Kim Young Soo, a department store worker, tragically dies in an accident. In the afterlife, he pleads for a chance to return to resolve the misunderstandings surrounding his death and console his grieving wife, Shin Da Hye. Alongside him is Han Gi Tak, a rugged chef with his own unresolved issues from his past life. Their request is granted, but they must return in new, unfamiliar bodies and are forbidden from revealing their true identities. Young Soo's reincarnation shares the appearance of the department store's new chief, adding complexity to their mission, while Gi Tak returns in a woman's body. With limited time, they must work tirelessly against all odds to ensure the well-being of their loved ones in their absence. (Source: MyDramaList) ~~ Adapted from the novel "Tsubakiyama Kacho no Nanokakan" by Jiro Asada. Edit Translation

Write Review Completed Charming92 89 people found this review helpful Other reviews by this user 8 Apr 15, 2016 16 of 16 episodes seen Completed 8 Overall 9.5 Story 10 Acting/Cast 10 Music 9.5 Rewatch Value 8.5 You know how there are separate tv show genres. There is comedy, trying to make us laugh, romance, trying to fullfil our dreamy need for love, drama, depicting life with a realistic touch, melo, hitting our emotions with exaggerated stories ect. Usually tv series decide what genre they want to be and focus on that, sometimes we get amazing blends like rom-coms, or melo-dramas, sometimes failed ones. Please Come Back Mister was a magnificent show that not only fused everything together perfectly, but managed to be so much more than i expect from a tv show! STORY PCBM's story is completely unique and one of a kind. It centers two men who die wrongfully but are sent back to life in different bodies to conclude any unfinished business they might have. Help their loved ones with their problems, give them closure and help them move on, but most importantly they are sent back to get to know theirselves better, understand their mistakes, and try to right them. This is exactly the show's main premise. We need to look at our lives in a not one-dimensional way. Life isn't about just working, no matter how pure our intentions are, people might get hurt because of our ignorance. Life isn't about being in the background because we believe our loved ones don't deserve us. We are perfect the way we are. PCBM gives several messages about life decisions, family, friendship, work place attidute and problems, marriage and more. This drama was literally a gem, not because of its uncommon story, not because it blends several genres together in the best way possible, but because superficially is the funniest show ever, but if someone decides to scratch the surface and dig deeper the show assesses life itself and sends tons of messages and meanings that were all truly wonderful and heartwarming. Beware that this is not your average romcom -thank god-, this is deep, it is serious, it is emotional, it is heartbreaking but still it is safe to say that the comedy is executed perfectly. Furthrermore, another thing that deserves mentioning is the fact that this drama broke the 16-episode drama usual plan. You know how everything is amazing in the beginning, and slowly everything falls into place around episode 10 and the last 4-5 episodes are just filler ones, pulling and dragging the story around. PCBM, not only broke this stupid rule, not only it was the only 'comedy' that had actual plot twists but it managed to never be boring, always have a purpose and be interesting until the very last minute. ACTING It was widely argued that the acting here was bad, either i missed something, or .... 'people' missed something, or were just dead set on hating. The acting here was impeccable, coming from an amazing ensemble cast. I have learned from my stay in kdramaland that it is unrealistic to ask the actors to have great chemistry when the dramas are so small in lenght. They don't have the time to develop a chemistry and when it is there (rarely) i am thankful and grateful. The actors here not only managed to have great chemistry in their possible romantic connections, but literally EVERYONE had excellent chemistry with everyone in their respective relationships. This is possibly the most unique thing about this drama. The cast clicked so perfectly together, it was completely unrealistic! I'll start with my favourite, Oh Yeon Seo. Her character was difficult to pull off, and very fundemental for the show to make sense. She needed to act manly, tough, and still stay femine, not look stupid, look badass and emotional. The woman was IMPECCABLE, a standing ovation from me, she was shivering in everything she did. No words are enough. In many ways she was the show. And when i thought she was going to overshadow everyone, Rain came to the picture. His quixotic talent to slip through different emotions in a matter of seconds shocked me. He could go from crying to laughing in a split second without ever looking fake or his emotions forced. First actor in kdramaland that pulled that off, and he was completely up there with OYS for what -if i may- could call THE BEST DUO EVER in kdramaland. Lee Min Jung, Lee Ha Nui, Lee Tae Hwan, literally everyone was exquisite in their role, no words are enough to describe this awesomeness, that nobody should overlook. RECOMMEND/REWATCH Overall, this show might not be for everyone, since it is completely different from your usual kdrama. The humor is different, the romance is present but not the way people want it, the plot is completely innovative and might not be accepted by everyone. In my book innovation=win, but from what i've gathered from my stay in kdramaland, kdrama fans like their chiche stories. So, if you are ready for something completely different than what you are used to, ready to laugh and cry at the same time (i'm not exaggerating), you should definately give this a chance. This is a marvelous show not to be missed. Definately rewatch-worthy, first show ever that triggered so many emotions simultaneously.

Yes No Cancel Completed Manpreet 29 people found this review helpful Other reviews by this user 1 Apr 14, 2016 16 of 16 episodes seen Completed 1 Overall 9.5 Story 10 Acting/Cast 9.5 Music 9.0 Rewatch Value 7.0 This drama reminded me why I watch dramas. It was so amazing and I thnk I will remember this show for a long time and watch the ost to replay the feels. Storywise I was really surprised at how they handled the body switch and the show let me experience such a warmth that I felt like I was being healed and became a better person by just sitting and watching. Overall, it is a drama worth watching AND the ending is quite well thought out. The epilogues at the end of the episodes were also hilarious and felt like a breath of fresh air because they kinda told a diffrent story which still had connection to the drama. That said, I have also felt that the actors were so commited to their roles that they left an deep impression on me and I would not be lying if I say that this drama conveyed to me how importand the actors are in order for you to feel the situation. The music played also an essential part in creating an interesting vibe and the choices vary much. I would say that the reason for that is the stroy. The show is partly a comedy and melodrama but both genres are fitting and it doesn't seem out of place (for the most part). Hope I got you motivated to give it a try :) haha. Thx for reading
