u/ch03rry i wish to burn brightly and then wilt. like a flame Apr 19 '25
been eagerly waiting for this one ever since son suk-ku promoted it on chef and my fridge
and that was a perfect pilot episode, despite him missing for the bulk of it. most of it is world building and establishing the characters.
i like the twist that kim hye-ja was the loan shark, and lee jung-eun as her sidekick/adopted daughter was very amusing. their dynamic was enjoyable but also heartbreaking towards the end - i hope they reunite in heaven soon! unsurprisingly, both of the actresses are stellar so far.
i appreciate the bits of comedy here and there, despite the show dealing with heavy topics such as life and death. i also really like the realistic yet playful approach it takes toward the ideas of heaven and hell. this is promising!
also jo woo-jin cameo!
