Competent Cast Meets Incompetent Production.
"Could not connect the dots or the writer refused to let the audience think", I think is one the most annoying tropes among shows these days. This show could have been a mystery for the ages. 19 lives all intertwined to a butterfly effect meeting after a 1000 years for one single purpose but the writer decided to do a simple show with simple story without any consequences.
How it could have been watchable,
The writer could have given every life a purpose such as she is learning to grow and making up for her first life (as if she was cursed for a 1000 years). Make it so that every life was varied in some way and give us a glimpse of at least 2 each episode culminating to making us matching all the puzzles on how it all came to be.
Also it did not seem like the main two leads were meant to be together, yet somehow the writer decided to jerry rig something as flashback material for them to meet and live together. The other 2 past life knowers made no sense and could have been omitted from the whole show or given a reason (such as, they could have been cursed with her and the only way for them to forget is to help her). But it seemed they had their own way of hiding things witch made no sense at all. Why wont you have a well written book on what to do and not to do.
Also, give a reason why they are not super smart or super wealthy as they can just hide their wealth and come back and reclaim it after their reincarnation. Also, with their 1000 years of knowledge getting rich would have been a breeze.
Conclusion, it seems Korean drama has a older actress problem, always trying to take the spotlight but getting outshined by supporting actresses who are younger but given better material to work with. The show started fabulously but dipped to irrelevance quite quickly. I could not in my right mind continue to watch this show after the little girl died after a few episode and the slog of Romcom started.
A message to all directors and writers, "Give me a reason to care about your show after its ending or be forgotten. It is not hard to connect a show which only has 12 episodes. Its a shame most Korean drama has lost its mind and forgot to write deep material that will last a lifetime"
