Started strong but gradually lost its charm
ep1// Interesting and the MC is chic but entertaining. Also, I think he's inadvertently collecting a harem.ep5// 7 year time skip is crazy oh my god. not even midway through the series as well. and with a bunch of unresolved stories. it felt like the end of season 1.
ep11// I'm so confused. what is happening? who are all these people? i'm getting all the characters mixed up. What is the end goal here? I need an explanation.
Also, this series has the most product placement out of all the shows I've ever seen. Most of it so incredibly blatant I end up skipping past the whole segment.
mid ep 16// everything finally happens in the last 2 episodes of the series after dragging on since like episode 7 or something.
end// I seriously don't get how/why this series got such high reviews. the ending is rushed and unsatisfying after promising a clean ending.
it's realistic in that even after the old villain is "defeated" a new one just rises up in their place. But it kinda made the whole series feel like a waste of time. also what was with him dating/marrying the CEO woman all of a sudden? and the super obvious Bali tourism sponsorship was a gross way to end the show. the acting was so bad by the end, but from reading other reviews it seems like that was a because of a bad directing decision.

I dont get the point
Nice cast, i love all those beauty actress. Jo Tae Soeb is the best role in this drama.I dont get the point to against him. He want power, glory, money, all of them, but overall he want to be president, to make Korean great, anyone would want to be like him if they can & no one sure they will want to make Korean great like him.
He always keep his promise, he will protect anyone on his side, especially his secretary Kim Jin Woo (he cried when Kim Jin Woo died).
If someone say he will kill anyone that against him, i think he is right, kill or be kill, that is what a politician must know and that is how this world work.
The reason Han Ji Hyun against Jo Tae Soeb is a joke, because Kim Jin Woo do something bad to many childs include her brother and Jo Tae Soeb slap Jin Woo for that, Jo Tae Soeb doest not want bad thing happen.

No Major Role for Kim Hee Woo , she appears in one episode Then Disappear, then again appear...
This isn't satisfied for my thoughts what I had before start watching this, But it's somehow Not bad at all. Main problem is this drama mainly focused on Kim Hee Woo , you can't say it's also focusing on Cho Tae Seob cause he is like the villain here but no, It's completely focusing on Kim Hee Woo.The Fun Fact is the Main Lead, Kim Hee Ah, she is like a support character here, she isn't visible in so many episodes. As well If she is there But she doesn't have much to do. No romantic relationship or no impact with story , I really felt like she is an support character.
That's the Main problem here, And it same goes for others.
But I can't say this is not worth watching or a bad drama cause I like the story but that's the problem, no major roles for Other Main leads, Specially for Kim Hee Ah character, same goes for Lee Min Soo as well.
This reason actually ate up my appetite for watching kdramas...
Really Disappointed at the END...

The best actor
Lee Joon Gi is perfectly playing the role of Hee Woo. His acting skill is giving life to a webtoon character. And the story is really interesting and keeps you curious about what happens next. You won't loose interest even for a second. Should give it a try. Moreover lee joon gi is one of the best actors. Must watch this drama to see how he's notching his role.Even when I am writing this, it feels like no word can explain how good this drama is!!
Just give it a try guys, you won't regret it. This drama is going to be a hit!!!

He is so staunch, relentless and dauntless and fearless.
Wow! The opening shows Joon His impressive martial Arts skills……but no subtitles yet. I know how Viki works. First day watch with no subtitles, next day watch again with subtitles so you get a double dose of his magic. Just awesome and amazing just to watch him at work once more. Makes me so happy. He is so staunch, relentless and dauntless and fearless. His magnificent skills are showcased in that first episode, but he is worked over first by two larger men and although he beats them he meet another larger man with even stronger skills. He almost chokes him to death but then his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills come to the fore when he is on the ground. His opponent is much larger and stronger than him and flips him even when LJG has dislocated his shoulder. He (the opponent) viciously beats him in the face injects him with a drug and throws him over the side of the high building that they have been fighting on. As he fall he has visions as the cityscape flashes before as he falls. He finds himself standing back on that building watching his killer smoking. He is puzzled and sees a woman in red standing beside him. Is this a reaper? She shows him his past and explains his purpose. She sends him back in time to his school days where he was working in a convenience store. He is amazed with his transformation. Memories of his parents flood his mind and how he mistreated them when his mum always left him breakfast when she went to work early in the morning. Then one day they die and he is sorry for his misconduct In his return to life he runs all the way home to find them still alive. He is so happy to be able to repent for his behaviours. They are amazed with his new actions. They think that they are dreaming. He vows to be a better son and person. Later at school he has a vision of his parents death. He knows the date of their death and wonders if he can stop it. Is he trying to stop them from going to work on that day but fails? So he hurries to meet them when he knows the time and place of the accident where they are killed. He gets there before the car comes and his parents appear. He remembers everything about his previous life. He had looked up all the details of his parents demised so knows exactly what happened. He goes to wait outside his parents work place for them. He walks home with them. He stops them from being hit……..or does he.Well that what I got from it without subtitles.

