Puis-je vous aider ? (2022)

Here's a line of famous Hindi Song "अभी ना जाओ छोड़ कर, के दिल अभी, भरा नहीं "
Translate: " Please don’t leave yet, my heart isn’t satiated yet"

There were moments when dreams lingered unfulfilled or loved ones weren't prepared for the final farewell or they simply just wanted more time.

This drama can be perfectly described by those song lines. "May I Help You," or more fittingly, "May I try to help you fulfill your one last wish."

Is this episodic? I wouldn't say so exactly, because the stories continue into the next episodes, but there are plenty of stories covered throughout.

It's a very heavy watch. It's more like a slice of life, and you have to appreciate the essence of its pacing to grasp the emotions of each "death story." I have to say, I sobbed during many of the stories—it was definitely a cryfest for me.

So where did it go wrong for me?

❌ SFL entered randomly and exited just as randomly.
❌ They used many characters as "plot devices" after giving them so much story and character, only to ruin it by the end of the show.
❌ Some stories lacked depth or were simply too short.
❌ The history between the ML and SFL made the ML's character pretty inconsistent, given that he was very good at communicating.

✅ The leads were very good at communicating, their relationship was less heart fluttering but more mature.
✅ 80% of the death stories were so beautifully written, and I loved their execution.
✅I loved almost all the supporting characters, 1-2 were partially annoying but it's fine😭

Hyeri is a convincing crier; it's not just about her emotions and tears, but also the way her voice changes when she cries.

Jun Young, the man you are, his characters are always so radiant and interesting to watch, imma keep eye on your upcoming projects 🙈

Over-all, there were some noticable inconsistencies and some plot lines were extremely unnecessary but I still liked the show and it's worth a shot✨

Thank you for reading my review 🐻✨

Why ?

If you are aware on Hotel de Luna plot, it’s kind of the same. This drama didnt start good but it ended well. I was not able to follow the story on the 1st few episodes but I understand it as I watch the succeeding ones. My suggestion is for you to prepare a box of tissue and dont watch this if you are too emotional and even when you have colds! you won’t be able to breathe. lol. ML is so good looking and I love his acting. FL is so-so, not that good, not that bad also. Cant feel any spark for both leads. The supporting characters were good. Great choice of casts. Definitely worth to watch but I wont rewatch this anytime soon. It’s too painful for me.

IM BEGGING YOU WATCH IT PLZ

This was hands down an AMAZING DRAMA. I really reccomend this if you've liked dramas like "move to heaven", "tommarow", "mystic pop up bar" then this is just the one for you. Plot 10/10 characters 10/10 I have no complaints. Its a drama about life and death and its both sad and happy its beautiful drama honestly. 😂 im not really good at writing reviews BUT ALL I WANNA SAY IS THIS DRAMA WAS AMAZING. I think i need to write more because it needs to be 500 charcaters erm what else to say the romance was rlly nice it teaches you about how to be there for someone and support them when they are struggling you can be the perosn they want to lean on. OH THE PLOT TWIST was rllly good but also sad because i was rooting for that character and i couldn't help but feel a tiny bit of sorrow for them but im glad they got what the deserved in the end.

recommended buat yang lagi pengen nangis

plot romance di sini sebenernya oke oke aja, bahkan bagus karena gapake adegan putus nyambung yg selalu bikin cape tiap nonton drama romance. scene dongju sama temen temennya lumayan dikit dan ga terlalu sering ada screentimenya, emang fokusnya bukan di friendship sih. scene ayah-anak selalu bikin iri soalnya ayahnya dongju bener bener definisi ayah idaman semua orang. scene mantannya taehee bener bener ngeselin soalnya terlalu lambat alurnya, bikin capek nontonnya. yang paling menarik dari drama ini sebenernya cuma cerita selama di pemakaman dan berbagai kisah orang-orang yang udah meninggal. mirip mystic pop up bar, tapi bedanya drama ini ga balesin dendam, cuma nyampein pesan doang. jujur kecewa sama endingnya di eps 16 karena scene meninggal itu, rasanya kayak konflik antara ayah-anak itu belom selesai. baru ayahnya doang yang ketauan kerja jadi satpam apartemen, dongju belom ketauan ternyata masih kerja di pemakaman dan boong soal selalu belajar + taehee jg boong soal belajar bareng. tp ya intinya udah ketauan sih kalo dongju masih kerja di pemakaman, tapi gak gitu juga dong caranya writernim :))))
intinya nonton ini asik, seru, nangisable, tp ga rewatchable soalnya bikin nyesek.

