Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and sci-fi fans. If you loved Supernatural or The Vampire Diaries, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart, emotional (bring tissues).
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 21 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14: scary moments, a parent's death or loss and peril. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

In his quest for a bride to break his immortal curse, a 939-year-old guardian of souls meets a grim reaper and a sprightly student with a tragic past.
