See You in My 19th Life

Ban Ji-eum remembers every one of her past lives, but when her eighteenth life ends unexpectedly she chooses to spend the nineteenth tracking down a thread she couldn't finish before, a childhood friend who has grown into a man she barely recognizes. The show follows Ji-eum as she pieces together fragments of memory and everyday moments to reconnect with that lost bond, while personal history, awkward reunions, and new relationships complicate a mission that feels part detective work, part personal reckoning. Tone shifts between quiet emotional scenes and lighter, humorous moments, keeping the focus on character choices rather than mystery twists.

Released in 2023, the series was created by Lee Na-jeong, Choi Young-lim, and Lee Hye, and stars Shin Hye-sun as Ban Ji-eum with Ahn Bo-hyun as Mun Seo-ha, supported by Ha Yoon-kyung, Ahn Dong-gu, and Ryu Hae-jun.

There aren't widely reported major international awards tied to the show in available sources; it did attract attention for its performances and writing, and any local nominations are not listed here.

The series developed a devoted online fanbase, with viewers praising its romantic moments and scenes that highlight ordinary domestic life. Conversations on social media often centered on the ethical questions around memory, consent, and old promises, and the leads' chemistry kept clips and stills circulating among international K-drama fans.

Critics and audiences have given generally positive marks, reflected in an average user rating of about 8.18 out of 10 from online voters. Reviewers tended to highlight the show's balance of humor and drama, its focus on memory and identity, and the lead performance by Shin Hye-sun, noting that the series foregrounds emotional resolution and the practical consequences of repeated lives rather than high-concept spectacle.
