Tomorrow

The Main characters story came bit too late.

I am no expert on mental health or depression so my review is based on my opinion as a viewer . I’ll divide the review in two parts; one on the main characters and the other on the suicide cases in the show.

So let’s start with the theme of the show, suicide. Based on my experience and knowledge , the urge to end one’s life comes and goes in waves for those who are suffering from it. This condition is more common in people who suffer from depression and anxiety. Hence it’s like a disease that needs treatment and can’t be cured and fixed in days, weeks or even months. It takes people years to get better. So ,if someone is feeling better today it doesn’t mean that the urge has completely gone away. It can always return back. Yes, words do have an impact but the disease necessarily don’t always happen because of the dramatic and drastic things as shown in the drama. It’s the little, mundane things in life that sometimes cause it. Some people endure it while others find it difficult to. The drama bases people’s urge to die on a single tragic event or chain of events. And that isn’t accurate. Neither it can be cured that quickly as shown in the drama. The stories were drastic and over dramatic in my opinion. Only few stood reasonable to me. The fried chicken episode was the one that is relatable as many people suffer from unemployment and failure. It leads them to think nothing better will come in the future. The girl who was victim of sexual assault portrayed the victims of the rape accurately and story was also meticulous.

And about the main characters, The story of grim reapers didn’t exist in the present time as we only see past of the characters. but I was more interested in the grim reaper world and their story in the present time. The drama was all about the victims not the main characters. Hence I feel bit disconnected with the characters. I am very dissatisfied with the way park jong gil and ms.koo’s story ended. They made such a big deal out of their past connection and when he finally knew, nothing really changed for them. They didn’t even had a proper conversation about it. It was not satisfying at all. If this was gonna happen, they should’ve revealed their past in the middle of the show. Why drag it all the way to the end. The last episode also had me wanting to see the thread of fate between choi joon wong and Ryu cho hui. They would’ve made a cute pair, but tht part was left to our imagination sadly.

8.5/10 for me; could have rated it higher if Jung Gil had more exposure, instead of having screentime only on the last few minutes of every episode. lol.

Now kidding aside, this may be the first KDrama in a long while that I genuinely enjoyed and didn't make me feel like dropping it or that I didn't skip a lot just to get it over with. There was no character who's too arrogant or too dumb that it annoyed the hell out of me and ruined the show for me, thank god. While I did cry at some point, the drama wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be. Maybe because Joon Woong was spontaneous funny that he became the perfect comic relief, which I personally found nice.

As for the ending, I thought I was going to be underwhelmed because it felt like the last episode went fast. The closure could have been better specially for Ryeon and Jung Gil. Was I really disappointed though? Well, I guess when I saw the last scene, I just thought, 'fuck making sense out of everything'. I was just happy to see them all happy. Or more like, all it took was to see Jung Gil talking to them good naturedly for me to forget getting disappointed. It was nice seeing him loosen up in the end even if it just for a few seconds.

Overall, I'm satisfied. It really has been a while. I'm glad I gave this one a try.

may we call them "suicide squad" even when their goal is different?

You can enjoy this drama to the fullest because there are great actors and the story never get boring. In every episode there a "case" that the protagonists must solve meanwhile their own personal stories unfold and with every episode you can't wait to know more and more. The female lead is strong, gorgeous and vengeful and you can't help but fall in love with the seriousness she does her work. Also you will watch every episode drooling to know about her past. But beware! You will need a lot of tissues for every single episode. Prepare to cry because the main theme this drama talk about is suicide and how to prevent them. Also Rowoon and Lee Soo Hyuk are a pleasure for the eyes.

Tomorrow (2022) - it has its ups and downs. The start off of the drama is really strong and I really like it a lot but I think my momentum was lost. I drop this about 6 episodes, I don’t know the reason behind the drop but I think I just lost interest with the drama. Eventually picked it up again and I literally bawled my eyes out by the start of episode 14 up until the end. It’s heartwarming but heart wrenching at the same time. It’s a good drama but I think I was not fully engaged with the totality since I stopped watching this. It’s still worth the watch and worth my time.

