Definitely a mixed bag
This is one is certainly a mixed bag for me. Honestly I think that Lee Joon Gi has had fair share of good and bad performances over the years but like a lot of drama fans, I was definitely impressed with him in scholar walks the night and again in his latest project last year in flower of evil. I have to say that I wasn’t sure what to expect with him here in Again my Life but he really knocked the ball out of the park. My mixed feelings are pretty divided so i think that it’s best if I try to say what I liked and didn’t like.What I liked…
- Lee Joon Gi was awesome here and gave a good performance but I must admit that veteran actor Lee Kyung Young often stole the spotlight here too.
- The plot concept= it isn’t original. I’m going to say that openly and trust me when I say that I’ve read and watched A LOT of webcomics and productions with this plot premise but it still was pretty interesting and I really liked how they took it forwards in later episodes. ( Especially by exceeding expectations.)
- Execution and Pacing- I actually thought the series did a pretty good job with helping to frame the storyline and keep viewers entertained. I have my own pet peeves about how the storyline panned out at times but I can’t deny that alongside the fantasy, action and legal sides of the drama there was really something for everyone.
Pet peeves
OST- Oh boy I don’t really know where to start with this one. I have to make out that I didn’t think the soundtrack was entirely bad and there was definitely some bangers in there. BUT I must be really straightforward and say that after episodes finished, there weren’t many tracks that really stuck in my mind. Yeah maybe there were a few I could hum along too but for me imao a good OST is when you can listen to it time and time again and then randomly start singing it a few weeks or months later.
Some of the side characters- Okay, I have to say that I’m definitely divided about this one. Honestly I liked a lot of characters in this show but one character who really didn’t sit well with me was Kim Hee Ah. I love the actress Kim Ji Eun but her character was a little bland in retrospect and I definitely feel as though there was so much more to explore with her. ( A potential romance or at least a more defined friendship with the ML feeling missing from the show.)
The ending- I’ve noticed a lot of reviewers seem to share my views on this one. It’s a brilliant show even into the second half and there’s enough to keep you intrigued but the final two episodes just felt messy. The pacing felt choppy and the actual conclusion given was satisfactory but seriously rushed and didn’t really feel as though it belonged in the same show that had given us time and effort to work out details of the earlier storyline.
Overall thoughts; definitely a mixed bag as I’ve mentioned in my top comment. I didn’t think it was bad and there are so many positive things to say about this one. Though there were a few letdowns. 7.5/10.

Boring, boring, boring…
I love romance dramas and I love office dramas. So when I heard about a drama that not only starred Song Kang and Park Min Young but something different from your typical workplace setting i was all in.I do think there are a lot of good things to say about the show. The focus on weather forecasting is definitely pretty different from anything I’m typically used to and honestly some of my favorite moments were from this series because of some really aesthetic scenes here and there.
But my main problem with Forecasting Love and Weather was that it felt a bit soulless. I might be in a real minority here but I honestly couldn’t feel anything with the characters. We’ve seen the concept of jealous exes before alongside misunderstandings but it was hard for me to really say that there were many moments where I could at least feel pity for the leads or be engaged.
I think that maybe some people will love this series but this definitely wasn’t worth it for me.
