I decided to start this topic and I will update it as soon as I know something. I guess I have a lifelong bound with SBS now. So many great dramas by SBS, so many frustrations.

Dunno why but somehow this setting feels oddly familiar...does anybody know if there is a Japanese anime or movie with a similar plot of somebody who gets a second chance if he can find somebody who'd shed honest tears for him??
And anyway, I think it's an interesting premisse...looking forward to check this one out

I believe there was a Brothers Grimm tale about it, I just can't pin it down. Or I may be wrong.
But similar motif is also in King Lear by Shakespeare.
And in Asian (buddhist) world the soul of the dead is still in this world for 49 days and leaves 50 days after the death. Hence the title.
If anyone saw any family drama with funeral rites or Windstruck, this was there.

I'll wait till this one is over before I watch it. When death is involved as such a main part of the plot, I don't trust a good ending and I'm even less forgiving of tragic endings in series than in movies.
Also, until I'm sure this is half decent, I won't touch it anyway since I hated Shining Inheritance and didn't even bother watching more than 2 episodes of Prosecutor Princess. We'll see. Hope it's good.

Bae Su bin is as usual doing the second lead role though... and this is the come-back drama of Jo Hyun Jae after getting released from the army.
Lee Yo Won was indeed in Bad Love, but she is more known as Qeen SeonDeok along our beloved Kim Nam Gil ^^
Not to mention the younger girl was in "Life is Beautiful", albeit a little bit annoying but tolerable...

Hope that drama won't disappoint me ( fingers crossed )

The posters are wicked. So beautiful. I want this. NAO!
It does have "sobbing and lamenting" written all over it, but I hope for a good ending. I mean, she will be struggling to get back to life, so not managing it would suck.
Unless they go for the "Well, only 1 or 2 love me, but their love is enough to make me happy. So I can just die now" ending, which frankly, I wouldn't like. Why, you say?
Because I think love is a reason to live for, not die for. If I were in her shoes, I'd kick Reaper-boy's ass till he let me get back to be with the people who love me after all.
But that's just me. Still, quite looking forward to this. I know it will be melo, but I hope it's good melo and not "let's sob for the sake of sobbing". Those annoying ones.

hey orion1986! if you are desperate like me for softsubs , i know 2 sites that might help lessen the annoyance of waiting! you can try
http://www.jacinda1st.com/
Jacinda is really fast at finding subs from other people! they usually bring out the chinese subs first, and the english subs will more then likely come out a day or 2 after!
and you don't need to sign up with them!
or u can sign up with this site
http://www.darksmurfsub.com/forum/
Darksmurf is awesome! you can download the subs even when they aren't done! granted when you download them too early, there will be alot of misspells and such, but they usually have the subs done in about 3-4 days after the episode airs! awsome eh?!
hope this helps with the viki thing!

Thank you very much. I do know about darksmurf subs, but I have only used them a couple of times so I wasn't sure about the quality. Still, not willing so sign up.
Also, there are no softsubs to be found in the other link. WithS2 will probably sub this as well, so even if we have to wait a while, we'll get softsubs eventually. ^^

First two eps were a nice start. Set a good pace and atmosphere and the Scheduler brings in some comedic relief for me. He made me crack up with his air-guitar performance
I agree with you, Ecchan...wonder if he can be anything else than a gold-digger, though I very much hope so for the sake of the originality of this plot.
Still can't stand the singer turned actress girl but well, at least she's trying...

For now I wonder about this Scheduler, a little random person to bring around as asian dramas are rather strict in matter of to not put together spirit and human (MGIG I consider exeption here) at the end and still pattern of behevior between them match usuall begin of romance. And there is this owner of restaurant, hmm..
Oh, gumiho is not a spirit, it belongs to the supernatural order, but it's not a spirit in any way.
And to answer the question how long people can cry after you? Just look at Yi Kyeong, she's been in constant mourning for 5 years. So people can cry after someone even for so long, not only like 3 days.
They put so much information in such random places. The drama looks as if they shook the box with puzzles and dropped them on the ground. Now, all is left is just to sort them and make a picture out of them.

OK I should say supernatural beings, as Death Angel is not spirit too. BTW he said he is Scheduler for long time now, this mean he started someway, does it mean you can choose to be one? In this drama universe I mean. Now I think Heaven's Postman/ Yami no Matsuei where person start when he was in coma/ died with unresolved issues. I'd rather hope he is not connected too? It would be too much!
here some idea: she colud try to take the job
But it's still one person, she needs three, for this but in general I agree with Scheduler here, it is very difficult to find true tears, people do not cry for person who died they cry for themself.. sad but mostly true
4 episode rule working - we need more clues

Yes, true. And I really liked the colors of the smoke at the funeral. The tears were vanishing into the smoke, and I liked the concept of the colors of it.
As for Scheduler, maybe he was chosen after his human death? Maybe he had some debt toward "Higher Will" and this is some kind of repaying it?
Somehow the figure of a dead guy on the street in Yi Kyeong's past reminded me of him, but 5 years wouldn't be that long.
Then again, in Otherworld, 5 years may be equal to 500 years. There are lot of legends about it.

