A man only got a few months left, in his final stage of cancer, he was not ready to die. And then this strange phenomenon happened. A look-alike devil comes to offer him an exchange. Man has to forfeit one thing to live another day. With this, the week begins with flashbacks of past events, incidences, and people he'd once loved, lost connections and reliving those moments for a second chance. There were cute and funny dialogues between the man and his pet cat, Cabbage, who spoke as a charming gentleman, bringing the story to the fore.

On the other hand, though, I appreciate the notion of the depth about life and what's truly important when time is running out on us. However, there are no details or ideas explored that are sufficiently compelling to my personal preferences.

It is a beautiful story about a man's path towards closure and reconciliation at the end of his life. I do think this story will sit in my heart for a while, leaving the feeling of comfort.
