Strangers from Hell: A Psychological Thriller Series Overall Analysis

I am pretty sure that many people don’t know about this show at all. Strangers from Hell is a South Korean psychological thriller series released in 2019. I have literally no words to describe how amazing this whole series is. It’s a shame that many people don’t know about it, thus making it the most underrated show of all time.

This is a masterpiece.

The whole show is about how dangerous the world could be. We can never guess who the other person could be. We are living in a society where people who look normal and are helping others could be the main villains and psychopaths in real life. Such people don’t need any reason to hurt the other person; they only enjoy manipulating, controlling, bullying, scaring, and bringing the worst out of the person.

What makes Strangers from Hell so great?

This is no ordinary show, yet it is done differently. It shows how people around us can shape a person in different ways.

Those who have watched this show, they will understand what I mean over here.

Yoon Jong-Woo, played by Im Si-Wan, was just an innocent person who was struggling hard for a better life and career. He was already going through a lot of crises, but what was coming for him later was something no one could ever wish for.

Lee Dong-Wook is one of the finest South Korean actors, and he simply doesn’t disappoint his fans. Likewise, his performance in this show was splendid. Out of all the work I’ve seen of his, this one is my favorite, as he plays a different and more difficult character here.

All the actors have done a great job playing their characters. It all seems so real, and there was not one moment that could make you feel bored.

Everything about this show is perfect.

Now let’s have a small review about:

What is the Strangers from Hell Show all about?

The story is about a young person who just moved to Seoul for a better life. In his search for low-cost rooms, he came across this structure, which completely changed his life.

I don’t want to give any spoilers over here, so let’s keep it short and simple.

Yoon Jong-Woo, who is the main character in the show, got stuck in a hostel full of creepy people who totally changed him.

(Not in a positive way.)

Imagine you are surrounded by a group of psychopaths. What will you do?

The show is all about that.

That whole group was so experienced and toxic that at first, Yoon couldn’t understand what was going on. But when he was able to connect the dots, it was too late.

That’s the case over here.

You know that, not directly but indirectly, we can all relate to this story. We all change on a daily basis as a result of the society and culture in which we live. Of course, this show is next-level and has a lot of creepy and unpredictable stuff. You will find many amazing characters in the show that will make you fall in love and hate them at the same time.

The Best Part of the Show?

For me, it was the ending.

Many people are confused about the show’s climax. When I completed that show, I had to watch the last five parts more than twice to understand what just happened. Somehow, the writers have given the viewers the option to predict what has happened during this whole time.

Strangers from Hell might have a confusing ending. But once you pay attention to the details, you will get goosebumps.

There are a lot of theories related to interpreting the actual ending of the show, but I guess it was kept open-ended for a reason. It is now up to us to determine whether all of the events that occurred during that time period were true or merely hallucinations.

We have to interpret now.  

This show is totally worth your time.
