Tomorrow
For me, hallmarks of a good fantasy series are 1. believability and 2. having good special effects. They often go hand-in-hand, and that’s exactly what you’ll find in the K-Drama Tomorrow. The show takes you on a journey with Choi Jun-woong, a young South Korean who just can’t seem to find a job. Choi gets in an accident and meets two Grim Reapers, Koo Ryeon and Lim Ryung Gu, who work on a team with a unique mission in the afterlife: suicide prevention.
After the accident, Choi joins Koo and Lim on the team, which tracks down people at risk of suicide using an app and investigates how they got to that point in order to help them. The series is still ongoing, with new episodes released every week. The subject matter is a bit dark, and the show can be a bit heavy, so I pace myself with this one and make sure to throw in some funny shows to cleanse my mind.
Warning: This series mentions suicide and depicts attempts of suicide. It’s very important to exercise caution when watching it. If you are struggling or having thoughts of suicide, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
