A tale of memories and letting go
See You In My 19th Life is a beautiful tale about how one can freeze in time metaphorically and psychologically. There are times in our lives when we can be so deeply hurt by others that we choose to punish ourselves in a circular manner without realizing that we have become the source of our pain. The show’s message of ‘letting go and living on’, through the lives of the characters makes it a heartwarming tale of love, memories, trauma and healing.The show reverberates the message of healing your inner child, healing yourself from your past trauma’s in each of the characters’ stories. Coming to the characters, the chemistry was good between the leads while the supporting cast had their own hold. The first half of the drama was enticing, however the second half got a bit loose towards the climax/final episode.
Nevertheless, See You In My 19th Life is a mesmerizing kdrama that effortlessly blends romance, fantasy, and heartfelt emotions.
My Rating : 7.5/10

Disappointing if you're a webtoon reader
To start, this story is about a woman who reincarnates and remembers her past lives. In her life just before the story's present day, she's a kid who gets killed in a car crash; the male lead, also a kid, is in the car with her and witnesses her die, which seriously traumatizes him as the sole survivor. FL reincarnates and makes it her mission in her current life to find him. She falls in love with him and, in the present day, uses her collective experience to become qualified to join his family's company and his department. The original story breadcrumbs the reincarnation reveal, which is the core of the storyline; this story does not do that well at all.This is an adaptation of one of my favorite manhwa, so I think my expectations were too high and specific going in. While not terrible, there were a few things I found unacceptable in adaptation. For one, Shin Hye Sun is totally miscast. . Ban Ji Eum needs to exude specific qualities for the story to work: wisdom, implacability, mystery, self-assuredness beyond her years, flippancy, and mature flirtatiousness. Shin Hye Sun doesn't have the gravity or strength of character for the role--she seems more suited for more straight-forward roles; all efforts to make her seem older are conveyed through dialogue--she does literally nothing as an actor to convey that she's like hundreds of years old. Honestly, I thought the kid actors did a way better job being precocious and true to character. I also didn't like the costume and makeup choices for her at all; her outfits and dyed hair evoke youthfulness and work completely contrary to associations that would fit the character. Speaking out of her ass about being part of some historical scenes did not work at all. Characterization needs to be conveyed through facial acting, posture, costuming, vocal tone, etc., but here, basically all of her characterization as an adult comes through dialogue and the flashback child acting. I love the manhwa so I'm biased obviously, but if you compare the character design for each, the live action version here seems kind of random when it comes to making decisions about her character.
I was happy to see Ahn Bo Hyun get a lead role and I think he fits the male lead well. I've always thought he was a more dynamic actor than his supporting roles would lead one to believe and 19th Life shows that's true. Unfortunately, the plotting and female lead are far inferior to the source material. Maybe I would've enjoyed this more had I not been familiar with how excellent the webtoon is.

Ive already rewatched
This show is amazing i love reincarnation shows. Ive already watched it twice and will probably watch again in the future. I dont have many favorite kdramas because chinese dramas have more actions and twists and turns than korean shows so korean shows can be a bit slow for me but this one is on another level. I also find it hard to watch anything where one of the leads is not attractive to me,and the female lead here is not,but the storyline was so good i just kept going anyway lol. If youre debating watching just watch it, i dont think you will regret it.Was this review helpful to you?

The best drama
Es uno de los mejores kdramas que he visto. Tiene todo lo que me gusta, te hace llorar, te deja con intriga, es divertido y muy emotivo.El tema de las vidas pasadas me gusta mucho porque creo firmemente en él, y me encanta cómo fue tocado en el drama.
El romance entre Seo Ha y Ji Eum me gustó mucho, porque no hay mucha resistencia entre ellos, Seo Ha va conociendo de nuevo a Ji Eum y se vuelve a enamorar de ella <3
Pero ese finaaaal, me sigue doliendo. Cuando le dice “Puedes irte”. Nooo, bastaaa 😭 lloré mucho, porque a pesar de que todos hacen lo posible para que Ji Eum siga en sus vidas, ella ya no los recuerda y eso me duele mucho.
Igual me gustó demasiado, se convierte en uno de mis favoritos <3

drama yang cocok ditonton pas gabut
eps 1 sangat menjanjikan yang bikin gue tetap lanjutin, tapi makin di lanjut agak bosen, cuma tetap terpaksa aku tonton sampai ending karena ya emang gabut aja sih WKWKWKWK.menurutku terlalu banyak percakapan gak pentingnya di episode pertengahan, percintaan mereka yg bertele-tele, apalagi kisah percintaannya bukan cuma pemeran utama aja tapi juga ada second couplenya, ya walaupun mereka emg penting sih, itu yg bikin bosen pdhl epsnya termasuk dikit cuma 12 tapi berasa lama banget nontonnya.
TAPIIIII, TENTUNYA ADA DONG YG BIKIN SEMANGATT.
1. kisah kisah 19 kehidupan ban jieum, KEK WOWWW, APA GAK CAPEK HIDUP SELAMA ITU WOIII?? DITAMBAH DENGAN SEMUA INGATAN DISEMUA KEHIDUPAN TERSEBUT? berisik banget gak sih isi pikiran dia, gak kebayang😭
2. OST nya, gue sampe gak bisa berkata-kata saking sukanya sama ost drama ini, setiap kali ostnya muncul gue semakin semangat nonton. Dulu ostnya sering seliweran di tiktok tapi gak tau kalo dari drama ini dan skrng jadi tau oemjiii😭❤️
3. INI DRAMA AESTHETIC PARAHHH, lumayan banget buat cuci mataaaaaaaa, aku paling suka adegan mereka nari di pantai❤️❤️❤️

