Exciting, Well-Paced and Unique
TL; DR: While Dear Doctor, I’m Coming for Soul isn’t perfect, it is an exciting supernatural hospital drama with a satisfying conclusion.
WOW. I literally have been avoiding this drama because of the low ratings but I don’t know what people were on rating this so low.
It’s not perfect, but I felt like it was a well-paced, well-scripted take on a killer/healer storyline. And the ending is lovely, only a little bit bittersweet with a lot of hope.
It’s a unique storyline and I personally found the conflict quite exciting. I anticipated every episode and devoured this show in a couple days.
The characters, even more antagonistic characters, are fully fleshed out and three - dimensional. It’s really not something you see very often but everyone had complete characters arcs over the course of the show.
There are a couple of flaws, such as the moral back and forth. It was a bit annoying when Prakan went back and forth about whether or not he was okay with Tua being a Soul Reaper. It lasted a few episodes and I was kind of just like, dude use your words, you’re an adult.
Acting was also a little bit lacking at times and didn’t pack the emotional punch it needed to. I’m a crier and I unfortunately didn’t feel enough to cry. That being said, the leads actually did have good chemistry, so points for that 100%.
One thing I wish they talked more about, Tua is not killing these people lol. The show keeps acting like he is. He is just guiding them to the afterlife. I feel like they should have shown what happens when a soul isn’t guided or something to express why this role is important.
The ending, I personally thought was perfect for this show. It is the happiest possible ending they could have given in this plot. Is it sad that Tua has to wait every 20+ years for Prakan to reincarnate? Yes. Is it also super romantic? Absolutely yes. It’s bittersweet and lovely that Tua watches his lover grow old, helps guide him to the afterlife, then waits to do it all over again (which is absolutely what is implied by the ending).
Really solid, satisfying endings are hard to come by in BL (and most shows in my opinion). This one was so well-paced and fitting that it solidified this show as a higher ranking for me.
I absolutely would recommend.
