After dying from overwork, Kang Seo-Rim awakens in the afterlife only to be assigned a new job—as a grim reaper responsible for escorting human souls to their end. While carrying out his grim duties, Seo-Rim witnesses Cupid connecting people through love with a golden arrow. Intrigued and dissatisfied with Cupid’s methods, Seo-Rim becomes convinced that he could do a better job bringing meaning to human connections. His interference sparks an unusual partnership—and rivalry—between death and love, leading Seo-Rim to question the value of life, relationships, and what it truly means to guide others toward their fate.
I’m the Grim Reaper thrives on irony. A man who died from exhaustion is now forced to confront life’s fragility daily, all while meddling in matters of love he barely understands himself.
The series blends supernatural humor with thoughtful commentary on modern burnout, loneliness, and the quiet desire for meaningful connections. The dynamic between Seo-Rim and Cupid is playful but layered, gradually evolving from curiosity into something deeper.
This webtoon is ideal for readers who enjoy supernatural slice-of-life stories with light romance, clever humor, and emotional reflection. I’m the Grim Reaper reminds us that even those closest to death may long to understand love.
