Need to be watched in one go!!
I tell you what, this drama has to be watched in one go. Why? because you need to feel the characters in this very difficult story-line. I loved it!
First, the story of Kyu (or Q): He call himself the cupid reaper, 7 wishes to make people dessaper from the earth like they never existed. He call himself a demon but was in fact a human who made bad choices to save his dad from death. The back story of this character comes in small parts, but episode 11 reveal more about him. Loving someone, a lover or a family member, is often push back from living your own life and you only realize your love when you are going to loose them. That is the story that everyone can relate to.
Second, the story of Sunshine: He is not a very good person, or at least it's what you think after only a few episodes. He blame everyone but himself for his boyfriend, Rain, braking up with him. When he met Q, he decided to agree to the contract with him to erase people that are going against his lover and him. Each day, he choose someone. But, by making those decisions, he doesn't only affect his life, but the whole world. Rain's new lover disappearance didn't change the fact that he broke up with Sunshine. The politician disappearance changed the policy against gays. The ex-lover disappearance made Rain forget Sunshine. Then, Rain 's best friend disappearance made Rain kill himself. All those actions made Sunshine question himself about who he is, still not accepting the fact that Rain disappeared because of his choices and blaming Q. When he finally made the wish to make everyone who was against their love, Rain didn't come back. Sunshine realised that maybe Rain never really loved him. He still wondered why HE didn't disappeared instead as he was the real problem. So, he wished to disappear himself. When he did, everything came back, and so did he, apparently because "someone" wished him to come back. BUT, still no trace of Rain and Sunshine started to forget everything about him and his love for him. When Sunshine learned Q's full story, he also realised that it was his selfishness that made the choices of people disappearance, not his love for Rain, because he forgot his love yet kept on making wishes. He realised that he was, in fact, in love with the only person who understood him and helped him : Q. Unfortunately, to make the world as it was, he wished for Q to disappear.
The story is mainly focus on those two, Sunshine and Q. Everyone else are background characters. Even Rain, who is a main character in the drama, yet we mainly see him in flashbacks or quick view of the present. We learn about Rain's story through the episodes. He make us like him very much and put light on Sunshine's selfishness. I loved how you feel empathy for the guy who cheated on Sunshine. It also shows that the had nothing in commun and that their love was never going to work. In the last episode, when Sunshine asked for forgiveness to Rain and his new boyfriend after Q's disappearance, Rain saw how Sunshine had changed in 7 days. Even if they broke up, they left as friend and it was nice to see.
What was expected happened of course. Sunshine met "Q" on the plane and they both recognise each other, BUT, what was strange, is that they called each other "Q". You can suspect that those wishes was in fact a travel through various universe (Sunshine suggested that in one episode) and they are each other's Cupid Reaper??? We'll never really know. The ending was neither good or bad. The "dialogue" between the two in the background suggest they will re-discover each other.
The story was fantastic. No s.x, not much kissing. A bit of very sexy shirtless men, but it is for all ages. (you can also often be frustrated by the s.xual tension between S and Q). The acting was amazing too. Atom and Jet are new actors, but their performance was fantastic. I mean, most dialogues, often very longue, are between the two of them. For people who knows about acting, doing long dialogues while staying in characters is very difficult. Who doesn't remember Ponlawit Ketprapakorn (Pond) in 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us back in 2022 and those longue dialogues? That is what this drama reminded me off.
Those who gave a low score didn't really watch it with their heart. Even if it's a drama for everyone, it is not an upbeat story about love. It is about looking back into yourself when bad things happen into your life and how to move on without blaming anyone.
