Story 8/10
It has its good and weak points too. I actually liked how they didn't over-analyze the supernatural thingy which brought Hae Sung back to life. Yes, it was important part of the story, but not the main point for sure. The story was more about the second chances Hae Sung and all of his friends and family members received miraculously. The love line was nice and pretty much obvious from the first minute of the show that these two soulmates can't even be separated by death.
After coming back to life Hae Sung has to face his loved ones' miserable situations and that's makes the whole drama so damn sad. (Don't even mentioning the flash-back to his last days and his funeral, I cried a river)
During the drama the story can feel very slow-paced and a bit stretched out, but otherwise it's simple and enjoyable as it leaves time to get to know all of the characters.
Acting/Cast 7/10
You Jin Goo, I have to admit this was the first drama I watched with him and definitely won't be the last one. He is handsome, young and -more importantly- surprisingly talented. His performance was far from perfect, but I still found it really good, convincing and relatable.
Lee Yun Hee, I wish our heroine was equally good, but no. She didn't help me to like Jung Jung Won's character much. She was not horrible or annoying though, so that's a plus.
Ahn Jae Hyun. I first come accross him in You who came from the stars (happens to be his first drama ever) and immediately had high expectation for him, which he continuously fail to fulfill. He can play a good supporting character, but not a good main. I know that most of the time Chef Cha's character was supposed to be the cool-on-the-outside type but he just didn't seem to have emotions at all.
The supporting characters were great and the actors were well-chosen too. I think Lee Shi Eon as the awkward Shin Ho Bang was especially outstanding.
Music 8/10
The music was not annoying or making the drama less enjoyable, which (in my opinion) unfortunately happens sometimes in Kdramas. Actually I'm a fan of great OST and this one had some good songs- nothing very memorable, but I did save a few to my Spotify list.
Rewatch value 6/10
Although I liked this drama from beginning to end, I wouldn't think I will rewatch it, it was way too sad for that.
