ABSOLUTELY TOO GOOD!!
This is definitely my number 1 favorite K-drama!I have already watched this K-drama about 3 to 4 times and I can say that I absolutely LOVE it! It's the perfect horror/thriller drama you could ever watch. My favorite part is the cinematography which suits the drama so much and makes it thrilling and scary to watch. Also the acting, the characters, the plot, the soundtracks and the setting were all awesomely planned and done which of course makes watching the drama pleasing.
I got hooked to the drama from the very first episode. There were not a single episode that was boring which I really like because I don't like dramas that are boring to watch at all. I would had wanted the drama to be a little bit longer though because it had only 10 episodes which is pretty short for a K-drama when they usually have 16 episodes.
I recommend this drama to people that are interested in topics like murder, cannibalism, living in poverty, stalking and psychopaths. Trust me this is a masterpiece!

Awareness
This show is not your typical kdrama, the story is dark that it surprises you in every episode! I feel uneasy every episode that is why my Rewatch value is low. The OST really fits the scenes, every time the OST plays it gives you chills because it’s really good and Lee dong wook I must say, he’s really good. We got to see his other side as well since we always only see his romantic acting side. This drama also has a good message to always check upon your friends as some might be struggling quietly 👍🏻 And to always ask for help when needed.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Completely Mind Blowing!
**I watched and finished this back in 2019 and this review was taken from my blog, which has better formatting and images that go with the review. Please check it out: http://fearstreetzombiereviews.blogspot.com/2020/04/review.html **I'm coming out the gate here with a big 'ol: "HOLY SHIT!!!" If that offends you... I don't know what to tell you because this is a whole damn mood with this show! I wish I was kidding. Okay not really because this how was totally amazing and badass! Y'all, I have no idea how this show has been labeled as a flop! Whoever said that about this show is completely INSANE! There are only 10 episodes of this show and let me tell you, there wasn't a second of this show I was bored with. There wasn't a moment of "Oh I really need to go do this-this-or-this". Actually it was more of "If one more person interrupts me while I watch this, I might actually flip my lid." Pretty sure I looked like this by the ends of it all: O_O
Let's hope that's not what I really looked like though.. but let's face it, it probably was, because... what is sleep? Hahah And if you know me at all, you know this is the show I have been wanting to watch for MONTHS but could never get my hands on it, but I finally did and I DEVOURED it!! (Or did it devour me? ......?) And those that know me, know I hate mysteries/thrillers... of any kind. So for me to ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶LOVE something mystery/thriller, you know it HAS to be amazing, because I'm a purely horror kinda girl
Okay, back to the show, the acting was off the chart amazing. Y'all know me, there is always at least one person I tend to pick apart saying "Eh the acting could be better". That can't be said for this show! They ALL acted so well that I was constantly second guessing myself if I knew what the hell was going on or not. Even the most annoying character didn't get on my nerve as much as I thought he would because he was such a important character.
ougharwilughrwiuhgr UGHHH there is seriously so much I want to say but can't and that drives me nuts!!! hahah Because it was so freaking awesome!! I just want to go on and on about it. I mean EVEN THE SOUNDTRACK IS AMAZING!!! Please please if you get a chance, check out the soundtrack: H͇E͇R͇E͇. You won't regret it. The music fit the show so amazing. I admit there are a lot of movies and shows I have watched there i just roll my eyes and either say either some don't fit the show/movie, or I get mad because they add like 20 songs to the soundtrack that weren't even in the movie.
Every song here was in the show (least to my memory they were) and they all fit.
Everything about this show was such a freaking masterpiece that I'm like... WHY ISN'T THIS EVERYWHERE BY NOW?!!?! WHY IS THIS NOT TALKED ABOUT?!?!
The hype on this show is so low, it makes me want to cry.
This show is literally the KING of this genre! Fight meeeee if you think different! Lol Between the amazing actors and the setting, everything was complex and one of a kind yet... different. I'm not going to lie, shows and movies tend to have tons of "settings/locations/backgrounds" right? Kinda just... calls for it I guess? This show didn't have many setting locations, you can count them on your hands - Which brings me to this point, whoever set this up is a king. Because to be limited with places, they still knocked it out of the park while keeping ̶p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶Me mind blown. I see these things. I can't help but notice and roll my eyes if someone constantly reuses a same setting through 60% of a show. Everything that usually makes me roll my eyes or kinda annoys me, didn't when it came to this show. Which is crazy to me. Sorry, I just can't hype this enough.
DUDE!!! The ending. Oh my gah the ending had me totally mind-fucked. Because I knew without a doubt that I knew how it would end. Lets face it, whether it's a book or show, when you read or what enough, you tend to just know how it will end by the middle. rhgilrghirugie That ending left me questioning my sanity because I was like "Oh! It's going to end hella different" then I was like "wait... maybe not" then back and forth.... I got tired trying to guess. hahaha That ending left me so mind-blown that I just looked at the screen like O______O 15 minutes after it was over. It's been longer now and my brain is still like: ekfjbgveirybvieuabvileuarbveiuvbfduivhbfdubvfdhyvbeiulvuqeibv
and me even writing this, I'm having to just pick words out of all this scramble and HOPE it all makes sense. If you EVER have the chance to watch this, I am actually BEGGING you to watch this. You might think I'm kidding but I'm not. This show has currently taken over my life to the point I want to keep it on repeat for the next few weeks to months. Lol Don't judge me. I can't help that I love it this much.

