See You In My 19th Life (2023)

Whimsical, wholesome and beautiful

I loved the vibes of this drama.

It was so whimsical, unique, fun and swoony.

I loved the chem btw the 2 couples.
Our main was just so cute and sweet. And I will never forget the dancing on the beach scene, it is just ICONIC. and the kind of thing I just love!

The part where her sister believes her was a bit unbelievable for me but I can also understand to some degree still wasn't completely on board with how everyone believed past lives existed just like that. That's my main critique.

I love the vibes and feelings from the first episodes ( 1-9/ one or two up after they got together ). It took me a while to finish coz the pace slowed down my interest much) but also cuzIi was in a slump.

Also, I love the way she calls his name so softly, ✨" Seoha" ✨

They are def one of my favourite couples.

Also through this show, I have found my ideal type; Golden Retriever X serious quiet guy

If you know, you know

I liked the ending but I don't understand why why she went to her job as she just forgot her memories.

But the amnesia wasn't necessary if the whole ' remembering our loved ones from our past life will hurt them. just didn't exist and instead found another way to stop remembering her past lives.

Loved the chemistry of the leads!

Story wise, it was new, cute, and interesting, but after reaching the middle of the series, I realized there isn't much drama and plot twist than I expected. The evil characters weren't so evil after all? The build up and writing from the start was so great it kind of ended flat for me.

Although the ending was quite cute, I wished there was more!! I wanted to see more ahn bo hyun and his adorable acting (we need him in more romcoms!!) and shin hye sun. I really hoped our main leads and side characters had longer moments together, but too bad we only got 12 episodes for this one.

Chemistry of the leads and second leads were amazing for me, that it made this show enjoyable and worth watching.

A drama i watched during my finals. Was it worth it?

I have a few things to say about this kdrama. First of all this kdrama is different and odd from all the other past entwined kdramas I have seen. The storyline has amazing and it got even more interesting towards the end. The ending was logical unlike most kdramas that have to do with unreal concepts or plots. But there's one thing that really bothered me throughout the whole show. And thats how the ml amd fl lead met when they were 9 and 12 and fell in love it might seem really cute but think about it a child and a pre teen falling in love?! Its really weird and creepy imo. The characters were quite dry. The ml and his Secretary literally had no joy in life at all. You'll understand what i mean when you watch the show. Im really satisfied with the ending tho. It was logical and clear and not messy or a sudden happening. Thats it. I still recommend this drama because of the storyline and the progess of its development.

It could have been better...

The first 2 episodes were amazing and I only hoped for more, but the plot confused me over and over again.
It was generally marketed as a love story of her finding her special one in her 19th life, then it turned into a story about grief and how her loved ones were hurting even long after their loved one was gone, then it turned into a murder mystery, then an inheritance war, then another mystery of her trying to remember her past life.

All I'm saying is as good as the plot was they tried to do too much and gave so little back. I wished they fleshed out the story and actually put in little details for it to make sense.

Another problem I had with this drama was that, the dialogue in this drama lacked a lot of chemistry for what it was supposed to be, I couldn't help but but feel bored and zoning out when ever a conversation was happening, the characters seemed so bland when ever they spoke, if they used only facial expressions to act it would have been better than the dialogue I was hearing, the only chemistry I was fond of was between the FL and her sister.

From someone who hasn't read the webtoon, I can understand the Studio Dragon had to make due with what they had but overall I only liked the production (nothing less from this studio), a really beautiful drama but not up to par for what it was supposed to be.

I'll probably give it another chance and rewatch it in the future.
I'll give it a 6 because of the actors

