I expected the fan wall to be full of posts saying goodbye to the guest, but it’s relatively quiet. Saying goodbye to this amazing show is much more difficult than I thought.

    I was right! HP was never possessed! He was able to resist Park il do! But he turned out to be such a jerk. Killing everybody just so he could torture him. I don’t know how I feel about
    the reveal though. They went to such painstaking lengths to convince us his grandfather was possessed, then refuted it and again tricked us. Although it would be pointless to introduce a new character, I suppose. And priest yang never was convincing enough. But I do feel extremely sad for him. He had a painful childhood just like our trio, but his adulthood also was stolen from him, forced to serve the guy who destroyed his family.

      I thought park Hong joo’s father was already dead when she went to meet him last. But what was the point of her character? She wasn’t caught or punished. I know we can’t have everything, but her ending scene felt abrupt and pointless.

        I think the point is that the evil is never completely eradicated. That she is a political figure, makes a particular and pointed statement to the corruption we’ve seen in South Korea and elsewhere.

          You’re right. My complaint is that she disappeared completely in the 15th episode and just made a guest appearance in the last. Maybe it was just me, but the episode could’ve done without that scene. Just a mention would be enough.

        Finally our trio! I knew it wasn’t so easy when it seemingly got solved in the first 20 minutes. Plus this episode was rated 19+.As the minutes ticked by, I literally had my hand to my mouth. They were preparing us to the possibility that not everyone would survive and it was acceptable in the context. I thought I was mentally prepared, but turns out I wasn’t. When yoon failed to complete his exorcism underwater, I really thought that what priest yang said would come true- it was hard enough seeing HP sacrifice himself, but seeing yoon drowning made me almost scream out loud. Maybe I was expecting yoon to die because of the prophecy (don’t curse me, I love all 3 of them!). I was so confused in those last few minutes- whole death was slightly more acceptable ( because all 3 surviving would be a miracle).

        Which is why I’m glad when HP survived. Even if it means park il do is still out there. Also a possibility of a second season maybe?

      I like the reveal that Hwa-pyung was never possessed. That was a great reveal and it made sense. Interestingly, I never truly believed that Priest Yang was Park Il-do. I was waiting for another you-thought-wrong-scenario (as in the cases with Mateo’s older brother and Hong-joo). It was so disappointing for it to be grandpa, mainly because he was such a sweet character and the only real family left for Hwa-pyung. I still wonder how the possession worked in this show. Was there anything left of the real grandpa during those twenty years? How could a being so evil and devoid of compassion have been able to fool those around him? How could Hwa-pyung not have had any inklings?

        Was grandpa sweet or was park il do that good of an actor? Also like @waadmay said, he was hardly there at home to notice the change. And he had a suppressing ritual performed on him, so he couldn’t recognise any spirits.

      I hadn’t realised I had grown so attached to them! Is it too much to hope for a 2nd season?

        Not much chance, the PD is not really interested in one. He did Voice season 1 if I am right but OCN may do it with some other team as it is really popular among public.

    Wanted to write a lot of things when ep 16 was released but then the recap got delayed. Now that Guest ended, nothing else interests me. Combing through internet to satisfy my severe withdrawal symptoms.
