Shoet stories within the plot
(First of all, I would like to apologize for my english as I'm not a native speaker). If you are doubting whether watching this series or not, do it. The first chapters may be a little slow as they are kind of an introduction to the overall of the series but, as they pass, the better they are. This is my first review as I'm usually lazy to write one but this series really deserves it. It'strue that the general plot / story is a bit slow, but as every chapter tells a new story is very nice. The acting and stories are so emotional i cried easily in more than two chapters but not only because of sadnes but also because of happiness and relief.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Going up there with my favorites
Look, I don't catch feelings very often. In fact, it takes a lot to get me to tear up. But this show? Yeah, I actually had to pause it a few times to compose myself. To me that says everything about a series, from the writing to the actors. Honestly, if the ending hadn't felt a tad bit rushed it likely would have earned a 10!At first I watched it because I'm a sucker for Grim Reaper stories. Why? I couldn't say, but I love them when they're done well. Granted the initial disclaimer gave me a moment's pause, so I proceeded with caution. I'm so glad I did. For anyone who has felt hopeless, helpless, and clinging to tiny threads of happiness, this show is so satisfying. It validates one's feelings while skillfully challenging them at the same time. Also, for those who love someone dealing with this, it's an eye-opening look at those struggles.
The cast was perfectly chosen, and the character storylines nicely woven together. Nothing in the soundtrack jumped out at me, but that's probably the point. While I might not recommend this to a first-time K-Drama watcher, to the experienced fan it's certainly well worth a look!

Great Acting, A Bit Of A Downer
This drama has fantastic acting from both the main cast as well as one off side characters. The stories are compelling and well written. If you want a drama that moves you, this one has that in spades. However, I must warn that it is a bit of a tear jerker, and the heavy topics can be a little bit of an emotional tole if you are perhaps in a rough space, or watch too many back to back so keep that in mind. Lastly, it doesn’t have much in the ways of romance if that’s what you’re here for. All in all a great show, although I doubt it’s one I’d rewatch often.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
This is the definition of a beautifully done show.
The fantasy story is emotional and unique, daring to touch some very sensitive problems when portraying the life story of different unfortunate souls. It’s amazing how the heartbreaking situations can have heartwarming outcomes thanks to the effort of our lovely grim reapers. And the revenge that comes afterwards are so just and satisfying!The actings are phenomenal. Just from the look they give each other we could tell thousands of love, pain, hatred but also longings. The chemistry from the main couple is so good and the interactions between the CM team members are so cute!
The characters are very beautifully presented with wide range of emotions and development. And it’s a fashion show every time our boss Goo appears. The visuals from our characters are top-notch!
The atmosphere is mostly serious but sometimes also funny. Dealing with difficult issues regarding life and death, the natural humor that we occasionally get is very appreciated.
The effects are good too. The OST are soo beautifully sad and seeing the different aspect of filming by drones are also cool. Love how iconic the teleportation looks and sounds here.
Overall, it’s definitely a must see if you’re looking for something unlike your typical Kdrama. But brace yourself for the onions cutting ninja!
P/s: can we please get a season 2 please I miss them so much!

sooo good
I never but never cry because of kdramas but this series made me bawl my eyes out especially the episode with the dog omg.Great cast, I also loved how they showed everyone’s background.
Loved the way they showed sensitive topics such as eating disorders, depression, rape.
the cast is soooo good, their acting was immaculate and I got so attached to the characters.
it has a bit of everything and is definitely one of my favorite kdramas at the moment.
i mainly watch romance kdramas so I did think I’d actually complete it but I couldn’t stop watching.

Fa davvero riflettere sul domani!
Da amante dei fantasy questo non potevo che vederlo appena possibile.Di sicuro non è il solito drama con la classica storia d'amore in mezzo a fantasy o altro.Qui toccano i cuori di tutti chi più chi meno perché questi tristi mietitori affronteranno storie di ogni genere dal bullismo, abusi sessuali, perdite molto dolorose, insuccessi lavorativi, hatters e soprattutto il suicidio,il più grande è imperdonabile peccato da sempre. Salveranno tantissime persone e in mezzo verrà raccontata la storia dei personaggi principali che lascia il segno. Il personaggio principale e di una dolcezza infinita oltre che bravissimo.Il cast meraviglioso di questo drama rende tutto davvero bello e commovente.La storia d'amore si puo dire che non c'è perché è solo un accenno.Il finale che mi preoccupava mi è piaciuto.
Non do il massimo solo perché preferisco più il genere romantico anche bei fantasy ma comunque è un drama che raccomanderei di vedere.Fa davvero pensare al domani!

