I really need to vent here... I watched this with my dad and we really enjoyed the first few episodes. They were somewhat funny with enough suspense that actually hooked me in. Possessed isn't my type of drama but I kept watching it anyway because of these first few episodes. The 2.0 rating for the story is actually for these episodes as I enjoyed these quite a bit. Granted, it was a bit slow but still enough to hook me in.

Like so many of the reviews here say, it got much much worse. The villain gradually got more and more OP after killing more and more people and became more and more unlikable. I will commend the actors who portrayed this villain very well and I imagine there must have been a lot of cooperation for so many to portray the same character. Around Ep 12-13, the story got more depressing. Kang Pil-Seong and Hong Seo-Jeong both became depressed and were on the verge of giving up. It was around this point when the writers clearly gave up on writing a decent story and just decided to kill everyone starting with the side characters. To make us 'feel the loss' more clearly, they gave them backstories and fleshed them out a bit more. I admit I didn't particularly cry when they died but it was more because of the ridiculousness of it all. For instance, when Hwang Dae-Du kidnapped Yu Seung-hui and Choe Yeon-hui and told their father and boyfriend to kill each other to save their loved one, it was painfully obvious he wasn't going to keep his promise, so why did they even bother trying to kill one another?

The main thing that annoyed me about these last few episodes was the writers still tried to add in comedy. They would put it in at the most suspenseful places but it would feel so out of place that it wasn't even funny and just made the drama seem like it was trying too hard.

The ending was even more ridiculous. After killing off most of the main cast, Kang Pil-Seong takes Hwang Dae-Du out to sea and kills him. HDD possesses KPS's body but KPS somehow managed to retain some control and drowns himself so that HDD's spirit is now surrounded by salt, which apparently makes his spirit dissipate since spirits and salt 'have antipathy'. If it was so simple, then WHY did they not just do that from the start? The whole thing was just so pointless and stupid.

I will admit though, the music was pretty good. Not really the thing I would chill to after a long day but pretty catchy. Probably songs to add to my Spotify once I find them.

As expected, I will not be watching this again. I don't think I could handle the stress of rewatching HDD kill off pretty much all the cast.
