See You in My 19th Life Episode 12 Recap
The episode starts with Ji-eum realising that it was Min-gi is the one who killed his sister. Devasted after knowing the truth, she apologises to Seo-ha for putting the blame on him. She also realises that it was her past self who put the curse on herself for remembering her every life so that she can take revenge on Min-gi for what he has done. Later, both Ji-eum and Seo-ha reconcile.
Ji-eum goes to meet Min-gi the next day and confronts him about what he had committed in his first life. He apologises to her and asks for her forgiveness as he committed a grave mistake which led to the death of multiple people. She then tells him that she will not forgive him, but she is not Su anymore and is Ji-eum instead, so she keeps no ill feelings for him anymore.
Then Ji-eum asks Min-gi for the solution to break the curse and save Ae-gyeong. Min-gi reveals that with a free heart, she has to repeat four words, and she can lead a normal life again. However, it comes with a condition that she will forget every memory associated with the ones in her past lives. This means that she will forget everything about Ae-gyeong, Seo-ha and Cho-won.
On the other hand, Jo-yun meets with Cho-won after work. She had intended to tell him that she is ready to move on and will not try to persuade him to be in a relationship again. But Ju-yun stops her and confesses his feelings for her and asks if it is alright with her if the society questions their relationship. She says that she does not care about anything else except for him, and they finally accept each other.
Seo-ha meets with his uncle the next day in the prison. His uncle is surprised to see him come to meet him, and he asks for forgiveness from Seo-ha again. Seo-ha expresses his thoughts to his uncle elaborately and decides to forgive him for his actions since he confessed to his crimes. They both reconcile in the end.
Ji-eum meets with Ae-gyeong for the last time and moves her to a better hospital bed. She intends to break the curse without letting anyone know about it. However, Seo-ha finds out about the truth and consoles her. He says that even though she forgets him, he will make sure to be a part of her life still again.
Cho-won and Ji-eum also meet up for the last time. They share a meal together along with their mother, but she is not aware of Ji-eum’s real identity. The three of them share a meal together. As Ji-eum was looking at the photos of her past self, her mother comes into the room. Her mother starts to talk about Ju-won and Ji-eum consoles and gives reassurance.
Later Ji-eum goes to the same bridge, and with a free heart, she accepts her fate. In her vision, she sees her past self, who also lets go of her grudge and frees Ji-eum of the curse. The next day, Ji-eum starts working at the same company she started with and leads a normal life. Through calculative instances, Cho-won and Ae-gyeong still manage to meet her again. Seo-ha also appears and asks her to work for his hotel. She says that she is unsure, and he tells her to date him instead.

See You in My 19th Life Episode 12 Review
The finale episode of the series is exactly how one would expect it to be. The story does not leave out any questions and provides a conclusion to each and every character. However, the relationship between Do-yun and Cho-won does feel rushed and forced at the same time. They lacked chemistry since they had minimal interactions throughout the series. On the other hand, Ji-eum and Seo-ha’s relationship blossomed naturally, and both received a fitting ending.
Another aspect of the series is its commendable cinematography which enhances the storytelling process. Each and every scene is captured beautifully to provide an immersive experience to the audience. In addition with, the soulful music and songs playing in the background further helps the viewers connect with each character’s story.

Thank you for all your recaps! You’ve been the fastest recapper of this series’ episodes on the whole Internet!
Hi, thankyou for the comment and support, it is much appreciated.
Do you know why they all remember her?
Hello, yes it is because they did not lose any memory of Ji-eum. Do read the Ending Explained on the website for a detailed analysis of the plot. Thank you.
It has been a wonderful series, although the WEBTOON was more satisfying in the whole story. Until ep 11 it was almost one-on-one the WEBTOON.
Lust for the eye and I appreciated the good cast… this one had probably done better with 16 episodes.