I already could tell that strangers from hell was going to be good from the first episode but having just finished it all I can say is wow South Korea really is the master of the psychological and horror genre that other series just cant seem to compete .
Lee Dong Wook did one of the best jobs ive seen thus far taking on a psycho role but hat truly impressed me was the rest of the cast having not seen any of their work it was such a shock to see how real it was.
In all honesty I hate the crime and thriller dramas that center around politics and police coruption and what not so I was more than please to see that this had nothing to do with this and jjust focuse on the psychologocal factor.
The whole series was a masterpiece from start to finish but the ending was just the cherry on top really one of the best.
I guarntee that you will never look at strangers the same again after this watch.

SIMPLESMENTE ÉPICO
esse foi um dos meus primeiros doramas e com certeza um dos melhores!a atuação, cenário, relações e história (que é muito bem desenvolvida) tornam a experiência de assitir esse drama uma coisa de outro mundo
nunca senti tanta ansiedade e agonia assistindo uma série que nem senti nessa, é incrível como tudo consegue te prender e te deixar completamente imersivo na história!
uma sensação de claustrofobia está presente na maioria das cenas, já que os cenários sao tao apertados e escuros (desde as ruas até o quarto do personagem principal) tenho que dar destaque aos corredores do prédio, isso sim me gerou muito desconforto em todas as cenas..
além de tudo ser muito bem gravado, conseguem transmitir uma sensação de que algo nunca estava certo e eu amo isso!!
a atuação nem se fala!! incrível como todos os vilões conseguem trazer a tona um ar de desconforto desde a primeira cena em que aparecem.
é isso, amo esse dorama e recomendo sempre!

Never felt this awkward but in a good way watching a drama
Amazing. I love how this drama succeeded in making me feel anxious at each episode, but at the same time so satisfied.Story (9.5)
I think we can all agree it's not just a simple drama: it's an analysis of how a criminal mind can also arise from the most common person. The situation where Jong Woo finds himself was not his fault at all, but it has somehow unlocked something obscure that was hiding inside himself. The rage, the hate, the disgust, the anxiety, the mental instability, all come out when Moon Jo teased him.
The story was optimally carried out. Every episode left me with a sense of restlessness in my heart that I had never tried before. Each plot twist (especially the last) left me confused and shocked. And the ending, I can say it with certainty, is one of the best I've ever seen in a series. I felt extremely satisfied and happy for Jong Woo when I saw him just be himself. Moon Jo was right, doing what you really want is the best.
Also this quote: "Humans are the most fearful creatures"... God bless that woman for saying one of the truest things in this world. The story is literally built on this statement.
Acting/Cast (10)
I'm still new in the world of kdrama, but I think I already have a crush on Lee Dong Wook. How can he be so good and so hot at the same time? Like sir, calm down, please. It almost seemed that I was tortured instead of the characters in the story. Too good to be true.
For what concerns Im Si Wan, he did a really great job. His expressions, sometimes a little exaggerated, immediately captured my attention. I think his character, given his complexity, was really difficult to represent, but Si Wan did a really great job.
Even the rest of the cast did a great job: they were all capable of making me hate their characters soooo much, precisely because they seemed extremely natural.
Music (9)
When you have a story like this, the soundtrack needs to be good. And it is. The music really helped to make this series more anxious and realistic.
Rewatch Value (8)
Definitely would rewatch it, but not now and maybe when I'm not already stressed for something else lol
Overall (9.5)
In the end I really loved it, and I just hope there could be a s2 just for watching Jong Woo become a serious serial killer and murder some other people (Idk why I love the idea).