Não tem o devido reconhecimento, mas tem imenso valor.
Vejo você não próxima vida é um dorama lindo, com uma trilha sonora que fez parte do meu top 5 músicas mais escutadas durante todo o ano de 2025, história que conforta, prende, e emociona. É um drama envolvente, incialmente você inicia sem tantas expectativas, mas a medida que conhecemos os personagens, em principal a protagonista, que é muito única e marcante você percebe como a história tem camadas. O casal em si, eu gosto bastante, o fato de ser de diversas vidas, dele gostar dela apesar das suas dificuldades com o passado, e gosto da dinâmica deles juntos também, acho que tem química e é divertido de ver. Não é um 10 pelo final, eu gosto dele, mas queria que tivesse sido mais desenvolvido se fosse pra acabar daquela forma. De qualquer forma é um romance que toca, que é confortável de ver, que trás carinho e boas sensações, e reforço a trilha sonora impecável.Was this review helpful to you?

Huequito en el corazón
Esta historia se ha ganado un huequito en mi corazón. Al empezarla no tenía grandes expectativas, solo había visto que la recomendaban mucho; pero este drama ha sido sin duda el único que me ha hecho llorar en cada episodio que veía. El hecho de tener recuerdos de vidas pasadas y ver que nadie te cree, que nadie intenta comprender tu dolor continuo durante todas esas vida pasadas, este sentimiento de impotencia y, al mismo tiempo, de soledad.La parte que más me toca el corazón es el último capítulo, donde tiene que decidir si seguir recordando sus vidas anteriores influenciando su vida actual, ya que ahora es feliz; o tener que olvidar esas vidas pasadas junto a las personas que pertenecen al pasado, pero salvando sus vidas al mismo tiempo. Esa fuerza de voluntad que tiene la protagonista de olvidar todo por el bien de los demás, y al mismo tiempo, para acabar con esa eternidad de sufrimiento de recuerdos inconclusos. Me gustan todos los personajes de este drama, pero sobre todo la protagonista. Seo-ha es un buen personaje, pero no atribuiría como la mayor aportación su forma adulta, sino mees mas entrañable su forma infantil, cuando es un niño, aunque le sigo queriendo un montón. También adoro a Cho-Won y a Do-Yoon, y como consiguen estas juntos a pesar de las miradas y expectativas de los demás, Y que decir de An-Pyeong, una masita de amor, que dedicó toda su vida a su tío y a Ban Ji-Eum
Kang Min-Gi me parece un personaje que aporta, aunque no mucho, pero es necesario para que la historia transcurra.
Por otra parte, me encanta como desde pequeña el único propósito que tiene Ban Ji-Eum es reencontrarse con Seo-Ha, ya que él es el único que ha conseguido quitarle esas piedras de sufrimiento de encima y le deja ser libre, vivir una vida normal. Como Seo-Ha se va enamorando progresivamente de ella, sin saber que es Ju-Won. Me parece tan entrañable y bonito que siempre me sacaba una lagrimita.
Lo único que de cierta forma me ha dejado un poco inconclusa es que no le cuenta directamente a su madre que ella es Ju-Won, ya que ella le estuvo esperando a que volviese desde el momento que murió y es la única que no sabe la verdad sobre el retorno de Ju-Won, pero bueno, todo se arregla con un abrazo.
Y, el final, a mi sinceramente me ha gustado como se van acercando a ella y como de cierta forma tiene lagunas en su memoria que le provocan un cierto sentimiento de nostalgia. Y como Seo-Ha utiliza las mismas palabras que Ban Ji-Eum para reconquistarla, ya que esta y seguirá amándola hasta el fin de los tiempos.
Me encanta como actúan los actores, pero sobre todo como transmite la protagonista, como te hace llorar en los momentos que se siente mal, porque lo más importante, es transmitir a través de una pantalla, y nada mas.

UN DRAMA UNIQUE EN SON GENRE !
Ce drama possède de nombreuses qualités, il a un excellent OST, un super casting qui sont à l’aise ensemble même hors écran, un passé webtoon qui donne une trame narrative déjà fixe, un visuel sublime et des personnages attachants.Des le début vous êtes entrainé dans le tourbillon des nombreuses vies vécues par la lead qui sont toutes diversifiées et plus riches et les unes que les autres. Cela rend le personnage principal féminin trés intéréssant et non ennuyeuse. Elle est charmeuse, elle est forte, elle a de la détermination. Cest une femme qu’on aimerait toutes être.
Le lead se veut trés réservé malgré sa corpulence importante et de voir Bo Hyun de cette façon m’ a vraiment ravie car ça contraste vraiment avec son physique.
L’ambiance est spéciale et chaque chose est expliqué petit à petit. On navigue sur pas mal de flashback du passé, ce qui peut desfois rendre les episodes un peu faisant du « sur place » mais dans l’ensemble en 12 episodes on avance super bien !
J’ai adoré l’ambiance, l’alchimie , l’histoire , les jeunes qui interprétaient les leads. Vraiment cest un coup de coeur ! Ne passez pas a côté cest un drama pour les gens intelligents et sensibles !
