neither fish nor fowl...
Hmmm.... Six episodes á 9 minutes is not enough to tell a comprehensive story. While the first 5 episodes are not that bad, the finale felt extremely rushed. I have no idea how the main couple fell in love. The chemistry between them was not convincing me even when their kissing and nc-scene were well done.I have not much to say, because while it was ok to watch, I never felt involved in that story. The "little" reaper was of course the only professional actor and he did a good job, Lee Hyeon Jun was more or less the same person we know from "His Man" - quite stoic, not giving any vibes that he was interested in his partner. Kim Yung Hee is an extrovert person, so he could deliver his character much better and with some training he could become a "real" actor.
In summary, the script was not fleshed out, six short episodes is not enough to build up a comprehensive story. At least it was not stupid or cringe, so you can binge watch 45 minutes without much fuzz. Such a show should have much more depth especially so the viewer can understand what the attraction between the couple is, besides visual appeal. You can watch this if you like, you will get some nice visuals and will not waste time watching a fully fledged series which could be even worse.

love triangle with a side of supernatural
Overall: they needed to narrow the plot focus/cut out the love triangle. 6 episodes about 9 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/7808/fix-the-error-2026-e01 and the Shortime app. My referral link is https://playground.shortime.en/invite/NKNIWI (all letters) and it should get you a bonus.Content Warnings: past murders off screen, past suicidal thoughts, manipulation
What I Liked
- visuals
- unique premise
Room For Improvement
- they had too many characters for a short run time, needed to cut out the love triangle, a lot went un or under explained
- needed more romantic/relationship development

Eh...
Not exactly bad, but nothing great either. It had a nice start, but these last two episodes genuinely made me uninterested in it, I was just waiting for it to finish as soon as possible.GagaOOlala: https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/7808/fix-the-error-2026-e01
Things I liked:
1. Interesting concept for the series.
2. Kwak Geon Hee's character and acting.
3. Some cute moments.
Things I disliked:
1. A lot of confusion around the plot due to the series being extremely short.
2. Hyeon Jun's acting is a bit stale. There could be an emotional moment, and he is just sitting with a poker face.
3. Super anticlimactic ending.
4. Good start, but everything crumbled after the first few episodes.

The more I watched it the worse it got
The story was literally all over the place. They had too much to cover for a 1hr series.Initially it was okay, kinda cute but then after 2 or 3 episodes it just landed flat on the ground. They had this
- grim reaper track going
- love triange going
- the name issue going
- the brother's death track
- and the fallen grim reaper track all going simultaneously.
In the end nothing was finished properly. They had these random kisses. Idk when the hell did both the leads fall for Ji Han. Nor do I know what they know about Jae Hyeon. Overall it was just a mess. Kinda disappointed

It had potential
The biggest problem with this series is the runtime. With this kind of plot, you can't just condense it down to 10-minute-long episodes and expect to get anything of substance done.Which is why they kind of don't. Ji Han really just stumbles around with no real goal, falls in love, & gets a second chance after catching our fugitive. I didn't believe the romance. The worlds and their connection were never really explained; they are working on the assumption that the watcher has a baseline amount of knowledge.
Why are we spending actual time on schoolwork? Why are there two possible love interests? Most full-length series are too short to involve multiple love interests! Why is there no attempt to "fix" the error? Doesn't the original ledger that Ji Han came with at the end still exist? Is that not going to be a problem? Where is Ji Han getting his clothes from? That last one isn't really important, but it bothers me not knowing.
The acting was at least alright. Kan Hyeon Bae (Ji Han) did a really good job for his first role.
The chemistry really wasn't present outside the NC scene; it was alright then, but the kisses were good & VERY audible.
Not a total waste of time, but it was really disappointing because the plot had potential and the acting wasn't terrible.

IDK… I Expected Something More
The story of this BL show in itself is strong but the execution is very weak.The show started strong, intriguing too and then as it progressed everything went downhills. I don’t even understand what’s happening or what the story aims to achieve anymore, that’s how confusing it got.
One big problem here would be the run time for each episode. There’s so much to unpack, so little time to make the plot this complicated and confusing.
It’s so weird i don’t know what to say but honestly don’t waste your time with this one, just watch something else.
You’re welcome.

