Doomed to fail would not be the first thing that comes to mind when you see the first two episodes. Both actors worked well and its is rare to see such chemistry from the whole cast as you progress. The super natural phenomenon were believable and doom as grim reaper felt natural in his role.

The show had so much potential, but K-drama has the tendency to make everything down to earth and give everything even gods human emotions which makes me confused all the time. I get it you gotta have a romantic story but the two, a human woman who is dying and an all powerful god of death acting like they have a chance at love is laughable without serious backstory and reason.

The whole cast worked well early but as the story refused to move forward and give us something of substance it slowly became more like a slog. There was no chemistry between the main leads and it felt like the female lead was forcing everything on the male lead, and he went along with it. It is stupid to see a super natural being acting like has feelings for a dying girl for no reason. They had no need to have any connection at all, at least it was not clear why they were chosen to be together by the deity. I would also like to know why everyone around acts so dumb as if the guy is not supernatural and teleporting everywhere is normal.

Finally, the show failed to keep me hooked and I just watched it by skipping most of the scenes later. He knew when she would die and she knew she was dying but there was very few moves from any side. Furthermore, she showed no romantic interest from the start but started living together has to be one of the most oddest move in modern history.
