interesting plot with top actors
Watched this for Ahn Bo Hyun, turned out stayed for the interesting story and other actors.Shin Hye Sun’s acting is stellar.
Ha Yoon Kyung is so cute.
Lee Chae Min is such a scene stealerrr.
There is no scene that feels like only scene filler. 12 episode is just right, not too long so it’s not draggy and not too short so it doesn’t feel like rushing to end the story.

Great acting from the leads and beautiful cinematography, the plot could have had a better execution
Shin Hye Sun killed it once again. As someone pointed out, rarely do we see female leads look like they are in love with their partner, so openly and without fear. The love mostly comes from their male counterpart's gaze.Now for the negatives, for a 12 episode drama, this one has far too many flashbacks. We really don't need that many flashbacks in one scene just to tell the audience that Jieum is remembering her 1st life and it's bothering her. K drama directors need to treat us like a smart audience. I'm sure Shin Hye Sun can take direction and show the audience what is going on instead of the writing/directing/editing relying on such storytelling crutches. I swear the whole story of the first life could have been wrapped up in the first 15-20 minutes of one episode. In the age of streaming, flashbacks (that we've already seen so many times!) are an unnecessary rewind button.
As for the plot, as someone who didn't read the webtoon, the show spent too much time on the accident and not enough on Jieum and her mysterious lives. And for it to spend so much time on the accident, the resolutions to that storyline were quite plastered on. But still, it was a highlight of my weekends.

Episode 13 :)
The pace was good, even though it's difficult to fit a whole webtoon into 13 episodes.Spoiler alert : We will be getting a 13th episode on Saturday!!
The acting was incredible, and the relationship dynamics were good. I love the OST too; listening to some of the songs, like Star by Colde, triggers my tears instantly.
With episode 12 you may feel that, The only downside you can think of is how, by forgetting her past lives, Ban Ji-Eum forgets her current life. and hasn't remembering her past 18 lives shaped who she is and her personality? Or maybe personality travels through reincarnation, whether you remember it or not. Either way, I won't mark it down for that being unrealistic, as remembering your past lives is already unrealistic.
But in episode 13 there is a twist!
I recommend it to all!

Amor/odio a las adaptaciones
Bueno solo puedo decir que si te gusto el drama te leas el webtoon en el que se basa. Ambas obras por separado están bastante bien, si no viniera del webtoon probablemente me habría gustado más, pero no todo puede ser perfecto.Hay decisiones de cambio que no entiendo porque la obra original me parecía más emocionante y no tenian que inventarse eso de la primera vida de la protagonista con personajes nuevos que no existen. Por eso para mi la segunda mitad fue un descenso de interés sin frenos. La trama principal del accidente es algo secundario y es algo muchísimo mas grande en la obra original.
El actor principal no sabe ponerse triste, desde mi punto de vista, siempre le veo con cara de asco, es como si no supiese que hacer y es una pena, eso si cuando sonríe ilumina la pantalla y me encantó en el capitulo final.
El drama como serie independiente esta bastante bien pero como adaptación no me pareció la mejor y me duele en el alma porque la historia es preciosa y me pico muchísimo

Hoping for Reincarnation to Be Real
"If life gets a bit tough, just think and hold on to a happy memory. Life must move on. "This drama might as well be an arrow to the heart for someone who badly needs someone to be reincarnated right now. The drama's premise is quite a homerun and a heartbreaker at that.
I have high hopes for this drama and was hesitant to watch it as its title implies, see you in my 19th life. I have recently lost my husband of 22 years and I am in a disposition that I desperately wish that everything that was happening to Seo Ha will happen to me too. It was funny for me for the first few episodes as I keep on seeing Shin Hye Sun's character in Mr. Queen. It's like the first few episodes have this Mr. Queen vibe.
Towards the last episodes, I just felt that the drama lacks something....like I thought the story is going to reach its highest heights with an impressive and striking impact. I watched Episode 12 without experiencing that.
Nevertheless, some of the lines in the drama left a great memory for me, and Ahn Bo Yun's smile and mesmerizing eyes are the reasons why I keep on and enjoyed the drama till the end.

