@SJW  yeah. The whole concept is pretty similar than mystic pop up bar.  So yeah it would be nice if it would be different.

Ep. 6 is really heartwarming, thought I won't cry but I lost it.

Anyway this drama has been really great so far (overlooking all the executions etc).  Joong-gil isn't as heartless as he looks. Like many of you, I look forward to the story behind Joong-gil and Goo-Ryeon and hopefully the misunderstanding between them will be resolved.  Still feeling the love between these two hasn't died.

 

Rowoon's acting is great too, his character adds live and fun to the drama.

 

The moral of the story, lives for tomorrow.

 

I think is that he love her and doesn’t know why she kill herself

@philosophie the drama has a good theme and stories, but the pd team has problems conveying the emotion, the plots in an organized and coherent flow! so far, there isnt much scenes about LJH! wrote about this issue on the first 2 eps. it finally got better in ep6 but it's probably too late as the rating for sbs drama keeps climbing up. tbh, movie pd usually is not good at producing tv drama, and the previous works of the co-pd were not that outstanding either. 

 

read somewhere suspecting mbc might cut short the drama due to low rating! hope it wont happen! they should have aired the drama on weekdays. too much competition on weekend, even the last drama had an avg rating! mbc just naively believing that they will keep the strong rating trend since trs! drama about yi san rarely goes wrong and trs had a very good pd team!

[partyon]

@SJW I wouldn't be surprised if MBC wanted to cut the drama short due to the low ratings, but I find it unlikely. Since it's also on Netflix, I doubt that it would be easy to cut it short at this point anymore.

 

Reading comment sections regarding why this drama is failing a couple of factors keep popping up:

 

1) Rowoon's character is perceived as being annoying and some are even criticizing Rowoon's acting

2) Writing and directing. The pace of the drama is uneven. 

3) Suicide prevention in this drama is deemed as too simplistic

4) A big chunk of the viewers want to see more of the backstory of the reapers while the focus has been more and less solely on the suicide prevention cases

 

Honestly, would they have focused more on Lee Soo Hyuk's and Kim Hee Sun's characters and their story from the start, this drama would be in another situation right now.

The best asset this drama has is the strong chemistry between them.

 

I was discussing with @Sleepy Owl dongsaeng and we both agreed that their story will probably be featured more in the latter half of the drama, but by then it will be too late.

@partyonam not Rowoon's fan but think it's unfair to criticize his acting. the character is a bit annoying in the first 2 eps but feel that this is the pd's direction to make things comedic, like the fighting scene. he is quite balance in both funny and sad scenes. yes, feel like the main characters are like supporting roles in the drama. dont know about the webtoon - does it focus on the cases or focus on the grim reapers? maybe the pd team should have big casts to play out each case. if mbc pays netflix to air on netfilx, guess they can cut short the drama! this is not a netflix production!

 

heard the webtoon was very popular thus attracted this cast to sign on this project. have they finished filming? they should check out mystic pop-up bar to study the flow of the plots. hope the production team can review and re-edit the drama so as to regain viewership!

Am not his fan either, but I have to say that his delivery is not stellar in this drama (just my opinion). Not sure if it's the writing, directing or his abilities but I am not impressed.

True, but there are contracts. Not sure how easy it is to change them at this point anymore.

I agree-at the beginning, I too was fast forwarding a lot. Also my problems were with the ‘rules’ in regards to grim reapers working in the human world. yes, I understand they get a different ‘face’ when they’re working. And all the stuff the show laid out. But it still didn’t make sense to me honestly. Like even the show said about cameras being everywhere, the way they use their powers openly or how when they deal with cases by working with the person like the bullied girl, it makes no sense to me. Because it’s like well isn’t the person gonna ask where they went after? And then even though they were more open with the grandpa about being grim reapers because he was going to die anyway, there were many times when they did abnormal things with previous cases that didn’t seem to keep the secret of grim reapers. I don’t know if I make sense, but it just felt like the ‘laws’ of grim reaper job aren’t as legit as let’s say the story of BLACK or goblin where the boundaries of what a grim reaper could do and keeping their existence a secret from humans made wayyy more sense. It confused me how they could just get the fried chicken, or make someone’s ‘wish come true’. It just doesn’t match with a grim reaper-they should have chosen different supernatural character if they were gonna go this route, fairy godmother, genie, anything but a grim reaper. I get the plot about saving lives instead of just escorting them, but as others have said they have failed to really make an impact on suicide cases because the help in the mental health department Has been lacking, it’s been very shallow with just the grim reaper giving a pep talk every time and voila it supposed to cure someone depression. 

