Tomorrow (2022)

Overall great story, but be ready with tissues!

It's been a while since I genuinely enjoyed a Kdrama without losing interest in the middle. Maybe it's because of the pacing or the style with each episode focusing on one particular character's story, but every episode was intense, nail-biting and exciting. It's very refreshing to see Rowoon in a role really different from extraordinary you, and his childish playful and cute side was very welcome in this mostly emotionally draining series.
The casting was perfect and I believe every single one who appeared in this show gave full justice to their role, and a special shoutout to all the guest appearances whose performances really took this show to another level.
The story was well paced, and I really enjoyed the suspense throughout regarding the main characters and their pasts. However, since it's a drama that deals with suicides and suicide risks, it is really heavy in terms of the topic chosen and the violence depicted, so if you are not comfortable with that, this is not a how for you.
Overall, I truly enjoyed this show, and I would highly recommend to anyone who needs a break from rom-coms in the kdrama environment. I promise you won't regret this watch!

WONDERFUL

The final IS GREAT, the whole movie is like that. It is with emotions and situations that show pure reality, because this is how it happens nowadays. It Is a series that made me believe in destiny and soul mates. It's very cool. I like it all, it’s a 10 without mistakes. It is a series that you cry, laugh, but also gives you confidence. I know it’s not possible, but I really want Jung-gil and Ryeon to be together again. Their story ended too quickly. You have to watch the series.
I hope that everyone in the film is happy, as we should be. We must trust ourselves and accept and love ourselves as we are. If we don't do it, how can others? We are all different, and that makes us special. The world will always criticize us, whether we are fuller or thinner. They don't care what the world feels. But always remember that you don't have to care about what the world thinks, we just have to believe in ourselves. They, in their turn, have been hurt and let down, that's why they hurt others. This does not excuse their words and behavior, but we must also understand them. Nobody is completely happy in this world, except that we are good actors and know how to hide our feelings and thoughts well. Be happy! Love you!

Press on, for you are worth it.

This is my highest rating for a drama yet. This show explores the complexity of human life. Everyone yearns to take their life because life’s stresses can be just so taxing. This show, demonstrated through 16 episodes, the reason why life is valued so heavily: and that is because the future is uncertain. As once suicidal, this show has piqued my interest in the afterlife; but more importantly, taught me the ways and means of life. Life is fragile, life can be fluid, life’s path is based on the decisions you make. The decisions you make today will affect the outcomes of tomorrow. Every move you make has an impact, no matter how big or small the move is. What an impactful movie that illustrated all these facts; irrefutable truth to me.

Plot: Extremely well-developed, and intricate. There is a climax, and a resolution. Interesting links of the Grim Reaper’s past and how they affect their emotions and personalities. Through 16 episodes, they ran through the so important cases that are hardly mentioned in society today. What are we living for? How can we better ourselves? How can we find help? Why not let tomorrow be a dream instead? This show explains that dying in such a fashion (suicide) will not make anything better; and the “benefits” like escaping one’s misery is extremely short-lived. Life is precious. Life is worthy. And you are worthy of this gift. This show explicitly showcases all possible instances of when, why, how, and what kind of people can have suicidal thoughts (of course, not limited to them only), but it has the impact of empowering other people to be more alert; to be more aware of the people around them—and how to provide aid. Impressions on the audience is highly vivid: particularly the veteran, eating disorder case, as well as the animal case.

Scriptwriting: Well-written. Meaningful dialogues were used in exploring characterisation of individuals in the drama. Everything had a logical flow to it. My only slight issue with scriptwriting was when some plot digression did seem slightly abrupt; but not abrupt enough to undermine message and impact of the drama, hence only penalised slightly. Some sequential flow seemed hazardous too, but they were explained all the end—perhaps a case of wanting to induce suspense but unsuccessful, in my opinion. Though, overall, ideas still flowed smoothly. One thing I would do if i were the producer would be to add that element of what happens to the star and Jun Woong, making the script advanced to a greater depth. That would, in my opinion, explore the day-to-day lives of everyone and how Jun Woong as a character stands out, and how more people should strive to model him in today’s society.

