Great Acting, A Bit Of A Downer
This drama has fantastic acting from both the main cast as well as one off side characters. The stories are compelling and well written. If you want a drama that moves you, this one has that in spades. However, I must warn that it is a bit of a tear jerker, and the heavy topics can be a little bit of an emotional tole if you are perhaps in a rough space, or watch too many back to back so keep that in mind. Lastly, it doesn’t have much in the ways of romance if that’s what you’re here for. All in all a great show, although I doubt it’s one I’d rewatch often.Was this review helpful to you?
This is the definition of a beautifully done show.
The fantasy story is emotional and unique, daring to touch some very sensitive problems when portraying the life story of different unfortunate souls. It’s amazing how the heartbreaking situations can have heartwarming outcomes thanks to the effort of our lovely grim reapers. And the revenge that comes afterwards are so just and satisfying!The actings are phenomenal. Just from the look they give each other we could tell thousands of love, pain, hatred but also longings. The chemistry from the main couple is so good and the interactions between the CM team members are so cute!
The characters are very beautifully presented with wide range of emotions and development. And it’s a fashion show every time our boss Goo appears. The visuals from our characters are top-notch!
The atmosphere is mostly serious but sometimes also funny. Dealing with difficult issues regarding life and death, the natural humor that we occasionally get is very appreciated.
The effects are good too. The OST are soo beautifully sad and seeing the different aspect of filming by drones are also cool. Love how iconic the teleportation looks and sounds here.
Overall, it’s definitely a must see if you’re looking for something unlike your typical Kdrama. But brace yourself for the onions cutting ninja!
P/s: can we please get a season 2 please I miss them so much!

sooo good
I never but never cry because of kdramas but this series made me bawl my eyes out especially the episode with the dog omg.Great cast, I also loved how they showed everyone’s background.
Loved the way they showed sensitive topics such as eating disorders, depression, rape.
the cast is soooo good, their acting was immaculate and I got so attached to the characters.
it has a bit of everything and is definitely one of my favorite kdramas at the moment.
i mainly watch romance kdramas so I did think I’d actually complete it but I couldn’t stop watching.

Just perfect drama to watch
Personaly i don't like kdramas with drama involved between lovers. Since there was nothing like that i enjoyed it alot. This drama is perfect when you need a break from crime dramas or romances because the main gender is neather of these. I did not get spoiled about this drama so i knew nothing about it. I started watching it because of cast and because of how popular it is. I am surprised how i enjoyed the fantasy gender in this because i lived in that mindset that i will not like it. If you liked this drama you should watch Doom at Your Service as well. Have a nice day<3Was this review helpful to you?
Prepare your tissues for the best grim reaper kdrama ever. I want season 2 . HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!
I fell in love with this drama. I wasn’t expecting to love it so much. I just started it because I was browsing but let me tell you. I binge watched it. Like literally 7 hours of 7 episodes and I cried or sobbed 10 times in those 7 episodes. I am not lying. This cleansed my eyes more than anything else.I fell in love with the cast and not just the main but everyone. The stories covered were amazing, I loved the characters that Koo Ryun, Park Joong Gil, Im Ryun goo, Choi Joon Woong, and Jade Emperor played!
I can’t explain how sad I am writing thing right now because it’s over.
Please please pretty please I want season 2 with the same cast.
It was emotional but it made me feel better. It was funny too and I just fell for all the actors.
Thank you for making this amazing and wonderful show. Please create a season 2 for this. I highly request you. A loooot of people are anticipating it.
Thank you again to the on screen and off screen staff for this spectacular show and concept. I loved it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! <3

A decent attempt at addressing suicide
It was a difficult show to get into. The lead actor hamming it up in the early episodes almost made me drop it, since it came off as bad acting rather than just being goofy. But it got better.The emotional moments are well handled with tearjerking scenes each episode.
The pacing is brilliant. It largely benefits from the case of the week formula, so there isn't a feeling that things are dragging.
Perhaps the most important thing is that it gets better towards the end which is often enough for me to rate a drama highly.
Despite how well the show handles suicide attempt, I feel it did a terrible job at addressing depression. It treats suicide like an on and off switch, all solved once the characters are taken off the ledge, which we know isn't how it works in reality. Now I know it's not supposed to be realistic but for a dark themed show, I think it could have afforded a deeper dive into depression for at least a few of the characters.
All in all, I would recommend this show to anyone who loves after-life fantasy dramas. It's a good one.

