The Story
A reclusive college student is visited by a Grim Reaper who was once her first love. Now, with just a week left to live, he asks her to write a bucket list of things he can help her achieve before her death. And as he stays by her side, he will try to help her overcome the grief and guilt she has carried about his death. But as her time draws near, she begins to realize how much she actually has to live for and all the things she will miss.
My Personal Thoughts and Ratings
‘Way Back Love’ is a heartbreaking fantasy romance about overcoming grief and guilt. This series is short, yet surprisingly full of hearty topics and complex characters. In my opinion, this gem is seriously underrated. The story is touching and the message of healing is powerful and poignant.
But even for a short 6 episode drama, this one is slow moving and the darker themes of grief and death may not be for everyone. Also, if you don’t enjoy fantasy drama, the Grim Reaper element may not be for you. But I enjoyed the thought-provoking series and it has lingered with me long after the final credits. I give ‘Way Back Love’ a 10 out of 10 ramen.
