Hop aboard the couch for another emotional K-drama ride with the family over magical, mystery-filled Viu Originals. These K-Dramas will surely make you believe in second chances. Catch these new, exciting ‘second chance’ Viu originals through your PLDT Home Fiber.
Second Chances
Humanity has always had a fascination with the afterlife. It is an unsolved riddle embedded in some religions and cultures since time immemorial. Buddhists and Hindus believe in reincarnation while Christians believe in eternal life.
The afterlife concept is also very popular in Korean culture. The K-drama industry, in particular, isn’t shy when it comes to exploring death and rebirth so much so it has spawned a new genre — Second Chances.
You can watch this concept interpreted on some Viu originals through your PLDT Home Fiber connection.
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo
In the time-travel historical drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016), the epilogue hints at the star-crossed lovers meeting each other again in the present time after a tragic ending to their previous romance.
My Love From the Star
The fantasy-thriller romcom My Love From the Star (2013) is about an immortal alien lead who finds the reincarnated version of his true love who died several hundred years ago. These two shows are some of the über-popular dramas touching on the concept of “second chances” — made available on top K-content streaming service Viu.

Again My Life
Based on Kim Hae-nal’s popular webtoon, Again My Life follows the story of Kim Hee-woo (Lee Joon-gi) — a man who rises from the bottom of his high school class to become one of his city’s hotshot prosecutors. Unfortunately, Kim Hee-woo meets his untimely death at the hands of unidentified men, found to be connected to a corruption investigation on a politician he is handling.
But this story isn’t over just yet as a run-in with a sympathetic Grim Reaper gives him a second chance at life. Brought back to his time as a high school student, Kim Hee-woo now sets out on a retributive mission to solve the mystery that ended his past life.

From Now On, Showtime
Not everyone gets to be reborn, though. Redemption and second chances can also come through ghostly assistance. In the mystery rom-com series From Now On, Showtime, a third-eye-possessing magician Cha Cha-woong (Park Hae-jin) reluctantly pairs up with police officer Go Seul-hae (Jin Ki-joo).
As Cha Cha-woong’s special talent gets discovered, he is roped into Go Seul-hae’s mission to solve crimes in their city. To get to the bottom of these cases, the duo commissions the help of, yes, ghost witnesses and the victims themselves.
Similar tropes have been explored in K-dramas but with a magician as the main character, Cha Cha-woong makes crime-solving a little more fun with his tricks and disguises.

Why Her
Of all these stories, one might say the best kind of ‘second chance’ is when the character doesn’t have to die — just like in Why Her. This new Viu Original makes a perfect case for a second chance series rooted in everyday life.
Why Her follows the story of Oh Soo-jae (Seo Hyun-jin), the youngest partner of a top law firm known for her drive, desire to win, and take-no-prisoners approach to her cases. Her flourishing career comes crashing down when office politics and a corrupt law firm chairman demote her for sticking her nose in a case involving the very firm she works for. Oh Soo-jae is then forced out of her company, taking a position as a professor in a local law school.

Unwilling to endure injustice and see the end of all she’s worked for, Oh Soo-jae stages a comeback by working on the case that has ruined her career. In the process, she meets law student Gong Chan (Hwang In-yeop) who may just be the key to breaking the case wide open and helping Soo-jae get her second chance at the top.
Again My Life; From Now On, Showtime; and Why Her — three different shows with distinct stories and character motivations, but carrying one message: that people can always right their wrongs and strive to be better.
