Please Come Back, Mister (2016)

Most comments about this series on drama sites are about it being hilarious. Honestly, I just watched it because I wanted to find something I can watch with my brother. The next thing I knew, we were both caught line and sinker. By the fifth episode, I couldn't understand why this was even labelled as comedy. The story line is original. The scenes are unpredictable. The acting, even of those with supporting characters, is great. There were loopholes at the end but with the emotion overflowing, you wouldn't even have energy to question them. All in all, a must watch for the whole family.

Loved this drama. It felt like this drama suffered from multiple personality disorders. One minute it leaves you laughing, another you are sad, next you're angry, crying, then laughing again. Enjoyed it so much and all the actors did a great job. didn't get a picture perfect ending but I still think it was a good ending. Great story and great connections how the story and the main people that died all related to each other. If I wrote my review sooner I would have more to say but I forgot to, so weeks later so I'm going to keep my review simple and say watch this you will enjoy it.

Story: The first brownie point of this drama goes to the story. At first I thought it was about ghosts who posses bodies like on "Oh My Ghostess" or "Master's Sun", but I was wrong. This drama is nothing like the ones I mentioned, because here the two protagonists really get a second shot at life but it is not for long, because otherwise everyone would want to die to get a second chance in the body they've always wanted to be born into. This fact alone brings many funny situations that create enjoyable havoc in the world of the drama, like no other project has managed to do lately from those on the list I wanted to watch; believe me, I rarely laugh. Come Back, Mister has an entangled story but it is full of twists and turns and I literally watched without expecting what would happen on screen, which is another good point because it is hard to find a writer who is able to write something that doesn't annoy the audience. Each point that the drama puts of there, is resolved in a way you wouldn't expect, leaving you wanting more. It was also good how the romance was handled. This drama wasn't a romcom, it was more about the love (or hate) of the characters for their loved ones and family. There is a LOT of bromance and sister love (can be called sis-mance?!) and that is the major romance that you'll find in the story but it is written in a way that you won't miss the *actual* romance, because everything is like it is for a reason, and it was way more realistic than those love stories where the characters kiss after four episodes. Couldn't understand why this didn't have higher ratings. The actors were all good, the story too, it wasn't messed up like other ones! Plus, everything is kinda explained at the end.

Acting: The acting was great on all sides. Even the kid actors were good. We had veteran actors like Kim Soo Ro and Kim In Kwon who created a strong bromance between the main *dead* leads and younger actors like Rain who was able to be funny and comedic but also show a melancholic side of his character. His friendship with Oh Yeon Seo's character was really believable and she also was able to pull off a manly character reborn as a woman. Her scenes with Rain are one of the funniest of the drama, haha. Lee Min Jung seemed more like a second lead in this drama. Compared to other of her works, she was quite laid-back. On this drama we also had Choi Won Young who plays yet another insecure and manipulative character. Like on "I Remember You" where he played a psycho, this part suits him very well. Hope in the future he acts in a drama where he is not crazy, though!

Music: The music suit the mood of the drama very well. There were sentimental songs for the sad/reflective/longing scenes and pop music for the funny moments or the fight scenes - yes, this drama also has action!

I would advise to watch this drama if you're looking for a compelling story that comprehends action, comedy, drama. It has them all, and they also combine quite well because you discover things step by step and they don't seem to be thrown out there. If you want a romantic story stay away, because there is the love but it is a more of a family and friendship kind.

So, I started watching this drama because it was on my watchlist for a long time. It was pretty descent when it started, with a nice plot and interesting characters. One I reached the first kiss scene of the drama, I am not exaggerating, I BROKE MY BED! I got super excited and started jumping up and down and the whole thing broke. People who know what scene I'm talking about probably understand why that scene could get me excited. I've rewatched that scene quite a few times. Probably best kiss scene in the history of dramas.

This is a must watch drama. It's the perfect blend of funny and sad. I am 9 episodes in, and I am seriously debating staying home from school tomorrow so I can binge the rest. Priorities! For anyone that hasn't watched this masterpiece yet, you are missing out on an experience of a lifetime. DROP EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING, GRAB SOME TISSUES AND SNACKS, AND START YOUR MARATHON!

I have to say, even though I expected a bit more it was still an interesting ride. I don't think I have ever seen a kdrama, where the both leads (1st and 2nd) were the opposite gender but were not in a romantic relationship (except for Chief Kim, but the female lead wasn't really the second lead but more like the third lead, so basically the leads were both make in that one). I started this thinking we'd see Rain and Oh Yeon Seo in a romantic relationship but I am quite satisfied with their bromance (?). To be honest, sometimes the plot wasn't that planned or written out well, it felt messy at times and I skipped a lot, but I was still curious of what would happen, so that's a positive thing.
The actors did a great job though. I am honestly surprised at Rain's actin skills, he should definitely do more romcoms, it suits him incredibly well!
The ending scene was such an unexpected but cute scene that made my heart wrench a bit. I really ship Young Soo and Da Hye. And btw tht y'all notice that Seung Jae's wallpaper on his phone showed him and his mom and his mom was Maya! (but then i'd be weird if she fangirled about him, except she forgot who she was in her past life/she pretended)
All in all, in my opinion this show is very unique in it's character constellation and especially the chemistry between them.

This drama really takes you from laughter to tears!

I wasn't convinced about this drama, the first episode didn't help, but after the second I was hooked.

The story is overall a bit complicated, but it unfold at the right pace and it stays clear all along. It is interesting and somewhat surprising for the whole drama.
The mix of genres will not be to everyone's taste, but the supernatural elements are well played and balanced. It doesn't dwell into the cliché cheesy supernatural elements and stays somewhat realistic.

The main actors are amazing, they're always spot on. Oh Yeon Seo as a male trapped in a female body is just perfect.
I hadn't noticed it when I started watching, but so many of those secondary characters are among my (and probably everyone's) favorites.
Ra Mi Ran is beyond amazing as always.

I loved the ending, although quite sad, it fitted perfectly and had just the right amount of hope.

I'm doing Rainism weekend. This was cute, happy, and sad. Although they made the dead and the living... living. What a twisted world that is IF ONLY!!! The visuals were good, the fantasy was great, and this was like a slapstick comedy without the slapstick! Rain, his abs, his looks, his smile, his laughter, the only thing missing was he didn't sing. lol I loved Oh Yeon Seo playing the part with her looks, her demeanor fit that character, in other words, she made Han Hong Nan her own, she owned it! Lee Min Jung was kind of weak but not bad! I don't believe that character was for her. Lee Ha Nui was believable. Kim In Kwon and Kim Soo Ro did excellent in their characters. I love how the writer and directors put this storyline together. The rest of the cast did awesome, especially Ra Mi Ran had me laughing! I think this drama series is good to watch... The ending is well... I don't want to talk about it.

This drama was HILARIOUS! Although the trailer presented it as a sad drama, it's actually not that sad overall. It's a really funny drama because of the way the characters are presented.

Story: At first, I was kind of iffy about this drama because I didn't really understand the story as it was presented in the drama, but then afterwards as I continued to watch it, I found the story insanely interesting and I liked how it was presented in a comedic way.

Acting: Rain was amazing. His acting, especially at presenting two characters, was amazing. He presented the character so well especially acting like another character. His humor was also very funny. Oh Yeon Seo was also an amazing actor. She presented the character so well, especially acting girly and like a man all at once. Overall, the acting in this drama was amazing.

Music: The OST was amazing because of the way it was presented in the scenes. It made the scenes livelier than it is.

Overall, this drama was amazing and insanely hilarious. If you're looking for a comedy, but love drama, I highly recommend this one.
