Kann ich helfen?

I never wrote a movie/drama review but this drama is an exception. It drives my feelings like on a roller-coaster and I may need time to get over it. The story is a bit slow sometimes and people may lose their patience for it, but there is always a reason behind those scenes. I love Dong Ju character's personality so much, such a warm and cool young lady. I cried like a river watching the last episode. The messages delivered by this drama are so meaningful. Love the cast, especially two main leads, their acting and chemistry are superb. It s sad that there is nothing for me to look forward to in every Wed and Thu now. But hopefully, there will be season 2 with the same main leads.

I've watched a few Kdramas and just happened to fall upon this one. It's a good story. It can be a little infuriating but luckily you have a new episode waiting for you so you don't have to wait to see what happens next. The characters are all connected in some form or another and you also get to know each of their personalities and stories. I still have about 6 episodes to go. But when it comes on, it has my undivided attention. It has subtitles, so if that bothers you, this isn't the show for you. But I promise you will love how it plays out. No spoilers, you have to watch it for yourself. But you will enjoy it.

This is one of those brilliant stories that the creators wasted an enormous amount of time on stills, replays and completely unnecessary angst. Not sure what they were aiming for, but for me it was uncomfortable to watch all 16 episodes.

The true plot only unfolds at the very end. A well kept secret that a viewer like myself might miss due to the bloated episodes (so many repeat scenes - if I were to count there is a particular scene that repeated between 32 & 48 times).

The actors chosen for each role is spectacular. Each brought their character to life. This is the key reason I managed to stay with the drama. Definitely 10 🌟 for casting.

While I'm not a fan of the way people's faith/religion is portrayed in most kdramas this one kept it real for the everyday yet authentic experience. Not cartoonish at all.

Aside from the nauseating number of replays that could cause delirium (maybe that's what the director wanted), the soundtrack was emotionally draining. Difficult to endure over 16 episodes.

Relationships between the characters were a wonderful treat and relief from the inevitable heaviness of the story. Again, they felt real with the everyday caring, challenges and expectations especially among family members or longtime high school friends. Yet the level of deception between a few characters is a bit gut wrenching. So steel your emotions.

However, as not everyone is the same on how they experience dramas like this one I do recommend it for the unique story, and great cast. It was truly rewarding to see how the story comes to fruition and that it wasn't just a bizarre series of events threaded together.

Final note on my rating. I did not enjoy my time watching this due to the draining manner of presentation and music soundtrack.

If this show, with this title, were American it would probably "ironically" be about some rude self obsessed bartenders and waitstaff, and it's even different from the similarly named British classic comedy Are You Being Served? Which was more of class-war statement about the stiff upper lip of the British middle and upper classes and the trod upon, eccentric working class people who sold them clothes in the 1970s.

No, this charming Korean supernatural fantasy drama isn't even horror - it's legitimately about helping other people. Specifically helping the dead and their families ... though the twenty-something funeral director is stressed and resistant about her fate for obvious reasons.

I guess this could be compared to Highway to Heaven or Touched by an Angel except it has a decidedly Buddhist angle as well as Christian rather than being rigidly Christofascist. The servants of the dead are entirely human and flawed, not angelic or perfect.

I came back after watching more episodes to raise the rating of this excellent K-Drama. I mean if you look at a K-Drama for what it is (a soap opera) this is a really great show, I actually found it highly addictive and couldn't stop watching it. I loved the main characters.

So I have the privilege of seeing this series on Amazon prime in the western hemisphere. I generally enjoy it this far, some good visuals, sense of magic common to kdramas more so than any other industry in my view, and good acting. Sweet moments which is generally appreciated. I have a few complaints. There are some cliche ideas to begin with. For example I find that some characters were befallen my major misfortunes that are incredibly unlikely in real life, so while the case led to very entertaining couple of episodes, I couldn't help but wonder why kdramas feature unnecessary cruel and unlikely occurrences. Second, the piggy back ride- it can be very endearing but I feel like men shouldn't have to piggyback women as an expectation. Women need to show a whole lot of appreciation and frankly avoid getting so drunk. It's a vehicle that makes female audiences swoon over handsome Korean stars but it's somewhat misleading and not fair. Third, why not give someone a hug more freely when they're feeling down? For sure there may be cultural differences but if you're hugging this same person for piggy backs, you should be able to offer some emotional support even simply as a friend. Finally the mechanism of scoffing is overused. Still entertaining and well put together. I'll probably see it to the end.
