torn between loving and loathing this show.

On one hand, i want to give 10 stars for the incredible directing, acting, set design and interesting plot. On the other i want to give 1 star because of how tone deaf this show is sometimes.

Killing yourself is NOT a sin/evil/selfish. I think it is harmful to portray it that way. Especially since most suicidal people just don't kill themselves because their life is a little hard, they kill themselves because living is more painfull than death and because they are MENTALLY ILL. They often don't think rationally, they don't make sense to a rational person that doesn't want to die. They also think the living are better off WITHOUT them.

Not only that, ML has a support system. Many people do not have that. Telling suicidal people to live on because they have "loved ones" is naive. Not everyone has a support system and getting one can be very hard (especially when you are poor/homeless/are in an abusive situation etc.)

I hated that they changed Death's reason from the webtoon. In the webtoon, death didn't care that he killed himself, she was just pissed off that he called her "a means to an end" and unimportant, so she wanted to show the ML how powerfull she really is. I don't get why they changed that and forced some boring christianity-plot into it.

So all in all, i love everything but the preachy "other peoples lives are worse than yours, stop complaining" aspect.
