I gave this drama a second chance, but I feel like it was in vain. It became my biggest disappointment.

I’m a fan of dramas like this, and Revenant has all the components of a good supernatural thriller: demonic possession, mysterious events, a dark atmosphere, occultism, and supernatural investigations. However, the execution turned out to be weak. I don’t understand how someone could take such a great concept and ruin it like this. The plot developed chaotically, often without logical progression, and many scenes felt overly dramatized. It seemed like the screenwriter didn’t fully understand how to properly unfold the story, which led to illogical events and a sense of disorder.

Another reason why I didn’t like this drama was the lack of proper character development and motivations. The characters acted irrationally, sometimes without any motivations, making it hard for me to empathize with them. It felt like emotions and decisions were just assigned to the characters without being supported by actual character development.

If Revenant had been shortened to 8 episodes, removed unnecessary dialogues and illogical scenes, and had better-developed characters and plot, it could have been one of my favorite dramas. But…

There are still a few things I liked:
✔ The artwork and opening titles looked great and even scared me.
✔ The acting. Although at times it was exaggerated, this was probably the fault of the directing rather than the actors themselves.
