Please Come Back, Mister (Hangul: 돌아와요 아저씨; RR: Dorawayo Ajeossi) is a 2016 South Korean television series starring Rain, Oh Yeon-seo, Kim In-kwon, Kim Soo-ro, Lee Min-jung, Lee Ha-nui, Choi Won-young and Yoon Park, based on the Japanese novel published in 2002, Mr. Tsubakiyama's Seven Days by Jirō Asada. It aired on SBS from 24 February to 14 April 2016 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes.

Kim Young-soo (Kim In-kwon) is a section chief in the women’s apparel section at Sunjin's department store. He and his wife Shin Da-hye (Lee Min-jung) do not get along because his long work hours and constant overtime distract him from home.

Han Gi-tak (Kim Soo-ro) is a former gangster who runs a restaurant.

Her ex-husband, Cha Jae-gook (Choi Won-young) has whipped up a scandal to force her to give him their child, and threatens Yi-yeon with it. Just as Gi-tak figures this out, he gets in a car accident and is killed at the same time as Young-soo.

Young-soo and Gi-tak both arrive in the afterlife, but they both feel that they must return: Young-soo to reconcile with his wife and prove his death was not a suicide, and Gi-tak to protect Yi-yeon. They are given two months and return to life in new bodies: Young-soo as Lee Hae-joon (Rain), a handsome young man; and Gi-tak as Han Hong-nan (Oh Yeon-seo), a pretty young woman. They have three rules:
