Controversial Concept Tomorrow

First of all, my respect to the writer/s of this entire story, it must not have been easy for them to publish the idea and they must have been meet with a lot of controversy, since the main topic of “Tomorrow" is suicide. With this focus it may gain a lot of attention and a higher platform to spread awareness for mental health, however, they will also be meet with a lot of criticism because these personal matters that affect everyone, will never be non-offensive. With this emotional and tricky concept it is very likely that some of those suffering from mental health problems such a s ST might feel heard but some people with ST might feel misunderstood, … . Is it a risk that should be taken? That is for you to decide.


Music/ Production >> 9.0
Personally, I like the vibes of the BGM and the OST tracks that are used to undermine the vibes of this series. Sometimes they’re upbeat, whenever the show has slight comedy, and the music can also turn dark in any second. Overall, I’d say it was a good idea to use various music types because it reflects our world, on which various people, personalities and emotional states states are daily and important to consider when choosing the OSTs.

Not only the music makes this series so acknowledgeable for their variety, but also the filming and editing crew are proofing themselves as truly capable. Starting from the smoothly filmed scenes, over to the well-chosen angles and perspectives and then to the outrageous editing, which not only consists of Inception-like VFXs but also talented coloring and montage techniques. If this series fails, it’s definitely not because of the after effect team.


Plot >>8.0 >> 9.0
Generally, I think the idea behind this series is a good one, but sometimes I think some comedy moments kinda feels off in a series with these concepts and topics. However, I enjoy how the characters are written and the direction this series is going. Especially choosing such a bubbly but pathetic protagonist definitely was a good choice to avoid the show being too dark and heavy. I can see a lot of possible character developments in all of them and the first episode had me hooked and interested in the main characters already. I really hope they won’t take this concept into the wrong direction and instead use the possibilities to spread awareness and destigmatize therapy. I personally adored episode 9 :(


Acting/ Cast >> 9.0
The grim reapers as well as the humans all deliver a solid performance.


Rewatch Value >> 8.0 ?
The concept is very intriguing + eye-opening to me, occupied my mind and may result in a deeper reflection of myself. However, I mentioned in the beginning that some people may not like the portrayal / the usage of this topics and stories to get cloud. Therefore I wish that this series will use their views to not only make money but also to raise awareness and change the mental health system, especially in Korea.