Good story but the end was kind of dissapointing

I will not say much just the necessary. The story captivated me since the beginning and the chemistry between the two protagonists (child and adults) was always on point, that said I think the drama really have a story to be a 16 episodes show. What dissapointed me was that in the end things were solved so fast that it seemed they were rushed to finish.
First, the uncle of Mun-Ha that just admitted his crimes without even think about it, went to jail and that was the end of all the accident story, we didn't saw of something happened with Ji eun's father, if he was caught or not, what happened to her brother, I kind of wanted that he could see that his daughter was the person he killed, and other thing is that the drama shows that his truck was sabotaged and he says that the accidents happened in that magnitude because of the frente system but is just this, it doesn't evolve in anything more.
Second after all this things become faded to end, around episode 10 I was kinda bored because the plot was all solved. The situation in the end was confusing because how can everyone know who she is but not herself, and she just continue doing everything she did before but the principal person of her life that is her mom (the circus uncle) just dissappears of her mind, did she just forget all her infancy? but then how is she in the same place she is today? She cannot say she was with her biological family because their memories were not changed just hers. Also for Cho-won and Mr.Ha, they were all the story saying they could not be together and then one episode they simple forget everything and start being a couple, I was passed with this because there were no development of their characters to arrive in this point of their relationship.
And for the last part I think that it lacked a lot of informatiom about Min-gi and Han-na characters, in the end we continue not knowing who Min-gi is, just that he was someone that was in his 23rd life. Is he still a shaman? Maybe a guide that take other souls that are suffering to complete their journey? We will never know.
.
But despite me over analyzing things it is a good drama. To be honest the soundtrack was what catched my eyes (or ears) first. I heard Colde's music Star on YouTube and that was how I came to see the drama. It is a good story to pass the time, it's new, fresh and kinda cute. I recommend you to watch and take your own conclusions.

Show with promising concept, but it fell short of expectations

I just finished watching this drama and I have to agree with many others that the second half was a bit disappointing. The climax felt like lazy writing and if I hadn't watched it all in one go, I don't think I would have been able to finish it.
However, I did love the OST. It had a heartwarming quality to it. The chemistry between the lead actors was okay, not great but not terrible either.
The memory loss of the female lead at the end was a bit sad but, I don't think she could have lived a normal life if she remembered all of her painful past. I do wish she could remember her 19th life at least.
Overall, the drama was decent, featuring a fantastic concept, but unfortunately, it fell short in its execution and storyline.

Story was so good..

An absolutely beautiful show, *See You in My 19th Life* has surpassed all the other kdramas I've seen thus far. It is exquisitely crafted, with every moment captivating and delightful. The inclusion of *Star by Colde*, adds an extra layer of soothing charm. Interestingly, I had listened to this song even before watching the drama, and it truly complements the storytelling.

The show starts off on a high note, skillfully weaving and entangling its storyline without resorting to the typical love triangles found in other kdramas. Moreover, it successfully avoids the inclusion of toxic characters, making it a refreshing and enjoyable experience. I found myself reminiscing about the show's every moment, unable to tear my eyes away.

Despite having other important tasks at hand, I simply couldn't resist watching it in one go. I implore you not to skip this kdrama; you'll forever regret it.

A must watch 💕

jisoo i get you!!!!!!!! 

i know that every new kdrama can’t be my favorite but this was so good i want to rip my eyes out. 

shin hye sun was such a standout like she ACTED. and i absolutely love love love ha yoon kyung i don’t think anyone could have played cho won like her, like she cries like no one else omg. this was also my first ahn bo hyun drama and i was eeekkking and ahhhing half the time he was on screen. can he pls get type casted from this more cause he played the “emo sad boy don’t touch me but i love you i’ll protect you i’m shy but strong cute boy” guy a little too well. i want cha chung hwa in every show, movie, piece of media, even in my house giving me life advice. i want her to be my mom she is so fabulous. this also wasn’t a drama or character that i ever expected chae min to play, he just always gave me that school boy vibe but he stuck out so much in every scene he was in. gave me a silly little surprise seeing him in here and i will admit seeing him so serious all the time gave me a giggle

it has all the beats of a regular kdrama, so while a little bit predictable, it’s one of those shows where it doesn’t really matter, if that makes sense. the four main characters’ stories made them so loveable and so relatable (maybe except for the second love interest guy he kinda got on my nerves) it touches on grief in a very different and almost healing way than other things i’ve seen. and although it’s very easy to sympathy with seo ha and cho won, ji eums story and her pain stuck with me so much and was such a big part of why i felt like this show touched on reincarnation and different lives in such a calming way. it just felt refreshing. 

the first 8 episodes were perfect and so so comforting and it’s not that the other four weren’t it’s just that i think it fell into the big kdrama ending trap. i kinda wanted more from the big reveal of ji eums first life. i was so excited the whole time to figure out what happened and then when it was revealed it was a bit anticlimactic, but still so so fun none the less. It also kinda was in the middle of being dragged out and too fast so it felt a little weird the last two episodes, so while the first 8 episodes were very romance heavy the last could were very like actiony and serious so it was a bit jarring. But i also think it’s hard for shows like these to balance the thriller action plot and the romance plot. but even tho it has those faults it was still absolutely amazing 

the main couple was the cutest thing i’ve ever seen, i screamed, i cried, i jumped, i had to pause so many times just out of pure butterflies. the build up was absolutely perfect and i think i started talking to my screen pretending j was with them at some points. the second couple had me giggle so much as well which i didn’t think i would, and i think it had a lot to do with cho won. the way she acted and her lines just really made their romance feel like a 2018 kdrama. the guy kinda……was definitely a guy but i think by the end he redeemed himself and i was too focused on cho won half the time so ehhhh idc. all the relationships had so many sparks to them even the platonic ones which just made me fall in love with them even more.

