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.

Hidas ja väritön hyvällä juonella
FL: Mielenkiintoinen ja itsevarma hahmo. Pidin siitä, miten edelliset elämät näkyivät hahmon uusimmassa elämässä, ja miten ne kasvattivat hahmoa. Tuntui kuitenkin siltä, että viimeisessä elämässä FL ainoa tavoite oli saada ML itselleen, eikä hän halunnut muuta elämältään.ML: Sympaattinen, mutta aika väritön hahmo. Lapsuuden trauma näkyi selvästi ML elämässä, eikä hän koskaan päässyt siitä yli. Pidin siitä, miten ML alkoi hitaasti lämpeämään FL, eikä vain yhtäkkiä unohtanut ensirakkauttaan. Sarjan edetessä ML saa jonkin verran syvyyttä hahmoonsa, mutta silti hän jäi jotenkin harmaaksi.
Juoni itsessään on erilainen ja mielenkiintoinen entisten elämien muistamisesta ja uudelleensyntymisestä. Sivuhahmot noudattavat FL ja ML kaavaa: vähän syvyyttä, mutta silti aika harmaita hahmoja. Paikoitellen hitaasti etenevä, mutta silti mukanaan jotenkin pitävä.
Loppu on onnellinen, vaikkakin sille jää vain hetki aikaa. Mukava sarja kerralla katsottavaksi, mutten uudelleen välttämättä katsoisi.

Nem sei se choro ou se sorrio, estou em choque!
Sabem aquele feeling, quando vocês esperaram tanto por uma coisa porque as expetativas estavam lá no alto e depois dão um tombo do tamanho de um elefante? Sou eu neste momento!Estou pasma! Mudaram completamente o plot (felizmente mantiveram as personagens e as suas personalidades tal como no comic), mas a história... a ideia está lá, está é TODA ERRADA! (não posso mencionar metade das coisas que gostaria de mencionar cause spoilers e sou contra isso mesmo que dê para colocar aviso).
Se eu pudesse apagar o comic da memória, I would! Aconselho a quem ainda não o leu a ver o drama primeiro, não quero que fiquem desiludidos como eu fiquei.
Nota: Chowon e Doyun, wholesome couple, estou no céu com o quão fofos são!

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.

La verdad es que me ha gustado mucho en general, sin embargo ha habido algo (que no sabría qué decir) que hizo que no terminara encantándome.
Lo que más me gustó fue que se expusiera, en mayor o menor medida, las otras vidas de la protagonista y principalmente que indicaran la vida que estaba recordando ya que muchas veces nos hacen un lío cuando recuerdan algo del pasado. También me gustó que no hicieran ver que al ser mujer en esta vida lo era en todas, sino que cambiaba de sexo según la vida nueva que le tocaba.
Otra cosa que me gustó mucho es que no han hecho relaciones entre mujeres de rivalidad sino con relaciones sanas y de respeto. Seguramente también aparezcan en otros dramas pero en este me sorprendió bastante.
En general me ha parecido una buena serie y muy recomendable, al ser solo 12 capítulos se ve bastante rápido y la trama se hace ligera la mayor parte del tiempo.
Si estás buscando una serie con una trama un poco diferente, te animo a ver See You in my 19th Life.

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 ?