Huequito en el corazón
Esta historia se ha ganado un huequito en mi corazón. Al empezarla no tenía grandes expectativas, solo había visto que la recomendaban mucho; pero este drama ha sido sin duda el único que me ha hecho llorar en cada episodio que veía. El hecho de tener recuerdos de vidas pasadas y ver que nadie te cree, que nadie intenta comprender tu dolor continuo durante todas esas vida pasadas, este sentimiento de impotencia y, al mismo tiempo, de soledad.La parte que más me toca el corazón es el último capítulo, donde tiene que decidir si seguir recordando sus vidas anteriores influenciando su vida actual, ya que ahora es feliz; o tener que olvidar esas vidas pasadas junto a las personas que pertenecen al pasado, pero salvando sus vidas al mismo tiempo. Esa fuerza de voluntad que tiene la protagonista de olvidar todo por el bien de los demás, y al mismo tiempo, para acabar con esa eternidad de sufrimiento de recuerdos inconclusos. Me gustan todos los personajes de este drama, pero sobre todo la protagonista. Seo-ha es un buen personaje, pero no atribuiría como la mayor aportación su forma adulta, sino mees mas entrañable su forma infantil, cuando es un niño, aunque le sigo queriendo un montón. También adoro a Cho-Won y a Do-Yoon, y como consiguen estas juntos a pesar de las miradas y expectativas de los demás, Y que decir de An-Pyeong, una masita de amor, que dedicó toda su vida a su tío y a Ban Ji-Eum
Kang Min-Gi me parece un personaje que aporta, aunque no mucho, pero es necesario para que la historia transcurra.
Por otra parte, me encanta como desde pequeña el único propósito que tiene Ban Ji-Eum es reencontrarse con Seo-Ha, ya que él es el único que ha conseguido quitarle esas piedras de sufrimiento de encima y le deja ser libre, vivir una vida normal. Como Seo-Ha se va enamorando progresivamente de ella, sin saber que es Ju-Won. Me parece tan entrañable y bonito que siempre me sacaba una lagrimita.
Lo único que de cierta forma me ha dejado un poco inconclusa es que no le cuenta directamente a su madre que ella es Ju-Won, ya que ella le estuvo esperando a que volviese desde el momento que murió y es la única que no sabe la verdad sobre el retorno de Ju-Won, pero bueno, todo se arregla con un abrazo.
Y, el final, a mi sinceramente me ha gustado como se van acercando a ella y como de cierta forma tiene lagunas en su memoria que le provocan un cierto sentimiento de nostalgia. Y como Seo-Ha utiliza las mismas palabras que Ban Ji-Eum para reconquistarla, ya que esta y seguirá amándola hasta el fin de los tiempos.
Me encanta como actúan los actores, pero sobre todo como transmite la protagonista, como te hace llorar en los momentos que se siente mal, porque lo más importante, es transmitir a través de una pantalla, y nada mas.

Simple and clear review
I loved the scenery, fashion, and ost the most, the plot was okay, it got boring to watch at some points but still watched till the end, they went too slow on some eps and too fast in others which i didn’t like. The acting was on point from the female lead i love her so much, the male lead was honestly boring but hot, decent acting from him, the crying moments were amazing though. One thing about the last episode is how they could've made the female lead write a diary or something (like what they did in the legend of the blue sea) for her to remember everyone around her, also it would’ve been fun if they showed us how her life went after the memory loss.Overall 8/10

So much potential
First things first the OST was amazing. I think that the OST is the reason I enjoyed this so much, it made me feel very nostalgic. The first third was my favourite. Her time as Yoon Juwon was a 10/10 for me. As for her time as Ban Jieum, I enjoyed that best when only Aegyeong knew about her past lives. Once Chowon found out and especially when Seoha found out it kind of felt like "what now?". When her first life started becoming more important I was interested but I think that it was too much. I think that there was too much going on so I wasn't able to connect to the characters, I felt like I didn't know who they were which version of them am I meant to connect with. I felt like I was being pulled in so many different directions that I wasn't able to empathize or connect with any of them apart from the young Seoha and Juwon timeline.If I were to change something I wouldn't have included her first life. I also think it would've been better if only Aegyeong knew about Jieum's past lives.
I'm not mad that I watched this. I have been wanting to watch more dramas with Shin Hyesun after I saw her in Mr. Queen. I think she is an incredible actress. Plus seeing Cha Chung Hwa with Shin Hyesun again was really cute.
Overall I think this story had a lot of potential, and in the beginning it was great but it wasn't able to maintain that feeling for me.

A Female Lead That Know What She Wants? I'm Here For It!
From the bat I'm going to make the disclaimer that I didn't even know this was another webtoon adaptation so whether it did a good job at adapting the webtoon I don't know. Instead, I have two main points I want to touch on.Characters: When I tell you that Ban Ji Eum is one of my favourite female leads of all time, I mean it. With the premise that she's lived multiple lives, comes the bonus that this is highly skilled woman who has lived long enough to know what she wants and how to get it. I was honestly not too excited that the 'rich CEO boyfriend & employee girlfriend' trope was seemingly getting a revival in recent kdramas like ‘King The Land’ since I’m not really a fan of the trope. But this drama did it in a way that made it feel new. She's assertive, smart and chasing her guy with confidence without coming off like a cringy 'girl boss' trope. Shin Hye Sun's wise and otherworldly aura really makes the character of Ban Ji Eum one of my main reasons for loving this show as much as I did. Naturally, Ahn Bo Hyun did an amazing job as always, as did the entire cast. Special shout out to the child actors who really pulled their weight in the flashbacks.
the ending (no spoilers): I've seen a lot of people in their reviews complain about the way this show ends. Without spoiling anything, I get where their disappointment comes from but for me it didn't ruin my viewing experience at all. Was it the direction that I was hoping they were going? No, not really. But I did enjoy the way they tied it back to the first few episodes and although it wasn't the best ending, I still finished this drama feeling satisfied.
The cinematography was great, with the exception of maybe that one sequence in one of her previous lives. I enjoyed the Ost, especially Doyoung since I didn't realize he had done the Ost for this until I suddenly heard his voice lol. Overall, this was a fun drama to me. Out of all the romance dramas that I've seen lately, I'm happy to have finally watched one that interested me from start to finish.

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.
