Shigani Meomchooneun Geu Ddae (2018)
Not your typical drama, surprising!
I knew this had a fantasy element but expected the romance aspect to still be fairly typical where the leading lady was "Cinderella" being swept away by the "Prince." Instead, the show focused on the complexities of each character that shows no one is all good or bad. There was an overall story that was mysterious with grim reapers, and then more human mini stories about each tenant at the apartment complex. I was touched by some of the subject matters and found them to be really modern and surprising compared to the more fairytale-esque worlds of other dramas. I would have liked another episode or two to wrap up the ending with more time. However, I could also see the current ending as a seque into another season, which would make me happy. This show isn't perfect but I appreciated that it was so unique. I also disagree with the other reviewer - there was complex acting on the part of the male and female lead. At times some characters act stoic, and it's part of the story as is revealed. Then at other times you see the same characters be more open.
