Tomorrow was an emotional rollercoaster that I am glad that I got on. It was from the very beginning, full of lore and story to unpack and instantly had me hooked. According to statistics, Korea is the leader in suicide rates and this group of Grim Reaper's help to bring that down. Dealing with heavy topics such as sa, bullying, miscarriage, etc.. it can be draining, but rewarding to watch.

-- Spoilers Below --

Goo Ryun is one of the most bad-ass female front leads I have ever seen in a drama. The way her character is written and her backstory adds such a layer of depth and Kim Hee Sun did an amazing job putting that all on display. Her pink hair and eyeshadow sticks out and her attitude is cold, but she cares deeply and loves saving others from the Hell that she went through.. literally. When it finally came to figuring out her entire backstory, I felt for her on another level than I already did. Her committing suicide, feeling like she had no other way to end her suffering, helped so much with how she saw and dealt with the people she was trying to save. I wish that her and Park Joong-Gil had gotten together in some sense again, but it felt good with the story as to how they left it since their fate had been severed when she died.

Choi Joon-Woong was an amazing character and I loved how deep he felt his feelings and let them show. He wasn't afraid to stand up for what he thought was wrong and right, and was never hesitant to help someone in need. Although he is only in the group temporary until his life is over, I wanted him to stay there forever sadly. I know he wanted to go back to his mom and live out the rest of his life, but being with Goo Ryun and Ryung-Gu he seemed to be so happy. I feel that although he is one of the main characters, the story doesn't follow his mysteries as much as it does the other reapers and their backstory. They just use him to tell and put together the puzzle of what happened hundred of years ago for them to get there. I did love how they threw in that he himself also had lived past lives and was intertwined with both Goo Ryun and Park Joong-Gil.

Lim Ryung-Gu had to of been my favorite character besides Goo Ryun. His backstory was incredibly heartbreaking and had me sobbing the entire time. His desire to see his mom and lead her safely and happily through her lives was so incredibly sweet. I wish that he could have been a little more prominent in the first few episodes, but after his backstory he pops up a lot more. Him finally getting to tell his mom and reunite with her and apologize was heartwarming and I was so glad that after many decades he was able to get the closure that he needed to end his pain. I loved his attitude that he had for the victims, and would do anything to make sure they were safe. He takes matters into his own hands, but always looks out for his friends and coworkers like they are family. I love how close he was with Joon-Woong and Goo Ryun. Her leading him to his end and to eventually work under her definitely added to their already close bond.

I had such a hard time liking Park Joong-Gil and then I started to like him right at the last 2 episodes. He is the collector of souls.. a very cold man that hardly shows any feelings other than distrust, disgust and disdain for anything and everything that gets in his way. I had hoped that they would get to his backstory and why he felt so drawn to Goo Ryun sooner, but it ties all up at the end of the show. He has been battling nightmares.. one that has Goo Ryun in it, but through constant miscommunication between the two of them and Goo Ryun making a deal to keep it a secret from him it ends in a mess that could've been awful. He has resentment for people that take their own life, and takes this out on Goo Ryun. Forcing her to watch a car run over the woman she is trying to prevent from taking her life. While she gets her revenge and he gets her almost sent back to Hell, Joon-Woong tells him to look for himself. He eventually figures out him and Goo Ryun were married and lovers, but when she took her life it wounded his soul so badly that he was still not over it 2 reincarnations later. He helps her to save the woman and they eventually forgive each other and end it on that he finally understands the importance of their team.