2 hot leads, but that's about it.
The storyline itself sounded quite interesting at first ; a grim reaper who only has 5 days to find and bring back the person as instructed to the Underworld, only for a mishap and ig attraction-at-first-sight getting in the way.However the story went from being slowish, to suddenly very fast from the end of episode 4 to 6, with 6 being egregious in that sense. Little plot branches growing all over the place, and a random plot twist with one of the characters turning out to be a fugitive (only to be overpowered and defeated laughably easily). The kissing/intimate scenes while eye candy and cute (imo), Hyunjun's acting (if one could call it that) felt more like him being himself, Hyeonbae's acting was actually not that bad for a beginner (if I'm not mistaken) (though his character seemed a bit too timid).
All in all, 10/10 visuals, a rushed and somewhat incoherent storyline and progression, coupled with so and so chemistry and acting, and it's mostly one that would be a feast for the eyes, but not one where it's engaging enough for someone to wanna watch it again (unless u like the scene of Jihan, Hyeonbae's character, and Hyunjun kissing).

It had potential
This story had a lot of potential, but they wasted it. I think they just didn't have enough time to bring it to full potential.The visuals were great, there was no music, only a bit of background sounds.
They made one big mistake with filming. When they are eating noodles in episode 2, the noodle cup from the grim reaper opens and closes when the filming angle changes..
Kwak Geon Hee is a good actors, he is very good with showing emotions. Kan Hyeon Bae was ok, but not great. And the other two were just too flat in their acting. Lee Hyeon Jun showed no emotions at all, but that's no different from him IRL, in Hisman he also never showed emotions. If he can't show emotions, he shouldn't act.
At least the kisses were good.
It's not a bad watch, so if you have an hour to spare just go and watch it.

TOO SHORT, TOO ABRUPT, TOO HASTE CANT BE SAVED BY GOOD CASTING CHOICE
The show's biggest weakness is its runtime. At under 12 minutes per episode across just six installments, the story feels far too rushed and abrupt, leaving no room for proper character development or a cohesive plot. On the bright side, the casting and performances are strong. It's a shame they weren't given a full-length drama format, ideally 45–55 minutes per episode, to do them justice. I hope the cast have another chance to show off their acting in another, fair project.Was this review helpful to you?
Ruined potential
Fix the error was such a fun watch and the grim reaper concept instantly caught my attention. The chemistry between the leads was really sweet, and I loved how the story mixed fantasy with romance. Even with such a short runtime, the drama managed to make me care about the characters and kept me looking forward to every episode.My biggest complaint is that it was simply way too short. A story with a concept this complex could never be fully explored in just six episodes that are only around ten minutes each. There was so much more they could have done with the world, the characters, and the plot, but everything had to move so quickly. I absolutely loved it and enjoyed every episode, I just wish it had been given the time it deserved because it had the potential to be something even more special.

Plot yang berpotensial namun disia-sia kan.
Lagi-lagi ketibanjiran BL korea yang durasinya mini-mini tapi kalo disuruh dijadiin vertical series kagak mau. Web drama max max maxx mentok ahh series.Plotnya sih bagus kalau mau niat dikembangkan ya, tentang malaikat pencabut nyawa (semacamnya lah, bayanginnya jgn terlalu di islam2 kan) yang disuruh turun ke bumi buat ya.. cabut nyawa orang. Eh tapi di-journey nya dia nyari orang yang dimaksud, dianya djatoeh tjinta sama manusia. Ini peak writing sih tapi sayang cuma mentok disitu aja. gw kira mah di Bumi dia bakal ngadepin konflik karena terlalu lama di Bumi (melebihi waktu yang sepatutnya digunakan). Eh ternyata mulus-mulus aja tuh. even pas kebenaran tentang identitas dia terkuak, main lead nya pada biasa biasa aja reaksinya. Terus nyisipin side plotnya ngga banget dahh, timingnya jelek. dukhh. terus endingnya lucu banget WAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKWKAWOKAOWKAOWKAOWKAOWKOAWKOAKWOAKWWAOWAOKWOAKW XIXIXI NGAKAK ABIIIEEZZZZ.
bonus point karena kwak geon hee disini damnn gila ganteng bgt busettt. perasaan pas nonton dia di Ballboy Tactics (meskipun dia cmn karakter pendukung, tapi screen timenya dia termasuknya banyak lah) tuh dia b aja visualnya, eh pas disini gilakk cokkk handsome maksimall. i feel like he could be my gambaran nyata atas skenario palsu (fake scenario) yang gw bayangkan di otak gw tentang kehidupan gw yang punya pacar (im gay btw). nah dia lah gambaran nyatanya. pas dia smirk pas dia senyum miring tuh damnn ga kuat guehh😩😩 beli di shopee ada ga ya modelan dia ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
