49 Days has many strengths: beautiful music, enjoyable actors, original plots, lots of great dialogue, and more. But then there are the downsides: some situations are too dramatic (even for Koreans), sometimes you really have to shake your head at the main character's stupid actions, and it might make you bored for a few minutes. Again, I think 16 episodes would have been plenty. A weaker 4 stars. (20/09/2012)

Tedious. I watched it in three days, but that was only because I wanted to get the "burden" off my shoulders. Who wouldn't care if she died or not? But that's true of her entire storyline. I was more interested in the other one's storyline, the one who did the lending. And she also appealed to the Angel of Death, the Scheduler, who cried pretty hard in the end. I confess I shed a tear at the last episode too, not so much for the comatose one, but for the other one and what she found in the backpack. Well. You'll see if you watch. Otherwise, nothing. I didn't connect with them. I didn't sympathize. I didn't care for the OST either. But it left me feeling disillusioned – first, the ending sucked, and second it made me think about my own life. Yikes. A better 2 stars. (27/08/2011)
