I never though any drama would beat boys over flowers/city hunter and this may have or it was really close. But i absolutely loved and was so emotionally invested into it. The acting was so amazing, it felt so realistic and so props to the actors. The music was really really good i loved the ost. The storyline was so unique i loved it and it was so captivating i couldnt stop watching it. I even dreamt about it. SPOILER*** The ending was sad which im not sure if i liked, plus there was a major twist ***END SPOILER***

It was a Good Drama, until the last 3 episodes, although the final was according to the story I didn't spect that kind of ending.. I Must say the casting, the performance and ost are so far one of the best I have seen among the drama list I have Completed....

The Actors Have reached a level of performance I which the viewer can feel the emotion the actor wants to transmit...

This Isn't the type of drama I usually watch but after seeing the first episode I realized it was too late there was no turn back, once you start you can stop it.

If you want in which you can feel any the whole package of emotions here it is.

I hope every body who watch it enjoy this Drama as much as I did

It different, but still amazing

This was more than decent overall. I have no comment on the background and how it was filmed. The acting was good in parts and not great in others. Some of the acting improved as the episodes went on however there were still moments when it could have been better. The plot was very interesting and intriguing and I liked the moral of the story. This show fell down in the end. Right when they were getting you with the emotion it just decided to insert useless information.

49 days was the best drama I have ever watched. From the actors, to the story line it was one incredible performance, and drama. The drama also teaches people a lesson, you will also experience every emotion there is out there with this drama. It is 100% worth watching, and you will not regret it. 49 days was the first Korean drama I watched and because of it I have fallen in love with plenty other dramas, but this one takes the cake! I could watch it every day, have the same feelings, and never get bored. It truly is an amazing drama.

49 Days was a great/amazing drama. As the story was unfolding I was starting to hate Ji Hyun fiancé. He is a dirt bag in my eyes. But on the other hand I was really falling for Han Kang. Yes needs a little attitude adjustment in the beganing, but as the story goes, you will fall HARD for him. I Highly recommend to see this Drama, it has a little bit of everything a person can ask for. But most importantly the closer you get to the end, don't forget to grab a box of tissues. :) <3

49 Days is fresh and very interesting to watch. There may be flaws but you could barely see it. The way the story progress always put me at the edge of my seat. I never watch a drama this good.

When it comes to the actors, I commend Lee Yo Won for taking this very challenging role. If you are not following the story very well, you can say that Song Yi Kyung has split personality or worse multiple personalities on the highest level. She was able to bring the quirkiness of Ji Hyun's personality. She should have received a Daeksang for this role.

On the other hand Nam Gyuri as Shin Ji Hyun is a very interesting character as well. There are moments when she look like a doll.

Jo Hyun Jae as Han Kang is a very vulnerable character. If I were him, I would go crazy over the resemblance of Yi Kyung to Ji Hyun. I love his character here because he was like a martyr. It was hard for him to express his love to Ji Hyun so he somewhat become a bastard towards her because that's how he he deals his pain of longingness. But also he deeply cares for her. (Jo Hyun Jae and Jo In Sung are my favorite Korean actors).

Jung Il Woo as the Scheduler, what can I say about his character? He was perfect, he brought a lot of fun and one of the reason why this drama is highly entertaining to watch.

Bae Su Bin as Kang Min Ho is quite a dark character and even if he is the antagonist here I love his character, it was well represented. There are moments when I kind of hate him but as the story progress, you kind of understand his character. But still a villain is a villain.

The music used in the drama was perfect for me. The production knows when to inject the music that suits the scene. It adds drama, it adds thrill.

When it comes to re watching this drama. I would but not right away. Give me 4-5 years and I would want to re-live the drama brings.

Overall, this drama never disappoints. Previous comments and reviews I've read are correct. It's quite difficult to put it in a genre. It is something refreshing to watch, something you could never thought is possible. Something you have never seen on TV. The plot is very interesting and the story was very well executed. It was close to perfection. There are moments when you can't help but laugh at the quirkiness of the leads and there are times when you just can't compose yourself over the emotions you got from what is going on. I felt that the funny moments were unintentional but it really works.

I've never seen myself writing a review for a drama before but, after watching 49 days, I felt the need to write one.

Looking at the story first, I gave it a 9 out of 10. The storyline is a unique one which can teach you so many things about life. It's beautiful and i could not have asked for anything more.

