See You In My 19th Life

Ongoing | Lee hye | 2020 released

I'm not usually a fan of the girl doing the chasing but the MC comebacks and one-liners are so iconic..coupled with her demeanor and personality is so fresh.. misunderstandings do occur but what I like about it is that it is solved rightaway..there are no loose ends. The deal with the 18 lives, like other webtoons I thought it would be clickbait but it is actually a core plot line in this webtoon. I love that for me. No main characters annoy me tho when Chowon was pursuing the secretary, I felt a bit irked cuz I'm from similar background as him so the fact that she thought that just because people like one another, they could date when she is in a more privileged position in society and haven't faced the same or similar hardships that he had and that they could work through it made me feel a bit bitter. That blondie or curly haired dude that is always by Chowon's side and is being a typical rich snob or chaebol in this case made me so mad. How he kept assuming things when people are poor and saying things like the mc is a golddigger and him casually saying that it looked like ml and secretary switched girlfriends, and..they left him alone. I want him to be beaten up, at first it looked like he also remembered past lives but was I mistaken? On that note, that blondie who also remembers his past life is so annoying, he doesn't respect MC's wishes and keeps on interfering going to meet with Seoha and telling him when he is already in a delicate position and starting to be happy, that made me a little mad. Him being nosy is a big downside for me. I liked his previous character in his past life when he was a she with that calm, mature and collected energy, her dynamic with MC who used to be more carefree was a bit of a joy to see.