Adorável

Adorei assistir esse drama, o enredo é maravilhoso e bem diferente dos demais, o roteiro é lindamente escrito, bem dirigido e tudo foi muito bem executado. Esse drama é recheado de boas histórias e lições de vida, a cada episódio você se vê mais conectado com tudo aquilo que está acontecendo ali.

O ritimo é muito bom pois o drama não se torna cansativo em momento nenhum, eu não senti o tempo passando enquanto eu estava assistindo este show.

Tenho que exaltar também os personagens desta série, eles são ótimos , quanta gente simpática , eu simplesmente me apeguei ao padre e ao tio do protagonista masculino, mas confesso que o padre foi o melhor para mim , super divertido, sábio e sério quando tinha que ser , simplesmente amei ele.

Quanto aos protagonistas, vou ser sincera , achei eles fracos na atuação, os personagens que eles interpretaram eles sim eram ótimos com histórias de vida bem complexas e interessantes, graças ao roteiro interessante e da boa direção você quase esqueçe da cara de paisagem dos protagonistas.

Falando nisso achei bem desnecessário como o protagonista masculino tratou sua ex namorada, fiquei desconfortável com aquela situação, poderia ser menos da parte dele a final ela nunca fez nada de mal para ele. na realidade eu não consegui me simpatizar muito com esse protagonista masculino , faltava algo nele para mim.

Em fim eu super recomendo que você assista a esse drama, ele é leve mas ao mesmo tempo complexo porém consegue equilibrar bem isso. Foi muito satisfatório assistir a May I help you.

I loved watching this drama, the plot is wonderful and very different from the others, the script is beautifully written, well directed, everything was very well executed. This drama is filled with good stories and life lessons, with each episode you find yourself more connected with everything that is happening there.

The pacing is really good as the drama doesn't get boring at any point, I didn't feel the time passing while I was watching this show.

I also have to praise the characters in this series, they are great, so many nice people, I just got attached to the priest and the uncle of the male protagonist, but I confess that the priest was the best for me, super fun, wise and serious when he had to be, I just loved him.

As for the protagonists, I'll be honest, I thought they were weak in acting, the characters they played were great with very complex and interesting life stories, thanks to the interesting script and the good direction you almost forget the landscape face of the protagonists.

Speaking of which, I thought it was quite unnecessary how the male protagonist treated his ex-girlfriend, I was uncomfortable with that situation, it could have been less on his part in the end, she never did anything bad to him. in reality I couldn't sympathize much with this male protagonist, there was something missing in him for me.

Finally, I highly recommend that you watch this drama, it is light but complex at the same time, but it manages to balance it well. It was very satisfying to watch May I help you.

A decent healing drama that feels arbitrary at times until the big reveal

The premise of this Show is centred on the FL who just started work as a funeral director. She suddenly began to see the spirit of the dead under her care and can interact with them. There are some caveats but that is not important right now. The first apparition who appears before the FL happens to be the younger brother of the ML and he asked her for help. In most cases, this is the general structure of subplots. Various ghosts will ask the FL to help them to fulfil a final task on their behalf. Sometimes, the task is quite elaborate and comes with a touching backstory while others seem to be an afterthought that the Show squeezes in just before the credit rolls. There doesn't appear to be any obvious link between the various tasks.

As the story progresses, a central plot begins to take shape which linked some of the threads together, but it was not until the last episode that the writer-nim gave us the grand reveal that ties everything together. The Show is quite melodramatic, and I would seriously doubt anyone can sit through all 16 episodes without being affected at least once. The writer-nim really toy with our emotions in the last episode but a more astute viewer might see this as a cynical exercise to heighten the melodrama. (I’m trying to keep this spoiler free so please bear with me.)

