Kim Young-soo and Han Gi-tak were set on a demand to adhere these 3 crucial rules after they decided to return to present life and inhabiting someone's bodies to be able to finish their own unfinished business;
  • 1. They can not reveal their true identities.

  • 2. Revenge is forbidden.

  • 3. They can not engage in human affairs.
If they break any of these 3 rules, there will be terrible consequences they will face.

My Thoughts:

I have been kinda waiting for this drama because it had an interesting story and as I watched it, it's much more than that. Though I don't like some of the characters at this point, mostly because there's too much angst and sadness but I get where they're coming from so I just roll with it. Anyways, the humour here is top-notch especially when you see an actress take on the character of a returned ahjusshi. There are lots of other interesting characters as well.

On to the story itself, I like how the two strangers who come back to the present world find out, they have much more in common than being the first to go off a train to heaven. Their lives get so tangled up that they just have to be in scenes together and that's just it, when they're together, it's gets super interesting. 

There's so much potential for this drama and I can't wait to see it materializes. So enjoy drama-watching.
