Escape from the afterlife train in Come Back Ajusshi’s first teaser

by girlfriday

Here’s our first peek at SBS’s upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama Come Back Ajusshi (formerly called Goodbye My Beloved), the “human fantasy comedy” about two ajusshis who get the chance to come back from the dead and tend to some unfinished business by possessing the bodies of Rain (She’s So Lovable) and Oh Yeon-seo (Shine or Go Crazy). The teaser makes it look more like a jailbreak on the way to the afterlife rather than a sanctioned trip, which might make their stay a little more interesting.

The drama is a remake of the Japanese novel Mr. Tsubakiyama’s Seven Days, and Kim In-kwon (Himalaya) stars as a middle-aged middle manager at a department store who dies of overwork one day. He leaves behind a wife (Lee Min-jung) and a 9-year-old daughter, and on the train to the afterlife, he cries and wonders how they’ll live without him.

His “afterlife classmate” is Kim Su-ro (A Gentleman’s Dignity), a former mob boss who became a chef. He’s a loyal and innocent character despite the background, and in the teaser he starts a ruckus on the train, giving the two ajusshis a chance to escape. As they make a break for it, Kim In-kwon cries, “It’s not fair! I can’t go to heaven!”

That’s bad news for Ra Mi-ran (Answer Me 1988), the “soul arrival messenger” who’s expecting them. I hope this makes her their reaper, because OMG would that be hilarious. An ajumma reaper is really the only way you’re going to get those two knuckleheads to do anything. I hope the next teaser has Rain and Oh Yeon-seo in it being possessed by the two ajusshis, because that’s really the big laugh we’re waiting for, right?

Come Back Ajusshi will be helmed by the PD of Rooftop Prince and the writer of 200-Pound Beauty, and follows Remember—Son’s War in late February.

Definitely checking this out! Looks hilarious!
I love Kim Su Roh! And I'm hoping this will be a good project for Rain. Love him but his last project I couldn't even watch cuz the plot sucked.

Not to be mean but how did Kim in-Kwon marry a pretty young wife like Lee Min Jung? Hope there a good back story on that.

Bride of the Century (Kdrama)
My Unfortunate Boyfriend (Kdrama)
Thank You (Kdrama)
Capital Scandal (Kdrama)
Soulmate Season 1 (Kdrama)
Crazy for You (Kdrama)
Midnight Diners (Japanese version)
Love Me if You Dare (Cdrama)
Boss and Me (CDrama)
The Chaser (KDrama)
Tatta Hitotsu no Koi (Jdrama)
Liar Game (I enjoyed the Jdrama ver)
Hero 2014 (Jdrama. Great prosecutor drama that isn't boring but very touching. Best prosecutor drama I have ever watch. Better than any prosecutor drama Kdrama every try to dish out)
Country Princess (Kdrama starring Bae Doo Na)
Someday (Kdrama starring Bae Doo Na)
Doctor X (Jdrama)
Rich Man Poor Woman (Jdrama)
Buzzer Beat (Jdrama)

If you want quirky but fun detectives or mystery Jdrama, I recommend these:
Tricks (all seasons. Super quirky but super fun. Leads have an amazing chemistry and their dialogues are always poking fun of each other's weakness.)
Galileo Season 1
Detective vs Detectives (not quirky but a serious and truly raw detective story)
Ouroboros (If you've seen kdrama "Punch", you'll like this one. Hardly any romance but great bromance. Not quirky but a serious drama)
Border (Serious detective drama with element of ghost seeing. I really really like this drama.)
Nazotoki wa dinner no ato de (rich heiress detective and her butler who solves cases.)

for some reason Viki snagged the rights to just that movie (or maybe it was the 3rd one) but none of the series. WTF.

Not a Rain fan but I'm definitely curious about how the possession of Oh Yeon-seo BY AN AHJUSSI will go down. I hope she's up to it and willing to ruin her image to give us total hilarity. And then there's Ra Mi-ran who is always awesome in her roles.

I'm sure she's willing to do it. Jang Bori was sort of an image-changer for her.

This gives more funny vibes compared to the novel. I'm not positive about the raying because it's against two competitive dramas but i'm really anticipating this one the mosts.

I love all the casting (well not lee min jung) but kim suro, ran mi ran, choi woom youg is a must watch.

So Rain will be a loser ahjussi and Oh Yeon Seo will be a mob boss?this i have to see. They aren't going to be lovers but this pair gonna crack me up so bad

Thanks God lee min jung is not the lead. I would love kang sora but Oh Yeon Seo is much a better choice. She is gorgeous and can act.
Not sure how her acting with an ahjussi inside her body will go but i'll be rooting for her to do good.