Just perfect drama to watch
Personaly i don't like kdramas with drama involved between lovers. Since there was nothing like that i enjoyed it alot. This drama is perfect when you need a break from crime dramas or romances because the main gender is neather of these. I did not get spoiled about this drama so i knew nothing about it. I started watching it because of cast and because of how popular it is. I am surprised how i enjoyed the fantasy gender in this because i lived in that mindset that i will not like it. If you liked this drama you should watch Doom at Your Service as well. Have a nice day<3Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Stage de 6 mois dans l'entreprise des Anges de la Mort...
Il me reste encore deux épisodes, mais déjà je peux dire que j’ai bien aimé ce drama, surtout pour les sujets traités, peu souvent croisés au cours de mon parcours dramaesque. Je pense à l’histoire horrible des « femmes de réconfort », à la guerre de Corée à travers un ancien combattant, à la tyrannie de l’apparence et de la maigreur, aux agressions sexuelles, ou plus souvent rencontrés comme le harcèlement scolaire. Dans les derniers épisodes la découverte du passé douloureux qui a conduit les Faucheuses à le devenir redonne un coup de pouce à l’histoire… Le souci avec ce drama, c’est justement ces nombreuses interventions qui donnent un côté répétitif à l’histoire, et aussi un défaut de réalisation dans la volonté affichée de nous faire pleurer !! Les sujets sont douloureux, mais la façon de les traiter est souvent alourdie par des longueurs, une musique insistante, comme si le réalisateur avait eu peur qu’on ne ressente rien, du coup il obtient l’inverse de ce qu’il cherche : l’exagération pousse à prendre du recul !Cependant le drama est sauvé par les thèmes, donc, et surtout par les acteurs qui y mettent vraiment le meilleur d’eux-mêmes, particulièrement Kim He Seo, Ro Woon et Lee Soo Hyuk. Ro Woon apporte une touche de fantaisie et de légèreté, avec pourtant beaucoup d’émotion, Kim He Seo laisse entrevoir une grande douleur derrière sa froideur apparente, et sa voix sourde et basse donne du mystère au personnage. Quant à Lee Soo Hyuk il sait parfaitement utiliser son visage particulier pour traduire la dureté, la froideur, tout en laissant percer une souffrance intérieure, mais je l’avais déjà repéré depuis « deep rooted tree » !
J’ai vu maintenant les deux deniers épisodes, qui auraient été parfaits regroupés en un seul d’1 h 30 plutôt que deux fois 1 heure. Toujours ce souci de lourdeur. La fin elle-même est tout à fait prévisible, mais néanmoins bien faite et charmante nous quittons le monde des Anges de la mort (je déteste ce mot idiot de « faucheuse » !! )avec le sourire !
Au total, drama sympathique, assez distrayant mais je pense assez oubliable !

Prepare your tissues for the best grim reaper kdrama ever. I want season 2 . HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!
I fell in love with this drama. I wasn’t expecting to love it so much. I just started it because I was browsing but let me tell you. I binge watched it. Like literally 7 hours of 7 episodes and I cried or sobbed 10 times in those 7 episodes. I am not lying. This cleansed my eyes more than anything else.I fell in love with the cast and not just the main but everyone. The stories covered were amazing, I loved the characters that Koo Ryun, Park Joong Gil, Im Ryun goo, Choi Joon Woong, and Jade Emperor played!
I can’t explain how sad I am writing thing right now because it’s over.
Please please pretty please I want season 2 with the same cast.
It was emotional but it made me feel better. It was funny too and I just fell for all the actors.
Thank you for making this amazing and wonderful show. Please create a season 2 for this. I highly request you. A loooot of people are anticipating it.
Thank you again to the on screen and off screen staff for this spectacular show and concept. I loved it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! <3

A decent attempt at addressing suicide
It was a difficult show to get into. The lead actor hamming it up in the early episodes almost made me drop it, since it came off as bad acting rather than just being goofy. But it got better.The emotional moments are well handled with tearjerking scenes each episode.
The pacing is brilliant. It largely benefits from the case of the week formula, so there isn't a feeling that things are dragging.
Perhaps the most important thing is that it gets better towards the end which is often enough for me to rate a drama highly.
Despite how well the show handles suicide attempt, I feel it did a terrible job at addressing depression. It treats suicide like an on and off switch, all solved once the characters are taken off the ledge, which we know isn't how it works in reality. Now I know it's not supposed to be realistic but for a dark themed show, I think it could have afforded a deeper dive into depression for at least a few of the characters.
All in all, I would recommend this show to anyone who loves after-life fantasy dramas. It's a good one.

I haven't been able to enjoy dramas quite the same after watching Tomorrow. The drama raises the bar in terms of characters, story depth, meaning and execution. Around ep5, I was totally hooked, and by the end, I was sad to say goodbye but at the same time, also happy to do so as well. If you watch it, this will make a lot of sense to you lol.
Each story involves people who are at a point in their life where they want to end their life. There is also the major story arc that gradually unravels itself. The stories do get a whole lot darker, heavier and more personal for the main characters. The ending to each is really special and precious. The pacing and order of the stories are well thought out.
"Someday, Because of You" made me bawl my eyes out, followed by "Spring" which was the saddest to me.
This is easily one of my top 5 dramas that's gonna stay with me for a really long time.
