What would you do with a second chance?
You've been working so hard all your life, but just when you reach out to someone needing help, everything comes to an end. Lost and hopeless, you get a second chance to prove your value by learning how much life is worth living.When I saw in the cast list the lovely Rowoon and immidiately thought fo my precious Haru (character from Extraordinary You), and watching the trailer I bielieved it would have been a funny kdrama, something not so deep and thoughtful. Well, I was wrong.
This drama keeps you up with a smile just to throw the rought reality in front of your face as hard as it can. The backstories and the link between the main characters, but also the stories of the people they have to help make you simpathize with them.

A Powerful Reminder That Life Is Always Worth Living
Life is one of the most valuable gifts we are given, and this drama delivers that message in a deeply moving and meaningful way. It reminds us that life should never be taken lightly or sacrificed because of someone else or even because of our own struggles. No matter how difficult things become, life itself is precious and worth protecting.Each episode of this drama highlights the importance of valuing one’s life. It strongly conveys that choosing suicide due to any reason is wrong. While pain, hardship, and emotional struggles can push people toward dark thoughts, the drama emphasizes an important truth: in the end, only you have the power to save yourself. No one else can do it for you. Putting your life at risk because of circumstances or other people is never the right choice.
The show explains this message in a very deep and impactful manner. As a viewer, you constantly feel how precious life truly is. The storytelling is so engaging that there wasn’t a single episode I felt the need to skip. Even though the episodes are nearly an hour long, they never feel stretched or boring. From the beginning to the end — not just of individual episodes, but of the entire show — it keeps you completely hooked.
What makes the drama even better is how well it balances its heavy theme with warmth and emotion. The small moments of comedy, the strong friendships, the mutual understanding between characters, and the genuine care they show for one another add depth and realism to the story. These elements make the message feel natural rather than forced.
Overall, this drama is truly very good. It is not just entertaining but also meaningful, thought-provoking, and emotionally impactful. It leaves you with a deeper appreciation for life and reminds you why it should never be taken for granted.

Surely one of the best dramas of 2022!
This drama shows a different side of Grim Reapers and that is what got me hooked. When I started it, I literally had no idea what I was getting myself into and honestly I'm so glad I watched it. Every episode had a story to tell and an issue which was dealt with, wonderfully. This isn't like our regular dramas and that is what makes it special. Almost every episode had me bawling in a corner and I don't regret it one bit.The cast... So well done!!! Rowoon literally nailed his role and I don't think could've pulled it off that well. This was my first time seeing Kim Hee Seon and Yoon Ji On and they were brilliant! Also whoever came up with the idea of casting Lee Soo Hyuk needs to be applauded!! The man may have had only a few minutes of screentime in some episodes but he owned every single of them...
Like I mentioned earlier, this is a drama that's one of its kind. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I put it on hold for a few days because of my exams. If you're not sure, watch the first episode and that should pretty much get you interested.
Happy Viewing! :)
Note: The main topic and some others that they dealt with, may be triggering for some viewers so proceed with caution in case you wanna watch the drama.

