Fantasy realism

The premise might be fantasy but the topics taken up were all about the real world. Never seen anything like it before and somehow it kinda restored my faith in why I am such a big fan of Korean dramas. This drama had everything; mystery, fantasy, action, romance, you name it and it will be present in this drama. At parts this drama made me genuinely cry and I had to sit back and take a breather to calm down. But at the same time, the level of satisfaction you get from the fact that there were absolutely no loose ends left in this drama was the best part. It touched so many sensitive topics and made me have some self realisation and a reality check about the gravity of these for the first time in my life, this was probably the most important area of the drama for me which really had loving and binging this series before I knew it.
If I wished for anything more from this drama, it would just be that I wanted more episodes.
This drama left me craving for more!

What would you do with a second chance?

You've been working so hard all your life, but just when you reach out to someone needing help, everything comes to an end. Lost and hopeless, you get a second chance to prove your value by learning how much life is worth living.
When I saw in the cast list the lovely Rowoon and immidiately thought fo my precious Haru (character from Extraordinary You), and watching the trailer I bielieved it would have been a funny kdrama, something not so deep and thoughtful. Well, I was wrong.
This drama keeps you up with a smile just to throw the rought reality in front of your face as hard as it can. The backstories and the link between the main characters, but also the stories of the people they have to help make you simpathize with them.

Surely one of the best dramas of 2022!

This drama shows a different side of Grim Reapers and that is what got me hooked. When I started it, I literally had no idea what I was getting myself into and honestly I'm so glad I watched it. Every episode had a story to tell and an issue which was dealt with, wonderfully. This isn't like our regular dramas and that is what makes it special. Almost every episode had me bawling in a corner and I don't regret it one bit.
The cast... So well done!!! Rowoon literally nailed his role and I don't think could've pulled it off that well. This was my first time seeing Kim Hee Seon and Yoon Ji On and they were brilliant! Also whoever came up with the idea of casting Lee Soo Hyuk needs to be applauded!! The man may have had only a few minutes of screentime in some episodes but he owned every single of them...
Like I mentioned earlier, this is a drama that's one of its kind. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I put it on hold for a few days because of my exams. If you're not sure, watch the first episode and that should pretty much get you interested.

Happy Viewing! :)

Note: The main topic and some others that they dealt with, may be triggering for some viewers so proceed with caution in case you wanna watch the drama.

The best drama in this whole world

Out of all the 150 ish kdramas I have watched , this drama is still my favourite one. It is just so beautiful. It shows how much effect few kind words , a small action has on a person's life. It shows how much people go through in real life and the sun will come out after a stormy day. You can't hate anyone in this drama, you will FEEL for the main characters as well as the side ones. Stories of real people with real problems. No drama apart from youth of may has made me cry this much,If I could I would give all the stars in the world to this drama and it's characters.

Tomorrow is fantastic!

This show is a roller coaster ride of emotion! Acting A+, story A++, so much to love! Last episode had me on the edge of my seat! LoveLoveLove!!! Each episode was a gift of a wonderful story and the unfolding of the grim reapers stories. When I say I spent the last episode yelling at the tv I am not joking and the ending was so much better than even I was expecting! Fighting! Each week brought me to tears, especially the war vet and the dog. Then you have the reapers back story that was totally u expected and made you love each of the main characters just that much more.

Argomento controverso, ottimo drama ma a volte poco rispettoso dei problemi altrui

