Song Yi Kyung


... a lonely woman who yearns for someone she loves
... lost her one true love
... works during the night

She has not moved on since the death of her boyfriend. Her suicide attempt was the reason of the massive vehicular mass up which leads to Ji Hyun's accident. While she sleeps after a night's work, Ji Hyun used her body to work in Han Kang's bar and at the same time, collect the three tears. However, Ji Hyun cannot use the body starting 12 midnight.

Han Kang


... an architect who graduated in U.S.
... Ji Hyun's schoolmate in high school
... secretly loves Ji Hyun and doesn't show it
... owns a bar where Yi Kyung (with Ji Hyun using the body) works.

The drama started luring us to believe that he is the man who's about to be engaged to Ji Hyun. But unluckily, he's not. If only he can take the boyfriend's place as he's secretly inlove with Ji Hyun but can't tell her until her accident. He also owns the bar where Yi Kyung (Ji Hyun) works. He is also first to realize that Yi Kyung is indeed Ji Hyun.

Shin Ji Hyun


... a naive and bubbly daddy's girl who is too kind.
... lives a princess-like life.
... has two best friends
... engaged to be married to her soulmate

She's so naive and lives a seemingly perfect life -- having grown-up as a well-provided child with a pretty face. She can laugh on small and unusual things. She's just engaged with her perfect soulmate, Min Ho. Sh's so happy with her life -- having two great best friends (Park Seo Woo and Shin In Jung) who's always by her side. Until, she was caught in an unexpected vehicular accident because of a woman who abruptly crossed the busy street in an attempt to commit suicide. This left her body in a comatose.

However, It is not yet her time to die so the "Scheduler" or the REAPER (since he doesn't want to be called, Angel of Death) gives her a chance to live again in 1 condition -- She has to collect 3 sincere (genuine) tears from people who loves her and cries while thinking of her -- anyone except from her family -- in 49 days.

Kang Min Ho


... the perfect boyfriend of Ji Hyun.
... at first, he's a generous, kind and uber supportive boyfriend.
... is secretly involved with Ji Hyun's bestfriend, In Jung.

He works for Ji Hyun's father. He is also entrusted to manage their company but he has twisted plans. While he is involved with Ji Hyun, he is also secretly dating In Jung -- his fiancee's bestfriend. They are working together to plot bankruptcy against Ji Hyun's family until the accident happened....

Shin In Jung


... Ji Hyun's bestfriend.
... secretly involved with Kang Min Ho
... smart and intelligent
... lives with Ji Hyun's family

She was a great bestfriend. Or so we thought but behind that supportive friend lies a traitor. She is part of the plan to plot bankruptcy against Ji Hyun's family. She has had enough of Ji Hyun who has everything and envy has already taken her.

Scheduler


... a cool and carefree guy
... he happens to be the Reaper / Scheduler
... he cannot remember his past.
... believes he has unfinished business before his death.

A pretty - boy who rides a motorcycle while waiting for the next dead person to go to afterlife. He is in-charge to guide as to who will be next based on their schedules. He attends parties and flirts with girls. He is just a phone-call away when JI Hyun needs help.

He cannot remember who he is before his death. He works as a scheduler because he believes he has an unfinished business just like Ji Hyun.
