Good Until The Last Two Episodes...
I stuck through this drama from when it first aired right to the very end and I'm just late putting in my 2 cents.
I really liked this drama and most of the reviews I've quickly scrolled through are similar to the thoughts I've had.
I will say that the last two episodes felt a bit incomplete for me. Perhaps because near the end, the ML's supporters basically couldn't help him anymore. One got thrown off a building but miraculously survives although in a coma, and the other side characters were "benched" because they were forced to be transferred elsewhere by the "powerful" villain through his connections. So throughout the whole show, the ML had all his supporters helping him but in the end, they got pushed to the wayside. The villain made sure that the ML was "alone".
In the beginning, we see that the ML, a prosecutor, tries to take down a powerful villain and in doing so he gets murdered. Luckily, he is brought back to life by a grim reaper. A "second chance" as you have it, to go back to the past... we're talking even before he starts law school. So with all his future memories intact in the past, he uses all that info, to thwart and take down the villain and his connections.
I cheered the ML on whenever there was a scene where just when the bad guy thinks things are going well, the ML ruins it for him because he was always 2 steps ahead. But by the last episode, perhaps I was hoping that the villain would be taken down by the ML in some kind of dramatic showdown. Like with a big arrest, a swarm of reporters flashing their cameras and adding to his further humiliation. Nothing like that happened. Just like the ML in the 2nd last episode, the villain was just... lonely.
I wished there was more storytelling and mystery about the grim reaper and the ML's mysterious coming back to life storyline. Maybe like one episode should've touched on it. I mean, really, he basically traveled back in time and we're not gonna talk about it that mystery after episode 1? It was kind of weird how they did that.
I did enjoy the show and I agree with the other reviewer who wished we saw the ML end up with the reporter female character. I don't know why they introduced her to us first, if she wasn't the end game. She had better chemistry with the ML.
That's just my 2 cents. I would've rated this show higher if it hadn't been for the lacklustre ending episodes.
