Overview
Kim Hee Woo came from an inauspicious start as a low-grade high schooler to work his way up through university and finally pass the bar examination. His relentless hard work has finally paid dividends, and he has become a public prosecutor. During the course of his investigations, he must conduct a probe into a politician suspected of corruption. But his investigation is abruptly ended when a mysterious man kills him. However, he later comes to, finding that he is actually alive. Restored to the mortal realm, he finds that he must return to university and complete his academic journey again – while he tries to discover the truth about what happened to him.
This 2022 drama leans into the familiar appeal of a second chance, though one earned through a violent end rather than a stroke of luck. Following a prosecutor who is murdered while investigating a corruption case, the narrative shifts from standard legal mystery into a structural challenge. The protagonist finds himself back in university, forced to navigate the same academic path while processing the knowledge of his own death.
Lee Joon-gi drives the rhythm of this cycle, balancing the exhaustion of a seasoned professional with the constraints of his younger self. Based on a novel, the series frames the character’s pursuit of justice as a race against time and his own history. It plays with the tension of hindsight, as the protagonist must rebuild his life while hunting for the person who cut it short the first time.
