This is my first review, but I felt I had to because this show was just so good. I cried so much, but I also laughed and it was just so lovely. It covers loss, grief, love, and depression. I felt the heartbreak and the sorrow and the want to disappear because the leads did such a phenomenal job. It's only six episodes, and each episode is a masterpiece. I hope more people watch it and give it the love and appreciation it deserves. Beautifully acted, beautifully shot, and beautiful soundtrack. I am happy that I watched it, and will probably recommend it to all my kdrama friends and family. I hope they'll love it just as much as me.

This should just have been a movie. There wasn't enough story for a series.

This grim reaper story has been done before. So it feels a bit cliched. The story is morose and depressing. In the end the weepiness is not affecting at all. Repetitive and unconvincing.

Gong Myung does another sweet character. Kim Minha is not suited for this role. Too mature looking. She was great in Pachinko but here she doesn't look like a student at all. Too much of a character actress. No way 2 guys could have been in love with her.

Don't bother.

(spoiler free)

If anyone is wondering whether they should watch this drama, the answer is yes - you should! It's not a time-wasting drama, and you'll feel it was worth watching. This drama met my expectations, as I had been waiting for it. It's quite sad, but not traumatic.

All the actors did a great job, even though I had doubts about whether they would perform well, since the main three actors other than kim minha don't have much experience. As for the story, there might seem to be a few loopholes and glitches, but they're all easy to overlook. The story is beautiful.

Time is precious, and it shouldn't be wasted watching other dramas when this one exists.

However, I personally felt that one more episode would have made it even better, as the bonds between the characters - both friends and family - didn't get enough time in last three episodes.

This is the sort of drama that the Koreans do best. It's just beautiful. The director and screenwriter get just about everything right and the young cast do an amazing job. Kim Min ha in particular is mesmerising. Her portrayal of love, grief and depression is so moving. You almost feel her pain yourself. She really is a great actress (Pachinko, Light Shop - both highly recommended) with fantastic range.

I had no idea what I was getting into ahead of watching this, so I'm issuing a warning. Buy a box of tissues because there are scenes that are heart-rending. The heartbreak is so worth it though because the writing and performances will stay with me for a very long time.

I really hope this reaches a much wider audience because it's up there with some of the best Korean dramas of recent years.

To say that I cried through this entire series may not sound like a positive review but I truly loved it. It touched me so deeply that I got completely immersed in it.

I am still emotionally wrecked by this drama. It has been a long time since I have been this affected by a K-drama (should I say K-trauma?) Grieving is both universal and uniquely personal. This story managed to explore the many layers of grief and healing in such a beautiful, thoughtful way.

I was unfamiliar with either of the main leads before watching this but am now a huge fan of both. So talented! It is so great to see a female lead whose character is so real and fully developed.
