Synopsis

Born Again tells the story of three reincarnated souls that have been intertwined together by fate.[5]

In the 1980s, Gong Ji-chul (Jang Ki-yong) was a lone wolf who defied his evil father. He is an elite medical student in the present.

In the 1980s, Jung Ha-eun (Jin Se-yeon) was the owner of a used bookstore called "Old Future". Unfortunately, she was suffering from congenital cardiomyopathy and could die at any moment. In the present, she is a forensic medical examiner working in the NFS, who uncovers the skeletal remains of the nameless, and restores their stories to them.

In the 1980s, Cha Hyung-bin (Lee Soo-hyuk) was a detective who loved only one person. In the present, he is a prosecutor who believes in a "criminal gene".

The three become involved in a passionate love triangle that endures beyond death and time.[6]
