Reincarnation is a religious belief that after the natural death of a person, their soul is born into a new being. It is a belief that a soul goes in a circle, from existing in a person to eventual death to rebirth in a new person. It believes a soul can live multiple lives without being aware of its previous lives as a completely new person. It is a fascinating concept, and dramas use this tactic to the fullest by bringing back characters that have already died to evoke tension and fulfill their past grievances or alter something in the present that they could not in the past.