I haven't been able to enjoy dramas quite the same after watching Tomorrow. The drama raises the bar in terms of characters, story depth, meaning and execution. Around ep5, I was totally hooked, and by the end, I was sad to say goodbye but at the same time, also happy to do so as well. If you watch it, this will make a lot of sense to you lol.
Each story involves people who are at a point in their life where they want to end their life. There is also the major story arc that gradually unravels itself. The stories do get a whole lot darker, heavier and more personal for the main characters. The ending to each is really special and precious. The pacing and order of the stories are well thought out.
"Someday, Because of You" made me bawl my eyes out, followed by "Spring" which was the saddest to me.
This is easily one of my top 5 dramas that's gonna stay with me for a really long time.

'realistic comfort'
Deals with reality of life. Gives you to face the reality of how very bad and how very good too in the "land of living".I think this definitely different to all kdramas you watched. It tackles more case of suicides. More case, more comfort that you meet with.
So I said it's peculiar or different because if you have beliefs in your inner self, you get it. If you just seek and research thoroughly, you will get the 'Real Truth', according to history, logically, and spiritually.
You want "realistic comfort" that gives you peace and warm in every episode? Watch it..

You're not alone in this fight.
I just finished watching Tomorrow after doing my exam. This drama showed various stories and characters that represents different people in life who is suffering but don't have the courage to say anything. They put on a face they are okay and that is what people see but inside they are full of concerns just like anybody else. They feel sad, depressed, confused, and questions their existence -- and this thoughts and feelings make people decide some bad decisions. But they never knew that their are others too who knows what they feel but fought through it.I, too have had gone through depression, thinking of what will happen after I am gone, if my decision is the right thing or not when I see my loved ones looking at me as if they are disappointed in me. And in the process of being depressed, thinking no one understood me, I heard that one of my classmate commit suicide. My initial thought was why?, I knew her and she always look so happy and great at her studies unlike me, why all of a sudden did she do that? That is what I thought and when her close friends that were also my close friend said she was never the kind to do that to herself I don't know how to react maybe because I was having my own problem that I had a hard time to empathize. Then one day I said to one of my friend that I feel so tired, that I don't want to do anything anymore and I can't help but want to close my eyes most of the day because I feel tired even though I have done nothing, then that friend said she feels the same way and said thought of stopping. Then this rushed of scenes come to my mind. I felt the need to stop her and even though I feel so depressed at that time I talked to her that we can do this together, we should never give up that one day we'll get though this. There were so many friends that felt the same thing that I do and talking to them made me remember all the hardships that I have faced to get where I am and the friends and family who are doing their best to cheer me up even though I am so pessimist.
The moral is talk even though you don't want to talk. Say the things that make your heart full of pain because there is always someone who can hear you and be able to understand what you feel. It may be a long shot but at least you tried. That is what helped me get through all of the bad thoughts. Yes I still feel like I am fighting on my own fight but at least I have someone I can share it. It is embarrassing at first but it is life.
The drama Tomorrow really helped me understand my mind and also the mind of other people. It made me cry because I do know how they feel. It made me laugh because I see those friends that in the characters in the drama who are trying hard to cheer me up. And made me so envious of the fashion of Koo Ryeon hhahahha...

Hope in the Face of Adversity
I really liked this drama. Suicide is an extremely complex topic and this drama wasn't always realistic in terms of how quickly some of the cases seemed to be wrapped up. I wished they'd emphasized the importance of treatment/ therapy after the chraracters overcame their crisis situations, but overall the drama did touch on some very important aspects and shed light on the struggles that people face on a daily basis.I went through so many emotions watching this, sadness, rage, irritation, disbelief and happiness to name a few. This drama tugged at my heart strings like very few dramas before this could and to me the underlying theme was always having hope in the face of adversity. I appreciated the bits of humour sprinkled in since it made me smile in some of the heavier parts of the show.
The entire cast, main, suppoting and guests, did an amazing job and the acting was quite moving. I was a little disappointed that Lee Soo Hyuk didn't have a bigger role since I originally started this drama because he was listed as a main character, but that's a small issuse.
If you're watching this drama, beware of the tags since the themes are on the heavier side.
