This drama is about Shin Ji Hyun, who fell into a vegetative state after a traffic accident and was given a second chance to live provided that in 49 days she could find three people (who had no blood relation to her) who would cry genuine tears for her. The other main character is Song Yi Kyung, who had been living like a dead person for 5 years following the death of a loved one (for "boyfriend" would grossly understate the importance of that person in her life), and who had been making several unsuccessful attempts to end her life. During those 49 days, Ji Hyun was to borrow Yi Kyung's body in order to find those 3 drops of tears, all while not revealing her identity.
The contrast between the two main characters was interesting; Ji Hyun desperately wanted to live, even when she was living as a spirit, while Yi Kyung wanted to die, for she found her life meaningless. I liked how through borrowing Yi Kyung's body, Ji Hyun was able to grow as a person, find out who were the people that really loved her and help her parents, and through getting to know Ji Hyun, Yi Kyung was able to stand back up and live.
The drama raised some thoughtful points about death and the afterlife, and one that I particularly liked was how the way one lives his life determines how he is treated after he dies, and subsequently his next life. All in all, it is a touching drama about love, goodbyes and life. I cried a lot watching it, especially in the last few episodes. So sad, but SO GOOD.
Initially I was interested in this drama because of Bae Soo Bin, who played the epitome of Mr Perfect in Brilliant Legacy. It took me a while to finally watch it because he acted a villain in this drama and I didn't want to ruin Jun Se oppa's perfect image in my head LOL. I dislike villains on principle, but I thought Bae Soo Bin did well acting-wise!
Throughout this drama I was going GAGA over Han Kang (Jo Hyun Jae), who was -to sum up- a typical good guy you'd see in dramas. It helped that he has that 30+ mature man look that is so my type hahaha *oops*.
The real winner is the Scheduler (Jung Il Woo), though. He made me laugh so much with his little adorable antics, and in the emotional scenes, he made me cry buckets. Great acting! I love his many expressions; he doesn't even need lines, for real. I think I'm gonna be watching out for him in the future :).
I love Han Kang! And I love the Scheduler! DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE ONE RAWR.
