The film toggles between exorcism rituals and therapy sessions, building tension with the clinical detachment of a sociological case study. Hell is bursting at the seams, demons surface in hospital wards, and incels are cast as the most accessible conduits for evil. It may feel like shirking responsibility, but it’s far more forthright than The Pope’s Exorcist.

The secret to a compelling story lies in preserving its mystery. As long as that veil stays intact, it fuels endless debate and speculation. But once those secrets begin to unravel—even if you reveal them with care—the story’s original balance is inevitably tipped over.

This is a collection of stories that challenges old superstitions with science. The heroine is efficient, intelligent, and incredibly likable.

This show is getting worse. The director has turned it into a confusing mess. Many episodes feel off-topic, the plot is hard to follow, and the characters and casting are poorly done. It seems like the director doesn’t know how to move the story forward, so he just throw in random political theme for attention.

It’s quite intriguing how they utilize psychology to explain human behaviors when people experience supernatural phenomena and tackle the realm of nightmares. The male lead is charming. Unfortunately, the special effects leave much to be desired. Some plotlines lack impact and depth, and the series updates too slowly. As a result, I can only give it a four out of ten.

The entire show is captivating, and I'm particularly fond of the brave and decisive female lead. However, I was a bit confused about the direction of the main plot in the latter part of this season. It felt more like a series of urban legend stories, with each left unresolved and unexplained. Thankfully, there will be a sequel; otherwise, I would've been quite frustrated.

Wow! This show is seriously underrated! It's incredibly entertaining! I'm really impressed with how they delve into the psychological, physical, and theological aspects of the three main characters. Are evil tendencies innate or a result of possession? Is it an active choice or a passive influence? Human desires can be uncontrollable, while the human psyche can be incredibly fragile. It's absolutely fantastic! And the female lead is elegant, courageous, and incredibly charming. Additionally, Uncle Ben is an adorable and powerful supporting character!Read more...

Initially, I quite enjoyed it, especially the concept of demonic possession. However, it became somewhat awkward when a lawyer used it as a defence for a criminal in court. Luckily, the latter part featuring the sleep demon was quite intriguing.
