Ive watched this for only two times and ill probably watch it again . Its such a meaningful story . you would think it would be dragged out just because its one of those mystery in a way story's . But everything came together beautifully . And it didn't have back to back drama either , which i really appreciated .After i got done watching the drama the first time i was in so much tears . The writers know how to make it really bright at times instead of making it all depressing .

I know it's weird that I gave only the best marks, but even that this drama is still only broadcasting, I love it.

I have seen many many dramas and the most of them don't have very good and impressive plot. But here we ca see many situations, and the main characters have change also. The acctors are really great and they have many experience and the really look naturaly.

I hope you will watch it and like it too.

I never though any drama would beat boys over flowers/city hunter and this may have or it was really close. But i absolutely loved and was so emotionally invested into it. The acting was so amazing, it felt so realistic and so props to the actors. The music was really really good i loved the ost. The storyline was so unique i loved it and it was so captivating i couldnt stop watching it. I even dreamt about it. SPOILER*** The ending was sad which im not sure if i liked, plus there was a major twist ***END SPOILER***

It was a Good Drama, until the last 3 episodes, although the final was according to the story I didn't spect that kind of ending.. I Must say the casting, the performance and ost are so far one of the best I have seen among the drama list I have Completed....

The Actors Have reached a level of performance I which the viewer can feel the emotion the actor wants to transmit...

This Isn't the type of drama I usually watch but after seeing the first episode I realized it was too late there was no turn back, once you start you can stop it.

If you want in which you can feel any the whole package of emotions here it is.

I hope every body who watch it enjoy this Drama as much as I did

It different, but still amazing

This was more than decent overall. I have no comment on the background and how it was filmed. The acting was good in parts and not great in others. Some of the acting improved as the episodes went on however there were still moments when it could have been better. The plot was very interesting and intriguing and I liked the moral of the story. This show fell down in the end. Right when they were getting you with the emotion it just decided to insert useless information.

An Entertaining Tearjerker

I have to say I went into this without reading any reviews. I have a thing for the types of dramas where hidden/double identity is involved, so as soon as I heard of this drama I ate it right up.

All the actors were new to me and I enjoyed the introduction to all of them. Everyone was so pretty. The acting was so, so good. I enjoyed the ML and FL's chemistry a lot.

I cried a lot during this drama. I usually don't go for melodramas because I find them too sad. If I wanted to cry about something I'd watch my own life, you know? That being said, it had me on the edge of my seat.

The ending, I thought I wasn't satisfied with. The plot's conflict was fought so hard against and yet...

But, it wasn't like anything I'd seen before. I sobbed manically for a good ten minutes. If you like to cry, watch it. If you like to feel emotions, watch it. If you like to watch complex, and sympathetic characters, watch it.

49 days was the best drama I have ever watched. From the actors, to the story line it was one incredible performance, and drama. The drama also teaches people a lesson, you will also experience every emotion there is out there with this drama. It is 100% worth watching, and you will not regret it. 49 days was the first Korean drama I watched and because of it I have fallen in love with plenty other dramas, but this one takes the cake! I could watch it every day, have the same feelings, and never get bored. It truly is an amazing drama.

49 Days was a great/amazing drama. As the story was unfolding I was starting to hate Ji Hyun fiancé. He is a dirt bag in my eyes. But on the other hand I was really falling for Han Kang. Yes needs a little attitude adjustment in the beganing, but as the story goes, you will fall HARD for him. I Highly recommend to see this Drama, it has a little bit of everything a person can ask for. But most importantly the closer you get to the end, don't forget to grab a box of tissues. :) <3

49 Days is fresh and very interesting to watch. There may be flaws but you could barely see it. The way the story progress always put me at the edge of my seat. I never watch a drama this good.

When it comes to the actors, I commend Lee Yo Won for taking this very challenging role. If you are not following the story very well, you can say that Song Yi Kyung has split personality or worse multiple personalities on the highest level. She was able to bring the quirkiness of Ji Hyun's personality. She should have received a Daeksang for this role.

On the other hand Nam Gyuri as Shin Ji Hyun is a very interesting character as well. There are moments when she look like a doll.

Jo Hyun Jae as Han Kang is a very vulnerable character. If I were him, I would go crazy over the resemblance of Yi Kyung to Ji Hyun. I love his character here because he was like a martyr. It was hard for him to express his love to Ji Hyun so he somewhat become a bastard towards her because that's how he he deals his pain of longingness. But also he deeply cares for her. (Jo Hyun Jae and Jo In Sung are my favorite Korean actors).

Jung Il Woo as the Scheduler, what can I say about his character? He was perfect, he brought a lot of fun and one of the reason why this drama is highly entertaining to watch.

Bae Su Bin as Kang Min Ho is quite a dark character and even if he is the antagonist here I love his character, it was well represented. There are moments when I kind of hate him but as the story progress, you kind of understand his character. But still a villain is a villain.

The music used in the drama was perfect for me. The production knows when to inject the music that suits the scene. It adds drama, it adds thrill.

When it comes to re watching this drama. I would but not right away. Give me 4-5 years and I would want to re-live the drama brings.

Overall, this drama never disappoints. Previous comments and reviews I've read are correct. It's quite difficult to put it in a genre. It is something refreshing to watch, something you could never thought is possible. Something you have never seen on TV. The plot is very interesting and the story was very well executed. It was close to perfection. There are moments when you can't help but laugh at the quirkiness of the leads and there are times when you just can't compose yourself over the emotions you got from what is going on. I felt that the funny moments were unintentional but it really works.

I've never seen myself writing a review for a drama before but, after watching 49 days, I felt the need to write one.

Looking at the story first, I gave it a 9 out of 10. The storyline is a unique one which can teach you so many things about life. It's beautiful and i could not have asked for anything more.

The acting and casts were just amazing. I gave it a 10 out of 10 because the actors truly are gifted in acting. They got me crying the very moment they started shedding tears. Hands up for the casting directors, they definitely knew what they were doing.

The music was also embedded into the drama perfectly, i felt like it wasn't overused like some dramas tend to do. It wasn't placed during insignificant moments but was well thought out and planned which added on to the emotional aspect of the drama.

I gave the rewatch value a 10 out of 10 and I don't believe I'm being generous here. It deserves a 10 out of 10. I just finished the drama and I'm already planning to rewatch it with my friend in a couple of weeks. #49DaysMarathon

Overall, this drama got a well deserved 9/10.

This!

This drama left me thinking about it even after 49 days of finishing the whole series. I was pretty much fine and even laughing with the main character’s silly antics until I came up to episode 8, then the bucket of tears slowly started. I don’t know why but the concept of death and dying was all over the place with this one. How hard was it to find real tears of someone who really really cared about you? In this drama, it was dead hard.

I love the three main characters namely Shin Ji-Hyun (Nam Gyu Ri), Han Kang (Jo Hyun Jae) and Song Yi Kyung (Lee Yo Won). Their lives are intricately woven with each other and progress will be shown in every episode. The story line is very interesting because it still gives you a bit a humor even in the face of death and grave choices in life. Oh, and there’s this other character to whom I was really taken in with… the Scheduler/Song Yi Soo (Jung Il Woo). His character is more complex than what it seems to be.

Loving this drama in every little bit along with the music.

Ok! So I gave this all 10's and that is b/c it was an amazing story. Even though we all love a sweet ending where everything works out; I appreciate the fact that this did not end that way exactly. The last two episodes were so touching and things happened that were so unexpected. I will watch this one over and over b/c I love the concept of "what happens after death?" It also shows that no1 escapes death. Every1 should watch this for the profound lessons that are learned about life and love.
