People are being too harsh on this one

1st of all yeah i understand that some of you might not like the directing and editting of this drama, but it only happens a few times. It's kinda endurable.

+writing & directing: the idea is not one of a kind and new. A grim reaper who is cursed bc of the things he has done in his previous life. He has to find a woman to cure her pain & let him to be free. But 15 min in the show and you'll see he's not even a grim reaper! He's totally different. Then we have do jinwoo who himself has another seprated story. Not to mention gyejeol and his brother who seem to be related in many issues happening in future eps. So it's not an ordinary story line at all. But the thing is... the directors were not able to show the beauty of story. Some scenes seems to be cut from each ep. It makes the story to look cheap. Sometimes it's ok but most of the times directors have been unable to show the beauty of the story and therefore, its meaningful dialogs seem nonesense.

+ casting: flawless. Kim jung hyun be handling 3 characters is just phenomenal. Esp in latest ep (ep10) when kokdu pretends to be jinwoo, you can definitely say the difference between true jinwoo and kokdu pretending to be jinwoo. That's hella amazing
Im soohyang is good too. Her character is not written so well, but she's so relatable in many scenes. And idk why she recieves so much hate. I mean i can give you a long list of famous actresses who can't act well, but only bc they're pretty and have manu fans, no one can attack them. It's the 1st time i'm seeing her and she's decent tbh.
Other actors/ actresses are doing pretty well too. Only tae jungwoon's actress lacks a bit and it might be bc of the character it self.

+OST: SO BEAUTIFUL. Honestly i couldn't find a flaw with osts. They are just too good and completely match the vibes of this kdrama.

+my fav parts? Definitely comedy parts. I love them sm. That's why i'll rewatch this kdrama soon after it finishes.
Kim jung hyun's acting is like the cherry on top.
There too many MOOD scenes that i relate sm.
It's not boring or rushed.
It boosters my energy.
I love the locations they chose. Outfits match each character very well and the stylist has done a good job.

+things i didn't like? Story seemed to not be developing in ep5, ep 8, ep9. And i blame the director for this.
They cut too many scenes that it seemed nonesence.
The writer should've worked on romance a bit more. Sometimes there are plot holes.

But overall it's not sth that you call awful or the worst kdrama. Yes maybe kim junghyun (and other actors) deserved a better production team. Esp bc it was his comeback project but it's still okay! Hopefully his next kdrama will be better (a hit🤞🏻)
