Refreshing and fun concept with a very good cast

The first two episodes definitely set this drama to a good start. We've seen many types of Grim Reaper-themed and similar kdramas but I personally hadn't seen any focusing on Grim Reapers that actually protect people from death before. It's a very unique concept and has a lot to explore.

We have many things to look forward to with this drama, starting from the backstory of Koo Ryeong - where she came from, what she did to end up there, what her purpose is - to Choi Junwoong's adventure as a "half-half" Grim Reaper, as well as who Ryunggoo is searching for, the story between Koo Ryeong and Joonggil, and of course the side stories that we'll be getting with every new case.

I personally enjoyed the first two eps a lot, but also think that this could be a bit hard to watch for someone who is struggling with suicide, or has suicidal thoughts, like the content warning at the beginning of ep 1 stated. The bullying scenes in the first eps were a bit too much, even for me who has seen many high school-themed kdramas where everything is about bullying. So I'd recommend you to be careful with this drama if these topics trigger you.

About the bullying scenes - it bothers me that nowadays it's very hard to avoid bullying scenes when watching a kdrama. Even something unrelated to high school or bullying (like a Grim Reapers kdrama) will have at least one scene or mention of high school bullying. Of course it's not present in every kdrama, but it is in a considerable amount. I know bullying is a serious problem in Korea and that's exactly why they show it, but I wonder if they really do anything positive by doing it. They're just showing how much the victims suffer, but in reality it doesn't really contribute much in preventing any more bullying.

Anyway, that was just a random thought. 'Tomorrow' is definitely raising my expectations as there are many things to look forward to in the plot, and that's what I will be doing for sure!

PS. All the main characters' names are very similar to each other and it looks funny in Korean (구련, 준웅 중길 령구).

Skinshipy high school drama

I won't get into much detail because I rarely get inspiration to write a review lately, but I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of skinship and kisses and 0 awkwardness between the leads considering this is a high school drama, it even got a bed scene? School 2017 and its approximately 0 kisses could never.

I loved all the characters with all their flaws and even the evil ones. Besides KSJ turning into a b*tch, I feel like everyone had a reason to be. I hated what they did to KSJ but the redemption kind of felt good, although pretty rushed.

LJG and LSH are definitely meant for each other and I loved how their relationship was really pure, genuine and healthy, despite the parting and occasional secrets. HSJ definitely deserved better and my heart hurt for him a lot, but I agree with some commenters saying that him and JG weren't really a good match. I know they date for a long while in the webtoon, but for what we got in the drama, they would just not match.

I'm with most people on this: it wasn't the best drama, wasn't all that great, many clichés and ridiculous moments, but I enjoyed it a lot and it kept me watching for a long while. It's still very funny to me that all LJG had was some acne, pinkish skin and eyebrows, yet people acted like she transformed herself 100%. Still, I would recommend this drama for a light and fun watch with some drama going on.

Hopeful future for K-BLs

As some other people have stated, I was also a bit skeptical when I heard that there was a Korean BL, but I knew I had to give it a try and I totally loved it. It was such a cute story that, although full of cliches, managed to deliver nice emotions and a feel-good type of ending.

I really loved the combination of the characters' personalities, their realization of love and how they fought in their own ways to be on each other's side.

Since this was such a short story, the going abroad and forced breakup wasn't really annoying, and instead it actually felt like it was the right way to build the story up. I loved their final encounter and how they were still so into each other.

Really cute story, I just wish we could get at least a season 2 to get more of Han Tae Joo and Kang Gook.

This drama is weird and makes no sense. I hardly finished the first 4 eps and the story got a tiny bit interesting but I still don't know if I'll keep watching. There are so many good airing dramas that it'd feel like wasting my time.

The transformation from cat to human and vice versa part makes no sense in this drama as when he's a human he has no issue to adapt to human life and the fact that he has a human mind while being a cat makes me so uncomfortable, considering that she took her clothes off in his presence as a cat, she may shower or go around naked in front of the cat but Hong Jo is aware of human life while being a cat. That's... Not okay.

Seo Ji Hoon's character is kind of annoying but I already feel like I will be rooting for him so much more than for Myung Soo's character, it just makes much more sense to me.

Also, when Hong Jo was a human boy, Kim Sol Ah was already an adult? I guess it's the cat age vs human age, but even so, Hong Jo is technically a human boy even if he's an adult cat... Nonsense.

Shin Ye Eun's character is meh but she's pretty and seems like a good actress, so I think that's the only good thing I can point out of this drama so far.

Even if this is a fantasy drama with a ridiculous premise, there are so many things that make no sense even folllwing the logic of the drama itself. I wasn't excited for this drama but I'm an Infinite fan so I feel like I should watch it, but it's already so messy.

One word: Soft

Only 2 episodes in but I already love it a lot. It may feel slow but that's just how the drama is. So far the story is simple, there aren't many things to look forward to for the plot to develop, but somehow you still want to keep watching.

Seo Kang Joon is one of my favourite actors, so this was definitely a must-watch on my list, and he looks just ad beautiful as he always does. The softness of his character fits him well.

Park Min Young usually does similar characters, and although this one may look like just another one, there is something different about it. Probably the softness of the drama. She looks very cute too and so far the chemistry between her and Kang Joon is really good.

I'm looking forward to the following episodes so bad.
