    Itz a BIG thumbs up!!

    This is a unique and heart-warming story! It deals with the ultimate truth of life. I don't know why it doesn't get the proper viewership but to me it is a gem. People want to stay in illusion it seems. The content is so different than other cheesy dramas. The story is unfolding so nicely.. I am proud of you JCW for choosing this role. The role you are playing is very much like yourself... An angel-like character. Always always love you genuinely. I hope people value this drama! But in India, it is so tough to watch this drama! I would request to give us a proper channel to watch all JCW dramas.

    Death isn't the end

    A young man played by Ji Chang-wook on getting out of prison is immediately pursued by the thugs of a gangster he owes money to. He ends up in a confrontation and has to do community service at a local hospice where a group of people called team genie try to meet the last wish of the occupants. The leader of team genie is played by Sung Dong-il and Choi Soo-young is the feisty nurse who grows to like the new help but will he stay after he has completed his hours ? It is a super cast with many great performance and will warm your heart as the cold and distant unloved orphan finds happiness in his life for the first time. Be prepared to have your heart strings tugged as you witness the final moments of people's lives and the sometime simple and sometime complicated dreams before they die. It has other side stories running through it and is great viewing over the sixteen episodes.

    Despite All was a Healing Journey!! I Love It.

    I Highly recommend this amazing Drama.

    Don't mind bad reviews this show is totally worth the watch.

    Depicts one of the saddest moment of life, but also address major and profound impact terminal illness have among relatives of those people and the long term effects of this traumatic event and its ending. Nonetheless, the show create an important healing journey, of such events on its characters which talks profoundly to viwers thanks to amazing performances, production and cinematography.

    The subplot of the biological father is one of the turn off for me, because the content of the drama it's already heavy and too emotional and his monstrous behavior it's too much to bear. This is my reason for a 9/10 rate.

    As someone with experience with terminal ill patients I think this heavy subject must be treated with care and attention because may be easily become something the viewers end up giving up watching before the closure because of the emotional impact in the memories of such traumas.

    Solid Healing Drama

    This drama was like a warm hug from an old friend during a rainy day.

    Everything about the drama feels very genuine. The plot is realistic, not rushed nor slow, and the dialogues are sincere. Every episode contains a heartwarming story and I found myself tearing up and crying long wet tears each time I watched an episode. It wasn't because the stories were sad, but because how heart touching they were.

    The cast did a fantastic job by presenting us these lovable characters who each have layered personalities. Ji Changwook's acting is masterful yet again, and he brings out a great main character that you would always root for. His micro expressions throughout the drama had me hooked. I loved Soyoung's nurse as well. She was unproblematic, real, extremely kind, and badass as well!

    Everyone else did a remarkable job in every aspect. I never felt time passing when I watched an episode.

    A must see! Definitely recommended.
