lovebangwon was watching Hwayugi tonight and she wrote this:  i thought they will reduce scary face ghost scene. just like what happened in master sun drama. just watching episode 8, and i cant watch ahjuma ghost. its feel too real.. damn it! ahjuma ghost similar with ghost in indonesian movie. scary as hell. -.-

Here are my tips on watching Hwayugi.

1. Stack up your pillows to build a pillow fort (or as Trump would say, “Build the wall!”).

— because we all know that a pillow wall will keep away the demons and aliens. 😂🤣😂

2. Turn on all the lights…especially the light in the bathroom and hallway. This is NOT the time for ambiance lighting and energy conservation.

Don’t care if I’m holed up in only one room in the entire house, I’m going to light up the whole house like this. hahaha. 

3. Mute the audio once you hear the ominous music being played.

You don’t need to hear what characters are saying when you don’t understand Korean anyway. Just read the subtitles.

4. Be in a comfy spot in the middle of the bed so when you get jump up in fright, you won’t accidentally fall off the bed.  (This happened to me while I was lying on top of those antique beds that needed a footstool to climb up on. Dumbass me.)

5. If you’re watching at nighttime, close the blinds and curtains. This way, nothing can look in and you won’t see anybody or anything staring at you outside in the dark.

Did I tell you how a deer spooked me one night? It was standing outside our patio doors. Bambi is creepy.

6. Pee before pressing the “play” button.

Kinda obvious but still has to be said.

7. Make sure your back is against the wall so you won’t feel tingles on your neck and/or nobody will creep up behind you to strangle you.

8. — edited to add this tip from lovebangwon.

Just hide under your blanket, and check the story’s updates on your phone.

9. Know the horror movie tropes. For instance,

a. behind every slightly ajar door lurks a freaking killer
b. if the lead female returns to the office because she forgets something, a demon will be waiting for her
c. every creepy, unsmiling doll is maniacal Chuckie
d. don’t look under furniture
e. the missing demon is always right behind you (remember: not “behind OF you”)

10. Pillow punch your sleeping husband. 💏

If you’re married, then why are you watching a scary movie by yourself?  Do like what I do and learn to negotiate with your darling hubby or yeobo. Tell him to stay up just for an hour, and you won’t bug him with questions on Superbowl night.

11. When all else fails, have holy water at hand.
