Watched it because I love Jang Ki-yong. No regrets.

I'll admit, I started watching this drama because both the male leads are favorites of mine, and honestly their attractiveness may have inflated my rating a little... also I think the recent reincarnation love triangle plot was fairly unique. Jang Ki-yong's character Kong Ji-cheol was abused in his past life but a good and protective soul, and the FL's kindness lured him to join a book club reading Wuthering Heights at her church where he fell in love with her. I really rooted for this odd couple and found Jang Ki-yong's performance very compelling. When he was reincarnated as a wealthy but also unloved man, it was interesting to see what choices his character could make with more power and influence. I also enjoyed Lee Soo-hyuk who played a detective uncovering the mysterious deaths from the past. The present-time role of Jin Se-yun as a forensic pathologist was also interesting for a FL. Unfortunately the romance just felt all over the place so it couldn't really build to a powerful emotional conclusion.
