A story of love, loss, family, and friendship
This drama is beautiful, truly. From the story to the cinematography, everything about See You in my 19th life is amazing. I became aware of this dramas existence a few days before the first episode dropped and I knew I had to at least take a look. This drama follows Ban Ji Eum, a woman in her early twenties who is able to remember her past lives. Her most recent past life, Yoon Ju Won, died as a 12 year old and Ji eum plans to reconnect with the people of Ju Wons life, mainly Mun Seo Ha whom was her first love and who was with her the day she died. However while inserting herself in the life of the now older Seo Ha, they both end up discovering things that will change their lives forever. Does that premise interest you, even if just a bit? Then I beg you to go watch this drama. I truly think this is the best drama I've watched in 2023, the writing, the cinematography, and the OST were all phenomenal and truly made this drama shine. Another thing that made this drama shine is the acting, it was excellent. The two main roles, played by Shin Hye Sun and Ahn Bo Hyun, are not easy roles to play. And both pull it off excellently.If you are a bit hesitant because serious dramas don't really do it for you, please don't give up yet. While this drama is serious overall, it has no shortage of swoon worthy romance scenes and comedic moments.
Overall I highly, highly recommend this drama and I hope my review encourages you to watch it :)

Well made drama with excellent acting and gorgeous cinematography
Great drama overall. This series has excellent casting. The actors were superb — both the adults and the children. Glad to see Ahn Bo-Hyun as the male lead. Shin Hye-Sun was marvelous as the female lead. All the support cast did a great job. The cinematography is gorgeous — landscape shots are beautiful, close-up shots are thoughtful, framing is excellent. The editing is very good — interweaving flashbacks and current storyline scenes are well done. While there are other dramas whose ending is a disappointment, this drama’s final episode does not disappoint. The director did a great job in that there are no useless “filler” scenes. I think the cast and production crew did a fantastic job. I haven’t seen the webtoon so I cannot say if it is faithful to the original story. On its own, it stands as an excellent and well made drama series. I would highly recommend See You in My 19th Life.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
interesting story, but weak execution
See You in My 19th Life - 8,5/10 -kdramainteresting plot and story which showed much more promise than they managed make out of it. At other hand I never read source webtoon... so I cant tell if drama makers didnt manged dig out story potential or that webtoon writer.
Still its quite good drama. Alot comments I read had problems with ending, but not me. It wasnt great ending, but not even bad one.
plot - FL is weird always around 8-12 she gets to remember memories from her past lives. Now its her 19th life and she just got her memories back. She found out she found her true love in 18th life, but she died too soon too young. Her new family aint great either. She decides to find out what happened to her love from 18th life. After she finds him to be alive... she decides to get him back in this life.
genre - romance, supernatural, comedy

Saving the original recipe while adding personal taste
Overall is good. I lowered my expectation bcs of the ML casting is totally off the original webtoon. But they are doing great job at maintaining the original plot. But again I'd give lower score because the made such an ending. They lessen the importance of SML in favor of SFL, ML, and one other supporting character (who turned out to be the main villain). I mean, I got hooked on the webtoon because of the ending plot twist but I'm disappointed in this. Even though, I like how they resolved the problem better than the original.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

É bom, mas falta algo
Comecei esse dorama pq sempre vi todo mundo falando dele.Eu gostei e achei interessante, mas senti falta de algumas coisas e achei o final meio corrido. Mas de toda forma, o final ao mesmo tempo que é lindo, é triste. A forma como eles arquiteram pra que eles pudessem se encontrar de novo e não a esqueceram, da mesma forma como ela não os esqueceu das vidas passadas. A forma como o Seoha usou das mesmas formas e frases para reconquista-lá me emocionou. Mas também é muito triste que ela tenha se esquecido das pessoas que amava.
Enfim, foi um dorama bom e fotografia é muito linda. Uma pena terem apressado algumas coisas.

bittersweet but so good!!
I watched itIt was so good, I loved it
I had read the webtoon and it is different but honestly they did a great job regardless
the FL is an amazing actress wow those emotions I cried just bc of it and the story
it was beautiful honestly
the ending people don’t like bc
*spoiler alert*
she’ll forget her past lives but … were you not watching? she would pray every single life to not remeber her past lives for her next life; it’s what she always wanted, it’s haunting and sad remeber everything that’s happened to her — she wants to lives in peace and those who she loves come to find her and build a relationship with her bc they remeber and it’s so cute! the was ML went and treated FL the same when the tables were turned was just chefs kiss it made me smile although it’s bittersweet it was a good ending in my opinion it made sense - after every episode of FL saying she wishes to forget her pay lives it’s only obvious that’s what’s going to happen! to each their own but, personally, I loved it!!