Music/SFX: Highly appropriate, apt selection. Extremely well-catered to the sequential flow of the story, as well as the tension/intensity/drama it wishes to amplify. Suitable for the show, very well chosen. Job well done, editing team.

Believability & Acting: I have to applaud their acting. Acting felt genuine, characterisation in personalities of different individuals, especially the main characters, were very true to their role played and the message they wish to portray to the viewers. Nothing felt exaggerated, and it was a joy to watch them take their role so seriously to the extent I would forget it was a drama at times. Impact on audience is also amazing, as the drama attempts to convey the message of living on consistently throughout all 16 episodes.

*Side note: This is also the first drama that every episode has a rating above 8.5 from me. I always will have a few episodes that slip and hence, fall under 7/10. But what amazed me was how consistent the drama was, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, and this drama has definitely surprised me with how good the scriptwriting is. Every idea portrayed has a link to the other, if not, it is a complex analysis of how one can suicide. Many cases arise, and this drama successfully addresses them. For more information, you may see my scores for the respective episodes at the bottom. They are rated using the following rubric;
Plot, Scriptwriting (Meaningful dialogues, especially), Chemistry (if any), Acting, Believability, Music & SFX, Editing/Props/Atmosphere/Mood, Impact on audience/society (e.g. whether any of these will have a long-lasting change to be embraced), Rewatch value, and loopholes in plot (if any, as a deduction of the overall score).

E2 - 10/10
E3 - 9/10
E4 - 8.5/10
E5 - 10/10
E6 - 10.5/10, still my favourite episode. Heart-wrecking & touching. You may see my review on this episode for a more in-depth reasoning for why I felt it deserves above 10/10.
E7 - 9.5/10
E8 - 9.5/10
E9 - 9.5/10
E10 - 8.5/10, pales in comparison to Episodes aforementioned.
E11 - 9.25/10
E12 - 10/10
E13 - 8.75/10
E14 - 10.25/10, an amazing episode that explores even Grim Reaper’s have their past. My review is also up for this episode.
E15 - 9.75/10
E16 - 9.5/10, interesting ending to the whole drama. Sweet. In my opinion, could’ve been explored further with Jun Woong, hence slight deduction.

Something out of this world

TW// !! Even though it's a REALLY good drama I wouldn't recommend it to someone who gets triggered by topics related to self-harm, suicide!!

I'm not good at writing reviews so I will make it quick.
This drama has never disappointed me. I loved how stories change in each episode but yet the main story is smooth and interesting. The main cast fits the roles perfectly and I fell in love with the actors in the first minutes.
Each story is presented with such accuracy and caution and that's the thing that made me cry my eyes out so many times. Directors remember how sensitive the suicide topic is and brings awareness to mental illnesses while showing it from different perspectives. 'Tomorrow' will definitely leave you reflecting about the meaning of life.
For those who like to laugh while watching a good drama you won't be disappointed too. There's a lot of interactions between the team that are full of inside jokes. The ending is really cute and satisfied me.
It's not common for me but I'm giving it 10/10. I wish we could see the actors in one more season! :)

Vale la pena verla

Es una serie con historias que retratan los miedos de la sociedad coreana, sus luchas y guerras eternas que poseen como sociedad y humanos, adicional como conflictos de su historia la formaron y siguen repercutiendo en las memorias de su nación, una serie que nos hace llorar y estar pendientes, por momentos se vuelve monótona pero con un mensaje, lo único que reprocho es el punto de vista espiritual el cual es basofia para mi razonamiento por lo cual la historia de volvió algo engorrosa por mi punto espiritual sobre el suicidio y lo que pasa cuando morimos, vale la pena verla claro que si, no importa que edad o momento estés esta historia si eres asiático te tocara mucho y si eres occidental te abrira los ojos frente a lo que viven muchas personas en esa nación tanto laboral como estudiantil, la vida no es fácil pero aveces las malas intenciones nubla el amanecer que nos abraza a todos, estos personajes son tus memorias y ganas de crecer y que todo el mundo sea feliz y poder elevarte a ser tu mejor version siempre.

Nunca es tarde para disfrutarla y reflexionar sobre otras realidades y vivir algo de fantasia con los grim raper.

8.5/10 for me; could have rated it higher if Jung Gil had more exposure, instead of having screentime only on the last few minutes of every episode. lol.

