The DramaNext guide
What My New Life by the Sea is about
Given a second chance at life, Lin Feng wakes up in 1983 with his family still alive. Haunted by past regrets, he vows to change their fate. Using his unparalleled knowledge of the sea, he hunts rare catches to clear crushing debts and shield his wife and kin from relentless rivals. But as his seafood venture grows, jealous enemies plot to tear it all down.
iDrama released it as 38 bite-size episodes mixing marriage drama, second chance and romance, made to watch on a phone in one sitting or a few.
Is it worth watching?
The draw here is a marriage that starts on the wrong foot and has to be earned. On top of that: a lead who knows how it went wrong last time and plays it differently.
The whole series takes about 46–84 minutes, so it's an easy binge.