just watch it .. you won't regret

this is one of the dramas that I am giving 10 on 10 rating because I never expected to give a drama like this the rating that I am giving it but this drama has made me cry uncontrollably it has made me smile laugh out loud think about some things

your life is not about tomorrow it's about living in the present is also one of the greatest thing you understand after watching this drama

this drama makes you want to live life and make you enjoy every moments and not regret anything in your life
there might be some things to make this drama not the best but for me it's very great drama and I will rewatch this drama whenever I am feeling low
I don't know this drama made me feel so much... there are lot of people saying that you know this drama is very boring after 6 episode it's very hard to like get through it I didn't feel like it
I am someone who always put the dramas that I am watching at 2x and watch it but this is one those drama that I have never had to watch with higher speed
I loved the past shown and how the depicted the world and how the characters change the clothing according to the time that we are in and all the digital things because the world is now more digital and stuff like that I loved everything about this drama I definitely didn't expect to cry but It did
it was a Happy ending they were a lot of moments swhere I was like why do why is happen to them like they are dealing with a lot of serious topics and they depicted it good enough
I love how the show that even animals can want to take their own life because they don't want the owners to feel sad


This is a perfect example of Korean drama
because this drama talks about a lot of things that happened in Korea even though they are unfortunate things
but this things really did happen and we can't really hide the truth we have to remember them and honour the people that did a lot of things for us
in the end I would tell everyone to watch the drama
cause I loved it
a lot of people were commonly on the age gap and how the actors don't have any chemistry I don't think we watch the same drama I won't lie
they were the whole chemistry lab guys what the hell
they didn't even kiss but the tension between them uff
I loved them ....
the friendship,the regrets,the teamwork,the love,the kindness,the purity,the boss everyone

I love how they depicted that even if someone is bad they will get what they deserve like how a criminal was saved by the RM team but he got what he deserved in the end
I know that most of the time we say like a lot of females get for the deserve they needed to get more but maybe they lived their life haven't to makeup for it in some way or maybe after life we don't know what happens after but maybe they get what they deserve
and there is one concept that I didn't love this that is the people who commits suicide don't go to heaven they go to hell which definitely was not something that I would really expect but it's a cool concept to think about...

Not sure how I feel about this one?

Using my personal rating system of "loved," "liked," "meh," & "nah," this was mostly a “liked”.

Things I liked:
I started watching this for Lee Soo Hyuk and this is one of the few that he’s been in I could actually finish (see my review on ‘Scholar Who Walks the Night’; I’m not criticizing LSH, just rarely finish a drama he’s in). I enjoyed LSH in this. He does stoic bad@$$ very well—but his character also had range and we got to see him happy and sad as well. I liked all the characters, I liked their complexity, I liked their back stories. I like that they took on mental health and suicide—though it is also what made it hard to watch at times. Like most probably, I like the idea of an afterlife where we are rewarded for good and punished for evil.

Things I did not like so much:
Mental health and suicide are not a ‘one and done’ thing. For example, an eating disorder is a lifelong struggle and that episode made it seem like something that got fixed almost instantly. Sometimes I fast forwarded just because the content was triggering.

Honestly, I found myself more interested in the back stories than the stories of the people they were trying to save and often fast-forwarded until we got to back story again. I did not quite get why suicide was treated by that version of the afterlife as something worthy of hell—that seems more consistent with the Judeo-Christian tradition (please correct me if I am wrong if you know more about Buddhism or Confucianism). Especially during the era/country when/where Goo Ryun died, suicide was encouraged and expected of widows and women who had been assaulted (at least that is the impression I get, so please correct me if you understand that history/cultural era better).

Minor point of dislike: The actor they chose to play an adolescent PJG could not have been farther apart in looks and build that his 'supposed' adult self. At that age, LSH could not have weighed more than 100 pounds and that kid looks like he has more muscle than the adult PJG he's supposed to be the younger version of. I get that it is hard to get that right and I'm on the fence about whether I prefer the older actors trying to play their own younger selves or just getting younger actors to do it instead (especially when its adolescents who look so much more like their adult selves than kids do).

I kind of wish there would have been more of a resolution between Park Joong Gil and Goo Ryun. Their ending was a bit ambiguous. You can tell that Choi Joon Woong will eventually get together with his girl since it showed their strings connected, but I wish we could have known what would happen between PJG and GR.

Conclusion:
I don’t know how to think about this one. There were times I sincerely cried, there were things I simply could not watch, there were things I thought were misrepresented and could have been done better. There were also things I enjoyed. If you’re a major LSH fan, I’d recommended it. He does well and looks well in this.

