Is there a way that two people can just love each other all their lives and not end up in marriage?

Have you ever met somebody you are drawn to for no reason at all? As they say, there is someone in this world destined to be our partner in a lifetime..in another lifetime or the other.

Do you think past lives are real? Stuck in the nightmare of their past, two people who remembered their past lives because of an accident 27 years ago again met in the present time. Fate or destiny is something Korean culture is obsessed with or perhaps its not only them but every person in this world. The idea that somewhere in the world, there is somebody meant for each of us.

Genre-wise it's a refreshing breath of fresh air from the usual rom-com and relationship-dramas genre. As it touches on opinions about marriage, family, staying single but wanting to have kids which I believe raises a lot of eyebrows in Korean society.

Part of the plot is challenging the ever imminent Korean culture and stand on marriage. Our FL Hyun Joo (Hwang Jun Eum) here totally challenges that. From the very beginning, she announced that she wants to stay married to herself. Our ML Ji Woo (played by Yoon Hyun Min) on the other hand, married our female lead in all three past lives and yet all 3 ended up in a tragedy.

If the antagonist in a story stirred emotions like anger and distraught, she/he must be effective in that role just like the villain here in the story. This is how I feel about Seon Hee in the first parts of the series.

The story is funny at one point, especially the bromance. The romance and kisses were sweet but legit. Hyun Min definitely knows how to kiss!

There are slow moments in the story to the point that I abhor impatience towards Ji Woo. I was screaming and wishing he would spring into action to build suspense and thrill to the whole episode. Luckily, I didn’t give up and continued watching. You should too.

Also, there are some episodes with epilogues, so try to stay until the end per episode so as not to miss out on them.
