Shin Dong Min is very funny. She made her character very likable and funny, it's as if her character is a teenager. All her outbursts, facial reactions, and dialogues, are so cute. She clearly shows, as an actor and her character, that people over 40 are like kids too. I love that instead of the usual "too serious because we're 40+".
The planning is amazing. They timed episode 11 and 12 to coincide with Mother's Day and wrote a two-part episode about a mother and her son. Not only that, if I remember correctly, this was the first two-part episode story in the series.
While the series is about death, suicide, pain, and learning ways to comfort people (and possibly prolong their lives), they do not forget to write stories about the living and how hard yet still beautiful life is.
In a way, they are using death to make a statement about life and why we should continue living despite the bad things that we encountered and will encounter. If we look at each story, it is actually inspiring. As most say, "healing".
This is the kind of shows I love to watch. Not only because it is rare these days but more because it is not about entertaining the audience rather it is about piercing our souls, to make us think, to analyse, to learn to put ourselves in other people's shoes, to look at things from different perspectives, and experience it without literally going through it.
Maybe, and hopefully, it shapes us, the audience, in becoming better people and learn value every single life, even those who hurt us. No wealth in the universe can ever equal to a single human life.
Does anyone knows who is she? I mean, her first role is in "Our blues" as a main lead with a super experienced…
Also, it's not uncommon or impossible for a newbie to be talented. There are many others before her who did well with their debut, film at that (films are much harder than TV).
It's not something we see everyday, sure, but it's not uncommon and not impossible.
I don't want to add another in my already long list of on-going shows because I can no longer keep up and still have to do work … but it's KANG HAN NA!
And it's been a while since I last watched a serious period drama.
Not many "high concept" korean dramas have worked recently, another one is Hellbound. Maybe they aren't used to…
Yeah. Seems to be they're experimenting. Hopefully they'll find what works for their style.
They also should not shy away from extending to 12 episodes if 8 seems to be too compact. Even Western productions are extra careful when it comes to releasing an 8-episode series/season. All it takes is one wrong decision for the entire season to collapse. It's like short stories, better write a novelette than force it to be a short.

That is the only way you will get their attention.
Ranting here won't do anything against the stereotype.
Now everything makes sense and definitely a must watch from hereon.