INSANITY AT PEAK!!
So, hey guys! I have finished watching this drama not too long ago, and Lee Dong Wook's voice is still ringing in my ears whenever I close my eyes... I swear, now hearing the word 'Chagiya~' is no longer heart fluttering for me. All I remember is his creepy smile when those words left his mouth..After watching 'Goblin', I fell for Lee Dong Wook's cute role there. To be honest, I somewhat knew that he could pull out some dark roles, but his acting was beyond my expectations. The story is.. simply put.. WILD.
Yes!
I felt intense frustration at times.. This drama is very provoking, I must admit. The main lead's acting is just fantabulous! Wait... Fantabulous? Is that even a word? Don't know.. I lost one fourth of my sanity after watching that drama!
The way the gruesome scenes were acted out, with the creepy background music slowly paving it's way under my skin.. gosh!
I literally had to keep the curtains open most of the time so that I don't feel surrounded by darkness...
And the ending of the drama.. it will leave you to hang and die... why? Cause, you know very well that you won't be able to watch another drama like this. You know what I mean?

was this a horror or BL drama ????? like
um loved the acting so much, lee dong wook slays once again, i‘ve never seen any of yim si wan’s other work but he was also amazing in this! the plot is very interesting, story moved along quick enough that i didn’t feel like skipping around or watching on 2x speed. i honestly am not too surprised by the ending but i didn’t expect it that way ? if that makes any sense idrk i’m trying not to spoil anything haha. i’m not usually a fan of horror at all, but i loved the ingenuity of both main characters and the battle between them trying to outsmart one another. definitely could be confused as a minorly toxic BL drama though ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ really liked this show i think if you’re on the fence you should just start watching it! it’s not too long and it gets you hooked pretty earlyEsta resenha foi útil para você?
Acting/Cast: I was on edge the whole time! This is the type of acting where you forget they are actors, you're just convinced they are the character.
Music: Only rated this as 8 because I was too absorbed in the show to notice.
Rewatch Value: Although I just finished, and have only watched once, I know this is very rewatchable.
Overall: After seeing this show, I want to go back and rate all the other shows I've seen as 0. Seriously. I say this as a very picky person, this show was ideal in every way. An absolute masterpiece. Watch it, even if you are doubting it.

I have stated this before and I am sying it again- I threw caution to the wind and watched this series asit was clearly not a genre that I watched. I basically only watched this due to the actor Lee Dong Wook as I watched two series with h and loved him dearly in them! This character is TOTALLY different from his other characters but he kept me enthralled with his acting!Story-10/10
The storyline was excellent! It went in a direction that I never saw coming. I mean, I started this on 11th May and finished it on the 12th May. That's how entertaining it was.
Acting/Cast-10/10
All the actors were excellent in the characters that they played. It also showed me a different side of Lee Dong Wook that I didn't know he had. He is truly a superb actor and I need to see more series/ shows with him starring in it.
Music-8/10
The music was awesome and addictive.
Rewatch Valu-1/10
Stated it before. This is not a usual genre that I watched. I basically only watched it for Lee Dong Wook. There is no way whatsoever that I will watch it again.
Overall-8/10
The suggested overall is 7.5/10. However, this series was good, so I am going to give it an 8. I will recommend this series to people who actually like this genre or who wants to see Lee Dong Wook in another acting role that isn't Goblin or Tale of the Nine-Tailed.

Почему стоит смотреть?
У Ли Дон Ука отрицательная роль! и ляяя как же он ее отыграл *_*с первых кадров видно, что снято в стиле олдбоя, в принципе и по окончанию просмотра ощущения примерно похожие 😁 я вообще люблю такие мозговыносящие штуки, которые держат в напряжении. Сюжет медленно подводит нас к мысли, что не стоит доверять только одной внешности и льстивым речам, потому что неизвестно кто может скрываться за этой маской, а так же к тому, что в каждом из нас есть немного этих незнакомцев, которых мы подавляем каждый день.
