Don't use drugs, okay?
This happens when you smoke too much weed, and you want to make a show. ?The base of the story is not bad, it was actually funny, but it was way too long, and ridiculous. There were some real meaning behind the story, but the ending ruined everything. Makes no sense. They created a cycle in the finale. You can't change what happened if you don't know what happened.
This is writing 101, and they messed it up.

It's perfect on it's own way.
I have mixed feelings, because this show AMAZING, but I don't think 12 episodes was enough. So many things happened with all these characters, but it felt like this is a sprint rather than a marathon. Honestly, I want to give this show a perfect score, because they portrayed a lot of mental problems really well, and basically every character was likeable in some ways. But as much as I love this show, I can't ignore the fact that, with more episodes or fewer characters, it could've been perfect. Sure, we can say that Da Eun's depression wasn't "cured" after 2 days, because she was in the hospital for months, probably, but it didn't felt like that. I could say the same about basically every other main or side character too. Everyone who had a problem, it was "solved" really fast. What was a bit weird is that I don't think there was any OST in the show, or I just don't remember. The acting was top-notch, just like the writing and directing. The visuals were crazy good, and the overall feeling of the show is perfect. So, even they tried to do too much, I wasn't disappointed. I was funny when it needed, and the whole message of the show is probably the main reason why people should watch this.Honestly, I would love to see another season, with new patients. Not to mention, I want to see Min Deul Re again. She was such a great character. Her cute little romance with Hwang was funny, like watching two puppies meeting for the first time.?
But with Da Eun and Go Yoon, I didn't felt the chemistry, to be honest. It was a bit weird, and I'm glad the love triangle didn't really happen.

LAZY WRITING, AGAIN!
Why they always ruin a great show in the finale? Another lazy writing, at least in the finale. They had 24 episodes to finished it the right way, but no, let's do some stupid stuff. I honestly wouldn't mind if all 3 died. Why? Because at least that would make sense. Also, how on Earth is she was pregnant? They had one night together, and he left her for MONTHS! Are they never read anything about pregnancy? 3 or more months are not 3 weeks! Don't ever tell me the morning sickness is happening after 3+ months. They wanted them to have a kid just because the sake of it? Also, He had many times to kill the King, but no, why would he, right? Not to mention that everything was perfect with his army until the last half of the episode? A totally random guy just betrayed them? The whole show was so great till the finale. Anyone who says, this show is perfect is just another blindfolded fan, nothing more. The writers literally throw away everything they build. I don't mind the happy ending or even the sad ending with them dying with their kid, but I hate lazy writing so much!Was this review helpful to you?

Almost perfect?
Well, it's really hard to write anything about this drama at this moment because I just finished it, so my thoughts are all over the place. But one thing is fore sure: This show needs one or two simple fixes, and it would be perfect. The first half of the season was but slow and sometimes over the top, and I really needed some explanation, that I've got much later. Also, I felt the ending was a bit rushed. These two things aside, it's pretty much perfect. The writing, the OST, the directing, (except the weird look of the flashback scenes) and of course THE ACTING! Holy Mother of Jesus, the acting in this drama is something else. Sure, some people could say I'm a huge IU fan but man, if this drama would be an American show, she would've won an Emmy for her acting! Lee Sun Kyun and IU carried this show like it was nothing. Also, the supporting cast was amazing too. I really loved the brothers, even tho, sometimes I wanted to slap them so hard.? I don't think I will ever forget Lee Ji Ahn and her sweet relationship with her grandma. I was so angry when she died, but it was great to see everyone support and love Ji Ahn. After 21 YEARS, she can be happy finally!!! And thank God for the happy ending, even tho it was rushed, like I said.This show is a MUST for everyone!!!

I have mixed feelings!
Honestly, I started watching this drama because of Park Eun Bin, who has like 30 minute screen time overall?? But I have to be honest. The first couple of episodes were hard to watch, also the makeup for the hair and beards were terrible most of the time and I couldn't focus on the story because of that. I don't know why no one cared about the fake hair and beard on the male characters, but maybe there's a reason for that. After like 30 episode or so, these fantastic actors made me forget every bad thing about this show. It's far from perfect, but overall I think I will watch it again one day when I want to be sad again. I really don't know what the hell is wrong with me, why I love so much shows with sad endings.?I don't really know how to describe what Lee Yo Won, Go Hyun Jung, Kim Nam Gil and Uhm Tae Woong did on this show! All of them are exceptional actors. Also, the music, Jesus Christ! Every time I heard: "Step by step" and "Come people of God" just made me cry, honestly.

Another Kdrama with a soulless ending!
I honestly don't know when will Kdrama writers gonna realize what they're doing for years, is not good!Some of the best shows has the worst ending, and "See You in My 19th Life" is just another example!
The main plot isn't new or extraordinary, we've seen shows like this many times, but it was still interesting, and fun. It was well-written, till the last 2 episodes!
I don't want to go into details, because I don't see the point, but the most disappointing parts of the story are these:
1. They didn't do much with the past lives plot, she was struggling who she should tell the truth for a long time, yet she basically told everyone, except her own mother!
2. The worst part of the story is probably the Minki guy. He came from nowhere, he was like the all-knowing guy, yet we didn't get a single explanation why or how he knows these things, we just had to accept what he says. I mean, where's the proof that Jieum had to forget all of her past lives to save everyone else? That was THE DUMBEST plot EVER! Lazy writing 101!
3. The pacing of the story. It wasn't really stretched or anything, but I still felt, we hardly get anything from the story. The last 2 episode were just bad! I think, they realized they made a mistake, so they fixed everything in 5 seconds, basically.
Other than these, I think this show is pretty good, and enjoyable! The actors did a great job, but sadly, this is just another average fantasy show with a massive potential.
Another overrated Kdrama, but I'm not surprised. Most show here are overrated. Kdrama fans don't like to give low scores.
