I honestly feel like this just shows so much contempt for the source material.

Why does this drama feel the need to add in so much angst that wasn’t in the webcomic? It’s okay to have some moments that are lighter, especially in the last ep

It made no sense for her to forget everything, like why she’s wearing a ring? Phhttttt.

but in all honesty, these 12 episodes also dragged in the middle..

I agree that the trend of rushing romance plots into the last ten minutes of a story is really frustrating. I just watched a drama where they left it to the closing scene to confirm they got together. I have enjoyed the shorter length dramas where they have kept the writing tight so let’s hope they do that with the final episode as I have enjoyed the story telling in this one.

I loved episode 9 and 10 combined. I loved how they resolved the mystery of Ji Eum’s past. It was sweet that they were true to the webtoon here. I was waiting for the Carousel scene and it didn’t disappoint. Ji Eum walking with 18th of her incarnations following was beautiful. I loved the sweet moments that we got. I must add the Swarovski PPL had me laughing. I was like Seo Ha, boy you prepared well. It fit though with the sweet scenes. I love how shy Seo Ha is and how Ji Eum has to initiate almost all of their skinship. I am curious about the past life. I know they’ll resolve it more or less same but they have taken a few creative liberties which frankly I think adds some much needed complexity. I think it is because they have dropped a major plot line from the webtoon so they made up for it that way. Also, love, love the cinematography. I am hoping they give us ample second lead scenes in the remaining episodes. Cutting episodes down to 12, made the second leads suffer. Anyway, I think the episodes were a solid 7.5 out of 10 for me.

I’m still loving it! It’s an absolutely excellent viewing experience for me.

You’re not alone! 🤚 Me – I’m enjoying See You In My 19th Life!! I like the plot, the actors, and the pace. I’m not in the recap threads, either.

I really like it! Things I particularly love:

The bright summery palette – and the fact that it was filmed in warm weather, so the characters can wear light clothes and enjoy the sunshine or warm evenings. Much as I love a tailored wool coat, it just feels so much lighter when no one needs one. And Cho-won’s garden in full summer bloom is glorious.

The main characters – the FL’s weirdness and don’t-give-a-damn attitude, the ML’s befuddlement (and the poor guy’s sadness and guilt), the SFL’s brightness, and the SML’s superficial churlishness make an interesting mix.

Ae-gyeong. ❤

The remembered reincarnations aren’t a totally new concept, but the way they’re handled here is new to me and keeps me guessing.

The swimming pools, especially the blue-tiled hotel pool and the ML’s steamy refuge at home. We’ve seen so many traumatic drowning/near drowning episodes in other dramas that it’s great to see water as a refuge and source of comfort, even as it also sometimes reinforces Seo-ha’s isolation and silence.

The pretty pretty people. I admit it, I’m shallower than the shallow end of those pools.

I like the whimsy, I like the colors….Its a vibrant drama. I don’t mind the cliches. I love all 4 leads, Ae Gyeong….the music is soothing. Seo Ha being so traumatized of new relationships and taking one step forward and 2 step backwards isn’t surprising to me. Just going by the draka, Ji Eum bulldozed his life and has given him good reasons to be weary. She is Joo Won and hasn’t tried to act like she isn’t. So I get why the guilt, the confusion made him push her back after taking a step forward with her. He is human and he does crave warmth, affection and a safe space with loved ones. I also understood why Ji Eum just couldn’t let him suffer anymore. Firstly, she knows she can prove it..2. She does love Seo Ha and wants to ease his pain fast….given the circumstances, she has every reason to confess…because survivors guilt aside, a lot more has been unloaded on Seo Ha very fast and it made her desperate in wanting to protect him. So, episode 7 and 8, made sense. This will not be one of the stories where the male leads falls in love without knowing the identity, this is very much a story where his love is based on past connections. So, I can’t wait for episode 9 and 10 where Seo Ha and Joo Won/Ban Ji Eum take the burden off two lifetimes.

