STORY---- 9/10

The plot is a unique adaptation of the popular story line of a soul wandering the earth finding ways to comeback to her body. I warn you don't treat this drama as an ordinary romance chic flick. It might contain some cliché parts the writer creatively masked that it remained inconspicuous.

ACTING/CAST-----8/10

It was relatively familiar cast for me, even the supporting actors I've seen from other SBS shows. The acting I was particularly moved by Jung Il Woo's performance, this is the first time I've watch a drama he's included, I thought he's character was easy to play since he's just the punk scheduler but when he started to cry and when his story started to unfold, I just wanted too see more. I was really sad for him, for Yi Kyung and Yi Soo. More that the main characters. I paid more attention to his story in the end.

MUSIC-----8/10

It was a touching mix of songs. It made you cry some more when the scenes were sad and made you feel bad when you should. Sound amplified the feelings.

REWATCH VALUE-----9/10

It has a high rewatch value for me, If you feel like contemplating on your life and just looking back and for self assessment this will really do.

OVERALL-----9/10

I'll give this a 9 overall score because it was so touching at an aspect even if i'm not a sucker for down right teary series. I finished this without me noticing it. Although I want it to end utopian style. Like everybody happy and they get to be with their most important person. I looked it very much with a bright perspective.

"It’s so poignant and beautiful and meaningful…and even though I didn’t get the ending I want, the ending was one of the best orchestrated I’ve ever watched: totally consistent and wonderful in its own bittersweet way"

MUST WATCH!

I hope I'm helpful enough :) read more

49 Days I could say is one unique story. It is not your typical Korean drama.

It will make you think about your own life. It will make you wonder, "If I were in Shin Ji Hyun's case, will I be able to find 3 pure tears?"...

The storyline is awesome. Be prepared for the ending.

Overall, this drama is an eyeopener as it touched a sensitive topic about the value of life. This should be watched with an open mind and a positive outlook.

A must-watch drama. The actors are great and the storyline is unique.

- Both are amazing dramas. They deal with souls and bodies. The story lines are brilliant and parts of each story build up and up, and all eventually connect like a puzzle in the end. It makes so much sense, leaving you practically speechless because the dramas are so wonderful.

Who Are You?

Both are about the soul after the accident, 49 days rule, scheduler a.k.a. death angel, ,,shinigami" or whatever you like to call someone who leads the way to the afterlife... Although the sircumstances are different for the soul, but theres a lot of similarities... Both are very goooood... :)

- In both dramas the main characters have to deal with a ghost because of the "49 days period". While 49 Days deals more with issues about love/family/friendship, Who Are You? is more about the love of a father for his daughter,and a murder case. Nevertheless, both stories are about accepting death.

SPOILER;
For those complaining about the ending it was like that for a reason;
the 49 days legend is that the soul will have a chance to finish any unfinished business in the living world, there are no "accidents" when it comes to death - if any soul got the 3 tears they were meant to die anyway but since she managed to get all 3 her reward was to say goodbye to her loved ones.
