While I can't say that I love everything nigh Again My Life, I'll admit that information technology successfully surprised me a few times. Not only were there a couple of plot twists, but even when I knew the drama was lying to me, information technology had a way of cartoon out certain scenes but long enough that I began to 2d approximate myself.
For case, I was pretty confident that Hee-woo's parents would live through the accident (why cast veterans like Kim Hee-jung and Park Chul-min if you're just going to impale them off in the 2nd episode?), simply when Hee-woo cried for Mom and Dad for an inordinately long time and we saw no sign of them, I started to worry.
Thankfully, they lived, only the drunk driver — Tae-sub's son — was non as fortunate this time around. Hee-woo finally finds the answers to the questions that had been plaguing him all these years, and he realizes the sloppy investigation into their accident was all a comprehend-upwardly to hide Tae-sub's son'southward drunken vehicular homicide. Hee-woo suspects this modify in the timeline will crusade Tae-sub to become more ruthless, but I take to say, Tae-sub seems remarkably unaffected by his son's expiry.
The rest of Episode 2 is pretty much a systematic introduction to a big cast of characters — namely Hee-woo's harem — I mean, his beau Hanguk University students and future allies in the fight against Tae-sub.
First upwards is KIM GYU-RI (Hong Bi-ra), a top student who got a perfect score on her CSAT, simply despite all her academic success, Hee-woo tin't recollect ever seeing her in his past life later on she collapsed from overexertion. He afterward discovers that her family unit fell on hard times, which prevented her from attending college.
KIM HAN-MI (Kim Jae-kyung) is another i of Hee-woo'southward academy classmates. She hangs out with a group of thugs who dress like a wannabe idol group and shell up on Hee-woo (in his past life, before he learned MMA). Only after Hee-woo rescues Han-mi from an attempted sexual assult, she decides to focus on her studies and receives tutoring from Hee-woo. Oh, and she's too Seok-hoon's illegitimate daughter.
Hee-woo is accepted into Hanguk University, where he meets LEE MIN-SOO (Jung Sang-hoon). Min-soo is something of a professional student, given that he's bounced around a few majors and is currently starting over again as a police force pupil. On the surface, he seems like an abrasive slacker, but backside his affable personality is a keen intelligence and ability to read people.
And finally, Hee-woo meets KIM HEE-AH (Kim Ji-eun), a computer science practice-gooder who delivers meals to the elderly and works part-time at a restaurant. She's also secretly the girl of a chaebol family unit, and the suspicious guy who's been following her around is her bodyguard.
And speaking of creepy stalkers, Hee-woo has an unexpected encounter with Tae-sub'due south hitman… who seems to know who Hee-woo is! And once again, I doubted what I thought I already knew about the rules of Hee-woo's fourth dimension traveling shenanigans. Did the hitman somehow follow Hee-woo to the by? It didn't make sense to me, but the encounter led to an epic fight scene was abnormally long for to be just a dream… or so I idea.
After the hitman pushes Hee-woo off a bridge, Hee-woo wakes up from a nightmare that spurs him into reconnecting with his MMA teacher from his previous life. While he's no longer starting every bit a novice, Hee-woo needs to kick his training into overdrive if he wants to 1 24-hour interval defeat Tae-sub's hitman.
While Episode 2 introduced us to Hee-woo'southward personal Avengers squad, Episode 3 was all about setting the groundwork for Hee-woo's future financial success — because he will too need a lot of money in add-on to his butt-kicking skills.
He decides that the best mode for him to make some cash is to invest in existent manor. He begins attending court property auctions, just he'southward not savvy enough to understand which properties to buy. So Hee-woo latches onto WOO YONG-SOO (Lee Before long-jae), who is a pro at buying up real estate at auction in order to resell them when the expanse undergoes redevelopment and their value skyrockets.
