The premise

A fantasy medical drama about a high-ranking grim reaper named Kkok Du, who is the only being to exist in the underworld. Every 99 years, the cold and cruel Kkok Du must take a break from his job in the underworld and spend 49 days in the mortal realm—and this time, he winds up inhabiting the body of the human Do Jin Woo. While living as Do Jin Woo, he meets Han Gye Jeol, a female doctor who has the mysterious ability to order Kkok Du around.

Horror Vault's take

Every 99 years, the imperious grim reaper Kkok Du is forced out of the underworld and into a mortal body for 49 days — a punishment that lands him squarely in the life of a sharp-witted female doctor with a strange, inexplicable hold over him. What begins as an uneasy coexistence between two wildly mismatched souls slowly unravels deeper mysteries connecting their pasts. This Korean fantasy drama weaves romance and dark mythology into a medical setting, balancing warmth and melancholy in equal measure.