 

but yeah, the thing is this show is a bit episodic. A lot of filler, and I would hate if the show was cut down short because we haven’t even got down to the real story behind main characters because of all the episodes devoted to their job and other peoples story. It’s funny because if they had just focused on main characters, show would be short and sweet it seems since they needed to use all this filler and episodic nature in the first place.

 

Also, I think two extra of the editing is just silly. not even funny or comedic. The fighting scene with (I forget his name, KR colleague that leaves when alarm goes off) how they made it actually do look like a webtoon. At least they didn’t do that with KRs scenes with the loan sharks, that didn’t look cheese at all.

It’s funny cause, my standard for uneven pacing is so low after watching that scam artist show Private Lives. I agree though, I think the problem with flashbacks that if you’re going to do that you can’t scramble around where one we see the historical one with the couple, then the rooftop, then suddenly back back in time when she’s a segeuk reaper vouching for her soon to be colleague (I forget his name, the alarm one), and then again back to the rooftop(I think, we need our own timeline post with all the flashbacks). it’s not coherent because it’s not in order of what happened and that makes it harder for us to follow as an audience because it’s all scattered. Instead, do the scenes in chronological order and let the audience find out without confusion what happened in the past.

 

rowons character is growing on me, I feel bad for him getting the heat of the criticism because I know it’s how his character was written not the actor as a person(he was amazing in Extraordinary You.

and ahhh! I would have loved if this story started with focusing on KR and JG. Especially by starting first with the past then a welcomed time jump to modern day. This show would have beeen SOOO much better omg.

one thing i dont appreciate with the netizens' comment on the "suicide prevention is deemed as too simplistic". it's a very sensitive subject and affects those who struggle with the darkness of suicidal thoughts. it is very possible at a certain moment that they see a light in the darkness and find hope in their despair and are able to pull themselves out of suicide. not sure how complicated the netizens want! think the drama would be too heavy if it gets too complicated.  the drama is based on a webtoon and it has this gadget to assess the suicidal commitment level. it is maybe a bit non-sensible to go from 97% suicidal rate to twenty something % non-suicidal.  they could have just finished each case at the lives got saved without going into the details of their living afterward. the story for each case is too long and has turned the main leads into supporting roles. anyway, i am only focusing on the directing, the flow, the edits of this drama!

[rocher22]

 

That red thread is torn but they are somehow connected again.

This time through the contract.  

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder if Joong Gil is the most powerful team leader in the underworld company.

I agree. Even though I brought up the netizens points in a previous post, I a, not watching a supernatural paranormal show to accurately Do suicide prevention. I think my confusion is in the laws regarding the memory. How do rowons friend be able to remember the fried chicken while not knowing it was magically brought to him? But then say only the old man can remember such kind of details because he is due to naturally die? The plot holes in regards to the supernaturals existence being a secret to humanity is what bothers me if that makes sense, I also agree that the screen time is not being done right. Too much focus on the episodic stories and not the main characters. I want to see more KR and JG. Wish writers knew how compelling their chemistry is to have written proper story with them.

Tomorrow Speculations: Quick Poll

 

A poll is up. Please vote!

The Poll

2. There have been speculation that Koo Ryeon has a son. Who is it.

 

I laughed when I saw the option - Park Joong Gil   

 

I like how the story unfolds and how the main leads are connected from the past.

The story between JG and Ryeon is intriguing but Im also interested how Ryeon and Lim met in the past.

I like the scene from Joseon when Ryeon introduced Lim to JG.

They looked attractive in those clothes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[partyon]

Well, this should make it fairly official that the young man who was getting married to Koo Ryeon is Park Joong Gil!

 

My dear chingu, Mr. Oppa @LeftCoastOppa found this article on Naver that details that the young actor in question indeed was cast to play a young Park Joong Gil.

 

https://entertain.naver.com/now/read?oid=311&aid=0001422159

 

The first question in this poll is now moot. Oops!

 

Good news for all of us who are shipping them!

@sadthe1st @rocher22 @joccu @LeftCoastOppa

 

Is it too much to ask that the PD includes a  hot scene like this? Apparently the original webtoon writer created a separate pic of Koo Ryeon and Joong Gil in a "World of the Married" pose. Seems she is shipping them too (even though that's not happening in the webtoon).
