First drama/series I started and finished watching online. Not an easy feat for people like me who go ADHD in the worldwide web. But with a little bit of determination (which I wish I also have on much important endeavors), I finally finished 49 Days.
A local series called 100 Days is airing the same time I found out about this drama. Although I have an inkling that our 100 is loosely based from Korea's 49. Feel ko lang. But even if the two shows have the same premise- two souls with unfinished businesses- the storyline differs greatly from one another. In 49 Days, Shin Ji-hyun gets into an accident and because it's not yet "her time," she's given 49 days to get three people to cry for her out of real, pure love. Family excluded as they give unconditional love to their children and siblings. And the condition is she has to live in someone else's body but she can't tell anyone her real identity. If she gets these three tears before her 49 days end, she'll be given another chance in life. But if not, she'll go on to the other side.
Musings about 49 Days:
- First up, this is one helluva good-looking cast. Being the ketanders that I am, I'm only familiar with Jo Hyun-Jae (Love Letter), who is also ketanders himself. Lee Yo-won who reminds me of a cross between Alice Dixson and Marian Rivera is indeed very, very pretty and a good actress to boot. Lee whose acting shifts from almost catatonic Song Yi-kyung to bursting with energy Ji-hyun often and she played each part impeccably. In-young is beautiful as well. Pati yung extra na doctor cute eh.
- If I were to die, would I take 49 days to look at my life from another perspective? A part of me wants to but another part does not. Sometimes, it's better not to know, yes? Mamamatay ka na lang, mamomroblema ka pa? Diba? But it would be tempting to take the chance to live again albeit through another person's body. But then again it would only be torturous to do so- wanting to hold your loved ones, wanting to say your proper goodbye but can't. I think I'd take it. At least you could say you tried :)
- I know the world's so screwed up nowadays but I still can't believe that someone could be so selfish and evil? In-jung was almost family to Ji-hyun. They treated her as their own but because of her selfishness and greed, she wanted to destroy them. She could have just resorted to petty ways but I don't understand why the need for such large-scale destruction. Actually, she and Min-ho were good actors to play their roles for so long. Hindi ba nakakapagod? But maybe with so much hatred in their hearts, they're too focused on bringing others down with them. Life is such- some people are born into affluence.
- Still I can't get the logic of liking someone for far too long. Han Kang liked Ji-hyun back when they were still in high school and since then he hasn't moved on. There wasn't any mention that he dated other girls but still, after all 10++ years, he's still stuck on her. Baka hirap lang talaga mag-move on, like someone I know... tsk.
- The Scheduler was pretty funny, too. I wasn't much of a fan of his 'look.' But aside from that, he was a nice twist to the story. Well, I kinda figured out that he was somehow connected to this web. Feel ko lang. Turned out, I was right.
- I got the ending I wanted and what's cool about it is it has this twist at the end that I totally didn't expect, not even a peep. It was a nice twist, actually. Although you would think where did that come from. There was no mention of it for the past 19 episodes and come episode 20, it hits us right in the face. Yes, I liked the twist but I hope they've hinted about that in the earlier episodes. Happy ending for everyone! Yay!
Next drama: Yoon Eun-hye's Lie To Me ☺
