What I like about this drama is the way they talk about reincarnation and the irony of what would happen if one truly remembers all of one's past lives. I love when a romantic Kdrama adds a twist to the usual romantic plot, and this one adds a great spin with the convergence of past and present lives.
Plot: This drama follows Ban Ji Eum, a woman in her early twenties who is able to remember her past lives, which totals 19 lives. In her 18th life, Yoon Ju Won, died as a 12 year old so, Ji eum plans to reconnect with Mun Seo Ha who was with her the day she died and finds out that he misses her as much as she does. Isn't the plot interesting?
This drama lets the viewers see the trauma and grief endured by those who remain after a life cut short. They have also shown how hard it is for Ji Eum to connect with people from her past lives with the same emotions and how much she still loved them just like her past lives.
In our single life we have many moments which break our hearts into pieces, sometimes we can't even breathe because of the pain we go through. Ji Eum must have lived all those painful moments throughout her 19 lives. The pain of losing people again and again in her multiple lives, what a toll it must have on her soul.
Shin Hye Sun: Her portrayal of Ban Ji Eum is exceptional! She really shows a sense of wisdom and maturity in her speech that is truly special. Sometimes she sounds like a historical lady and the very next moment she switched to a 20th century girl.
Ahn Bo Hyun: I like this actor. He loves to explore his talent. Here his character is soft and vulnerable, you feel like protecting him at all costs.
His deep and at the same time tender and puppy eye look gives life to Seo Ha's character. He is perfect as Seo Ha. The only thing I could maybe add is that we didn't see much of Seo ha's childdishness, but I'll blame that on the lack of episodes and so the lack of scenes we could've seen.
Supporting characters: All 4 supporting characters were important in this drama. When Seo-ha had no one beside him, Do-yun was constantly there to provide a helping hand. Whereas, the relationship between the FL and her 60+ year old niece from her 17th life was heartwarming to watch. The same was with her younger sister of 18th life.
Lee Chae Min's mysterious aura captivated the audience from the beginning until the end. Oh and the Child actors were great too.
Especially the two young ladies who played 18th and young 19th life Ji-eum
Cinematography: Aesthetically it's a beautiful drama. There was a scene when both main leads 1st time saw each other through a fish tank, it's one of the most beautiful encounters of main leads. I loved it! Also, episode 11 and 12 have some breathtaking scenes.
OST: "Star" by Colde, I don't know why but whenever I listen to this song I feel a deep longing in my heart. I miss my dear ones whom I have lost. This song soothes my anxiety.
"I'll embrace your past" by Ahn Bo Hyun, I didn't know that ABH could sing that too with melodious voice. Other OSTs were also perfect additions to the narrative
As a big fan of the original webtoon I was ecstatic when I heard news of it getting a kdrama adaptation but they should have made it for 16 episodes since the webtoon was quite slow paced. They have missed quite a lot of things because of that. But again it was never about the suspense , it was about love, care and relationships which can melt your heart.
The music added to the drama in the right spots, the visuals, and scenery were all wonderful helping to carry the story to the end. The drama's ending leaves a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, tying up loose ends gracefully.

A beautiful story of unrequited love.
I initially watched this drama because of both the main leads but I ended up quite enjoying all the different characters and their stories .I found this drama really soothing and calming.
Personally, I think the first two episodes were quite confusing. The story hinted at multiple characters and flashbacks which aren't explained and we only got some dialogues between characters which didn't really shed any light on what happened to them in the past. But from the next episode we can understand that it is from the FL's perspective, and as she learnt more about the lives of Ha Won (Jung Hae In) and Ji Soo(SFL), we were also taken on that journey with her. So, I would suggest to watch the first 2 episodes patiently because after that it will keep getting better.
The ML is a renowned tech developer and is working on an A. I project which will bring back the love of his life in a small device so you can talk to them as if they were really there and that's how the beautiful story begins.
People who like snappy or fast romance, this drama is not for you. Unfortunately, due to low viewership makers had to rush the plot and because of that, it had some flaws. Instead of 16 episodes they had to cut down to 12 episodes.
Jung Hae In: He never disappoints. His character is very pitiful and lonely as he has suffered a lot.
His life changed when he meets Seo Woo. His slow developing relationship with her saved him and healed his wounds gradually.
Chae Soo Bin: This was a different to her normal role and I think she aced it. She is playing a sound engineer, working in a studio with various musicians. I really liked the way they portrayed her throughout the show. She was the opposite of ML in the fact that she is so open about her feelings and tells them straight forwardly.
Because of its slow pacing, it makes you see details of each and every character. The acting is phenomenal
Chemistry: The thing I liked the best about this show was the relationship between both the leads. Their relationship was slow and steady, then they became eachother's sheild. Trust me it was amazing to watch!
For melodrama and emotional series lovers this series is an art. If you are looking for a drama about healing and character development this show is for you.

I'm glad I have come across this underrated gem! Love affairs in the afternoon is the Korean version of the Japanese 2014 drama Hirugao.
The storyline that covers so many layers from love to marriage, to family and then to the adultery.
No, it doesn't romanticize cheating but it shows you how alone a person can be.
You could feel the pain that the characters went through and see how their actions hurt them and the people around them while having an affair.
This drama also shows why we should think over and over again before we decide to get married.
The cinematography, setting, and the OST's added to why this drama is worth the watch. It helps you to get the mood and theme of the drama which is sad but romantic.
Just love the chemistry and acting of Lee Sang Yeob and Park Ha Sun. They make good couple. They both fit amazingly into introvert type of persons.
Both leads are introvert and honest characters. They both knew that being in an affair is not the right thing to do. But when they are with each other they express themselves better, they are happy. They are themselves.
The second leads did a great job as well. Choi Soo Aah and Do Ha Yoon affair looks really good on screen.
This show gave me a beautiful feeling and I will never be able to get over this drama. The way I felt while watching this drama is completely different. I have watched numerous dramas especially slow-burn dramas but this one always have a special place in my heart.
