My Fantastic Funeral (2015)

Are you ready for the end of your life?

I think that’s the main question this mini series would make you ask yourself. If you know that the end is near, what would you do? What matters the most for you? Is there outstanding issues that you need to deal with? Are you accepting it and prepared for it?

Even though the theme is bleak and gloomy, the series actually deals with this issue with such a positive and warm view point. You would appreciate all that their trying to convey with a smile. It doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t cry like a baby... but it does makes you appreciate live.

The cast couldn’t be better. Amazing acting all around, but the main female and male lead definitely stole the show. They have wonderful chemistry together, you would believe the love they have for each other.

Choi Woo Shik as Park Dong Su is perfect at portraying his love for Jang Mi Su, played by Kyung Su Jin, you could see how it pains him to see her getting ready for death, but you could also see how he loves her and how happy he is to be by her side until the end. He teach her how to appreciate live and enjoy the moment, not just waiting for it to end.

Su Jin portrays Mi Su struggle to accept death and trying to get her affairs in order so well. You could see her turning a new leave on her view of death. It’s such an emotional moment that you couldn’t help but shed a few tears.

The other supporting characters are not explore much since this is basically a movie length mini series, but they give enough reference and background to add to the stories of the main characters. Each casts are playing their role nicely.

The songs of ‘It’s You’ and ‘You are My Everything’ are really fitting for the series and build up the ambiance of the story nicely. Love it.

Would definitely watch it again and again. It would make me appreciate my live more and be thankful for all the things I have and took for granted, such as being able to grow old with your significant others, being healthy to enjoy a good vacation and eating good food.

Would recommend everyone to watch this.
