My Review

For starters, this series is a spiritual rollercoaster for me, thoughtprovoking and emotional.

What do we as humans truly know/think/believe about destiny, divinity, and our other lives? What is the truth behind the existence of heavenly and hellish bodies and the ones who rule all? Can supernatural beings experience 'humanly' sensations and emotions?

Do they want to?

... do WE want them to?

To put it simply, this is one of the best Webtoon series I've ever read.

This story portrays its characters as otherworldly as its premise, and I love how it casually explores the concepts of reincarnation, gender norms, and existentialism, all of which I find fascinating.

Almost every episode made me cry (with sadness, happiness, even relief), and the ending leaves me wondering about life and death and everything in between and beyond. It makes me feel like I learnt new things about myself.

I highly recommend this series.
