This is a gripping drama , half Sci-Fi , half thriller , dealing with the real life of ordinary contemporary people living in South Korea today , while debating the big issues of Life , Death , the After life , Rebirth and Life Eternal . It is ingenious and comforting , moving , overwhelming , always deeply serious and authentic ( The Comfort Women for example ) and utterly believable as well as enjoyable .
There is an amazing cast with good chemistry between them .
The Rookie Grim Reaper played by Rowoon is adorable and you identify with him wholeheartedly . Kim Hee Sun is wonderful in her part and Kim Hae-Sook the Jade Emperor the very person you would like to meet after Death .
I will watch it again to appreciate the dialogue even more ( very well written script ) but I have watched the last scene several times and love the ending . All will be well on Earth and in Heaven .
