A Love Story Across Lifetimes (With a Side of Revenge)
What works really well
The acting – Kim Young-dae kills it playing both the cocky celebrity and the cold, vengeful spirit. Pyo Ye-jin brings just the right balance of strength and vulnerability.
The historical vibes – The Silla-era flashbacks are beautiful, with gorgeous costumes and cinematography.
Emotional depth – There’s plenty of heavy romance, themes of forgiveness, and some heartbreaking moments.
If you’re into reincarnation romance with a touch of historical drama and revenge, you’ll probably enjoy it — just be ready for a slower back half and a bit of angst overload.
If you like Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo or Chicago Typewriter, this might scratch the same itch… but maybe not quite as deeply.
I really wish a spin off from the past life!
