It works as an office comedy just fine, it didn't need to have any romance. However, the romance was the worst. Other than that, the concept got stale after a while, it felt they were running out of ideas.Was this review helpful to you?
Story: Amazingly orchestrated, there is no doubt that the writer has done a phenomenal job. I have seen a lot of plots regarding day repeating itself, but this one was breathtaking and original to my -so far- knowledge about that kind of plot. As the series advances, all the characters show growth and change. The fact that nothing is cliche about the story made me so amused while watching, I didn't know what to expect.
This is the first Kdrama, that I keep watching without reading spoilers about the ending. I was able to not get lost in the day-repeating-itself theme. The comedy was so natural and the fact that the focus was not mainly on the romance and no lovey-dovey sort of writing, was even a bigger thriller to my taste. It was more about humans and their interactions with each other, how they learn from their mistakes and flourish. I cried, laughed, got angry and frustrated and felt humiliated as the characters experienced through the progress of episodes.
There were many real-life issues related to workplace discussed in this series such as working mothers, harassment and bullying by upper management, how contract workers are treated, and workers rights.
This is a perfect plot for my brain to enjoy.
Actors: I am in love with the whole cast, each and every single one of them contributed a little bit to give this masterpiece of art. I loved those who were kind as much as I loved those who were evil.
I am obsessed with Kang Ji Hwan, I have been watching his series like crazy the past month since I started watching Kdramas and this by far is his best role ever. The fine-tuning of his acting, nothing overboard or lacking, the way he delivers the character while it learns and grows was breathtaking, I enjoy every scene he appears and long for the next.
First time watching her, Baek Jin Hee is a genius, and natural to the point that I felt like watching reality and not acting. I loved her scene with both male leads, it was so harmonious. I loved how she showed the strength of a female character while being feminine, perfect balance. I think I will watch many other works to this lady as she made me gasp in awe.
Gong Myung was very good at playing his part, I loved his sweet character and his interaction with his grandfather in the series.
The rest of the cast, I enjoyed and never skipped a second of the show focusing on their acting.
Music: Beautiful and uplifting, I spent a few days after the who playing it in my head.
Rewatch value: I am rewatching it at the time being, but this second time is to actually study and inhale all the small details that I missed during the first time and I believe I will be watching this drama several times during my lifetime.
Overall: Don't miss this show and enjoy it to the max, you will not waste the 16 hours spent on this drama. Watch it now!

This series was fantastic! I found it on the recommendations page for shows like Psychopath Diary and I am so glad I watched it!The Groundhog Day plot is one that could've gotten old, very quickly. The transition from the repetitive days to the longer plot as they dig into the boss' issues was seamless. For once, I was invested in the corporate espionage drama (though not as much as what was happening with Lee Roo-da and Mr. Baek. The coworkers were interesting, as well. I really felt for the contract worker.
This is a show that does the redemptive jerk plotline so well., I was doubtful they would try to redeem Mr. Baek or that I'd find it believable if they did. However, as we see him wanting to change and actually taking solid steps to do that, I found myself rooting for him. The ending was really great, although it was frustrating to go backwards.
Definitely a recommend from me! I had a great time watching it.

Time Lapse that brings a new life....
"Feel Good to die" drama attract my attention when I saw the trailer. Because the unique plot and the drama seem relaxed and funny. I thought it would be like the "manhole" drama, so I decided to watch it and it was really worth it. This makes me laugh so hard and Very funny. Crazy!! This drama tells about Baek Jin Sang, the leader of the marketing team whose attitude is selfish, arrogant, never sympathetic to others, his words often make other people feel hurt, really annoying. Because of his attitude that other people around him don't like and hated and are always cursed to die. Every time people expected him to die, time-lapse happened and directly the day will repeat on the same day. This also happens in Lee Do Ra's life, the marketing manager who realized this after seeing her boss die many times in front of her. She also tried to find out what caused it and try to make the day can continue. After her experiment, she realized and believed that Jin Sang should turn out to be good so that no one expects him to die and time stops. Jin Sang didn't realize what he was going through and didn't believe Lee Do Ra's words until he experienced it himself when he tried to fight the injustice of her company with Lee Roo Da. They are also assisted by their colleagues, namely Choi Dae-Ri, Park Gwajang, and Jung-Hwa. Last, Jun Ho decides to join the marketing team. He is the grandson of hwejangnim and the nephew of the CEO where he works.Initially, Jin Sang did not know the reason why he was hated and even get rid of by the company because there was no one by his side told him. However, after he transferred to became a restaurant manager, his character slowly but surely changed. The support and actions of Roo Da who always reminds and helps Jin Sang change his behavior, also gives new hope for Jin Sang to change. He also mistook Roo Da to like him and tried to be the best version of it. However, oppositely, without his unconsciously it makes him like Roo Da while Roo Da closer with Jun Ho. Unfortunately, there is no kiss scene. At first, I thought that Gong Myung would become a sad boy again like a "solo drinking" drama. But apparently, this drama provided an opportunity for him to be liked by his female lead role: D. When Jin Sang rearranged his personality, the company still tried to fire Jin Sang because of his courage to talks the truth against injustice. However, the opposite happened. The more he was getting rid of, the more he soared. It proved when he was successfully fired but due to an incident, he became a model and gained public power. He even became a spokesperson for MW Chicken and eventually returned to head office. The time-lapse also stopped
Unfortunately, his past attitude was influenced by his now life. The fact starts revealed that because of his words, Hyun Jung, a former employee who had quit due to depression because Jin Sang now in a coma condition. He also decides to meet Hyun Jung and her father that it turns out is security from his company. Her father was also the one who terrorized Jin Sang and tried to kill him. Lee-Daeri's attempt to save Jin Sang succeed and unfortunately made her fell from the roof and died. Jin Sang regrets it so much and attempts to turn back time to save Lee-Daeri but in vain. On the other hand, the company's condition was chaotic caused by a decline in shares and fraud by a foreign investment company- AL Capital. In Han, even Yu SI Baek was arrested by the police on accusation manipulate the shares. Jun Ho, who becomes director now, is having a lot of trouble when solving that. However, with the help of the marketing team, Baek Jin Sang and Yu SI Baek took sides to save the company afterward and Jin Sang apologized for past troubles that made Yu SI Baek hate him. They also managed to trap AL Capital and it works. After the company matters are resolved, Jin Sang now tries to solve his personal problem. He went back to Hyun Jung to apologize. There, he also realized after reading Hyun Jung's diary that the time-lapse was created because Hyun Jung wanted to give Jin Sang a second chance to change Jin Sang's personality through Lee Roo Da's positive attitude. Jin Sang was really sorry for his mistaken and also willing to die if he can save Lee Daeri and Hyun Jung. His sincerity makes Hyun Jung forgive him and the time-lapse brings them back to the past day. This time, Jin Sang attempt and succeeded to save Hyun Jung. Lee Daeri also came back to life but he forgot the memories that not yet happen between Jin Sang and herself. Jin Sang also forms an employee union against the company's injustice. Before doing that, they try to improve the image of Jin Sang to change the view from the other people on his attitude and try to believe and follow him.
The drama ended with the appointment of Yu SI Baek to be CEO for aspires and motivate to show that women cannot be underestimated. She was assisted by Baek Jin Sang as the director. Roo da, who previously dated Jun Ho, is now in a relationship with Jin Sang, who has been feeling one-sided love for a long time. Huhuhu finally… .. Happy Ending: D. This drama is one of my favorites because it is relaxed and funny without having to force comedy. "Feel Good to die" is very entertaining and I really enjoy it. ?