A matter of fact about past lives
Remembrance of former births', is one of the higher powers. I believe the writer has attained some of this higher knowledge, in order to write this story. As a matter of fact, where one makes a vow deeply in past lives and will try to fulfill it in future lives.However, one does not recall everything in the past lives, it will be bit and pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. It takes time to piece everything together. Except for the last episode: where you need to forget the past lives in order for others to be safe, is not true.
I give it 8.5/10 marks. I sincerely wish that the writer can achieve more transcendent knowledge to write the next story. Keep up the good writing.

i think the ending was really fitting
i think the ending was really fitting. Both got punished by the heavens. Kang Min Ki lived 23 lives repenting what he did to the sisters. And once he had made peace he went to Ban Ji Eum. He was ready to accept whatever choice BJE was to make.And Ban Ji Eum only remembered her 1st life in her 19th because her lesson was to learn letting go of people once they're gone, she had to let go of not only her sister but all the people she loved in her 19 lives. Ahh gosh this was so beautiful, i needed this drama :(

This definitely wasn't the best adaptation I've ever seen.
I watched this drama with my boyfriend, we really hoped it would be good, because the idea is cool, but unfortunately the adaptation of the story wasn't so well executed. To be quite honest, there is no big villain behind the events, what happened was: people making mistakes and regretting them or paying for them too late. Things that left me a little frustrated: The protagonist swore to her mother that she would return, she had the opportunity to say who she was, but she didn't. The poor woman continued to hope that her daughter would return, isn't that cruel? Another point is: If she forgot everything, what life does she return to? She lived with Ae-Kyung, where does she go back to when she forgets everything? In the end, I felt like I had a lot of expectations and they weren't exactly met. It's a drama with an interesting idea, a happy and closed ending, but it's not exactly an unforgettable memory. My favorite part was the soundtrack, I love Sunwoo Jung-a and it was lovely to hear Doyoung too. The scenography is also impeccable, I really liked it, scenes like the cemetery and the beach were beautiful to see. That's all I can remember right now, so I'll end my review here.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

strong start, weak ending
The story has many plot holes but i still enjoyed it very much, until the last two episodes where the story started to make litteraly no sense. As many review say, the ending felt rushed, but also boring at the same time. I haven't read the webtoon so i can't compare the two but i still felt like we were missing some informations for the story to make sens. It really felt like it should have been a 16ep long drama but they suddenly had to make it shorter.Nonetheless i think it is worth watching, particularly for the cast and the romance which were both amazing. I would have rated it at least 8 if it wasn't for the last episodes.

Really good!
Okay there was no second lead for the main character but there was a second lead couple and i was honestly so much more into them!!!I wish they had more screentime and more development fr.
I still liked the main couple, and they developed them really well but i think somewhere in the middle of the story i got a bit bored.
What kept me interested was the flashbacks of jieums past lives, and i lowkey wish the past life she had as a guy (the one who loses his lover) was more touched upon…
I don’t know I just feel like 12 eps for such a complex story isn’t enough and there were so many things to explore.
Overall the acting is AMAZING!!!!
Shin Hyesun never disappoints! I loved her in Mr Queen and I only continued to love her more in her other projects. Such a talented actress.
On another note I gained another kdrama crush, Ahn Dong goo… I hope I see him as a main love interest in a good kdrama one day.
Overall the storyline is really good but could’ve been explored a lot better, it’s worth a watch anyway! Finally a Female lead who isn’t afraid to be confident and dominant. Really loved Jieums character. So emotional, each emotional scene was well acted through. Good Kdrama!
