Overall I really like the premise, even if it isn’t my perception of a grim reaper. I was trying to finish the series before writing this, but season one is 16 episodes and they are all like over an hour each. So this is only the first 7 episodes. More or less.

The main character we are following is Mun. He is an exception to the rule as he wasn’t in a coma when he became possessed by the entity. The host that the entity was in died, and a proper replacement couldn’t be found in time. So she merged with Mun, a high school kid whose parents died in a car accident about 10 years ago. The other three members of the team track him down and begin explaining his new circumstances.

The foundation of this series is about him coming to terms with his new abilities, but also how it impacts his life. The other three members of the team were given a second chance at life. So for them there was a decision made. Return to life with conditions or go back to the coma until you are dead. So they had the rules ingrained in them. A big one being not to be concerned with human life things. They are allowed a little bit of enjoyment in their new life, but mostly they need to focus on their new duty.

But not Mun. Right off the bat we see he has a problem at his school with bullies. Kids of wealthy families perpetrating the bully behavior and the school and police being unwilling to act. Covering up rather than aiding those in need. Mun uses his newfound skills at fighting to thwart the bullies. Leading to a positive experience and situation for the entire school. But the bullies decide to step up their game in order to reassert their authority.

As things escalate, the team tries to rein him in to prevent him from crossing a line. But the line doesn’t matter to him as much. He enjoys his new abilities, but he doesn’t revert back to a coma if he crosses the line. And he views it as wrong to have these abilities and not use them to make things better in society.

And while Mun does get a reprimand of sorts from the Entities, his team not only understands why he is doing what he is doing, but the team even comes to his defense against the Entities. Chastising them back. Because the Entities expect the team to jump when they are told to. But the Entities never give any consideration to the team themselves.

Which leads to another team member, Mo-Tak, looking into the incident that put him into a coma. He was a cop and still has some contacts, but a side effect of their condition is that they don’t have great memory of their past life. Mo-Tak is taking it to a higher level though as he has begun actively ignoring the Entities while he tracks down leads to solve his attempted murder.

I’m being intentionally vague here about some details because I have really enjoyed the show so far. And there is some real and hard moments of emotion the characters deal with. Not what I was expecting when I signed up to watch this series. But I have been thoroughly enjoying it. And season two has come out before I finished season one! That means 16 more episodes of likely over an hour each. Gahhhh. Stop threatening me with a good time. I still have to work in finishing season one. And apparently there are real life things I am supposed to be doing. Which I disagree with on a fundamental level. Doing this site and playing games should be allowed to be enough. Why do I need to make money too? And why am I griping about this in a review?

So you want a number. I often find myself considering a level of 8. Because to be a 10 you need perfection. And how often do we achieve perfection? We don’t even flirt with it often. As it stands with how much I have watched, I give this a solid 8. It’s not flirting with perfection, but it’s damn good. And I shall be balancing watching it with other random things I write to you about here. And will likely revisit this series with a follow up review for the second half of season one. Did I mention it can be watched on Netflix? Have I mentioned such previously for anything? Sometimes I have. I think I need to be more diligent about it.
