Is the ML involved in all her lives going back a thousand years? How does she reconnect with her 18th life in…
*SPOILER WARNING*
I'll try to answer while trying NOT to spoil too much (to preserve your enjoyment of the series).
From the Webtoon:
- FL remembers all her memories from all her past lives as she grows up in her current life. She usually remembers everything in childhood, early-age years.
- ML doesn't remember his past lives, though hint: there may be others who do remember. FL is special cause she does remember all her past lives (there exists a reason for this).
- You asked, "How does she reconnect with her 18th life in the 19th life?" To answer this, we need to go over the timeline of her 18th and 19th lives:
- FL's name was JuWon in her 18th life. (born '86). She was years older than ML (born '89) in her 18th life by 3 years. (If I remember correctly, she was around 12 years old and he was around 9 years old when they met).
- FL's 18th life was cut short (she died in '97, I don't want to spoil the story of how she died). (Her death is a core story piece to their relationship with one another).
- Her rebirth happened quickly so in her 19th life, she wasn't much younger than ML. She was reborn as JiEum (in '98). In her 19th life, she is about 9 years younger than SeoHa, the ML!
- A new series, spin off with the original characters is on Korean Webtoon too (https://m.comic.naver.com/webtoon/list?titleId=809590) It is called "See You In My 19th Life - One Piece of Memory" (or pieces of memories). First chapter is out and it shows Ban JiEum's childhood in her 18th life.
Having read the original webtoon, I think Shin HyeSun's image matches the role of Ban JiEum very well.
But the way I imagined Moon SeoHa IRL (based on his appearance in the webtoon) is very different from Ahn BoHyun.
Ex: Ahn BoHyun's image really matched his role, Woong in Yumi's Cells. SeoHa on the other hand................... :D.......
Hopefully Ahn BoHyun's acting skills will help defeat my snap judgement of his fit into the role. I need to trust that the director + casting crew chose the actor best fitted for the role: SeoHa. *Fingers-crossed*
That's great. It always bothered me whenever the cast would smoke on-screen; it made me wonder if they were forced to or they willingly did so. Hopefully the pressure on script-required-smoking lessens with this! Other shows can CGI it too.
Oh, great. Another time-traveling Kdrama. Because we haven't seen that before. And this one has guardian spirits?…
Meh. Even real life is filled with clichés :)
Tale as old as time, really! I enjoy them regardless as long as new elements are added into the mix; a dash of new, a pinch of familiarity, a spin on the formula!
This drama must not be your cup of tea. Sometimes we don't like the taste of a certain tea but other days, we might crave that same tea. Or we might not ever like that tea while others do... Matter of taste afterall. Hope you find a different series more in line with your tastes & satisfaction!
Came across the song "Only Human" by K on my Spotify playlist.. It's the ending song for this j-drama :( Makes me feel sad listening to it, remembering Aya's life and story again.
I'm confused, did you hate her acting in penthouse or her character?
Disliking the antagonist is a compliment to the actor/actress! :) Kim So Yeon is the sweetest person IRL, her acting skills are great that she pulls off characters so unlike her true personality.
Believe me a lot of people would buy it easily because a lot of women try to make her ex regret their break up…
In response to your question, "and why would anyone need a dating coach":
- There are a lot of popular Korean dating coaches on YouTube (or AfreecaTV), amassing over 500k~1m+ followers. They live-stream their content, interact with viewers, answer their questions, get "tips" and money from fans, and edit their content into YT Videos. Those same videos get millions of views. They also go on to publish books with dating advice. (Sometimes those books are bestsellers). So... the audience is there. Examples: 박서아 (Park Seo-ah, singer turned BJ - Broadcasting Jockey), 김달 (Kim Dal), 김유진 (Kim Yoo Jin). - Same reason people seek out therapists, mentors, and coaches for other purposes (employment, financial, interpersonal relationships). There is a need, so there are those that fulfill those needs.
Which is why I thought the character 'BoRa' came about - from those online, internet dating coaches lol
can this drama be watched alone or do you need to watch the previous one first?
I vaguely remember season 1 cause it was so long ago, It'd help to watch season 1 to know their background story but it's not absolutely necessary.You could also Youtube a "summarized" (similar to spark notes for books, quick playthrough) video of thr first season. There are some Korean Youtubers who go through the entire season, shows clips, narrates and shows the story in a <30minute format. It can save you time. They do that for a lot of dramas and movies! Idk if there are english subs but you may find something available
Kim Bum hasn't aged at all! He looks the same as he did in Boys Over Flowers XD Quite good looking! His acting is great too. I loved his reactions when Lee Yeon kept treating him like a kid & when he realized LY wasn't the LY of the present that he knew

I knew it wasn't him but the resemblance is there, slightly