Suicidio è una parola terribile. Per alcuni un peccato inescusabile, sempre, per altri quella che sembra l’unica via di uscita da una situazione insostenibile, qualsiasi sia la motivazione.
Chi si avvicini a questo drama con problemi personali inerenti l’argomento, farebbe bene a procedere con estrema cautela, perché il togliersi la vita è l’argomento pivotale di tutta la serie, e per come la vedo io, non è sempre trattato nel modo migliore.
Tutto verte infatti intorno alla lotta quotidiana di una piccola squadra speciale di Grim Reapers, tristi mietitori, angeli della morte, shinigami o come vogliamo chiamarli, il cui compito è di impedire il successo agli aspiranti suicidi. Questo perché, nelle premesse di questo drama, l’anima che rinuncia volontariamente al dono della vita finirà all’inferno e vedrà recidere tutti i legami che la collegano alla sua esistenza, senza possibilità di incontrare nuovamente quelle persone nelle reincarnazioni successive. A questa squadra formata dalla energica Goo Ryun e dal suo sottoposto Im Ryung Goo, si unisce per sei mesi un giovane apprendista, Choi Joon Woong, una ragazzo alla perenne ricerca di un lavoro, finito in coma per aver cercato di salvare un aspirante suicida.
Nel corso delle 16 puntate di questa serie ci sarà presentata un’ampia casistica di motivazioni per le quali gli esseri umani (e in un caso addirittura un cane) possono decidere di togliersi la vita. La squadra di prevenzione suicidi riuscirà a prevenirli, ma il focus del drama verte spesso sull’esposizione a chiare lettere di come un comportamento apparentemente non decisivo possa causare conseguenze devastanti in chi ne viene colpito. Bullismo scolastico, cyberbullismo, cattivi rapporti al lavoro, pettegolezzo… tutte cause apparentemente “leggere”, forse, in confronto ad altre più pesanti, come possono essere la rovina finanziaria della famiglia o la perdita di un bambino o una persona cara. Ma per chi le vive da dentro non esiste gradazione di dolore, solo il proprio personale inferno e gli aguzzini vanno messi di fronte alla proprie responsabilità.
Purtroppo, a prescindere dale cosiddette soluzioni che vengono trovate per dissuadere gli aspiranti suicidi, ho trovato a volte un approccio troppo semplicistico al problema. Sostanzialmente è come se ti venisse detto: è tutto nella tua testa, datti una mossa che tutto passa. Ma chi si dibatte in certe reti, fino ad arrivare a pensare di togliersi la vita, difficilmente riuscirà a liberarsi da solo: ha bisogno di aiuto esterno, così come ne hanno i protagonisti di queste vicende. Molto probabilmente, avrà bisogno anche di uno psicologo e, salvo difetti nella mia memoria, di aiuti psicologici in questo drama non se ne vede l'ombra. Eppure, in un paese che ha uno dei più alti tassi di suicidi al mondo, la salute mentale dovrebbe essere una priorità. Il fatto che il problema venga glissato completamente mi fa sospettare che esista un forte stigma contro la malattia mentale, la vergogna sociale di non essere all'altezza. E, in questo, il drama ha peccato di mancanza di coraggio, per cui per me rimane semplicemente un prodotto di intrattenimento che però, in taluni casi, potrebbe addirittura fare più male che bene.
Gli attori sono stati tutti molto bravi. Kim Hee Sun è stata un’ottima protagonista, sia in abiti moderni che in costume, un’eroina dolente dagli occhi espressivi. Rowoon e Yun Ji On sono stati due ottime spalle (perché sinceramente il giovane apprendista non mi è sembrato avere questo ruolo così preponderante, tale da poter dire che è il protagonista maschile). Discorso a parte per Lee Soo Hyuk che, pur non essendo prevalente, possiede comunque un carisma tale da spiccare anche in parti non principali. Anche gli altri attori di contorno, le figure dolenti cui sono stati dedicati via via gli episodi, hanno fatto un ottimo lavoro.
Ho apprezzato molto che una puntata sia stata dedicata alla tragedia delle comfort women, un crimine contro l’umanità per cui i giapponesi ancora oggi rifiutano di scusarsi e che, come il negazionismo della shoah, da alcuni è ancora non creduta.
I costumi sono stati molto soddisfacenti, sia nelle parti moderne che in quelle ambientate secoli fa. Le musiche hanno ben sottolineato l’azione e il comparto tecnico ha fatto, a mio parere, un ottimo lavoro.
Ho purtroppo percepito un poco di stanchezza a causa della ripetitività dell’azione: un susseguirsi di casi umani da salvare, mentre i rapporti tra la protagonista e il Grim Reaper interpretato da Lee Soo Hyuk fungevano da collante, invero non troppo efficace. Anche il coma del ragazzo è stato sfruttato abbastanza poco… insomma per la mia percezione la maionese è rimasta un pochino slegata, ma senza togliere molto al gusto della preparazione. Il finale potrebbe lasciare la possibilità della realizzazione di una seconda serie e, pur essendo soddisfacente, non posso dire abbia terminato la serie col botto.
In sunto, un drama piuttosto cupo, anche se condito con abbondanti dosi di speranza e qualche sorriso per le interazioni degli abitanti dell’altro mondo, coi suoi parallelismi con quello dei viventi. Ottimo lavoro, che avrebbe potuto essere anche migliore. Ma, ehi, ce ne fossero!

10000/10! ?

i usually don't write reviews about kdramas that i've finished watching, but this one is an exception; it has a unique storyline that holds a very deep and relevant meaning. i usually watch rom-com kdramas, but this one doesn't really have heavy romance in it, though i kept watching because of the lessons in each episode (which is one of the things that makes this kdrama are very good one to watch). i like how the kdrama mostly reveals the past and the after-lives of each person centered in that specific episode because it makes you understand their character and why they are what they are in that given moment. the ending was a bit disappointing but i saw it coming. overall, i enjoyed it, it got me hooked every weekend from the moment this series aired on netflix, i really recommend this!

