I understand this point of view, and agree to an extent. I think they could have acknowledged that depression is a disease, and often chemical. But South Korea isn't there yet. It's unfair to judge a piece of media based on where we are a society. The fact that this issue was tackled by a kdrama is a huge step in the right direction, however imperfectly.

As for the cases they did portray, I simply interpreted the story in a different way. That's the beauty of storytelling, it can mean different things to different people.

I think the message wasn't that you need magic to help a suicidal person (the magic was used for certain physical situations, not the actual psychological elements of their help). The message I got was this: "Simply make it to tomorrow." Yes, they pep-talked the people, but it was always just to get them through that specific moment. Then, as I said, they stayed on the app in order to continue that help.

Is it perfect? Of course not. But that is the drawback of a serialized TV show. They don't have enough time to show the work that goes into making it to EVERY tomorrow.

Yes, she remembers. She's the one sending him the free tickets. :)

I think it's implied that they're going to be romantic. She remembers him, so she's the one sending him free tickets to her concerts so they can meet.

I agree with both these statements!! haha

After the first few episodes I thought it seemed like Mystic Pop Up Bar, and the only thing that would make it a perfect match would be if Joon Woong ended up being their son.

Since the Director said that once ties are cut, people are free to form new ties, I assumed that meant new ties can be formed even with people from your own past. These two were lucky that they were forced together in this situation (maybe the Director helped them out by putting them on the same team for a while). I think they would be able to form an attachment before being reincarnated again.

At least, that's what I'm choosing to believe, haha. Because I agree, they deserve it. I think the Director would be rooting for them, and she would pull some strings (pun intended) to make it happen.

In the last episode when Joong Gil asked Goo Ryun if her friend was alive, and if she would try to kill herself again, Goo Ryun said, "No, I won't ever let that happen."

This implied to me that they continued to monitor the cases, even after they saved them. As we also saw with Ryung Goo's mother. She went in and out of the green, but they still watched her.

To address some complaints that the stories were wrapped up too neatly or quickly, at first I agreed (especially with the eating disorder one, where it seemed she was "cured" in one episode). However as the show went on, I realized that we were meant to assume it was an ongoing process. They all stayed in the app, and they were monitored for future activity. For example:

I really enjoyed this! I didn't know what to expect going in, and I was afraid it was going to be dark and gloomy. While it covered serious topics (relating to suicide, so of course it did), and had its fair share of melodrama (the character's backstories), it was still a hopeful, beautiful show.

I loved the relationships between the characters, and I loved the ending.

She always knew. He's the one who doesn't know - he finds out in episode 15.

I agree - Sean is my favourite of his roles. I never thought he was a bad actor, but after Not Me he became one of my favourites.

I would love for Off to be given a role where he gets to be the nice-guy hero the whole way through. :)

Thank you! :)

I'm holding off on watching this one until I know if it has a happy ending or not.

Oh, and without spoiling - I almost fell for that final episode dream / fantasy and was about to be VERY angry at that cop-out ending. I was very happy it wasn't real.

A lovely slice-of-life, more down to Earth, touching love story. Obviously it could have benefitted from more time, but I really enjoyed it as is. I thought the cast did really well bringing to life that natural awkwardness of youth and first loves (and not just the leads - I mean everyone).

The characters were all three-dimensional, which is very hard to pull off in such a short piece.

Exactly! They didn't put in the work, so the message felt hollow.

I don't need shows to be serious or depressing about these issues. They can bring it up in a light, funny way, or go full drama, it doesn't matter. As long as it's backed up and feels genuine, I'm happy. But this just felt like they saw the success of Not Me and were like, "Oh shit, we should throw in some politics, too."

Ah, okay, good to know, thank you.

Great, thank you! :)

Can anyone tell me if there's any romance in this? Even if it's a small sub-plot?

Technically we didn't see a wedding, but they did propose to each other and said yes, so we're supposed to assume they did get married (even though it's not legal in Thailand).

That being said - don't waste your time. This show was such a disappointment.

And @kittyflumpin, yes, exactly. And because I didn't care, those long scenes just made me uncomfortable. :(
