Another Korean drama that is quite powerful. The setting is modern day Korea in Jumadeung, which is the company that manages Korean grim reapers. The Director of Jumadeung has created (controversially I might add) a Risk Management Team, whose purpose is to find people seeking suicide and help steer their life to avoid that ultimate sin. It is a small team and gets an "intern" of sorts when a guy in a coma joins the team for a 6-month stint while waiting to wake up. So it is a bit cheeky, and has its fun buddy-team moments. But it also takes on deep and emotional topics as each episode is focused on a person seeking or near suicide. The series hits many of the major mental health mountains that people struggle with every day (body image, relationships, bullying, self image, depression, money, loss of a loved one, terminal diagnosis, sexual assault, etc. ). And it doesn't just gloss over them, but really exposes the struggle. Highly recommend.
5 stars (out of 5)