I'm on my way to put some cuts from various shows (3 of them) on the blog, featuring 49 Days cast. Be patient.

About time flow difference isn't it usually oposite? Here 100 years, in outerlands just few? Taking under account that supernatural beings do not growth old the case is that when unfortunate (or fortunate depending how you look at it) person come back from visit in Outerland everybody known by him/her is already dead or very old. But of course you can just feel that you do your job for years if you are tired by it (I can symphatize with that, my work is driving me crazy most of the time )
About the time: Scheduler moves between worlds - the one of humans and the one of spirits. Probably he feels the weight of both of them. The years of human world may accumulate upon him in the same way like the time spent in the Otherworld.
So yes, 1 day in the Netherworld may be equal to 100 years in the human world, but I have 2 thoughts about that.
1. What if the situation here is reversed? What if the time "out there" flows differently?
2. Those figures above tell us only about the duration and not about the "weight" of the time. We all know that sometimes a year is heavier that 10 years. Maybe the surroundings and the air in the Otherworld makes one feel worn out more easily? Not to mention the task. Scheduler waits for a person's death and witnesses it. Then he sends him/her to the elevator. This is a heavy part, no matter how well he got accustomed to it.
And as I promised: Cuts are prepared and ready^^.
And over 40 new pics for the upcoming episodes^^

Ahhhh~ Ilu is so pretty!Ethlenn wrote:

I hope there will be subs soon, I have no confidence in my Korean listening skills.
I haven't started the series yet, but I just had to say that no Korean pretty-boy can top THIS Death.
So yeah, I shall call him Death Angel from now on. He should be less boy-band-member otherwise.
Not that I mind pretty Reapers, but I'd want Death himself to have more of a presence on screen.
To command attention and awe. To have charm (not prettiness or sexiness) and lots of charisma.
And I don't mind his looks and age. I mind the fact that he's one of them IKEA chairs. Plain wood.
Eeriness and coldness is not the same as being wooden in acting. In fact, they are tough to do.
And this may indeed be a lighter version of a Reaper, but I'd still want to feel he's a supreme being.
But I haven't watched it yet, so I can only comment what I've seen. Also, if he's A Reaper, we're good.
A lesser Reaper boy can look like a Korean idol. I'm ok with that. But not if he's THE Reaper. Nope.
Also, I don't have much trust in a series that casts a pretty-boy as such a being. It reeks fanservice.
Cause unfortunately, with kdrama, the prettier they are, the shallower the show is. Usually, at least.
In the kinds of kdramas that I've seen. Although sometimes more normal looking casts make crap.
But I'm just whining cause I'm sick. I'm expressing worries. Making it clear, since I'm a "western basher".

Well, we have to clean the misunderstandings here. I'm glad there is no word "Reaper" in it, because it indicates the person oneself does the job.
The boy here is some kind of assisstance to the dying people. He doesn't cause the death, and he doesn't control it either.
Angel of Death also indicates the "active" side to it, not "passive", like with messenger. The Scheduler, on the other hand, is perfect.
Uhmm... and I wouldn't put Ilwu in the same category as Kim The Table. Aww, hell, naww!!

Well, if his performance in Take Care of the Young Lady is anything to go by (I sincerely hope it's not), for me, he's in that Kim category.
Well, ok, not that bad, but I still felt like someone had given him Botox in the entire series. I just didn't get any feelings at all from him.
It's good to know the character is only there as an assistance to the passing. Kinda like a tour guide. I'm more pleased with that idea.
So, he's more of a Traffic Regulator. He's a TOP. Traffic Officer Pretty-boy. I like that. And if his acting has improved, I'll like what I see.

But usually Death is not the one who decide. My favorite Death ever comes from Pratchett books and is always waiting for person time to pass and then assist in crossing as well. So I like simillar concept here. In fact there is not one Death but many of them for different beings or even ideologies. And even if he is cool to the point of speaking with capital letters he/it is trying to develop sense of humor and likes cats.... back to the topic
Main point here, you do not need to be some superior being to be Death, Messenger or Scheduler. Being pretty do not hurt, too (and he is not so pretty, handsom is enough). I protest about discriminating people If I had to be sent away I prefer somone good looking to do the job, and nice and polite. Any bones put together and animated are not to be well received! Second point: He is not human and he is suppose to not have human feelings so his acting could be a little off (hopefully for this reason). And for now he is not bad.
BTW he is idol? I do not think so.

I finished the first episode, and while it was mildly interesting, the acting was pretty atrocious all around. The rich brat was annoying (+her acting was the worst!), the convenience store lady was like a log of wood.
But, like I said, it was pretty interesting. I'll probably watch at least a few episodes and see if it gets better. Also, that Han Kang was hot. And of course: oh Ilu, you so fine~ He's a bit too skinny for my taste, but all in all, he was pretty, his character likable and his acting wasn't too bad. I just read an interview where he said his two year break from (mainstream) acting was to study and concentrate on becoming a better actor, so I hope those two years haven't gone to waste!
When it comes to Death or Grim Reaper or supernatural beings in general, I'm pretty lenient in the matter. While old mythologies are cool and all, I don't mind if some characteristics get changed around. It's the creator's choice, and pretty much everything works for me, unless it's utterly ridiculous.

