"I'll Do Better Next Life" was released to modest attention, receiving mixed reviews from critics who were divided over its frank portrayal of adult relationships and sexuality. Initially, some found the show provocative and refreshing, while others viewed it as controversial or overly candid for mainstream audiences. Over time, however, the series has been reassessed by viewers and critics alike. Its nuanced exploration of personal freedom and complex interpersonal dynamics has earned it recognition as an underrated gem rather than a dated relic. Today, it is appreciated for its ahead-of-its-time approach and has developed a dedicated following, especially among audiences interested in more mature and candid storytelling. The performances by Rio Uchida as Momoe Omori and Yuta Koseki as Ken Matsuda are often highlighted as central to the show's enduring appeal.
Ran for 4 seasons.
