See You in My 19th Life Episode 5 Recap

The episode picked up from where the last one ended. Seo-ha, in his drunken state, dreams of Ju-won and unconsciously calls for Ji-eum. For some unknown reason, he constantly sees Ju-won’s presence in Ji-eum, which confuses his thoughts. Later he confesses to Do-yoon that he has started developing feelings for Ji-eum.

While running for an errand, Cho-won comes across Do-yoon and they have a casual conversation. He invites her on a drive with Seo-ha since it is their day off, and she also ends up tagging along Ji-eum. The four of them were walking down a beach when she initiated a friendly talk with Seo-ha. However, the conversation escalated, and she confessed to him again and asked him to take his time while answering. Grabbing the chance, she took Seo-ha’s hand and started to dance to a romantic tune.

Suddenly, it started to pour heavily, and all of them decided to stay over at Cho-won’s vacation house. Ji-eum took the chance and started to look around the house. She searched for the doll she had hidden in her previous life while playing with Cho-won. But she did not realise that Cho-won was right outside the room and witnessed everything she did. Confused, Cho-won directly confronted Ji-eum, but she diverted the conversation with some silly reasons.

Meanwhile, a boy named Min-ji came to Ae-kyug’s restaurant in search of work. As they were discussing the terms, Ae-kyung fell on the ground unconscious and had to be hospitalised. The next day Ji-eum came to the restaurant and started to grow suspicious upon seeing the new employee. However, Ae-kyung assured her that he was trustworthy and ignored her concerns.

On the other hand, Seo-ha confronts his stepmother, who had been misplacing the hotel funds. Infuriated by his accusations, she raised her hand at him, but Ji-eum came in between and took the hit. A few loan sharks barged inside Ji-eum’s brother’s house demanding to return the money he borrowed. However, since he did not have a penny he directed them to kidnap Seo-ha so that Ji-eum pays them back. Seo-ha beat them up, and in the meantime, Ji-eum also appeared to offer her help.

When Ji-eum and Seo-ha were sharing a meal together, Cho-won called her, and she rushed to where she was. Cho-won was sitting alone at a bar and drinking alone. As soon as she saw Ji-eum she accused her of impersonating her sister and trying to pry into their lives. Watching Cho-won cry, Ji-eum couldn’t help herself and revealed that she is Jo-won and remembers everything about her past life. The episode ended on that note.
