Episode 5:Just started watching no subs. Has it flashed forward in time? His does so in this episode.Someone has been charged with murder and he obviously saying he never did it. Looks like the son has arrived and tries to see his dad. He is a school boy. Hee-woo arrives to talk to him. He must believe in him and is going to help him. He probably already knows the truth. So he is going to work to get the dad cleared. He goes to Jang Il Hyeon (Prosecutor) with his ideas. Jang Il Hyeon interviews witnesses . Because of this the dad is released. Hee-woo knew tis from his past life.This secret Law Club really believes he is part of them. Maybe they are not with Cho Tae Seob yet.Is it exam time and Kim Han-mi is sitting her exam. Hee-woo gives her two pens for good luck. The boy is in the exam with her. They both pass. Her dad is not supportive but Hee-woo encourages her to be what she wants to be. Maybe not law but something else.His parents aren’t happy when he goes to the shop. Has he received his conscription papers?He goes to his mentor and gives him back the bank book. He reflects on the events of his new life. The mum is sad to send him off to camp. Kim Hee-ah comes to see him off. Is his assistant the boy who’s father he saved?When he returns is he now a Prosecutor? He arrives at his office. Gives his office staff heaps of work to do and goes to see his mentor.What do they need a bag full of money for? He’s in a pool hall. I sense a fight coming up. So it’s a gambling hall hidden behind. Gambling….is it illegal in Korea. I better check that out.So he goes in full bore. His boss is not happy. He is in trouble. So until tomorrow.

Episode 4:I keep wondering what has Cho Tae Seob done to this woman or what will he do for her to become a reaper. At this stage and time frame. Does she know Wee-hoo or not? So many questions but so intrigued. Does he groom children from childhood?Oh Min Guk is having drinks with Kim Hee-ah when Hee-woo turns up.That guy is still watching her. Is she the one from the Cheonha Group? She is the female main actor in this drama. Oh Min Guk gets very drunk and Hee-woo sends him home in a taxi. Kim Hee-ah has disappeared when Hee-woo turns around. I man is following her. He fights with Hee-woo. The guy is a good fighter. He is obviously trained. Kim Hee-ah sees them fighting she knows him. He must be her body guard. Someone is watching him training. Cheonha Group is watching him. They know now that Hee-woo is an extraordinary student. That bodyguard knows he trains and that he is very strong. They are impressed with him. Kim Hee-ah especially is totally impressed. She hates Cho Tae Seob.Hee-woo has a way with woman but he needs to be careful that they don’t take advantage of his sweetness and kindness. Oh Min Guk introduces him to a friend. Something bad happened to this new student friend. It is hard to tell what his dilemma id without subs even tough we have some sort of flashback. What is Cho Tae Seob talking about with Kim Hee-ah’s father. Why is Cho Tae Seob male secretary begging. Is he telling him to eliminate someone. It's not the secretary it is someone else. Looks like he is being killed as the assassin comes in to take him away. It looks like it is the new friends father. This last part is all wrong. Whar happened was that the new friend created an app. Remember this was 2007. It is an app for smart phones that will change the way we use our phones. A manager from Cheonha Group is trying to steal the apps but is prevented with Hee-woos help. This manager ends up killed by Dr K.

Episode 3:So he is fighting the guy that killed him but he is immovable. Kim Hee-woo is just wasting his energy. That guy is so much stronger that he is. It’s just like watching his first fight with him and he is just getting pummelled. I personally just hate watching LJG getting hurt like that. Finally he’s just technically knocked out like before with no fight left in him. Is he going to die again? Obviously not. He’s the main actor. What is going to happen to him. It’s like a reenactment. Oh No! He is thrown over the bridge but surprise surprise. Yeah! Watch it! “Again my Life”He’s going to toughen himself up by the looks of things. More gruelling workouts on the cards. The trainer is good. Really good. He is really muscular too. Wow! Kim Hee-woo is going to be much stronger he is even running with weights.He has got a way with the ladies that he has got to know and changed their destiny .The photography in this drama is immaculate and crystal clear.LJG must be happy that he is working with one of the veterans of Korean actors guild - Lee Soon Jae. He is very old now 87 but he’s still got it.He is sussing out some of the key players and the property market. I’m not up with the play on that. Now he is talking to the tenants that are being evicted. He is seeking legal advice from a lawyer he worked with to gain experience. He is going to the auctions. He must have won on his bid.What is Kim Han-mi dad up to he seems to be buying her off or something. Is that her brother that caused her to be slapped by her dad.Koreans have a high culture of drinking their problems away. Is she telling Kim Hee-woo her sad story.There is a lot of dialogue in this episode really need subs now. I know I have to wait which gives me time to dissect all of the acting and body language. Long dialogue is hard to interpret without Korean understanding or subtitles.Kim Hee-woo is meeting with the Law student body President.Is the Pres. recruiting him (Kim Hee-woo) for Cho Tae Seob cartel ( remember no subs yet)? I’m just guessing! He is meeting key players. He lived before so he already knows what type of people he is dealing with. Is he going to join their club so he can get information? He keeps meeting up with that old man. Who is he? I’m looking up cast information. He seems to be a helpful person. Lee Soon-jae as Woo Yong-soo, a rich businessman who mentors Hee-woo regarding real estate investments. So that is what he is doing.Hee-woo goes to a Cho Tae Seob rally. He sees a woman. She looks exactly like that red reaper that he met when he died. She said they may meet again.

Episode 2:This was much harder to understand without subtitles but I get the drift that because of his prior knowledge of events he can predict what going to happen and he goes out of his way to change the events of people who are close to him both those he knows and those he doesn’t. He is working slowly and carefully through these challenges. He quietly watches and listens behind scenes as he gathers information against the evil doers.When I’m rewatching (with subtitles) and making a comparison with the first and second episode. I see that he is pretty arrogant, ambitious and over confident in the that first part. He just jumps in with no thought of the consequences as a result what happens….. Second time around because of his previous experiences he is more cautious and looks like he is going to find the the damning evidence about the evil doers before he makes his next move. He is sussing out all of the conspirators and how they all fit in together. In his first life he got under their skin of so many high profile people no wonder he was killed. He needs to gather his evidence more throughly this new time that he is given. He is told that if he is too hasty he might be killed again.The slowness of the subtitles input has given me a chance to really investigate what is happening in this drama and analyse every part of it very closely. Love it so far. He is the master at work.One of things I do understand is that his martial art strengths have enabled him to protect himself and loved ones against violence and bullies.

My curiosity lead me to this.I found this very thought provoking but I don't think that it is beneficial to the Japanese Community. As a person living in a country thousands of miles from Japan. It depicts Japan as a country riddle with sexual offences that exploits women. Japanese women rise up and fight against this.For myself I think of Japan as a place of glorious mountains, vivid and unique architecture, cherry blossom and kind hearted people. This drama blew away all of my blissful thinking, but I still want to visit Japan.The woman Morita Misato acting as Megume was outstanding in vocalising her beliefs about her body freedom but this is just the opinion of just one woman. Most woman do not believe the same as her.It was interesting learning about the porn industry in Japan. I still think its about the exploitation of females for the enjoyment of men. Japan is so good at that. Remember the history of comfort women. So for my opinion this is a good drama to open your eyes about learning to value women and treat them better. Men we weren’t made purely for your sexual pleasure. There is more to sex than that. Here is just the opinion of one woman.
