Watched this when it first came out. Watched plenty of Korean supernatural series before and after this, and so far none of them have managed to surpass this masterpiece.
Unlike their horror movies, Korean horror TV shows rarely possess a clear sense of direction. Most of them just can't seem to avoid the clichés of a typical K dramas. The characters are either unrealistically "cool" (overpowered main character with a tragic past in over-the-top CG fight scenes) or way too melodramatic.
The Guest really nails the character development. There are no super humans, no silly ghosts, or unrealistic fight scenes. The suspense draws you in keeps you guessing till the end. A must watch if you're a fan of a show of this genre.
