May I Help You (2022) - Series Review: "Heroic and Tear-jerking Fiinale"

"May I Help You" ended last night and tells the story of a woman who has the ability to meet the dead whenever she touches their corpse. Hyeri portrayed the woman named Baek Dong-Joo. She works in a funeral home, where she is in charge of the dead's make-up, and it is there that she discovered she has the ability to communicate with them. Though she only has a limited number of people to meet before she is unable to see anyone else.

She met Kim Tae Hee, played by Lee Jun-young, who works in an A Dime A Job, where they accept any legal job and work offer for a fee, such as throwing trash or doing anything that their company can do.He was hired by Dong-Joo's boyfriend to inform her that they were breaking up. Then they started bumping into each other.

Kim Tae-Hee used to be a doctor, but after his younger brother died, he quit. Tae-Hee's younger brother was the first dead Dong-Joo encountered. She was terrified the first time she met the dead and quit her job. But the fact that she was unable to grant the wish of the dead the moment she met Tae-Hee's younger brother keeps recurring in her mind. She tried to fulfill the little brother's wish, but she couldn't find Tae-Hee at the time.

She continues to work in the funeral home to complete the task and grant the wishes of a certain number of people. All of the notes I made in previous episodes, as well as my feelings and thoughts, vanished the moment I began watching the final episode. The beginning of the final episode is truly touching, sad, tear-jerking, and heroic. But, before we get into the final episode emotions, let me share my thoughts on the series as a whole.

The concept of being able to fulfill the last wish of the dead was brilliant. It was terrifying for Dong-Joo, and if it happened to me, I would be terrified as well. But it was kind of satisfying knowing you could let them go in peace knowing the last thing bothering them or the last wish they wanted had been granted.

The story's conflicts were fantastic. The twist on who killed the brother was completely unexpected. I wasn't expecting it, so the second to the last episode was extra special. The cast was very familiar to me, particularly Lee Jun-Young, who I had seen in Class of Lies and Imitation. In My Roommate is a Gumiho, I also saw Hyeri. The cast, combined with the story, makes the entire series enjoyable.

Another thing, the relationship of all the dead that Dong-Joo assisted was revealed at the end, which made me cry yet again. They are the ones who deserve to have their last wish granted. The final episode is truly heroic. I hope that everyone in the world, even in the smallest details, will allow themselves to help others without expecting anything in return simply because it is the right thing to do. A truly heroic and heartbreaking conclusion. Two thumbs up!

Overall, it was a good series with a satisfying conclusion. Even though it there were sad scenes in the last episode, I found it to be fulfilling and satisfying. I would definitely recommend it because it was enjoyable until the end. What do you have to say about this drama?
