Ghost Whisperer KR version
Okay, so the premise made it sound like we were going to get some Ghost Whisperer Melinda Gordon action, and that truly captured my attention as it was my favourite show growing up. The main difference is that this show is significantly more lighthearted and doesn't always focus on Baek Dong Joo. The show does a really good job of balancing heavy elements of death and grief with some light-hearted romance. I enjoyed that every character was able to have some type of spotlight outside of their development with Baek Dong Joo.Kim Tae Hee is the epitome of pathetic (the good kind) as he interacts with Dong Joo and watching them learn and heal together is what made me continue to watch even though the drama went a little off Script.
The ending is extremely bittersweet with an emphasis on Bitter. I would recommend watching this if you're looking for a good heartfelt drama. And I was crying by the end of a lot of the episodes

Heartwarming
‘May I Help You?’ Was a very emotional drama to watch, that I nearly cried every episode. The ending was definitely bitter sweet, but I ended up being fine with it. Honestly speaking this drama wasn’t the best, but it’s good. The expression of love, guilt, fear, will to live, selfishness was so properly portrayed. The whole cast did such an amazing job. I just wished we could had seen more sweet and cute moments between the leads, it looks like the writers forgot that this was also a romance drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Unsatisfying ending
This is going to be a short review because the drama isn't all that complex. It had everything to be unforgettable but I think it lacked complexity as the story progressed. The twists were very simple and not that impactful, although kinda sad. Some characters were left behind as the story progressed and although I liked learning about multiple characters that appeared for just one episode, it became detrimental to the development of the characters we were following throughout the show. I think Move to Heaven did a great job at balancing these "temporary" characters with the development of the main characters – in my opinion, way better than this show. The ending was unsatisfying in certain aspects.Despite all of this, I enjoyed this show because I could binge watch it in two days and not have to think too deeply about it. The chemistry between the actors was what sold it for me, although in the last episodes I feel like their relationship was too underdevoloped and... didn't hit that much? LOL I like sparkling love, and this one was too mature without the fire in it? But I loved both actors and the supporting cast! This show made me laugh and it made me cry and I think it's a good show for a chill weekend.

Charming and interesting main characters, very good romance and more.
The main couple has very good chemistry and there are many heartwarming moments, of course some fluttering ones too, there's a bit of comedy but nothing exagerated so it fits quite well in the composition of the drama, the overall story is pretty interesting so I think it's an enjoyable watch, didn't give a higher rating because there are always better but even if it isn't innovative or very different it has it's own charm so super worth watching.Was this review helpful to you?
Supernatural + light dose of romance= Satisfactory
LIKE:Cinematography, colour pallet, locations and the interiors of the apartments and funeral home.
Wardrobe was appropriate and in good taste.
The FX for sending the people on to heaven were very feel good.
Writing:
the concept of helping both the living and the dead.
The idea behind why FL was ‘gifted special hands’.
I liked the message of being truthful with those close to you, so you don’t have regrets when they are gone.
Music:
was well suited for the scenes and I didn’t notice it being overpowering when actors/actresses spoke. However I didn’t notice anything standing out or really memorable either.
DISLIKE:
Production:
Shaky Camera Syndrome [Someone forgot to activate the film stabilizer!]
Zooming in too close; don’t need to see their nose hair or clogged by makeup pores.
Writing:
Similar concept seen with Mystic Pop-Up Bar and other shows, so nothing new.
The ML and FL are cute for the first portion of the drama, then ML’s trauma shifts the whole show to be about that, before ending with FL trauma. But don’t worry there’s a happy ending, comedy included! Some parts were rushed and it felt a little disjointed. Could also be the editing though. There was some character growth, but we get no definite conclusion for a few supporting characters that were seen throughout the show.
OVERALL:
Very very slow burn for the romance, but we got a little bit of it. Thankfully the comedy wasn’t over the top or frequent. I would recommend it for a supernatural drama, if you are just starting out in this genre. There are better dramas than this, but it is satisfactory and even young teens can watch it. I won’t rewatch it and there were no moments that I wish to see again.

Connecting the trivial meaning of death in a new light
/- Actual Rating: 8.5/10/- Finished this on All Saints Day to bring out a closing to another great series. Though, it was unsettling to think that you beautify the dead before their passing by talking to them one last time. I find it peaceful to imagine our loved ones carry on their final wish without remorse or regrets.
/- This series actively made me understand the comfort of each of us passing on and meeting again (just in another world). So I take it positively to see my still alive loved ones to pass on with lesser burden inside me. This has comforted me well enough that I'd get to see them again soon time and fate decides.
/- A belief-changing and perspective driving one.

Preparem os lenços, não tem como não se emocionar!
Não devemos pensar demais no amanhã, mas viver intensamente o agora, pois não sabemos o que nos espera, e podermos assim deixar de aproveitar ao máximo a vida. Isso foi o que me transmitiu esse Dorama.Numa pegada de sobrenatural, conhecemos uma Prota que consegue se comunicar, ao tocar, com pessoas falecidas, e com isso fazer com que as mesmas possam deixar sua última mensagem. Prepare os lenços, pois cada história, com os falecidos, tem seu toque de emoção.
E mesmo se odiando no começo, os protas não conseguem deixar de se apaixonar. Foi interessante ver o desenvolver dessa paixão. Ela foi, na verdade, o bote salva vidas dele. Pois, vivendo há anos com o sentimento de culpa, ela trouxe cores ao seu mundo.
O desenvolver do enredo foi bem elaborado, e confesso que teve momentos que me conseguiram pegar de surpresa, e olha que é difícil isso.
Só me sinto ainda um pouco incomodada com o “vilão” que eles criaram para o desfecho da história. Eu tinha me simpatizado tanto, no começo, pelo personagem, que essa transformação dele me deixou um pouco deprimida. Há, tinha momentos que eu ficava agoniada com o sofrimento imposto do prota. Sei que ele se sentia culpado, mas reaja meu filho. Viver de alto piedade por muito tempo não era a resposta.
Fiquei surpresa como colocaram uma explicação, onde todas as pessoas que apareceram se conectavam com a personagem, até mesmo o casal principal. Meio que compreendi que como a salvaram, ela seria responsável de prover, da melhor forma, o adeus de cada, como um milagre.
Só não considero um dorama perfeito, já que pra mim faltou algo. Não é aquela história espetacular, mas interessante de se assistir. E senti falta de um pouco de química entre os atores.

