Life after Life (2024)

Hilarious In First Half, Lost In Second Half

Final verdict 7/10.

This show compiled is 5 hours and 20 minutes long and yet it feels RUSHED, especially at the end where they kept throwing stuff at you in a blink and you miss something major happening way. A bunch of things happen off screen (I assume, maybe I blinked 🤣 ) near the end as well as they jump from one plot change to another.

The overall story they are TRYING to tell isn't bad, it's actually pretty good, the issue comes that there is no sense of world building or what the rules of the world are so you feel lost.

The villians.... existed. They were part of that whole "this could have been better more fleshed out" feeling as we get 3 of them in the show. The 1st and "main" one I feel like they "tried" to give us a story but I have no idea what it was other than wanting to live forever and not forget anything, I "think"? His disciple... Idk what his story was or why he didn't die when he was supposed to, maybe he did and I blinked? The last and 3rd one, the masked person, made the "most" sense but also was severely glossed over on how they were able to get away with the things they got away with 🤣.

The 2nd couple was adorable. Again, I didn't 100% understand everything with them at the end but they were still a really good side couple that was surprising fleshed out for how few scenes they had being 2nd and all.

Our main couple though.... 🤣 They were 100% where it was at during the 1st half of the show. Rolling on the floor laughing antics during one of the storylines. And a couple scenes to make you blush during that time too 🤣

Later though their story kinda goes off the rails and you start talking to the screen about things like "just write a diary!" and "where's that journal?" and "seriously???? You're just going to stand there and not at least try and run?"

For a full and complete breakdown of rating the show...

7/10 - eps 1-3
10/10 - eps 4-12
8/10 - eps 13-18(eps 14 6/10 for editing confusion)
5/10 - eps 19-25

Even if my mind forgets you, my heart will remember you.

For me, this was the perfect mix of funny, heart wrenching and beautiful. Just like life that does not fit neatly in any one category.

I started watching on a whim, and I got hooked so bad so fast. All this is my opinion and my liking, so please just take it like that. But I like good comedy with a hint of heroic, and this seried did that. Being a short drama made up of short episodes it managed to still build a good story arc for both the main couple and the secondary couple and the chemistry between them was great. And by the time they each have fought their own tribulations to help each other, they really grew on mee and made me feel that I too, would be ready to die for them.

*** SPOILER ***

The two main characters are thrown into a no win situation. A FL that must make the ML drink the warter of forgetting to save her master from the annihilation of her soul, and a ML, who had been dodging heavenly officials to avoid being forced to drink it. A love between them was bound to be a disaster, but they found the way out: love that does not want to own the other but to protect the other no matter the cost.

If your heart is scarred from Till the End of the Moon, this can be a natural remedy.
