If this show, with this title, were American it would probably "ironically" be about some rude self obsessed bartenders and waitstaff, and it's even different from the similarly named British classic comedy Are You Being Served? Which was more of class-war statement about the stiff upper lip of the British middle and upper classes and the trod upon, eccentric working class people who sold them clothes in the 1970s.
No, this charming Korean supernatural fantasy drama isn't even horror - it's legitimately about helping other people. Specifically helping the dead and their families ... though the twenty-something funeral director is stressed and resistant about her fate for obvious reasons.
I guess this could be compared to Highway to Heaven or Touched by an Angel except it has a decidedly Buddhist angle as well as Christian rather than being rigidly Christofascist. The servants of the dead are entirely human and flawed, not angelic or perfect.
I came back after watching more episodes to raise the rating of this excellent K-Drama. I mean if you look at a K-Drama for what it is (a soap opera) this is a really great show, I actually found it highly addictive and couldn't stop watching it. I loved the main characters.