It'$ a MUST

I really enjoyed and loved this show... this was such a good show n different than what i usually watch & it has stayed with me. Koo ryeon's and Joong-jil's storyline broke my heart into tiny lil pieces.He loved her so much to the point of killing anyone saying bad word about her and she loved him enough to kill herself to stop him from suffering. .. and the tension between them was everything and the cherry on top. I truly loved the connection between these characters. But i really wanted at least one kiss or a hug after joong-jil remembered their past..But i'm happy cuz they at least got their closure from their pasts. So i'll just imagine they fall in love as grim reapers and live happily ever after. I must talk about the other characters as well. The combination of Ryeon, Joon-woong, and Ryung-gu as a team is the best i've ever seen. They handled every situation and case so smoothly and some of them were really heartbreaking.. Joon-woong was the most emotional person out of all of them and is very empathetic towards others.. i really liked roowoon's acting in this drama. The team LEADER of RM team Koo Ryeon seems like a grumpy and cold-hearted person but in reality she isnt.. she's just trynna pretend like she's mean and rude but she's soft-hearted person+ heartbroken lover with a really dark past. She’s been a grim reaper for over 400 years as she lived way back from Joseon Era. Ryeon and Joon-woong play the grumpy-sunshine dynamic so perfectly. And as a mentor and team head to Joon-woong, a lot of the life lessons she taught him really touched my heart and resonated with me. Lastly Ryung-gu. I think he's the well balanced one in this team. He also had a dark past but hiding it from everyone else. The only person he can rely on is Koo Ryeon. He just want his mother to live a happy life so he can forgive himself for not being able to save her in thier past lives.. but he could never forgive himself thinking that his mother took her own life bcz of the harsh and rude words that came out from his mouth when he was young. Time passed quickly and he was stoned to death while he was trying to get revenge for his mother's death and was escorted by Kim ryeon for his after live and that's when he decided to be a grim reaper under koo ryeon's lead.

Here's some of the reviews i saw on internet.
(From fueledbychapters.com)

"Joong-gil is hot af. That’s all… I’m half-kidding. He’s mostly stoic and at first, he seemed like the villain, since he’s made it a point to destroy Ryeon and the RM Team. But as the story progresses, we see more of this sympathetic and softer side. I would have really loved to see more of him. If Tomorrow was a 20-episode drama, I wouldn’t mind if it means more screen time for Joong-gil.

Another emotional point in the show was the characters’ backstories. Ryeon, Joong-gil, and Ryung-gu all had a dark past that haunted them and also shaped their personalities in a way. Good thing the ending was satisfying, so my tears paid off well!"


I must say that this drama is fabulous n critically underrated. Especially in SK. I just wish if there's a S2 for this drama. Cuz i miss them already. 'Tomorrow' is one of the best ones this year (well for me). Each amd every ep portray different peperspective of life.. This drama is more about life lessons than a random love story. And it's the best to see when you're sad and hate yourself, bcz the things they say are meaningful and it's the best way to believe in yourself again. It rly showed what a lil love can do if each one of us could just share our hearts sincerely..

The CAST is just wonderful.. no words to say.. they did their job greatly.. in a scale of 1-10 their acting skills are 1000+.....
Specially these ones,
Kim hee sun - Koo ryeon
Ro Woon - Choi Jun-woong
Lee Soo-Hyuk- Park Joong-jil
Yun Ji-On- Lim Ryung-gu
They were just amazing and chemistry between them is just top notch. GOAT indeed.

I dont know about others but this drama caused me some severe trauma fr.. Even tho many months have passed, i still cannot get over this ngl. I rly loved this show n am looking forward for a S2. Hope you guys enjoyed this as well..

Heartwarming, Sad, Hopeful and Amazing

Since I usually prefer dramas that are happy, happy, happy, I was a bit hesitant to watch Tomorrow because of the topic. Suicide is a tragedy and this show would clearly not be full of laughter and cheer. But the reviews were so good that I decided to watch it anyway. And I ended up giving it a 10, which rarely do.

From the unique concept – suicide prevention by grim reapers, of all people – to the touching backstory set in Joseon times, from the flawless acting to the captivating individual stories told in each episode, this drama is heartwarming, sad, hopeful and absolutely amazing. Each episode addresses the question why someone would not want to see tomorrow and take their own life today. Loneliness, bullying, guilt, heartbreak… whatever the reason, we as the viewer understand and feel the character’s pain. And yet, we also see that this is not the solution, that family and friends will be devastated, that there is in fact a tomorrow that is worth living for. Is it a bit too simplistic at times? Perhaps. But the overall message is powerful and uplifting.

I cannot say enough good things about how good the acting was. The four main characters in particular were portrayed sublimely well. I especially loved Kim Hee Sun as the female lead with her passionate approach to her job. And Rowoon was perfect as the accidental grim reaper, idealistic and with a strong sense for justice.

This show is so good that I would absolutely rewatch it and consider it time well spent. Highly recommended. Just be sure there is a box of tissues nearby.