J'attendais avec impatience cette série pour le retour de Lee Joon Gi surtout depuis la claque Flower of Evil qui est toujours un de mes dramas contemporains préféré.
J'ai pu voir que les avis sont mitigés sur la série et avec le recul, il est vrai qu'elle a des défauts comme les relations de notre héros avec des personnes féminins peu charismatique et peu développé mais aussi un côté un peu invraisemblable dont il faut faire abtraction.
Néanmoins, j'ai adoré ce drama et je l'ai dévoré avec passion ! Pourquoi ? Le rythme haletant de l'intringue, le charisme du protagoniste mais aussi de l'antagoniste principal qui tienne tout le récit à eux deux, une ost parfaite et une photo splendide ....
Again my life est l'exemple type de drama imparfait mais haletant.

Un drama qui n'apporte rien de nouveau mais qui se regarde néanmoins avec un certain plaisir.
Après un premier épisode un peu laborieux selon mon point de vue, le drama démarre enfin dès le deuxième épisode avec une notion que l'on retrouve souvent : le retour en arrière, une deuxième chance pour tout recommencer. Le concept ayant déjà été souvent exploité, je regrette qu'ici il n'y ait aucune explication logique (si logique il doit y avoir) de cette seconde chance, ni pourquoi Han Ji Hyun est "là" (bien que l'on devine comment elle se retrouve elle aussi dans cette situation). N'attendez donc pas de magie, de "la-haut", de cieux etc....malgré cette situation fantastique.La trame principale réside donc autour de la mission du protagoniste : déchoir Jo Tae Seop et ses acolytes de leur position élevée et mal acquise. Pour cela, Kim Hui Wu s'appuiera sur ses connaissances accumulées durant ses enquêtes antérieures et s'entourera d'alliés en conséquence. Un des points positif de ce drama est donc ce jeu d'échec engagé, bien qu' injuste pour Jo Tae Seop (reconnaissons le), qui permet à Kim Hui Wu de nous régaler : Il n'y a rien de plus satisfaisant que de voir les antagonistes perdre pieds et se faire attraper dans un piège à souris dont ils ne voient ni la couleur, ni le son. Rare seront les moments où Kim Hui Wu sera pris au dépourvu et ces rares moments sont rapidement résolus. Ce qui laisse tout de même, malgré le plaisir que nous prenons à voir les antagonistes se faire avoir, un sentiment un peu désagréable que tout est trop facile. Le revers de la médaille est donc cet enchainement de victoire. Le drama joue peu sur la corde du suspense et les antagonistes nous paraissent stupides, gourmands, imbus d'eux même ce qui provoquera leurs pertes. Alors oui, Jo Tae Seop est plutôt intelligent et redoutable...mais je n'ai jamais eu l'impression qu'il était au final une réelle menace pour Kim Hui Wu (sauf dans le premier et l'avant dernier épisode). Je regrette donc que ce jeu d'échec ne soit qu'à sens unique. Un duel qui laisse un arrière goût fade, surtout durant le dernier épisode. J'aurais aimé des adversaires comme on en peut en trouver : "Chef Kim" et son duo hilarant, "Nirvana in Fire" et son protagoniste de génie ou "Vincenzo" et ses vilains merveilleusement machiavéliques par exemple.
Le deuxième point positif est l'action rondement menée, sur fond d'OST entrainant et qui sied à merveille à Lee Jun Ki. Ces moments là sont très sympa à suivre.
Le dernier point positif est la relation dynamique entre Kim Hui Wu avec Lee Min Soo, Woo Yong Soo et Park Sang Man. La touche d'humour et d'émotion est parfaitement amenée par ces 3 personnages qui ont su nous surprendre, et nous faire craquer totalement.
J'ai moins apprécié ses relations avec les 3 protagonistes féminins, plus classique. La conclusion sur l'esquisse d'une "romance", inattendue et illogique, n'a pas réussi à m'étonner ni à faire battre mon coeur. Fade serait le mot qui me viendrait à l'esprit. Il y a pourtant eu des relations en filigrane pour lesquelles j'ai eu mon coeur en émoi comme dans "Taxi driver".
Il aurait été judicieux aussi de creuser en profondeur la relation entre Han Ji Hyun et son frère, ce qui nous laisse malheureusement sur notre faim.
C'est donc un drama qui se laisse regarder, apportant parfois au détour d'un épisode des moments d'humour, de loyauté et de d'action, qui ont su le rendre plaisant à suivre, et cela malgré un scénario bancal, d'antagonistes dénués de charisme, de protagonistes féminins potentiellement badass se révélant au final ennuyante, et d'une fin WTH!