In hindsight the hiding of the connections between the various threads did the show a disservice because while the impact of the final reveal is significant, we get the “Now I get it!” moment once and it is over. Ergo, the middle section of the show can feel a little adrift. The love line of the leads is certainly front and centre during this section. You might also start to wonder why all these apparitions appear before the FL and only her.

Speaking of the love line of the OTP, it is nice and serviceable. There is a bit of skinship, and they have a decent amount of chemistry, but it is not amazing. Their relationship is pretty much on rails. After saying that, the 2OTP’s romance is even weaker. They are an odd pairing and is mostly used as light comedic relief.

I think that is the key weakness of the show. While the idea of helping ghosts to fulfil their last wishes is reasonably novel and rewarding, the execution is a bit uneven. The Show really comes together once we find out the raison d’etre but that is almost too late. The romances, healing and growth of the leads are mostly predetermined. It is nice and rewarding to watch as it unfolds, but the Show can feels like a scrapbook of highlights but also a fair bit of standard fillers.

In terms of acting, it is generally good. The leads earned their keeps. The poor FL has certainly been put through the emotional spin cycle a few times. There are lots of cameos and the veteran actors can really deliver the goods. In fact, most of the senior support cast are superior to other shows.

In the end, it was a decent, watchable show. It tried to be clever with the causality plot, but it only partially succeeded. It is most likely an one-time watch for me.

Emotional sweet some what light drama not smart one

This drama is very light and sweet, it's not extraordinary or unique, it's just a sweet peaceful type of drama
I got emotional a lot watching it and I consider any drama that makes me emotional, laugh, and crying to be a very good drama
it served its purpose for me
it made me feel happy sometimes and sad crying loudly other times
its love story isn't that touching, it's more like a healing drama
it made parting loved ones peaceful and calming,, healing the people left behind just with that thought of their parting loved ones at peace
don't watch it if you want something very funny or something very smart, it's not at all
also, they dragged the story of the dead kid too long and made it somewhat thrilling a bit but they failed at that unfortunately
overall it's emotional drama but not smart drama
it's for your heart, not your brain
I gave it 7.5 ratings because it touched my heart

Ghost Whisperer KR version

Okay, so the premise made it sound like we were going to get some Ghost Whisperer Melinda Gordon action, and that truly captured my attention as it was my favourite show growing up. The main difference is that this show is significantly more lighthearted and doesn't always focus on Baek Dong Joo. The show does a really good job of balancing heavy elements of death and grief with some light-hearted romance. I enjoyed that every character was able to have some type of spotlight outside of their development with Baek Dong Joo.

Kim Tae Hee is the epitome of pathetic (the good kind) as he interacts with Dong Joo and watching them learn and heal together is what made me continue to watch even though the drama went a little off Script.

The ending is extremely bittersweet with an emphasis on Bitter. I would recommend watching this if you're looking for a good heartfelt drama. And I was crying by the end of a lot of the episodes

Unsatisfying ending

This is going to be a short review because the drama isn't all that complex. It had everything to be unforgettable but I think it lacked complexity as the story progressed. The twists were very simple and not that impactful, although kinda sad. Some characters were left behind as the story progressed and although I liked learning about multiple characters that appeared for just one episode, it became detrimental to the development of the characters we were following throughout the show. I think Move to Heaven did a great job at balancing these "temporary" characters with the development of the main characters – in my opinion, way better than this show. The ending was unsatisfying in certain aspects.

Despite all of this, I enjoyed this show because I could binge watch it in two days and not have to think too deeply about it. The chemistry between the actors was what sold it for me, although in the last episodes I feel like their relationship was too underdevoloped and... didn't hit that much? LOL I like sparkling love, and this one was too mature without the fire in it? But I loved both actors and the supporting cast! This show made me laugh and it made me cry and I think it's a good show for a chill weekend.
