Learning to Love, Live and Letting Go!

Stories that intertwine life and death are never easy—they are hauntingly beautiful, carrying the weight of emotions that linger long after the final scene. From the start, the presence of second chances and grim reapers walking the living world sets the stage for an emotional rollercoaster. And this drama delivers, excelling in storytelling, performances, and an emotional depth that leaves you with both tears and smiles.

I have always been drawn to narratives exploring life, death, and what comes after. In reality, I often find myself reflecting on existence—on my own life, those around me, and the inevitability of time passing. The memory of loved ones I have lost stays with me, making me wonder how life would have unfolded had they been here, how they would perceive the world today.

So when I saw this drama, I felt an immediate pull but tempered my expectations. The inclusion of high school romance gave me pause, as I have long outgrown such themes. Yet, it exceeded my expectations, not only in its narration and performances but in how it addressed the universal truth—embracing life, death, and everything in between. Every character played a meaningful role, much like in real life, where each person contributes to the unfolding of our own stories.

Special credit goes to the leads—the FL seamlessly transitions between the lively high-schooler and the sorrowful adult, while the ML embodies both warmth and wisdom, a kind soul turned grim reaper. Through their journey, the drama reminds us that life is never easy. There will always be highs and lows, moments where it feels unbearable, when giving up seems like the only option. But it teaches us that our story does not end there—there is more to live, more to love. As Master Oogway wisely said, “Life is a gift, and that’s why they call it the present.” — this drama beautifully echoes that sentiment!

This review might feel personal, but I believe that is the greatest testament to the drama’s emotional power—it makes you feel, reflect, and connect on a deeply personal level.

In essence, this drama is a poignant portrayal of friendship, family, second chances, forgiveness, and finding the courage to live while accepting death when the time comes. It is rare to find a drama that blends such profound themes so seamlessly and if you cherish stories that explore the raw truths of life and death, then this is a must-watch. 100% recommended!