Simple yet heart warming
I like how the plot focused on kindness unlike usual revenge theme which I'm kind of sick watching them. It's draining.LIKE
My sudden realisation on why Tae Hee used one arm to save Joon Ho
When the school girl said she regretted not confessing earlier to her crush that made Dong Joo mustered up her courage
When Dong Joo suspected why she couldn't wake Hae An's brother
What Il Sub commented on Hye Jin's case - that statement was very powerful
The real reason why Dong Joo was blessed with her special ability
When Tae Hee and his parents visited Joon Ho - that scene was painful
When everyone was talking about the kind of person Dal Shik was
The moment I realised what Hae An did
When So Ra and Jung Hwa both comforted Dong Joo when she was at her lowest
When Priest Michael found out who was the lady who helped out and visited Dal Shik
DISLIKE
The main leads chemistry is not there but then again this is not a love story
MUSIC - personal fav
Goodbye My Friend - Jamie
Reminiscence - Jung Joonil
Pray - Lee Won Seok
REWATCH VALUE
Seven for now probably re-watching some day.

Completing Wishes Of The Dead
A funeral director and a doctor (due to past trauma, now works for his uncle "A Dime A Job", doing odd jobs) are the basis of the relationship found in this story.I had no expectations nor idea of of where the story will lead me as I watched the first episode. Obviously, from writing of this review, I completed 16 episodes without any difficulty. I found this drama absolutely refreshing and enjoyed so much the representation of lost souls and spirits through Baek Dong Joo, who can communicate with the dead, when she touches them in preparation for their wake and funeral.
"A Dime A Job" Kim Tae Hee becomes the loving and supportive boyfriend to Dong Joo. Sceptical at first, Tae Hee eventually becomes her biggest supporter as she tries to complete the last wishes of the dead.
Every episode was entertaining and the un-folding of Tae Hee's past also kept the drama going. Lots of good stories which pulls at your heartstrings. I enjoyed this drama thoroughly.

WONDERFUL SERIES
I see everybody has different tastes by the reviews.I only watched this because of the ML (just recently watched him in a series and I liked him so had to watch it)
I read the description and thought it may be goofy or simply not good!
But I loved this series! It had a few good twists too, but most of all I thought it was very sweet and I loved how they wrapped it up in the end explaining all the people that died and the ones that lived because of how they were saved. OMG it was amazing!
I cried many times through the series, but loved loved loved it.
I enjoyed the ML , FL., the Father, the Priest and the Uncle. Good cast I thought.
I only rated "rewatch" low because I rarely rewatch a series.
I think this is a worth watch, but of course everybody has different tastes.

Not perfect but BEAUTIFUL
before you judge. Read my review till the end.The drama overall is full of loophole. Like no explanation for certain things and you have to make your own conclusions. Some characters are really unnecessary and don’t have a closure they deserve like the ML ex girlfriend.
Some characters, you will only find the reason and explanation on last episodes. So you might have to remember back who is em and what from 1st episodes.
But overall. The drama is very relaxing. The FL is a very positive person with positive aura. I love the father daughter relationship. The ML is not really that typical successful ceo arrogant vibe kind of ML. But instead he just a normal human. And i love the uncle nephew relationship too. But best relationship is the priest and uncle relationship. Huhu. Overall i love the drama.
It was beautifully done for the relationship part. Not so much on drama suspense and plot twist. The drama actually focus on the FL who can see the dead. And in every episode, you have to be bear with the heartbreak. So prepare some tissue.
When I thought we will be all happy in episode 16, yup we lost one of best character ever. And he is the last person that the FL has to send. And it was soo beautifully done.
All living will end-up with death. And not everyone got 2nd chance. Not every love is explainable. And we don’t have all time in the world to show, appreciate and tell someone we love them.
All in all. In the midst of 21 loss and tragedy, there is a miracle. And our FL is the centre of that miracle even when she didn’t realise it or know it. This drama is funny one part. Sad and tearjerker too. Slice of life too. And teach you bout love and life too.
Everything and everyone you love. Will be gone. So show them your love before it is too late. We always thought we have soo much time on our hands, so we think it is okay to “wait” and “later”. But what if we don’t have that “later” ??
I’m gonna call my father. And my boyfriend after watching this drama. Hahahahha
And all this remind me of a song call “tunjukkan cintamu” by nosstress.

this drama is so underrated!
I started this drama with no expectation, I just wanted to see a drama with Lee jun young tbh(sorry not sorry 🥰) , and it turned out to be one of my favourite of 2025. The story is original and the acting is incredible honestly I felt so good and I CRIED (a lot )during this drama. It’s very moving because it talks about the death and the grief which is something everybody went through at least once duringhis life. I loved it so much and I hope my review will convince you to see this masterpiece !❤️Was this review helpful to you?
