A young graduate (Seo In-guk) doing it very tough in the existential scramble for jobs has come to the end of his tether. After several years of juggling part-time jobs and not achieving that holy grail — a corporate position at Taekang Group — he concludes that his life has been an absolute failure. From the top of a high rise, he takes the plunge, ends his life, leaving behind a loving single mother and his longtime ex-girlfriend. It is important to note that his despair is exacerbated by a particularly bad day that culminates in a break-up with his girlfriend which he initiates after seeing her with another man. One thing after another he believes that his death is the solution to all his problem and will end all the agony that paralyzes him. That is until he wakes up and finds himself in a kind of purgatorial location face to face with Death herself played by a suitably menacing Park So-dam.
Hope you had a nice trip, and it's good to see your posts again! I also went into this show without knowing much about it, and initially I didn't even know how star studded the cast was until they kept popping up one after another. This show had far more depth than I'd anticipated. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot twists and appreciated how all the threads came together. Empathy is such a powerful teacher.

I had a great trip. Thanks for your interest!
Glad you've watched this one too. The plotting is one of the best I've seen in a very long while.
