SBS Fri-Sat Drama Again My Life with Lee Jun Ki Hits 11% Ratings in Episode 13 and is a Satisfying Good Guy One Step Ahead Methodical Thriller

I’ve finally caught up to Again My Life! Yay for quarantine drama goals heh. I hate to leave my Lee Jun Ki hanging and having the time to marathon this drama was totally worth the wait. This Friday’s episode 13 broke 11% ratings which is a new high for the drama and a definitely win for SBS. The drama is basically a wrong hero’s wet dream, a what-if that every viewer who has watched a drama where the lead character is always one step behind and getting screwed over wishes could happen, that the lead character is instead one step ahead. I can’t describe how satisfying it is watching Lee Jun Ki’s Kim Hee Woo use his lived before life and the knowledge to slowly and patiently plot and execute his take down of the Big Bad Congressman who seems to wield way more power than any politician in I’ve ever seen in a K-drama. The supporting characters fall into two caps – the corrupt, greedy ones who we watch Hee Woo dole out his comeuppance to each and the decent, upright ones who we see align with Hee Woo one by one and hope no one turns out to be a secret baddie in disguise. This drama has no romance (so far) and strangely the female lead in the poster Kim Ji Eun has very little screen time through episode 9 before slowly increasing more. I don’t mind though it’s first and foremost watching Hee Woo out maneuver and set up the bad guys that’s the fun parts. So if you’re looking for a brisk well executed drama check this one out, it’s really good!

  • So much in agreement. This drama is a breeze to watch and frankly i don't miss the romance at all in this. It is a Lee Jun Ki show throughout and I am so glad for it.

  • Leejongi despite no romance just total friendship.. But the story is satisfied for the people.. And rating every epi goes up.. Looking forward for the coming epi the rating will goes up more.. 😘

  • Altough I really love Lee Jun Ki, but this drama is a so so. I'm on ep 11 and don't have the motivation (yet) to keep watching. Flower of Evil was much better.

  • it's funny to see many people not only here but everywhere being so critical, disappoint with his choice of drama this time and comparing this with flower of evil
    everyone know FOE is a masterpiece. cannot be compared with this one.

  • It's really sad that many people are disappointed with this drama but in my opinion this is not a bad drama but a serious onen Lee junki always choose a drama with solid script and this drama is the proof that a serious plot drama could be more interesting than a romantic one... Story is connected overall.. Lee junki is a a versatile actor who can pull every character even he chooses serious roles... This drama has high rating from first episode...it means that true drama lovers are still there

    • Lee junki is the most satisfying and versatile actor in kdrama industry since the day I watched Moon Lovers my Favorite is Lee junki till this day I never miss his dramas... love his action sunts and specially the way he changes his facial expressions in a second,no one can do this easily

  • Not the best drama of LJK but it's always enjoyable to see "the bad guys" to taste some of their own medecine . And Lee Jun Ki is a drama's companion as Ji Sung since 2 decades now .

  • Wowwww this movie is a banger, if Lee Jung ki, does not get any award this year it's a cheat on him,he is so good. I love him more when he did lawless lawyer, and this again my life. He is just to good

  • It's satisfying to watch Lee Joon Gi's superb acting skills again in this drama. Storyline is good too.
