Description
From Tokyopop:
Beautiful Hyo-Bin Na is the new girl at school who everybody wants to meet. But Hyo-Bin is no normal high school student and she certainly has no desire to be popular. You see, she's cursed with supernatural abilities and by a dark and dangerous past.
Everyone she has ever gotten close has ended up dead. Hyo-Bin doesn't want to go through the pain of lost friends and lost love again, so she vows to not get too close to anyone or to date anybody at her new school.
But, alas, and of course, it isn't quite that easy ...

...The core concept's not bad, but the god-awful romance ruins it. It's utterly superfluous, annoying, shallow and unsexy, with some of the least likeable male leads I've seen in a while: the type who, in their attempts to get into the girls' skirts, somehow end up looking cool and heroic for no other reason than to force the reader into approving of the pairings. Add to that a love triangle where the loser's obvious from the first page onwards, a playboy who becomes faithful as a result of the MC's "aloof affections," and a female protagonist who almost every man in the school wants to be with, and you've got the typical HS love melodrama with not an ounce of true feeling anywhere, but still trying to pass itself off as "romance."
Now, I wouldn't complain about this so much if the love story didn't take up a good 50% of each volume, often being abruptly shoved into the middle of supernatural scenes or plot-relevant conversations and effectively ruining the ambience while also wasting the reader's time on things that have zero impact on story development or character growth, but that's exactly what happens in Visitor.
However, the plot itself is okay and the strong female characters and their tentative friendships are awesome, so go for it if you can put up with the aforementioned flaws -- plus a mediocre ending -- for the sake of a good ghost story.

The the story was pretty good. I like the psychology twists and turns that it gives you. More suspense then horror a few boodle parts here a their. I hate to make the redundant comment about the ending but I was a bit disappointed. The story was going at good pace the two lead main girl leads were strong and not the wimp crybaby types it made the story interesting. But the end just felt rushed and fall flat for me. I do recommend it for a good read even if the is a little flat.

it'a good manhwa, the story is intersting and it keeps you thinking a bit. I think from the middle onwards the author streched it a bit too much and then, near the end, (when i was completely hyped) she just throws you against a wall. You don't actually now what happens with the bad guys and the other one, it ends in like the half of a chapter, just too abrupt.
Apart from the bad things a just mentioned, it IS a really good manhwa (mu opinion), it has an intersting plot and really likeable chars (they act more like real humans).

it was ok not bad though i think the ending was just to fast i mean like many people have said, what happend to the criminals, also the other 2 side character like Mat the guy and that other girl with the glasses, plus the guy's weren't even much of a help lol... anyway if the ending was hurriedly come to an end the manhwa would ..might have been better.

The story is pretty good. It kept my attention anyway. Expect nothing terribly original though, as the cliches abound.
The plot involves the main character's dreams, and how they tie into her past is a mystery that unfolds slowly. Revelations come at a regular pace, with a little more given each chapter. It's enjoyable this way because you can piece things together a little at a time as you read.
The art is very shoujo, and not very appealing to me. Most panels are well drawn, and depict the action well enough. It's usually not hard to tell characters apart because most have distinctive features. That's a good thing for me, because I had difficulty remembering the Korean names.
The horror elements are not very strong, but expect blood and murder. The art doesn't depict the scenes of horror very graphically, so most people should easily withstand the few shocking scenes to be found here.
Recommended for fans of mystery, and supernatural. True horror fans should not expect much, but may also find satisfaction if they are open minded enough.

Fairly interesting although it didn't have enough/any closure for the other characters.
Definitely not horror as it wasn't even frightening at all.
Art was fairly acceptable: the artist was all right at portraying emotions and the various scenes. Could’ve been better, I suppose.
Entertaining enough for a light read. But if you want something with better plot and pacing and superior characterization, try something else instead.

Like what happened with Mat who knew about her secrets or even Min-Soo in the end? And well, what happened with the criminals? Were they acquitted or did they get some sort jail term?

The genres seem to be over exaggerating, so does the summary. So the story is horror, the art tried to be horror, but the fact that it is down to earth with some comedies in it doesn't help the horror feelings. For people who don't want to get chilly scared and love freaky stuff then i recommend this manhwa for ya ;D It's like at night it is scary but the next page a good laugh makes you forget everything... :]