Eu irei ficar do seu lado.

Seo ha e ji eum pra SEMPRE vocês 😭

A história acabou com um final lindo, não esperava que ela realmente fosse escolher esquecer das vidas passadas mas pelo andar da história e de escolher entre lembrar e salvar aqueles que ama ela escolheu o certo e com a confiança do seo ha ela decidiu pelo melhor. Eu gostei muito da evolução da história, de toda a construção, dos personagens. O romance dos dois foi tão lindo, ele no final fazendo a mesma coisa que ela e falando as mesmas coisas🥺 a coisa mais linda do mundo. O meu casal secundário finalmente aconteceu mas esperava mais deles dois juntos, esperei tanto por isso, mas tão bonitinho eles dois.
O final foi otimo, todo mundo lembrando dela e cuidando dela, ela se "despedindo da mãe".

was good, but i still like the webtoon more <3

The story unfolds at a slow pace, likely due to the frequent flashbacks that, while necessary for character development, can sometimes feel drawn out. These flashbacks are essential for helping us understand the characters, particularly as we anticipate when the other characters will realize that Ban Ji Eum is actually Yoon Joo Won (her 18th life). However, I can’t help but feel that the narrative has been a bit flat thus far. In the first four episodes, not much has happened, and we often find ourselves revisiting the same flashback scenes repeatedly.

I also believe that Moon Seo Ha could benefit from seeking help from a psychologist or psychiatrist to address his trauma and mental struggles. His character’s depth could be greatly enhanced with a more nuanced exploration of these issues. Despite these concerns, I’m not ready to drop this drama just yet! If you do choose to stop watching, I highly recommend reading the webtoon instead, as it offers a much more enjoyable and heart-fluttering experience.

On a brighter note, Park So Yi, who plays the younger Ban Ji Eum, is a talented actress and incredibly cute—I can’t help but have heart eyes whenever she’s on screen! Additionally, I’m rooting for Cho Won; she and Ha Do Yoon have a lovely chemistry that I can’t wait to see develop further.

And here’s some good news: the story begins to pick up momentum in episode five! YES! I’m excited to see the sisters reunite, and I’m eager to continue this journey with them!

I PREFER TO WATCH THE SECOND LEAD

Tbh, i enjoy watching the second lead fl and ml more than the main lead. Im getting bored with kdrama romance plot where it’s always about past life and childhood love.

Have you not notice where almost all kdrama romance the writer will include childhood loves or at certain point they met each other when they were kids??

Please drop it. It’s very unnecessary and unrealistic.

I wish there are more scenes between ml and fl of the second lead.

Mettiamola così: se fosse solo per la storia principale riguarderei il drama all'istante.
I primi 4 episodi mi hanno lanciato, non vedevo l'ora di andare avanti, macinavo episodio dopo episodio. Poi il tutto si è riempito di tantissimi momenti morti, di una marea di taglia e cuci passato/presente (scene già viste più volte, mai niente di nuovo) fino ad arrivare all'atto finale che mi ha in parte sconvolta in positivo e in parte delusa. Diciamo che alcune cosine potevano essere gestite meglio, eh.
Ho amato certe scene dolorose e non posso nascondere che in alcuni momenti sono stata proprio male a causa di tutto il dolore che impregna il drama. Dolore, perdita, lutto. Il tutto si concentra su questo.
Ciò che proprio non sono riuscita a digerire sono stati due fattori: troppo, davvero troppo spazio all'altra coppia che è di un rilento mostruoso e "l'intrigo". Ora, hai già una storia tra le mani con un enorme potenziale che praticamente si scrive da sola: perchè infilarci anche questo? A che scopo? A che serve? Non potevano fare un drama fantasy romantico e basta? Troppo semplice, vero?
Avrei voluto dargli un voto molto più alto perchè appunto la storia principale ha meritato tutto il mio tempo, ma non posso tralasciare il resto. Purtroppo.