The best drama in this whole world
Out of all the 150 ish kdramas I have watched , this drama is still my favourite one. It is just so beautiful. It shows how much effect few kind words , a small action has on a person's life. It shows how much people go through in real life and the sun will come out after a stormy day. You can't hate anyone in this drama, you will FEEL for the main characters as well as the side ones. Stories of real people with real problems. No drama apart from youth of may has made me cry this much,If I could I would give all the stars in the world to this drama and it's characters.Was this review helpful to you?
Tomorrow is fantastic!
This show is a roller coaster ride of emotion! Acting A+, story A++, so much to love! Last episode had me on the edge of my seat! LoveLoveLove!!! Each episode was a gift of a wonderful story and the unfolding of the grim reapers stories. When I say I spent the last episode yelling at the tv I am not joking and the ending was so much better than even I was expecting! Fighting! Each week brought me to tears, especially the war vet and the dog. Then you have the reapers back story that was totally u expected and made you love each of the main characters just that much more.Was this review helpful to you?
10000/10! ?
i usually don't write reviews about kdramas that i've finished watching, but this one is an exception; it has a unique storyline that holds a very deep and relevant meaning. i usually watch rom-com kdramas, but this one doesn't really have heavy romance in it, though i kept watching because of the lessons in each episode (which is one of the things that makes this kdrama are very good one to watch). i like how the kdrama mostly reveals the past and the after-lives of each person centered in that specific episode because it makes you understand their character and why they are what they are in that given moment. the ending was a bit disappointing but i saw it coming. overall, i enjoyed it, it got me hooked every weekend from the moment this series aired on netflix, i really recommend this!Was this review helpful to you?
Must Watch
One of the best drama of this year. I appreciate the message they want to convey through the stories they showed. Each and every story holds special meaning. I got emotional in almost every episodes.
All the actors did Superb job. They did justice to their characters. Their past stories were so painful yet worth watching. I really liked Kim hee sun's role, her work is absolutely admirable. I love how Lee so hyuk's attitude changed towards those who commits Suicide.
Worth watching drama, loved it. Kudos to all those who've worked hard in this show. Everyone did a great work.
It's so sad that this Kdrama has all those bad ratings just because of some toxic fans. I'm an Army too but it hurts watching this stupidity. To all those people PLEASE GROW UP!!! You're making us look really bad.
I really hope people learns good things from this drama.

Heart tugging Kdrama
Woah... This kdrama just...Wow.Amazing acting and a really good plot. Usually plots like these are really hard to execute well but this is really well done. A good balance between humor and being serious. Talking about suicide is never easy let alone showing strong emotions like that on TV,,, The cast did such a well job. It can be a hard watch if you struggle with those thoughts yourself but as someone who struggles as well, this really did change my perspective on some things. BTW this will make you cry every episode....

Red Light is a great song! (wanted to complain a bit about the lack of discussion around therapy)
So first, as I finished watching the drama (binged in two days lol), I immediately looked up the OST and saved Red Light into my playlist. I still have no clue who J.DON is, but I loved his voice and the upbeat rap song that he wrote! Red Light is now on my faves playlist and it'll probs be there for a while.Another thing, the drama was pretty good - there were great performances by the lead characters and the plot lines were great - but I was left confused after every episode why it was portrayed like a person struggling mental health is something that can be solved by one conversation. I personally wish they spoke more about getting continuous help and lowering the stigma around therapy, but because I am not from Korea, I don't know what the current culture around therapy is and if it is even accessible to those who are not well-off.

Keep your tissues in handy.
I just completed watching this. So I am having the aftermath of watching this.It came in 2022, It was always in my watch list but I didn’t give it a try afraid it may disappoint me.
But it was amazing. I cried a lot while watching this. It shows the pain of people who are committing suicide.
If anyone haven't watched it you can give it a try!!

Main characters’s story stated way too late
Main lead characters are secondary in the showThe first episode is not very intriguing but once you get past it, the shows gets interesting. Then again the show gets boring around episode 5. I know the story revolves around grim reapers dealing with suicide cases but watching different stories with the same plot gets dragging . We know someone will try to suicide and RM team will save them and same plot repeats in every episode. It gets boring and predictable . I feel like the main leads had barely any story. If you watch episode 2 and then skip it to episode 8, you’d barely miss anything. Because the main leads don’t have much of a story going on in present time. We do see their past in the last episodes but that was just too late.when the interesting part started, show ended. Yes, last 4 episodes were the most interesting out of all the show.
I watched the show for Lee soo hyuk and we barely see him in the 1st half of the show. Even rowoon barely seems to have his own story going on.
Apart from that some stories were way too intense.. Writer could've lighten up by adding some comforting episodes . But I get the message of the show that words and attitude can have a huge impact. It’s good for one time watch.
