How's life...? Good
How would i define this drama? A slice of life drama mixed with fantasy about the personification of death learning to love a human with a terminal ilness, humans and life itself. And the human learning to love that personification of death and life at the same time.
Let me start this review by saying if you are asking yourself “I'm going to like this drama if I watch it?” my answer will be I don't know because like everything in life there is people who love it and there is people who don't.
Do I believe the first episodes are worth the try to, then you should decide if continue or not? Yes I do. In my opinion I think the first 4 episodes are good they have an interesting story line great lines great deliver of lines good main characters good acting and a good OST.
It's this drama worth of my time as a whole? For me it was. But there is something about this drama it's a fantasy drama BUT it's not your typical fantasy drama with a constant villain trying to destroy the main characters. So if you are looking for a drama with a villain and action maybe it won't be for you.
Now I enjoy it, I spend a good time watching it. I may not had watch 500 k dramas but I have watch TV shows and movies all my life from the US, from every country in Latin America, from Spain, Turkey and more and a lot of them were fantasy and i still enjoy it.
Why I enjoy it?
* I personally enjoy something with good main characters than badly written main characters and a lot of nonsense plot. The main characters are well written in my opinion and EXCELLENT 10/10 acted.
* There is a lot of depth and thought put into this drama. The story doesn't treat me (the audience) as dumb.
* They were sad moments yes I cry even tho I'm not a crier at all, but they were also a lot of funny and heartwarming ones and I HAVE A GOOD TIME! If I look back I have a good time watching this live.
* The ending was good it didn't had any low blow or something out of nowhere and lately I appreciate a good ending.
* The main romance was great. I have been watching media with this type of hate to love romance a lot is something I enjoy and have fun watching and for me it was well-made not boring neither problematic either I adored them.
* The non romantic relationships were great as well every relationship the FL has with her family is well written and acted.
Why I watch it?
I was looking since the start of the year for a drama to watch live since I spend all 2020 watching already finished dramas. But I drop many. I never watched anything with these actors.
What I dislike?
* As some people mention here the “love triangle”. For me? I'm tired of love triangles I found them useless and besides that both male leads here were just not well handle. Specially the character of Joo Ik he was not well written or handle at all. But this is not the first and probably won't be the last I dislike second leads characters I didn't skip their romantic scenes but when I re-watch I probably will.
I always write reviews in my mother language for google but something evoke this drama in me for want to write it here.
So in conclusion I believe you should try to watch it if you don't care that much about villains and action. If this isn't your cup of tea then you can stop watching.
I don't found it a waste of time or potential at all I'm glad this drama exist. I'm glad to see this two talented actors paired together and see their characters develop for the past weeks. And I'm glad i watched it.
Thank you for reading.
