Reincarnation-themed dramas?

How about Legend of the Deep Blue Sea, Tale of the Nine Tailed, My Love from a Star (they sort of leaned towards her being reincarnated), Eternal Love 2

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Original request for reincarnation themed dramas was back on April 2016 pretty soon 5 years ago.
BUT if anyone is interested in a 100% all cast reincarnated this will be the drama for you with a great gracious actress

Thank you so much!! I have been trying to find this drama but couldn’t remember the title.

A more recent recommendation :sparkles::wink::+1:t5: a C-drama:


This is a sequel to the former named :cherry_blossom: “Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms” :cherry_blossom: now called Eternal Love. Their’s is a side story getting center stage in the sequel :sparkles::wink::+1:t5: The reincarnation story is prominent, but it is not the entire focus.

I want to add Hotel Del Luna to the list, it’s a really well-known drama, but maybe someone haven’t seen it, who knows :smiley:

Hi, I have a drama I would recommend, but I actually cant remember the title of it. I actually was reading this, hoping someone else may have mentioned it. Its about three people who get reincarnated from the Joseon period into modern day. It’s a romance, and the female lead only has certain dreams about her past life in bits and pieces. I don’t want to spoil any of it, so as vaguely as possible I’ll describe this one not super important scene. The female lead, I think she’s a graphic artist or something, enters an art contest with her niece or nephew, and she does a picture of a man with a lantern from the Joseon period, which comes into play later. If someone knows the name of this, I would really appreciate if they could post it.

@faithspam1999_268 I think the drama you are looking for is Snow Lotus/Lucid Dream (2015) starring Lee Ji Ah and Ji Jin Hee.
I really enjoyed that drama too.

For me, it’s Goblin all the way, and to some extent, it’s Tale of the Nine Tailed most of the way.

Reincarnation is not a feature of my belief system (though a Welsh writer, Charles Williams wrote a novel making animal reincarnation a plausible possibility).

I love reincarnation as a theme in Asian dramas because it underscores what is for me a foundational reality. Love worth the name lasts, transcends, and renews. That’s never a bad message to embed in a drama.

Plus it gives the creators of whatever dramas an opportunity to explore the evolution of human history and culture. And Asian dramas are always super educational about music of different eras, food, clothing, lives of the well-off versus lives of the poor, politics, medicine, whatever.

One thing I have never seen in an Asian drama, however, is something that I think must have existed in some form.

A couple of weeks ago, I went shopping at my local Price-Rite, part of a grocery store chain headquartered in New Jersey. I was looking for cat food and passed by a display of cinnamon brooms. Brooms made from bundles of branches of . . . whatever bush or tree cinnamon bark comes from. They smelled wonderful!

They were not labeled as being decorations. They were brooms for sweeping, made in the USA, possibly by Amish folks.

My particular neighborhood is so very “Asianese” that, in the past ten years, “my” Price-Rite has become very focused on food and household items for that population.

A lot of those items are also very natural and organic. My assumption is that Price-Rite is currently in some kind of battle for “Asianese” customers with other grocery store chains such as Wegmans, Aldi, and Tops.

Reincarnation-themed dramas give both creators and audience members wonderful opportunities to explore, learn, cry buckets, and of course do . . .


UMBRELLA SPOTTING!!!

If any Asian culture had cinnamon brooms, obviously those would have been reserved for really wealthy people. It would be fun to find out, via a reincarnation-themed drama, if that kind of tchotchke existed.

I watched Queen Inhyun’s Man. As a matter of fact, the cover photo, did not tell me much, so I thought it was not a great watch. That was a while back, and then one day I read the synopsis, took the plunge, and regretted not watching sooner. :blush: :slightly_smiling_face:

Rooftop Prince is a great one! It was the second K-drama I ever saw. (My first was Shining Inheritance.)

It checked all the big K-drama boxes for me. It was weird and wiggy and tear-stained and funny and just wonderful.

Wow, if the cast of that show could get together NOW for ANY kind of K-drama series, that would be amazing!

Given the punitive nature of so many manager/entertainer relationships in Korean culture, and given the persistently rigid Confucian-influenced attitudes toward roles of men and women . . .

On the one hand I want to KC slap everyone involved. On the other hand, I hope the former Micky Yoochun gets everything he is asking for.

But there’s no reincarnation in Queen Inhyun’s man, only time travel.
And yes, it’s high on my list of favourite dramas. The chemistry between the leads is off the charts, and it also ends well!

It is a

drama, but isn’t the

The modern person?
The closest I could find on a quick search, attesting to this is here (*❛‿❛)→ :point_down:t5:

"But despite her mind not remembering Boong Do, Hee Jin’s heart does. And that eventually allows her to recover her memories and reach out to Boong Do. Fate also intervenes allowing her phone call to him to cross time and reach him in the past."

I love this one, it’s a bit of an emotional rollercoaster and violent at points, but a good drama.
