was worth it.
The way the relationship of the main characters was portrayed was great, at the end you felt their conection and why it was important to them. Also, each of them had their lifes, their own stories to tell, and it was made clear in how they had their solo adventures during the whole show; it was focus on what each could bring to the team more that the team alone.
Everything came together and nothing important was left in the dark, not a single loose end. You could feel that it was written with the finale in mind and all the plot was driven to that, which seems normal but it's very rare to find a drama like that. And that's why the finale it's the best, it made me tear up for characters I didn't actually care five minutes before, for characters which deaths I was okay with, and expecting, since episode 10. Even if it wasn't the real ending the whole dead scene was beautiful, I loved Hwa Pyung's sacrifice because it was closure, the thing he wanted since the beginning, to avenge; and Choi Yoon giving his life, his strength to him in a image that send me The creation of Adam's vibes broke me. It was perfect, it made sense, it felt right, the three of them in the face of death itself just like the start, so intimate and yet so powerful. And nothing changed for me when I figured that it was gonna have a happy ending, because they deserved it, it was their win and they should be happy.
In the end it's such a worthy drama to watch, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who like dark and mistery theme dramas.



Bonus: me bitching about the other drama.
This is pretty much what possesed* wanted to be, and it was faaaaaar from it. I even thought about how similar they were, I kind of acepted that this was a much better prequel. It kind of shock me.
