See You In My 19th Life (2023)

UN DRAMA UNIQUE EN SON GENRE !

Ce drama possède de nombreuses qualités, il a un excellent OST, un super casting qui sont à l’aise ensemble même hors écran, un passé webtoon qui donne une trame narrative déjà fixe, un visuel sublime et des personnages attachants.

Des le début vous êtes entrainé dans le tourbillon des nombreuses vies vécues par la lead qui sont toutes diversifiées et plus riches et les unes que les autres. Cela rend le personnage principal féminin trés intéréssant et non ennuyeuse. Elle est charmeuse, elle est forte, elle a de la détermination. Cest une femme qu’on aimerait toutes être.

Le lead se veut trés réservé malgré sa corpulence importante et de voir Bo Hyun de cette façon m’ a vraiment ravie car ça contraste vraiment avec son physique.

L’ambiance est spéciale et chaque chose est expliqué petit à petit. On navigue sur pas mal de flashback du passé, ce qui peut desfois rendre les episodes un peu faisant du « sur place » mais dans l’ensemble en 12 episodes on avance super bien !

J’ai adoré l’ambiance, l’alchimie , l’histoire , les jeunes qui interprétaient les leads. Vraiment cest un coup de coeur ! Ne passez pas a côté cest un drama pour les gens intelligents et sensibles !

A Dance with Destiny: See You In My 19th Life's Alluring Tale of Memory and Love!!

This drama stands out as the most beautiful and captivating production of the year, boasting top notch cinematography, mesmerizing OSTs, and exceptional performances from the cast.

Rather than being a direct adaptation of the Manhwa, the concept is taken from a webtoon, and the writers created their own world with beautiful characters. Although there were several changes from the webtoon, I found myself genuinely liking the drama, which left me spellbound. The storyline revolves around a female protagonist who recalls her past 18 lives, embarking on a journey to fulfill an unfinished love from her 18th life while uncovering intriguing mysteries.

One of the drama's standout elements is the portrayal of an unconventional relationship, where the female lead exudes strength while the male lead grapples with post traumatic issues. Their dynamic is refreshing as she takes the lead and he follows, creating a unique and endearing relationship.

The ending of the drama was satisfying, with the female protagonist starting afresh by forgetting all her past memories, putting an end to a 19-life-long curse.

The relationship between the female lead Ban Jieum and her 60+ year old niece Aegyeong from her 17th life was heartwarming to watch.

Among the many memorable scenes, the bridge scene in the 9th episode stood out for its creativity. It beautifully depicted all of Banjieum's past lives walking behind her, symbolizing the interconnectedness of her experiences across time.

Shin Hye Sun's portrayal of Ban Jieum was nothing short of phenomenal, impeccably capturing the emotional depth, strength, and love for her closed ones from past lives.

Equally, Ahn Boh Hyun's casting as Seo Ha initially raised doubts, but he skillfully displayed Seo Ha's vulnerabilities and romantic side, proving himself to be an excellent fit for the role.

The chemistry between the main leads was undeniable, making them my favorite on screen pair from 2023. While the second leads had limited screen time, they also did well, with Ha Yoon Kyung shining in the role of Cho Won.

A character that left lasting impression was Mingi, whose mysterious aura captivated the audience from the beginning until the end. Lee Chae Min's portrayal was stellar, much like his performance in his previous drama CCIR.

The chemistry between the actress playing Aegyeong and Shin Hye Sun was palpable, just as evident as their on screen chemistry in their previous drama, Mr. Queen.

The drama was masterfully filled with numerous plot twists, keeping viewers engaged from start to finish. The character portrayal was praiseworthy, as none of the villains were entirely negative; instead, they were complex and shaded with grey, making them more realistic and intriguing.

The cinematography of the drama was simply breathtaking, elevating every scene to an awe inspiring level. Notably, Episode 9 stood out for its exceptional cinematography, making it an unforgettable visual experience.

The OSTs were perfect additions to the narrative. "Juicy Juicy" by Jo Yuri and "Star" by Colde has to be my most favourite OSTs of 2023.
However, BGM department could have been better as some scenes didn't align well with the background music.

In conclusion this drama is an absolute masterpiece, with brilliant performances and flawless execution. Fantasy lovers should not miss out on this mesmerizing series.
