Overall, this drama was fun to watch. The show explored interesting themes about life, death, and the possible realms that exist in between. You get to see some beautiful cinematic footage, and most of the acting was on point, especially with Lee Dong Wook playing a Grim Reaper. He deserves a lot of credit for making his character the most complex and interesting one in the show. Plus, does he not give Puss-in-Boots a run for his money in terms of being able to seduce the audience with such big, sad eyes? It is quite an art to be able to fill up your eyes like that with such sorrowful tears so often and so masterfully.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of inconsistencies and unexplained phenomena in the story line, especially toward the end. I was disappointed with the last few episodes; they felt rushed and slapped together last minute. In fact, I think that's what really happened, considering the delays in production. The creators had opportunities to tie together the themes they touched upon and get creative with it, but they completely missed those chances. And talk about overdoing it with the product placement!

All that being said, I still loved it, if not mostly for the awesome and unbearably cute bromance between Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook. They had great chemistry together and their dynamic was way more interesting than the actual boy-girl romance, in my opinion. They are two of my favorite actors, so there you go, I'm totally biased! With this bias in mind, I give it a generous 8 out of 10.

I'm secretly kind of glad it was a letdown at the end, because otherwise I'd be feeling those post-drama blues!
