Making a good sequel is extremely hard, and when said sequel is just a part of a larger story to unfold, it's close to impossible. And yet, this movie managed to deliver some good quality content.

We've got explanations for some plot lines introduced in the first movie, and in their place new questions have been asked. The progression of the story makes sense and the connection between the two installments truly makes them feel like two pieces of a larger story. While The Two Worlds focused more on the humans, The Last 49 Days explained the background of the gods' realm and the three main reapers.

Duk Choon yet again won me over with her personality and goodness, but this time I actually got drawn to Won Maek more. The story of their past life was extremely well presented and written. Sadly, while the first movie centered around one character and his life, it was easier for me to connect to the story and feel the emotional impact they tried to deliver, here we’ve got the storytelling split among few characters... Which for me made a huge difference and I was not as emotionally connected as I wished I could.

That said, we can clearly see that the history told in both movies was clearly planned, before the first movie became a success. It's obvious that The Last 49 Days is not a cheap way of just making more money with a random script loosely connected to the original movie.

The acting, cinematography, music, costumes and special effects were amazing, there is nothing to complain about. They aced the job with visual storytelling. With that, I cannot wait for the next movie to come out.
