JOURNEY OF GRIEF, LOVE, AND HEALING
This story tells Hee Wan, a young woman who has been living in quiet despair since losing her first love. When Kim Ram Woo suddenly returns as a reaper, he tells she only has a week left to love, and together they set out to complete her final wishes. Along the way, old memories resurface, friendships deepen, and Hee Wan begins to rediscover what it means to live fully even with limited time.
Kim Min Ha carries this role with a rare honesty. Her tears feel unguarded, her silences are weighted with loss, and her moments of joy feel like hard won sunlight. She made me ugly cry more than once. What also stands out is the way friendships are allowed to grow naturally, offering warmth and quiet support that balance the heavier emotions.
The OST lingers beautifully in every scene, with melodies that fit like a second voice to the characters’ emotions, and with just six episodes. The pacing is perfect, no filler, no dragging, simply a story that unfolds directly and meaningfully. Grief in this drama is not something that disappears, it shapes how Hee Wan lives, how she withdraws, and how she eventually learns to open up again. By the end, her development feels profound, she doesn’t overcome grief in a sweeping moment, but she finds the courage to carry it with her, to reach out again, and to turn farewell into something hopeful.
All in all, this drama is a deep drama that gives you emotional satisfaction, reminding us how love, loss, and connection can define a life, even when time is running out. Definitely worth a rewatch if you need a good cry.
