tvN announces lineup for reincarnation romance See You in My 19th Life

by Jenzy

With tvN’s fantasy reincarnation drama See You in My 19th Life moving full steam ahead into production, cast and plot setup have been announced, promising yearn and lots of it.

Based on the webtoon of the same name by Lee Hye, the plot follows the protagonist Ban Ji-eum, played by Shin Hye-sun (Mr. Queen), who has the unique ability to remember her past lives — all 19 of them to be exact. She’s lived across hundreds of years, but it isn’t until her 18th incarnation as Yoon Joo-won is cut short by an accident that she decides to use her 19th life and look for her loved ones again.

This leads us to the two other characters left heartbroken after Joo-won’s passing. On one hand, we have Moon Seo-ha, played by Ahn Bo-hyun (Yumi’s Cells 2). He was in love with Joo-won who he met when he was 12, and losing her led him to grow up to be a stoic, emotionally-guarded man present day. And on the other hand we have Yoon Cho-won, played by Ha Yoon-kyung (Extraordinary Attorney Woo), Joo-won’s little sister who has lived putting on a brave face despite still hurting from the death of her sister. When Seo-ha and Cho-won meet a grown up Ban Ji-eum, they’ll be intrigued by this friendly stranger and drawn in by her similarities to the girl they once loved.

Rounding out our main cast, we also have Ha Do-yoon, played by Ahn Dong-goo (Law Cafe), who is Seo-ha’s secretary and childhood friend.

Adapted by Choi Young-ran and directed by Lee Na-jung (Mine), See You in My 19th Life will air on tvN in the first half of 2023.

I started this webtoon months ago and it was interesting, though I eventually got swept up in other webtoons. Hope i can catch up before it starts airing!

OLGAMI!! It's been a masterpiece, though I'm not caught up yet. I sort of hope they don't adapt it for the kdrama medium.

I have like 3 dozen that I'm following, i.e. 4 Ways to Save Your Wife, Act Like You Love Me! , A Chance at Last, Regina Rena, Father I don't want this marriage, An Hour of Romance, Your Eternal Lies, Ashtarte, You're Perfect for Me

me too I think, if I can follow the past/present storylines. Depending on how they weave them together I could be happy or totally lost.

They have Shin Hye-sun, so I hope they get to successfully portray Ban Jieum's "I've-lived-for-centuries-so-nothing-fazes-me" personality, especially in her courtship of Seoha (Ahn Bohyun) *cue aghast Ahn Bohyun* 😆 Chowon was a ray of sunshine and a bundle of nerves in the webtoon, and Ha Yoonkyung is perfectly cast for the role. Yes, the lead female characters are awesome in this story, so praying that the writer delivers 🙏

after hearing the news first and being disappointed with the Seoha's casting I promised to not keep it to myself and not comment. But i was just minding my day and realized how great of a fit Bae Inhyuk would be for Seoha. I really like Ahn Bo Hyun but I can't get over how much the image I've drawn in my head for Seoha doesn't match him. Webtoon remakes are always hard for me to watch but I was happy when I heard the news of this one because the story was already made and I couldn't see it failing me plot-wise in any way. Shin Hye sun happens to also be one of my favorites of all time. I guess I will have to see more teasers and maybe give the first episode a shot before I judge. It's all wistful thinking now, so I hope the drama ends in success.
