Shocking on how underrated it is‼️‼️
(This is my first time writing a Review so I hope it makes sense 😭)Out of all the kdramas I've watched this has to be one of my favorite. The acting and writing of this show was amazing especially kim taeri's acting. Ive watched a lot of series that kim taeri has starred in and honestly think this was one of her best. I feel this genre was made for her because it showed off her true potential for example that one scene in episode 10 seriously creeped me out and as a person who loves watching thrillers/horrors it shocked me since im not easily creeped out lmao.
The reason why im giving the acting a 9.5 because I felt like the the grandma could've put more effort into her acting. Her screams of distress(?) were just not doing it for me ifyk yk😭. The casting for the other characters was amazing though 👍
I'm the type of person to skip boring parts of a series/movies to get to the good parts but everything about this series was interesting not once did I skip a scene. I have to say for me most of the time when watching a kdrama the plot feels rushed and like it's missing something especially the endings of some but this kdrama felt complete. Their was no questioning on what will happen later on it was clear on how the characters might live on into the future. I also like how there was no romance between characters but just simple flashbacks of the old times when it came to hongsae and sanyeong. (although their may have been a bit of tension in my opinion)
Each episode had me left wondering what would happen next and second guessing my predictions, overall this was a great series especially for a 12 episode kdrama.

Interesting story
The story got me hooked since episode 1 and so far at episode 6 I'm still really enjoying it. It's fast paced, intruiging and the FL and ML are doing an amazing job actingwise. I tend to fastforward a lot or watch in 2x the speed, but I haven't been fastforwarding with this one so that's definitely a good sign.I think this show is at least an 8.5 or 9 out of 10 so far. It's underrated at the current 8.2, especially compared with some other shows that are currently airing and rated higher but are much less watchable in my opinion.

The best horror this year
Alright, let's talk about "Revenant"First things first, this show is seriously intense! It's got murder, mystery, and enough plot twists to make your head spin faster than a merry-go-round. I couldn't tear my eyes away for a single second!
The main character, Park Min-woo, is a total badass detective with a dark past. He's on the hunt for a creepy serial killer, and let me tell you, these murders are like something out of a horror movie! They had me on the edge of my seat, screaming, "Who did it? Tell me, damn it!"
The suspense is off the charts! Every episode leaves you hanging, dying to know what happens next. And just when you think you've cracked the case, BAM! They hit you with a mind-blowing twist that leaves you shook.
The cast is brilliant – they bring their A-game to the table. You'll be rooting for the good guys, booing the bad guys, and constantly changing your mind about who's behind all the chaos.
Visually, "Revenant" nails it! The dark and eerie vibe adds a whole new level of creepiness. I swear, I felt like I was right there, investigating the crime scenes myself!
And let's not forget the psychological aspect – it's mind-boggling! They dive deep into the characters' minds, uncovering secrets you never saw coming. It's like peeling back layers of an onion – you never know what you'll find!
In a nutshell, "Revenant" is a rollercoaster of emotions.

kim Taeri’s flawless acting skills
Kim Taeri really got my attention with the handmaiden and I was so impressed by her acting skills so I decided to watch just because of her. I don’t even like horror, in fact, I hate horror movies but this one is different, their acting, the story, everything is just so good and so frightening that I could not stop watching, literally binged watched because of that!! really recommend specially if you like horror (even if you dont like) you wont regret!! wouldn’t rewatch tho, too scared for thatWas this review helpful to you?
I'd say it was among the year's top dramas.
The twist in this drama continued until the very end; every episode was interesting. Just have patience during the first two episodes, where you would feel like it's slow or they have kept the main story in the background; the rest of the episodes would be just filler-type ghost cases solving, whereas this is not the case at all. After the first two episodes, there will be lots of twists and turns in the story, and it becomes more interesting and engaging after that. This drama can be watched not only by those who like horror stuff but also by those who like the crime and investigation genres.Was this review helpful to you?
My heart races when i decides to watch it
It's so good the actors the storyline definitely worth giving up everything and watching it. I have never been scared and not saying i am scared but it sure is considered scary for me like i have to mentally prepare myself to get into the theme and just keep myself on the hook so I don't exit because it's scary lol. It's so good deserves all kind of awards it could get. It has dug a fear in my heart to like some superstitions i believe in was actually shown and like i was warned about these by my mom and actually seeing it like that scared the shit out of me tbvhWas this review helpful to you?
i watched the last episodes at night, not sure it was a good idea lol!
The gloomy vibe, the ACTING everything was on point!!! and at times, humans can be scarier than ghosts.i always wonder how Kim Hae Sook manages to play those villians roles so well, i really got the dark vibes and goosebumps from her once again , kudos to her!
Even if you don't like Kim Tae Ri for any reason, you have to give her credits for her acting, like yes the girl can act! since they didn't use any make up or whatever to differenciate San yeong from the ghost, it was crucial for her to use her facial expressions to nail it and she delivered!
Hong Kyung ( the young police officer), omg how can he be this good at acting!? he was also one of the main leads in " weak hero class one " i was once more mesmerized by his acting, i'll be looking forward his next projects.
Oh Se jong, phenomenal as usual!it is always nice to watch him act, his character here is so different from the one from "it's okay not to be okay" this shows how GREAT he is.
Another actor i really like for his versatility even if he is always playing a supporting role, is actor Kim Won Hae, whenever he is in a drama i do not hesitate to watch it lol! And this time too i wasn't dissapointed.
Overall for me it's an 8.5/10! These days k-dramaland is on fire, the dramas are of great quality and you can tell they worked really hard, thank you and keep going, i have so many dramas to watch and review!!!!

Best Kdrama
Never regret watching this show, I've been searching for more dramas with this plot, glad that I found one. I don't want to spoil anything cos it will ruin the excitement and thrill. The actors are perfect for the role. There times that on thriller dramas/movies you'll have a hard time to grasp what's happening but here it was able to unveil the story clearly. You can feel all the emotions while watching it and also look forward for the next episode. I definitely would recommend it to everyone for them to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Humans are worse than ghosts, the moral of this drama
Revenant, starring Kim Tae-ri who is known for her acclaimed projects The Handmaiden, Mr. Sunshine, Twenty-Five Twenty-One and more, is a supernatural horror drama that questions wishes that comes with sacrifice.Revenant’s supernatural chase has a beginning and hopefully an ending (that doesn’t end with many more deaths). The evil spirit that goes on possessing the characters is an outcome of inhumane cruelty and greed of the society which has to reap the seed it has sown. It is not just a tale about a supernatural mystery chase but a tale about regressive traditions, of unravelling the darkness that lies in being human, of denying the right to live.
Overall, the show is fast paced with thrilling and simultaneously terrifying scenes. The mystery lies in identifying the spirit while the spirit is aware of every step that one takes. And the stakes are high, especially when the professionals have been killed in the process. Needless to mention, the cast is doing a fantastic job especially Kim Tae-ri who changes into a different person in every episode.
My Rating : 9/10

Impressive start to finish
Supernatural suspense crime thriller. I was engaged from the first episode through the last. It's not easy to sustain the tension for 12 hours but the screenwriter, Kim Eun Hee, and directors do just that. The reveals build as we follow two parallel investigations - secular police detectives and a supernatural expert - separately pursuing the 'culprit' behind a series of suspicious suicides. These two avenues collide frequently as they bump into the each other following various evidence and leads. The performance of Kim Tae Ri as the focus of the story deserves praise as exceptionally well done. Her character is both the protagonist and the antagonist.Was this review helpful to you?
WOW !!!!
