Nam Il Woo

Su Hong (Kim Dong Wook) was a budding legal student who was killed while on duty while doing his military service. He then returned as a vengeful spirit to punish those who wronged him and his family. But he has now been taken into the afterlife, where he must pass a series of trials – assisted by the otherworldly guardians Hae Won Maek (Joo Ji Hoon), Lee Deok Choon (Kim Hyang Gi), and Gang Rim (Ha Jung Woo) – if he is to gain reincarnation. The guardians, too, have much to gain from this: If Su Hong is reincarnated, they too will be allowed to return to the mortal sphere.

The king of the underworld (Lee Jung Jae) says he will allow Su Hong to be reincarnated, but one condition: The guardians must take the life of an old man who has been alive for too long. This old man has guardians of his own, a household deity as well as a mortal hero – his grandson Sung Ju (Ma Dong Seok). The trio’s quest becomes ever more difficult as their quest inadvertently sucks them back into their past lives…

“Along With the Gods: The Last 49 Days” is a 2018 South Korean movie that was directed by Kim Yong Hwa.

Along With the Gods: The Last 49 Days

✨Reincarnate if you can✨

At forty-two, Han Tae Il (Hwang Jung Min) is well settled into his life as a low-level thug. Roaming the streets of Gunsan, Tae Il makes a living by collecting debts for a local loan shark and harassing shop owners to make their monthly protection payments to the small gang he regularly works for. Though detested by many, Tae Il has no qualms about his job. He’s simply satisfied doing what he does best.

Living with his brother, Han Young Il (Kwak Do Wan) and his family, Tae Il is perfectly content to be a part of his brother’s happy domestic life; yet he has never dreamed of having one of his own. Having never been in love, Tae Il has never given the idea much thought. But when a job brings Joo Ho Jung (Han Hye Jin), a pretty bank clerk struggling to care for her terminally ill and debt-ridden father, into his life, things take an unexpected turn. Forcing Ho Jung to sign an impossible contract, Tae Il doesn’t think much about it. At least not until he realizes he can’t seem to get Ho Jung off his mind. Feeling bad for the contract he made her sign, Tae Il offers her a different contract, but only on the condition that she agrees to go out with him.

Despite their awful and rocky beginnings, Tae Il and Ho Jung soon find themselves coming to enjoy each other’s company. Realizing he has fallen in love for the very first time, Tae Il couldn’t be happier; but an awful truth soon takes that all away. Will this man in love find the strength to overcome one of life’s most cruel fates?
