Rewatch it more than 10x! Love it!

I love the story, actors, and plotline. While the core idea remains true to the original webtoon, the Japanese drama adds an interesting twist.

I especially appreciate how they’ve reimagined the male lead character—from being rich, arrogant, rude, and flirty in the webtoon to more polite, tsundere, and calm in this adaptation.

Ryouei-kun is Maeda Gouki's best character so far, and I love how he brings it to life with expressive little gestures whenever he's jealous or angry. The character of Natsumi is also a perfect fit for Kubota Sayu. Even though the character doesn’t have long hair and the beauty-elegant vibe like in the webtoon, she successfully brings a more positive, mature, and brave vibe compared to the original.

I also love how the Japanese drama highlights the grim reaper character, making him more attractive, mischievous, and mysterious.

If there's a drawback, it's in the action scenes.
Some moments feel a bit too easy, and it's hard to believe that the villains—just a group of three—couldn’t be easily captured by a powerful conglomerate like Ryouei and his sister.
A stronger force or more intense fight scenes could have added impact.
The ending also felt a bit rushed; I was hoping for more episodes. However, I do appreciate how they contrasted Ryouei’s spirit form with his human self.

The romance isn’t intense, but the way they care for each other is sweet and genuine. I really hope there’s a second season with more challenges for their relationship—they deserve more romantic moments together!
