Spell his name as Kim Hee Woo,
not Kim Hee Wu. Well, everyone is already in love with the
prosecutor’s name. KIM – HE WOOS. True. It is beyond a shadow of a doubt that
Kim Hee Woo, portrayed by Lee Joon Gi, would woo everyone with his
beguiling looks, disarming smiles, natural charisma, dazzling witticisms,
wicked sense of humour, innate intelligence, marvellous athleticism and
fighting skills. The sterling actor, together with the Dream cast and director,
Han Chul Soo, is expected to work his usual magic in the 16-episode SBS
television series. The series, which is scripted by two writers, J (제이) and Kim Yool-II (김율), is slated to air in
April 2022. Again My Life, originally a novel by Lee Hae Nal, has also
been released as a webtoon. Lee Joon Gi, an all-rounder in the Asian showbusiness industry, has won many acting awards and other awards including international awards from China, the US, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore. The achievements of the gorgeous 40-year-old multihyphenate are dizzying; he has fingers in almost everything; he’s an actor & martial artist (film & television), popstar (singing & dancing), model (catwalk & print), reality shows, reality drama, publications, music albums, theatre, radio, web series and brand ambassadorships. He has even directed his own series and won the Grand Prize for Lee Joon Gi’s JG Style at the 5th Japan Skapa Awards in 2009. Recently, it was reported that there will be a remake of his 2020 television series, Flower of Evil, by the Philippines, a great affirmation of the sterling performance of the cast, particularly his and Moon Chae Won's performance, the excellent quality of the television series, the genius direction and the unique script.
 Han Chul Soo The 60-year-old Han Chul Soo had
previously directed the critically acclaimed 2019 drama, Graceful
Family, ‘the highest rated drama in the MBN network history at the
time of its run. According to Wikipedia, 'It is currently ranked as the second-highest rated drama of the network.’
If the innovative director has his way, the
viewers would probably not recognize the new television series when they compare it
with the original work come April 2022. He and his Dream Team will
sprinkle lots of fairy dust on the Action-Thriller-Legal-Supernatural television
series with Time Travel elements. The excited fans are confident that Again
My Life will be a ground-breaking masterpiece. The production team says, ‘The
drama was planned to give satisfaction and fun.’ That means the viewers
have been promised that they would be greatly humoured during their
entertaining ride. It is time to make your requests known to the director.

Living in THE PRESENT, Kim
Hee Woo, an impetuous Public Prosecutor, is hell-bent on trapping Cho
Tae Seop, the evil politician, a ‘devil in disguise’. Cho is
played by Lee Kyung Young. Oblivious that evil is hot on his heels, he succumbed to a
brutal murder. DEATH BY WATER. Was he injected with poison or killed with a
drug overdose? Was he sealed in an oil drum and thrown into the sea? It is
unsurprising that the foolhardy Kim Hee Woo is so easily overpowered. It
is impossible to fight great evil without thorough preparation and a comprehensive
strategy which is DESIGNED TO WIN.
One can imagine the swirling
black clouds, the streaks of lightning, the crash and rumble of thunder, and
the freak thunderstorm when the violent, untimely death occurs. A bleak and unearthly night
indeed.
Will Kim Hee Woo, who is destined to be resurrected, rise
into the air? The lucky man is given the opportunity to reboot his life and
change the world by Lady Death or The Lady Reaper, played by the
lovely Cha Joo Young. Cha plays dual roles – Han Ji Hyun, Cho Tae Seop’s
secretary as well as Lady Death. Kim Hee Woo returns to The Past where his life is reset for the Future.
He returns to teenagehood to hone his skills and deepen his knowledge. He
meets the vivacious and talented Kim Hee Ah, played by the beautiful
Kim Ji Eun.
Gathering a force of faithful, trusty
and well-beloved friends, he becomes a force of nature - unstoppable and
unchallengeable, to defeat and punish the great evil in The Future.
The story of Kim Hee Woo is a spiritual and emotional journey of a
student-cum-adult from THE PRESENT to THE PAST and then, to THE FUTURE: PrePaFu.
There is a saying in the manga,
‘To catch the devil, you have to be one’. Shudder. Shudder. Shudder.
Some would say, ‘To catch the devil, you have to
go to hell.’ That’s even worse. Horrors.
Or, ‘To catch the devil, you have to
think like one.’ Get into the mind of the devil.
Or, ‘Set a devil to catch a devil.’ (Set a thief to catch a thief)
Or, ‘To catch a devil, you must
recruit his disciples’.