è una serie interessante
scritta bene, ma verso la fine, tutta questa inesorabile forza del male, nonostante la ferma decisione dei protagonisti di combattere per la giustizia, mi sfinisce a livello morale e psicologico.C'è una visione nichilista che la storia sostiene, che toglie il respiro.
I protagonisti sono sostenuti da un cast eccezionale.
Gli attori sono tutti centrati e bravissimi, è un cast da 10 e lode. Lee Joon Gi rende con naturalezza e senza gigioneria il suo personaggio positivo. Come pure Lee Kyung Young è un altissimo interprete del male, senza mai una forzatura.
Ho fatto fatica a finirlo, ma ne consiglio la visione a chi ama il cinema di qualità.

Esse drama é principalmente voltado ao suspense e crime/justiça, então não recomendo para quem vier atrás de romance. A história do Hui Wu (Jong Gi), é voltada de reviravoltas e força de vontade para buscar justiça. Gostei bastante da reviravolta depois da sua ressureição, ele conseguiu algo muito melhor que justiça que não tinha em sua outra vida, que é amigos e família. Ele conseguiu juntar a todos, fazer conexões que o ajudaram a caçar o Jo Tae Sop, mas também o deu amor e paixão.
No começo eu desconfiava de todos que estavam chegando perto dele, até mesmo na sua época universitária. Mas... Percebi que foi em vão, já que o drama deixa claro quem são os vilões e os propensos e sumir. Somente o personagem Lee Min Soo, que ficava um pouco ambíguo sua intenção ao se aproximar do Hui Wu.
Romance? Não temos, pessoal! Porém, depende. Nos comentários cronometrados do Viki, o que eu mais vi foi gente ''shippando'' o Hui Wu com suas amigas. A badgirl do ensino médio que vira jornalista, a sua amiga estudiosa do pré-vestibular que se torna promotora e a gentil universitária que queria uma vida normal e acabou tendo que assumir um conglomerado. Na minha opinião, assim como a de muitos, ele tem química com todas elas, porém a que parecia combinar melhor é a da Jornalista, eles fariam um casal perfeito. Mas como essa review não é de spoiler, irei me aquietar. Porém... Foi algo apressado mas ao mesmo tempo, não foi. Deu pra entender o porque.
Cenas de ação? Temos! A minha parte favorita dos dramas do Lee Jong Gi é a forma que ele se empenha no papel que está exercendo, e como ele tem bastante dramas e filmes de ação, ele acaba por sempre fazer trabalhos incríveis. Sua performance de artes marciais foi muito bem executada, com mistura de taewkondo e jui-jitsu, até por que o ator mesmo é profissional nas duas áreas. Cenas de ação, muito bem desempenhada, não só por ele assim como por todo o elenco que participou das cenas de ação, como o nosso querido ''Hulk Gangster de Gimpo'' e o ''Assassino bonitão, mas doido''. Um ótimo trabalho de toda equipe.
Esse drama te faz ter das mais variadas emoções, porém não é algo ''leve'' e rápido de se ver. Porém é muito intrusivo e viciante.
Pelo que deixou a entender, terá uma segunda temporada onde outro conglomerado tentará acabar com o Hui Wu, só que agora ele é um deputado nomeado, namorado da ***, influente na sociedade e com uma grande redoma de pessoas fortes ao seu lado, mas ele não saberá o que acontecerá igual essa nova vida que foi lhe dada. Provavelmente será bem interessante se tiver uma segunda temporada mesmo. Espero que eles consigam também explorar o romance do Hui Wu bem mais, assim como o de outros possíveis casais, mesmo o drama não sendo focado nisso.
Comecei dia 08/01/2024 e terminei 17/01/2024 - RJ, Brasi.

Segunda chance
Como o nome já diz, Again My Life, o prota conseguiu uma nova chance de viver de novo e poder se vingar. Amei as amizades que ele construiu através dos anos, Hee Woo realmente é um amor de pessoa, maravilhoso em tudo que faz. A jornalista, o nerd da cadeira, e o "armário" foram meus personagens favoritos haha! Ele ter conseguido salvar os pais, foi lindo, eles são muito engraçados!Tava tudo indo incrivelmente bem, tudo tão bem orquestrado, mas infelizmente o ep 15 e 16 caiu as expectativas, uma falha que levou a outra, e a outra, queria muito dar nota 10 pra esse drama mas por conta desses dois últimos eps não foi possível.
O Hee Woo virar político??? Eu ri muito kkkkk
Ele e a Hee Ah namorando??? Sendo que só tiveram química na época da faculdade, se tivessem colocado mais cenas deles flertando teria sido bem melhor.
Obs: a secretaria do deputado é simplesmente maravilhosa, queria um drama só dela!
E com esse final aberto, será que vem uma segunda temporada?
