A 25-year-old carries the guilt of witnessing the murder of a kind young man who was trying to save him from a kidnapper. Shin Jae Woo (Moon Ji Yong) was only ten when the incident transpired, but he is unable to forget his childhood hero Kang Hi Joon (Lee Hyun Jun). In a strange turn of events, Shin Jae Woo finds his adult self back in time, just days before the terrible attack and he attempts to save Kang Hi Joon instead.
While the 2022 Korean series “Once Again” seemed interesting at first, Shin Jae Woo begins to get on your nerves on account of his behavior. For example, he keeps calling Kang Hi Joon ‘uncle’ like a dim-witted duck. Dude is on the heavier side of his twenties and doesn’t find it the least bit weird to call a guy his age an uncle; and this is just one of the many childish/idiotic things he does through the show. Sure, the ‘uncle’ thing was funny the first time, but gets annoying when constantly repeated.
Lazy writing makes ‘Once Again’ a pretty forgettable, mediocre mini-series, where things move too fast and end in an unnecessarily tragic note. It’s like the makers couldn’t decide if they wanted this to be a breezy sweet romantic series or a serious time-travel drama, so it ends up being a weird mix of the two. Definitely not something you can watch again.
It’s a 4/10 from me.