Must Watch


One of the best drama of this year. I appreciate the message they want to convey through the stories they showed. Each and every story holds special meaning. I got emotional in almost every episodes.
All the actors did Superb job. They did justice to their characters. Their past stories were so painful yet worth watching. I really liked Kim hee sun's role, her work is absolutely admirable. I love how Lee so hyuk's attitude changed towards those who commits Suicide.
Worth watching drama, loved it. Kudos to all those who've worked hard in this show. Everyone did a great work.
It's so sad that this Kdrama has all those bad ratings just because of some toxic fans. I'm an Army too but it hurts watching this stupidity. To all those people PLEASE GROW UP!!! You're making us look really bad.

I really hope people learns good things from this drama.

Heart tugging Kdrama

Woah... This kdrama just...Wow.
Amazing acting and a really good plot. Usually plots like these are really hard to execute well but this is really well done. A good balance between humor and being serious. Talking about suicide is never easy let alone showing strong emotions like that on TV,,, The cast did such a well job. It can be a hard watch if you struggle with those thoughts yourself but as someone who struggles as well, this really did change my perspective on some things. BTW this will make you cry every episode....

Red Light is a great song! (wanted to complain a bit about the lack of discussion around therapy)

So first, as I finished watching the drama (binged in two days lol), I immediately looked up the OST and saved Red Light into my playlist. I still have no clue who J.DON is, but I loved his voice and the upbeat rap song that he wrote! Red Light is now on my faves playlist and it'll probs be there for a while.

Another thing, the drama was pretty good - there were great performances by the lead characters and the plot lines were great - but I was left confused after every episode why it was portrayed like a person struggling mental health is something that can be solved by one conversation. I personally wish they spoke more about getting continuous help and lowering the stigma around therapy, but because I am not from Korea, I don't know what the current culture around therapy is and if it is even accessible to those who are not well-off.

Story is not moving towards anything near to progress.

Let's review it in more minimalist way.....

Points of admiration :-

1. Great story or concept on which this drama is based on.

2. Super attractive Cast... I mean not just female lead but you'll find the males leads are also the eye-candies if you are girl.

3. Super fascinating aesthetics they have used here like when they show you the director and it's workplace, it left me to watch it again and again in loop.

Point of detesting it :-

1. They should not make it the 16 episode drama but a 8 or 10 episode drama. I mean I've already watched the half of the drama but it's like I don't even have any idea of the cast and their backgrounds, how they really ended up being a reaper.

2. Not to mention it I don't even have any idea.... are they going it to make a romantic drama or not. I mean if they meant to make it one.... So they must have made some progress towards the direction.

3. All the stories they bring to us are just not the unique type but dull and boring except the couple and the Korean war veteran.

All and all if they are just going to explore the stories of the other people and save them but doing nothing else throughout the whole drama.... Then sorry , but I'm out !!

Healing Is not an Event, It's a Process

"Tomorrow" is slick looking drama with slick and cool characters and beautiful cinematography. There were so many scenes which made my lips part because I was in awe at the stunning visuals.

Others and myself were excited about this drama because it is comparable to the beloved "Uncanny Counter" The 2020 drama has less than perfect visuals, but the characters were so charming that we didn't care so much.

Watching "Tomorrow" did reveal some similar concepts, but I personally didn't find it similar at all. It deals heavily with mature topics as the characters work to save people from suicide. I want to be careful about how I word this because this is such a sensitive topic....While the synopsis of the show is considered to be healing and saving others, I did not find the show to be healing at all. We see only the abuse others suffer (which can also be triggering if such things affect you).

The end result of "saving" people hurt me the most. Our main characters will sort of talk them down from the ledge, and then that will be considered the end of their job and the person is saved. I didn't finish the show, so I am not fully aware, but from what I saw we didn't see the ones they helped again (correct me if I'm wrong). At one point in the show, one character complains of this, saying that it only takes a few words to save a person, and the response is that it's because "no one has ever said those words to them before." This is certainly powerful, but words alone are still not enough to change a years of habits and pain a person has endured and believed.

Healing is not an event. It's a process. An ongoing one that I myself continue to work on everyday.

The show does seem to imply that the main characters are healing themselves throughout or are in need of healing, but it was still very disturbing to see half an episode of incredible trauma inflicted on a person (I had to skip most of the time) and then boom they were fine in the end. I also personally don't love it when shows are mostly all about characters of the week anyway when I know I'm never going to see them again haha. So there is that.

If you are like me at all and agree with any of this, I don't recommend this show—especially for the light of heart (or mind). I'm honestly not entirely sure what group I would recommend this drama too....it is challenging because so much of it is disturbing abuse, but we also see the empathy and kindness of others which is happy. Basically this show isn't for everyone—it wasn't for me and that's okay. I actually made it pretty far but I was mostly skipping because of all the violence haha.

On a side note: a show that I love and did find healing and even comparable to "Tomorrow" was "Move to Heaven" if you haven't seen it yet. :D

As always, I appreciate the work that went into this drama! My rewatch value is my enjoyment value.

Cheers,
Kenzie
