There must be something in the air at the production studios that has them working so hard to create such enticing soundtracks that have you engrossed and close to tears when you hear the song come on in the background as the scene plays out. Because honestly first there was the amazing OST from the Descendants of the Sun (hereafter DOTS) that had me swooning over the characters and now there’s this OST that has me near tears as it connects me on some level with the characters of this next drama that has me intrigued with its storyline that is quite hard to predict the outcome of to be honest.
Please Come Back, Mister is an interesting Korean drama that started the same time as DOTS but seemed to receive less attention yet to be honest the storyline attracted me more in terms of its supernatural quality. But I guess that’s a personal preference on my part. The story follows two men who have died recently, an overworked and underpaid man by the name of Kim Yong-Soo who seemingly committed suicide and the other man, Han Gi-Tak who died tragically in a car accident.
As luck would have it the two unrelated men meet on a train in the afterlife and become relatively close to one another, or as close as two people can get in the span of a few minutes on your way to the end of your life. However, things take a turn for the strange as Kim Yoo-Soo realises he isn’t ready to go just yet and decides to jump off the train. Due to various reasons Han Gi-Tak joins him and the two find themselves in a dusty room with a very lovable character, Maya, who has come to arrange for their return to earth with a set of specific rules.
Upon their return the two men discover they have awoken in different bodies to their original ones and we see Kim Yoo-Soo in a very handsome reformed shape that even he himself can’t help admiring, while the tough and rough Han Gi-Tak finds himself in a whole other situation that he is not pleased with. One where he has lost his fighting muscle which has been traded in for a petite and very feminine body he has no idea how to handle.
The hilarious results that come from their discovering how to handle their new selves is pure entertainment alone but more fun comes from their discovery of each other and the various situations they get themselves into while trying to see how things have progressed since their death.
Honestly it’s hard to imagine how the storyline will go as each surprise and twist gives an intriguing dilemma to the reincarnated duo that have a limited time to deal with their unfinished business before their time to hop back on that train comes and they have to be off for real into that lovely sunset in the sky.
I have to admit that it does seem almost too extreme at times where there doesn’t seem like the story is going anywhere. But overall I like how they also don’t make it seem like the dead duo are invincible as the villain wins every now and then, however I’d like to see a few wins just to keep my interest in the show at least, this is just a drama after all you know…
Anyhow, for a supernatural rollercoaster show it does deliver in giggles and eye candy, it just needs some work in moving the story forward in a more faster pace, or maybe I’ve been spoiled by the fast pace of DOTS, I don’t know, whichever it is I can’t say this show isn’t worth a watch, because it is. At least that is my humble opinion.
The feels on this track tho~