Now kidding aside, this may be the first KDrama in a long while that I genuinely enjoyed and didn't make me feel like dropping it or that I didn't skip a lot just to get it over with. There was no character who's too arrogant or too dumb that it annoyed the hell out of me and ruined the show for me, thank god. While I did cry at some point, the drama wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be. Maybe because Joon Woong was spontaneous funny that he became the perfect comic relief, which I personally found nice.

As for the ending, I thought I was going to be underwhelmed because it felt like the last episode went fast. The closure could have been better specially for Ryeon and Jung Gil. Was I really disappointed though? Well, I guess when I saw the last scene, I just thought, 'fuck making sense out of everything'. I was just happy to see them all happy. Or more like, all it took was to see Jung Gil talking to them good naturedly for me to forget getting disappointed. It was nice seeing him loosen up in the end even if it just for a few seconds.

Overall, I'm satisfied. It really has been a while. I'm glad I gave this one a try.

may we call them "suicide squad" even when their goal is different?

You can enjoy this drama to the fullest because there are great actors and the story never get boring. In every episode there a "case" that the protagonists must solve meanwhile their own personal stories unfold and with every episode you can't wait to know more and more. The female lead is strong, gorgeous and vengeful and you can't help but fall in love with the seriousness she does her work. Also you will watch every episode drooling to know about her past. But beware! You will need a lot of tissues for every single episode. Prepare to cry because the main theme this drama talk about is suicide and how to prevent them. Also Rowoon and Lee Soo Hyuk are a pleasure for the eyes.

Tomorrow (2022) - it has its ups and downs. The start off of the drama is really strong and I really like it a lot but I think my momentum was lost. I drop this about 6 episodes, I don’t know the reason behind the drop but I think I just lost interest with the drama. Eventually picked it up again and I literally bawled my eyes out by the start of episode 14 up until the end. It’s heartwarming but heart wrenching at the same time. It’s a good drama but I think I was not fully engaged with the totality since I stopped watching this. It’s still worth the watch and worth my time.

just watch it .. you won't regret

this is one of the dramas that I am giving 10 on 10 rating because I never expected to give a drama like this the rating that I am giving it but this drama has made me cry uncontrollably it has made me smile laugh out loud think about some things

your life is not about tomorrow it's about living in the present is also one of the greatest thing you understand after watching this drama

this drama makes you want to live life and make you enjoy every moments and not regret anything in your life
there might be some things to make this drama not the best but for me it's very great drama and I will rewatch this drama whenever I am feeling low
I don't know this drama made me feel so much... there are lot of people saying that you know this drama is very boring after 6 episode it's very hard to like get through it I didn't feel like it
I am someone who always put the dramas that I am watching at 2x and watch it but this is one those drama that I have never had to watch with higher speed
I loved the past shown and how the depicted the world and how the characters change the clothing according to the time that we are in and all the digital things because the world is now more digital and stuff like that I loved everything about this drama I definitely didn't expect to cry but It did
it was a Happy ending they were a lot of moments swhere I was like why do why is happen to them like they are dealing with a lot of serious topics and they depicted it good enough
I love how the show that even animals can want to take their own life because they don't want the owners to feel sad


This is a perfect example of Korean drama
because this drama talks about a lot of things that happened in Korea even though they are unfortunate things
but this things really did happen and we can't really hide the truth we have to remember them and honour the people that did a lot of things for us
in the end I would tell everyone to watch the drama
cause I loved it
a lot of people were commonly on the age gap and how the actors don't have any chemistry I don't think we watch the same drama I won't lie
they were the whole chemistry lab guys what the hell
they didn't even kiss but the tension between them uff
I loved them ....
the friendship,the regrets,the teamwork,the love,the kindness,the purity,the boss everyone

I love how they depicted that even if someone is bad they will get what they deserve like how a criminal was saved by the RM team but he got what he deserved in the end
I know that most of the time we say like a lot of females get for the deserve they needed to get more but maybe they lived their life haven't to makeup for it in some way or maybe after life we don't know what happens after but maybe they get what they deserve
and there is one concept that I didn't love this that is the people who commits suicide don't go to heaven they go to hell which definitely was not something that I would really expect but it's a cool concept to think about...
