M K 03/19/2023 It is really sad to say the actual reality is worse than the film. (Still there are believers of these cults in Korea. And they are trying to remove this show from Netflix.) Interesting show but hard to watch constantly. I needed to rest my mind and heart for recovery. But I have to recommend this show, so no one should not be suffered by cult. Maybe you are one of them if you hate this show. Open your eyes please See more Michaela L @Murkurlerrr 03/05/2023 Very graphic and very sad See more Read all reviews