I’m liking it. I basically swallowed the first 4 episodes whole (from 11 pm -3 am one night) and cried all the way through them. The kids were so good in those episodes. I like how the show goes back and into her lives and shows us different vignettes about her lives.

I am loving the little scenes from her past lives, the gorgeous scenery, and the music fits really well. I am excited to see the connections between the characters in her first life with now. I love the second couple and looking forward to their get together. The clothes for the main characters are great thankfully not too much, if any, women in ridiculously short skirts or uncomfortable shoes. I love that they knew we needed to know the outfits were a quality brand and see the range. When you go on the store website they have the actress modelling for them😊

Please can you drop the post for this weeks episodes😊 We are not dependent on the weecap drop so we can post whatever whenever and I am looking forward to talking about the beauty of this week’s episodes

I don’t blame you.

☹ I get it. Maybe try the recaps for HeartBeat, King the Land, or Numbers? There’s a lot of joy and enthusiasm in those threads – and a lot of fun to be had in those shows.

I just ignore it.

For this drama, you need to accept the original idea and go with it. After 8 episodes, some people are still questionning it, it’s kinda useless. So I don’t mind their comments.

By now I know the people who are enjoying and watching it. I just read their comments and ignore the rest.
I on the other hand feel that this show really needed 16 episodes. The emotional aspects and growth would be more impactful then.

I binge-watch, and skip the comments especially for shows I’m loving. That way I can enjoy my watch to my heart’s content.

I do look at comments for shows I’m not enjoying. It has a few benefits. Cooling down my anger. Showing me new outlooks I haven’t considered. Finding solace in reading like-minded comments.

I like reading both appreciative and critical comments about shows, but I do feel like things have become very critical around here. Sometimes I wonder if a lot of Beanies have just been watching dramas for too long with no breaks and have become jaded, because a lot of discussions seem to be missing that spark of enjoyment. I also can’t remember when the last time we had a drama where the recaps were just pure JOY. That seemed to happen a few times a year previously where dramas really took off here and everyone had a shared sense of obsession. I miss that feeling!

I’m sorry it has been keeping you away from the site! I haven’t been around much because of Life but posts like this remind me that I should make an effort to post comments when I’m really enjoying a show, because sharing the joy of watching dramas is what made me fall in love with this site in the first place

I am so glad you commented on your fan wall so that those of us who are enjoying the show can join you here. If you want to post your comments here after reading the weecaps we can come find you and join in if that would be something that works for you but no pressure if you don’t have the inclination.

Reading the recaps and comments for a show I am interested in has always been (an enjoyable) part of my watching journey, so it’s really a pity when we can’t do that. I feel you.

A lot of shows I like weren’t even recapped here, some were but didn’t attract a lot of comments, that’s why sometimes when I really wanted to express my feeling about a show, I plucked up my courage and posted something on my fan wall.

Please talk about a show you like on your fan wall when you’re in the mood for it, there’re always beanies who share your sentiments. They’ll come and join you.

This scene with the changing background colors due to the fireworks is easily one of the most beautiful scenes I’ve seen from dramaland. The director is doing a really good job at integrating the cinematography with the mood and feel. Yay for female PDs, they get it! Plus, the show is hitting on all the right spots.

toooo good

I feel so sorry for her. Her life was doomed the moment she met Tae, there’s no way out, and it just keeps getting worse. As much as I hate the evil officers, I really hope Tae stays the f*** out of her life. Girl just tries to live her life in peace 😭

Isn’t that the traditional firework festival? If they actually filmed at the actual place, it is gonna be breathtaking.

I sort of felt the same way, as if they have some link in the past, although I’m not sure any of them know about it.

But very self aware. Her self awareness is the only thing I liked about her character. In another drama, that character is an example of a deluded and entitled SFL that must get the man at all cost.

This makes me wish LDH had been a part of extraordinary you. He does comedy so well, I’m sure he would have fit right in.
