If you present an awful message, at least be entertaining to cover it up.
These 4 episodes commit 3 grave mistakes: questionable takes on serious issues, painfully repetitive story, extremely dumb main character that they tried to cover up with the cast and good production . The only thing I truly got from it was boredom and frustration.
The whole idea of suicide being a sin is simply gross to me. What it means is being sick is sinning. It’s like saying someone who has Tourette syndrome that leads them to say profanities is rude and ill-mannered. They are not. These are the result of their disorder. And I think the drama could have been saved, if they focused not on him committing suicide, but how his act killed an innocent person. That I could partially understand. Saying suicide is a sin though - that’s just uneducated statement from people who know little to nothing about psychology and human’s mind. What you are saying is - being sick is a sin. Maybe reevaluate your opinion.
As for the repetitiveness - where to even begin? The whole being reborn in a new body was fun for the first three deaths, after that it became boring. The way almost all deaths were linked to greed made me roll my eyes so bad. Who gives a fuck about the complexity of human’s experience I guess. Not the writer, that’s for sure. All the reincarnations ended before they truly began, nothing was explored, there was no depth to anything. Extremely simplistic and basic. It lacked excitement and the cause of it was mostly the 3rd mistake: the male character.
Now, being perfectly honest, I think I was the most offended by how dumb the male lead was. Here’s the thing - his suicide was not a selfish act itself. That said, he was a selfish person. Egocentric to the core. Lacking any understanding of other people’s perspectives. And so painfully dumb. Did he even want that second chance? At some point I was almost convinced he started to enjoy dying since he did not really do much to survive in any of the bodies. He focused on random things that were insignificant, was always led by his impulsive emotions and never made any proper plans and back-up plans. He was overconfident in his non-existing skills.
There is not much to say about this part 1. I’m completely not interested in watching part 2.
Sure, the drama was visually well produced and the cast did an amazing job with the characters they were playing. So what, when the writing was mediocre?
Overall, I would not recommend it.
