365 – Repeat the Year ~ – A 2020 Korean Sci-Fi Series

“365: Repeat the Year”, released in 2020, has 24 episodes, is categorized as Sci-Fi (Science Fiction), Fantasy, Time Travel, Thriller, and Suspense, and is streaming on Viki. It is based on the Japanese novel “Repeat”.

SUMMARY: Ten (10) people are given a chance to go back one year and live it over again. They embrace this chance because they think it will simply erase their trauma or tragedy. But if those events in their life get erased, what will replace it?

Since I Have the Chance to Repeat the Year – Why Not?

In “365: Repeat the Year”, ten (10) people are given the chance to travel back in time by one year and reset their lives. But don’t we all know that if something sounds too good to be true, then  ____________. Who knows what will go in the blank? There are probably many unforeseen things that could, might, or will happen. Even so, it’s hard to resist the offer.

The 3 main characters are:

  • Ji Hyung-joo, a veteran detective who wants to prevent his partner’s death.

  • Shin Ga-hyun, a webtoon artist who aims to undo an accident that left her in a wheelchair.

  • Lee Shin, a psychiatrist who has reset her life multiple times to save her daughter.

They are going to try to change their fates. It’s obvious they just want to erase “the bad” parts of their past. But suppose that change results in something “worse”? Suppose as they travel along their NEW life timelines, ______________. There is no way they could have predicted what would go in the blank. In the new timeline, there are a series of interconnected mysteries and unexpected challenges and … ??? Ten people were given the chance. What about the other seven (7)?

Where to Watch

Viewership and Rating:

My personal rating is the same as the Viki viewing audience.

365: Repeat the Year” is interesting.  Life is never simple.  It would be so awesome if you could reset and correct mistakes, erase tragedies, etc.  But there is always that “unknown” element.  If I “fix” the past, will it make the future better?  Uuggg … I don’t know!  It’s like the genie granting you three (3) wishes but not telling you that when you get what you wished for, you’ll wish that you didn’t wish for it!

So, "365: Repeat the Year" is about a group of people getting a second chance, huh? Interesting concept. I'm not sure how I feel about the whole time-travel thing, but I'm curious to see how it plays out. The idea of fixing mistakes is appealing, but like they say, be careful what you wish for. Ji Hyung-joo trying to save his partner is intense, and Shin Ga-hyun's story is heartbreaking. I wonder if Lee Shin's multiple resets have any long-term consequences. It's always fascinating to see how characters deal with the weight of their choices.

The premise is intriguing – a second chance to relive a year, but with the potential for unintended consequences. It's a classic sci-fi trope, but it's always fun to see how different writers explore it. I'm curious about the characters' motivations. Ji Hyung-joo's desire to save his partner is understandable, but will it come at a cost? Shin Ga-hyun's situation is tragic, and I hope she finds a way to overcome her challenges. Lee Shin's multiple resets add an interesting layer to the story. Is she a time-travel expert, or is she just caught in a loop? I'm excited to see how the story unfolds and what kind of twists and turns we'll encounter. The high ratings are a good sign, so I'll definitely add this to my watchlist.

The idea of going back and trying to change the past is both hopeful and terrifying. I can't imagine the emotional toll on these characters. Ji Hyung-joo's pain is palpable, and I'm rooting for him to find some peace. Shin Ga-hyun's story is equally tragic, and I hope she finds a way to reclaim her life. Lee Shin's multiple resets are intriguing, but they also raise questions about the nature of identity and free will. I'm curious to see how these characters will navigate the complexities of time travel and personal tragedy. I'll definitely check it out, especially with those high ratings. I'm ready to cry and feel all the feels.

What struck me was that it was only one year. Most people want to go back and fix several years. But even with just one year, a change could not only reset their life, but reset a whole bunch in other people's lives too! After all, we don't live in a vacuum. I mean it's like a domino effect that never ends, This one resets “this”, but it affects the other one who reset “that” and on and on.

I think almost everybody would love a chance to go back over their past and “smooth things out”. But only because we have the knowledge of the future. If we didn't know the final outcome, and someone made us the offer … would we really want to go back OR just accept our life the way it was? Some of us might refuse because we think it won't get any better anyway. LOL.