Oh, don't get me wrong. When my time comes, I definitely want a young hottie to show me the way to Heaven. Who wouldn't? We died, it's a consolation prize.
And no, he's no idol, but with the style they gave him, he does look like one. He's a Scheduler with fine taste in clothing and vehicles. Well, as long as he's good.
I do hope them two years did him good. But SSpiegel, you kinda worried me now. The acting sucks? All around? Hope not. It would be a shame, with such a story.
Also, call me crazy, but I'm looking forward to the car crash scene. I guess they either went for sudden and raw or then a more dramatic (and expensive) sequence.
Then again, it's not the accident itself that's important, so I guess no need to over-fancy it up. The premise is very interesting so let's hope they'll do the story justice.

I think maybe a different actress might be better? Lee Yo Won isn't a very versatile actress. She's not convincing enough to act 2 different personalities. I've seen her in a few projects and wasn't that impressed.
It's not how the character is written or portrayed. It's the actress's ability to do it. I give thumbs up to Hyun Bin in secret garden. He did an excellent acting job for switching personalities.

Ethlenn - I get where you're coming from. But, imho, I think there's a difference between being a wooden log and being lifeless and having no will to live. It's indeed a strange combination, but I think she just managed to overact being lifeless, haha!
Overall, the acting was pretty horrid. I had no complaints before the car crash, but after that everything went to hell. Since Korean dramas are known (even infamous) for their melodramatics, I would've expected a bit more when they opened up the waterworks. And well, the main two girls were pretty bad throughout.
Anyway, how awesome was that car crash! Jeez, when you get used to the Hollywood style of two cars crashing and at least one of them instantly turning into a ball of fire, this was indeed something incredible. It definitely pulled my heartstrings. This drama is definitely not all bad, and the story is really interesting, so I'm ready to overlook some stuff. I do hope the acting gets a little better.

Well, Hollywood goes for impressive, not realistic. Also, it depends whether it's an action series/movie or a drama. Dramas tend to be more realistic.
I saw a very "nice" car crash in Medium. A girl was sleeping in the back seat, her parents driving. They showed the accident from the inside of the car.
Here's the video on Youtube
From 1:16 and for a few seconds after, as she is narrating it. I think it's a very creative way to show such a tragic event. It touched me even more like this.
Of course, I don't expect such complex stuff from 49 Days, but it would have been nice to see it. But I'm fine with the raw "Wtf just happened?" approach.
Judging by her look on the promo stills, I guess we probably see it through her perspective. She doesn't realize it and wonders why people ignore her or so.
Damn it, I'm watching this today! Ahahaha!
Edit: Watched the first one. Liked it. Like the Scheduler too. He's kind of a dick, but it's natural since our problems must seem ridiculous to him. He's fun too.
I didn't find the acting that bad. But yeah, the start was rough. I like Miss Pink Ghost. She's brainless enough for a rich girl without being annoyingly bratty.
As for the other actress, I'll see in the next episode. So far, she looked like she was on slo-mo. Which was a bit too much, but I can let it slide if she does well.
As for the guys, really not impressed by either of the "love-rivals". Even Bae Soo Bin sucks for now. Il Woo is doing ok and the 7/11 guy looks nice and all.

I was witness of accident where car catch fire on its own, just like that stoping for traffic lights After this I see such scenes a little differently.
I start to seriously hate groom gay, I admire his focus and determination but still.. I usually like bad characters but this time I feel I will make exception. Pitty that second gay do not work for me too right now, certain something is missing in his acting. Let's give more screen time for Scheduler, he is the best so far!
Jo Hyun Jae tends to be a bit stoic in his acting ^^; But for his character he's playing, it's alright cuz the character is an introvert and inexpressive. Later I think he will change? We'll probably see development for his character later. It's odd, even for his stoic acting, he seems to be charismatic. I don't know how to describe it.
Well, he does sort of convey what the character feels and that's all I need for now, really. Not all humans are expressive and it's hard to tell between "wooden" and "stoic".
But he's definitely not a total Table. At least he won't be, if he amps it up a bit. I do expect him to show feelings when he has to and not just a compilation of same-ish looks.
Cause the way a scene is directed also helps with conveying what's going on. So I need so see more before I credit him as just stoic and not wooden. Or vice versa.

I've seen several of JHJ's projects. I like his dramas actually. And I find him kind of stoic at times but he does have some expressions. They're not big though. But somehow his presence isn't annoying and I find him pretty charismatic. That's why I still watch drama projects he works on. I don't think he's the type to wow you with his acting skills but he's not bad either.
I was a bit bored with episode 4.I don't really care about the characters.. at least not yet. The acting is bugging me a bit too. Just not very convincing. Dream high was even better for me acting wise(not saying much) but I do really like the scheduler.. he tickles my funny bone. I do like the storyline and the scheduler so I will keep on watching for now. Hopefully next week's episodes will engage me a little bit more.