Yong-soo warns Hee-woo that real estate turns people greedy and causes them to do immoral things, like evicting tenants from his newly acquired properties. Hee-woo remembers that the Woman in Red warned that the path to defeat Tae-sub might mean becoming a bit of a monster himself, then Hee-woo readily agrees to be Yong-soo's disciple, seemingly prepared to develop amoral attributes in order to enact his revenge.
Information technology speedily becomes apparent, though, that this is more of a "know thy enemy" blazon of state of affairs. He intends to acquire all the Bad Guy tricks of the trade, but he will enact them justly and maintain his white knight virtue. Hee-woo even takes the skills he learned from Yong-soo to purchase Gyu-ri'due south family dwelling, which allows her to attend her classes again.
Hee-woo'southward professional person noesis from his previous life makes him the star student at Hanguk Academy, and he'south invited to join a height surreptitious gild comprised of the supposed best-of-the-best among the police force school'southward students and alumni. Among the members are Hee-woo's sunbae CHOI KANG-JIN (Kim Jin-woo), who was a prosecutor and piece of trash assemblyman in Hee-woo's past life, and JANG IL-HYUN (Kim Hyung-mook), a successful alum of Hanguk University who'southward currently even so trying to make a name for himself in the prosecutor's part.
It is through this society that Hee-woo finds out that Tae-sub is scheming to steal Yong-soo'due south properties past forcing him to default on a depository financial institution loan, which would broke Yong-soo. Hee-woo warns Yong-soo, and he's able to sell all of his properties before Tae-sub can swoop in and ruin him. To repay Hee-woo's kindness, Yong-soo gives Hee-woo his bankbook and asks him to manage and invest the money he earned selling his properties. (Well, that's an awfully user-friendly way to set Hee-woo up for future financial stability and riches.)
And a potential offset investment practically falls in Hee-woo'southward lap when Min-soo introduces Hee-woo to his friend MOON SUNG-HWAN (Kim Exercise-kyung), who developed a program called Haha Talk. In Hee-woo's past life, Sung-hwan lost his intellectual belongings case against the visitor that stole his program.
Turns out, he submitted his project to a contest existence run past Chunha Group, the visitor owned past Hee-ah's begetter Chairman KIM GEONG-Young (Jeon Gook-hwan). Chunha'south CEO, who Geong-immature hired at Tae-sub's recommendation, saw the potential in the programme, and with Tae-sub'southward backing, plotted to defect to some other company and steal Sung-hwan's code. Information technology was as well this series of events that led to the downfall of Chunha group and Geong-young's subsequent decease in Hee-woo's previous life.
Luckily, in this timeline, Sung-hwan met Hee-woo, who immediately concocts a program to protect Sung-hwan'southward intellectual property. Sung-hwan trusts Hee-woo and follows his advice to record his meeting with Chunha'southward CEO, both because Hee-woo seemed like a fortune teller — and one must listen to fortune tellers — and because Min-soo vouched for him.
Simply there was besides a tertiary reason. The day he was set to meet the CEO he received a similar warning via an bearding text. The text was traced back to a convenience store employee who loaned his telephone out to a customer.
Hee-woo and crew take a peek at the convenience store'due south security cameras, and information technology turns out their anonymous sender is the Woman in Red… who also happens to be Tae-sub's right-hand adult female HAN JI-HYUN (Cha Joo-immature) in this timeline. And if she's still live, that must hateful she died and became a reaper before Hee-woo fell to his ain death. Dun dun dun!
Not going to lie, that twist got me, but it certainly makes information technology more than understandable that a reaper would be invested in Tae-sub's downfall. Although, now that the secret is out, I think it's safe to presume she died because Tae-sub found out she was working against him.
In addition to some nice surprises and gratuitous fight scenes, I found that the pacing was better this week as the episodes became a fleck more episodic and each covered a dissimilar mini case that was loosely connected to Tae-sub. Is it clumsily convenient for the plot that Hee-woo just so happens to know the fate of all these people cheers to random news reports in his past life? Yep… merely I'm just going to go with it. When we've got grim reapers and timey-wimey stuff happening, who am I to quibble over Hee-woo's photographic retentiveness?
