About
You’ll like this if you want an earnest, tear-leaning drama with romance and a haunting afterlife twist, similar in vibe to Message in a Bottle or The Longest Ride; Not for you if you dislike bittersweet grief stories or feel supernatural plotlines should be explained more clearly.
Pros: emotional and heartfelt; strong lead performance; beautiful Pacific Northwest feel | Cons: romance feels odd; some dull stretches; ending disappoints some viewers