The acting and casts were just amazing. I gave it a 10 out of 10 because the actors truly are gifted in acting. They got me crying the very moment they started shedding tears. Hands up for the casting directors, they definitely knew what they were doing.

The music was also embedded into the drama perfectly, i felt like it wasn't overused like some dramas tend to do. It wasn't placed during insignificant moments but was well thought out and planned which added on to the emotional aspect of the drama.

I gave the rewatch value a 10 out of 10 and I don't believe I'm being generous here. It deserves a 10 out of 10. I just finished the drama and I'm already planning to rewatch it with my friend in a couple of weeks. #49DaysMarathon

Overall, this drama got a well deserved 9/10.

Wow,I knew this was going to be a good drama, but I honestly didn't expect it to be great. Most dramas have cliche character types and an obvious storyline, but this had such unexpected depth, I think I will continue to be stunned for a long time. Well worth the 20+ hours. This makes my top favorite Kdramas of all time!

This!

This drama left me thinking about it even after 49 days of finishing the whole series. I was pretty much fine and even laughing with the main character’s silly antics until I came up to episode 8, then the bucket of tears slowly started. I don’t know why but the concept of death and dying was all over the place with this one. How hard was it to find real tears of someone who really really cared about you? In this drama, it was dead hard.

I love the three main characters namely Shin Ji-Hyun (Nam Gyu Ri), Han Kang (Jo Hyun Jae) and Song Yi Kyung (Lee Yo Won). Their lives are intricately woven with each other and progress will be shown in every episode. The story line is very interesting because it still gives you a bit a humor even in the face of death and grave choices in life. Oh, and there’s this other character to whom I was really taken in with… the Scheduler/Song Yi Soo (Jung Il Woo). His character is more complex than what it seems to be.

Loving this drama in every little bit along with the music.

This drama doesn't fall in the regular drama storyline. I enjoyed it and the twist and turns it takes you through but in the end I felt a little empty. The story was really good and it didn't reveal all the story at once and you will feel emotionally attached to the main characters.

This drama introduced me to Jung Il Woo and he was great. I felt that he played his role very well giving us a little comedy in a very dramatic drama. Unfortunately I felt like the chemistry between the main couple was missing but the story made you over look that part.

The plot is about looking back at your life and see who was really who you thought the were and how sometimes you don't really know the people around you.

This is a drama that requires a lot of tissues...fair warning but all in all it was a good drama

Happy Watching.

49 Days was a very interesting drama. Its title gives you no clue of what the story may be about, but even from the first episode you are given the chance to clear all your uncertainties. The fantasy embraces like a veil the main theme of this drama: getting to know yourself better and your own abilities as you find the capacity to grow in front of your own eyes and not depend always on the others. :)
The actors did their job very well and brought to life unforgettable characters. Nam Gyu Ri played the role of a young woman, Shin Ji Hyun, who always thought to be surrounded by great people who would never lie to her. Song Yi Kyung was interpreted by a wonderful actress, Lee Yo Won, and she will be the key to solving the mystery of this story. Another important role is Seo Ji Hye's who played In Jung - another character from whom there is a lot to learn: friendship is the most important in the world and obstacles that might arise should be overcome together with your friends and not by taking decisions who may harm others, but also yourself. Jo Hyun Jae and Bae Soo Bin gave life to Han Kang and Kang Min Ho who will contribute to intensify the tension of the drama and also bring a bit of romance to it. ;) Oh, I almost forgot about the Scheduler who was brought to life by another great actor, Jung Il Woo; he is the proof of true love. :D
As the story unfolds, you will get to know more of the lives of the characters and make connections.
The main message of this series is to live the moment so I suggest to everyone to watch it. You will definetely not lose your time as long as you pay attention to the action and the details and learn as much as you can from it.
Laughter, tears, sorrows will invade your soul and the end will bring on oasis of peace and hope. To be thankful for what God gives you, for what life itself brings you is the most important thing everyone should do. Just be glad and grateful! ;)

Absolute stunning drama about life and death and the heartache and mystery that it consumes the subject and the ones who love them. This drama will make you laugh, cry and thinking about it for days. The scheduler is the best villain in a drama. Ever. I was so drawn to this drama that I binge watched it. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up. I watched it on hulu+. By the way, I never rewatch dramas but this one, I definitely could!!!!
