Synopsis:

She is given a second chance at life by a reaper, but it comes with a condition: she has to find three people (except her family) who would cry genuine tears for her.

My review:
What caught my eyes to watch this drama was the title itself, 49 days. Because for my belief, it is said that when a person passed away, their soul will come back to make the last visit of their loved ones on the 49th day after they passed away. Thus, I was curious about whether is this 49 days linked to ghost/spirits and indeed, it is somehow linked.
However, don't expect to see anything scary or gross because it is slightly towards the love, family and friends type of relationship plot. Spoiler ahead: Don't expect a happy ending... Sometimes things are meant to be that way. At the end, it felt like a journey ended for the next to begin.
At the end of the show, it's really *thumbsup* for Lee Yo Won's superb acting! Portraying 2 person character of lively self (when possessed by Nam Gyu Ri) and the emotionless self of her original character in the show, I wonder how she did it. Maybe it is combination of her lively self in Surgeon Bong Dal Hee (SBS, 2007) and the emotional-less self in Bad Love (KBS2, 2007), but to do that in a show, that's impressive!
