Have a fresh way of dealing with such a heavy topic!
TW: Mentioned su1c1d3.
The show is about a team of two grim reapers who tryna save suicidal people. Junwoong is a living human but he accidentially meddled in their business and got in a coma. When he was in a coma, he decided to become the third member of this team.
Honestly I didn't expect to love this show this much! It has been out for a while but I didn't hear anyone raved about it so I was just whatever although I saw netflix recommended it to me. I got bored one day and decided to just watch one ep, you know, see how it goes.
I got hooked from the first two eps, and then binge-watched it in two days. I couldn't stop it was so good and so refreshing! I saw reviews on here saying that they didn't like that Junwoong didn't have a back story despite being the MC. Personally I found it so refreshing! I'm tired of MCs with complex, miserable backgrounds. I mean, cuz almost everyone is like that already. It's so good to finally have a MC who's just straight up a BIG golden retriever in and out I was crushing on him sooo hard. He's so thoughtful and kind and positive and like dumb but kinda wholesome. I lovee the whole main cast.
The topic they chose was so heavy but they executed it pretty well. I am a suicide survivor myself and although i don't think they fully captured the complexity of the inner world of suicidal people, nor did they actually suggest a good way to support suicidal people, but they didn't disrespect. Like, they didn't talk about it lightly, like it's no big deal, but at the same time, they didn't make the show too dark that it couldn't reach the heart of people. It feels like how good outsiders think ab suicidal people, which I think is good bc i dont think ppl would understand if the story was written from the suicidal people's pov. There are many encouraging quotes, personally I like it when Mr.Park said humans are supposed to still move on even when they're in pain and misery kinda. I feel like many people can relate to the stories (although not me but it's really difficult to influence me so it doesn't count) and feel a bit more at ease by them. Oh and it's kinda comforting to feel that I'll prolly be alright even after I leave this world one day. I love how the loveline was kinda unexpected as well (although I could tell very early on but still, I love how it was very subtle). It's a very healing show overall. Really fun, everyone is so nice and wholesome, especially the big boss lady she's so kind and wise i love her so much. Idk what more to say it's the best kdrama i have watched lately. If you don't like kdramas that focus on romance, and you just want something fun and easy to watch, nothing too intense, you gonna love this. Kinda has the vibe of Attorney Woo (maybe even better), minus the loveline.
The latter half of the show is a bit rushed, but it's still okay. I love how none of them could really stay out of others' business or be professional they just had to get involved lmao. All of them just care so much it's wholesome.
I'll end my review with a quick comparison cuz the MCs feel like different types of animals:
Mr. Park: A black panther
Ms. Koo: A (strict) bunny
Assistant Lim: A grumpy cat
The big boss lady: A bear
Junwoong: As said above, a BIG puppy
They're all so amazing. Junwoong is prolly my fav character but tbh i like everyone.
Just watch it it's really entertaining but so underrated! I may watch it again prolly years later.
