Ill start with the negatives and then ill go into what I loved.

What I didnt like at all about the drama was the reason why Death started all this game. She said it was because he killed himself and therefore rejected and disrespected his fate and "made fun" of Death. I didnt like this perspective at all because its not fair. No one knows how much suffering you have to go through for your mind to decide that its better to kill yourself than live, except for the people who choose to kill themselves. Yes, its true that he didnt think about the pain he was going to inflict on his girlfriend and his mom, but instead of shaming the victim for wanting to end their pain we should shame the system and the ones who made him want to end it all. Its the peoples fault who act like they are more superior to others and bully others just for fun, like for the high school kid who also killed himself. Its the systems fault for not offering a good-enough support for people who go through so much hardship. Its the systems fault for making it so difficult for us to create good communities. And its also the peoples fault for supporting this kind of system. And instead of putting all the blame where it should be put, this drama made it seem like the guy had sinned. I would have absolutely loved it if he were a former-bully who now is suffering and maybe one of his victims kills him and then Death wanted to play with him. And being in all those different lives he learns what wrongs he did and how to repent. This way the drama would also give the message that people deserve a second chance and deserve to be forgiven after they have done the work. Instead, he suffered so much and now he has to suffer so much more just because he was a bit selfish when he was in so much pain?????
Also the ending from a directors pov is beautifully done, but from the writings pov it looks a bit lazy. Does it mean that he returns to the past? If yes that means that he is going to watch his girlfriends and his moms death. It also means that all that work was for nothing. All those corrupted people are just going to get away with it. How is that satisfying for us viewers? I wish there was one more episode to show us how he prevented his moms and gf death and maybe how he found a way to put all of those psychopaths to jail.

Now to the good things. It has an amazing cast. Everyone did a great job. It is very difficult for all those actors to portray the same character and still they nailed it. It never felt like there was a disconnection. It felt like all of them were the same soul.

The writing was so good too. Even thoughits easy for it to get boring the drama keeps us entertained by making each death interesting. I also loved how they were all connected. I like how it takes time for our guy to make the right choices too. Hes not a God. Hes just human and we all repeat the same mistakes over and over again until we learn from them.

The director did a great job also. I liked how with every story it did not take too much time to go straight to the point. From the first episode they explained his life, why he killed himself, why death punished him and what did he have to do to not go to hell and they also included how his first death happened. Thats a lot in just 45minutes., and they did an amazing job at making it not confusing and also interesting.

The shots in this drama were beautiful too. The videography was amazing. They even did every gunshot from Death in a different way.

So, except from the premise, everything in this drama is wonderful. I highly recommend it.
