A show close to my heart
A MUST WATCH. The story is fresh, unique, and controversial for most people and has a significant social message with twists and turns. The cast and crew did a phenomenal job, and the visuals and OSTs were perfect. Every character had so much depth and complexity. Kim Hee Sun, Rowoon, Lee Soo Hyuk, Yun Ji On and Kim Hae Sook were the perfect choice for Ryeon, Joon Woong, Park Jun-gil, Ryung and Jade Emperor. The portrayal of the characters and their emotions was natural and on point. Each episode spoke out about social injustice, indiscrimination and various causes of suicide with a beautiful message on how beautiful life is. This drama is all about suicide prevention by Grim Reapers. I hope they bring a season 2 for this show.
Plot:
The story starts with Joon's interview, which got rejected due to internal politics. While going home, he meets Ryun and Ryung (Live saving soul reaper and accidentally falls into a coma. To return back to his body within six months, he must work as a Grim Reaper in the Risk management (Ryeon - Leader and Ryung - Assistant Manager) to save lives, or he will be in a coma for three.
Episodes and their message:
With each episode, each character had phenomenal development and got in sync with each other. Especially the RM team. Ryeon and Ryung understand how beautiful life is and their role as life-saving Reapers because of Joon Woong. Park understood why people kill themselves and the pain they undergo. Epilogues were a great addition to the show.
Fallen Flower: Eun Bi and Hye Won. School bullying leaves scars much deeper than we think, but one must find the courage to stand up for ourselves. The memory world was so cool.
Forest of Time: Jae Soo (Joon Woong's school friend). Childhood trauma and difficulties the younger generation has to face while fighting to achieve their dreams. Elements like time travel projected well.
Tree: Kang Woo Jin and Heo Na Young. Again, childhood trauma and the loss of a beloved one can shatter us into zillion pieces, and it is not easy to move on and live a life without, but we need to mutter up the courage to meet the beloved in the next life.
A Soul Becomes a Star: A great tribute to Korean War veteran Lee Young Chun from the Escort, Risk Management teams, and Jade Emperor. Though Lee Young Chun had a miserable life and knew when exactly he was about to die, he carried out daily errands and died peacefully. One must carry out duties to live a fulfilling life.
A Prison Without Bars: Sin Ye Na and Jeong Bo Ram. School bullying and toxic work environment. Beauty is in the person's soul and not in their physical appearance.
Broker: Song Jin Ho. Online scammer who used to make money by helping people suicide. Beware of technology and use it properly.
Someday, Because of You: Kim Kong and Kim Hun. Tribute to all the pet and pet lovers out there. Good things do not last forever, but we should give up hope.
Breath: Cha twins - Cha Yun Jae and Cha Yun Hui. Highlights violence against women and how society, family and friends blame Women as the cause of all the disasters. Society and parenting need to change.
West Sky: Ryung and Lim Yu Hwa. Ryung's past life. Highlights the relationship between Mother and child and the extent a mother can go for their children. Fate is always crucial, and no one can escape from its claws, but there is always a way out.
Spring: Yun I, Lee Jeong Mun and all the other comfort women. Korean History and violence against Women. Survivors always have to pay a big price.
Wind Flower: Ryeon and Park Jung Gil's past. Korean History. Violence against Women and fake allegations. Survivors always have to pay a big price with their life.
Circus: Ryu Choi Hui (Gop Dan, a friend from a previous life (Ryeon)). Struggles and fake allegations. Don't judge a book by its cover or the character they play in a show (in this case) as their true projection. Everyone needs a support system to function.
Threads of Fate: Continuation of Circus with Ryeon and Park's story. An excellent ending, with everyone getting what they truly desire to have.
Ending: Park and Ryeon are on good terms with each other. Joon Woong forgot about Jumadeung but got an incredible life, and he still saves suicide cases unknowingly. This means he is natural. Jade Emperor was awesomely wicked. Lim got the promotion, and Ryeon chose the RM over her wish. The other cast and crew did a great job too.
Unanswered questions:
Will Ryu and Joon's red thread of fate bring them closer?
Will Joon Wong ever remember Jumadeung?
