I think so too, because the reveal came to early. I think they lead us into the wrong direction on purpose. In the beginning they made it look like the teacher could be Gaetal. Later on when we learned the teacher is a psycho I thought, ok he can't be Gaetal then. Now they come up with strange explanations why he could still be Gaetal. But the timing is wrong. That's why the teacher must be a red herring here. Maybe he tries to play games with Gaetal, since both of them are hackers or he only thinks it's fun to copy Gaetal. However he started with his games in the early episodes already. He was up to something already during the second killing vote. And I guess he has his own agenda to copy Gaetal. Maybe he even wants to find true Gaetal himself to destroy him.

I really wish I could like the FL and her sister, but unfortunately I have to agree with the majority here, that these characters were written quite poorly. I can tolerate them, but it is a shame that they were written this way, since a FL computer expert would have been quite interesting, if only the writer would made her a true expert and genious. *sighs deeply* We need more genious women in dramas and genious women can be cute as well though. As for the who Gaetal is. If I compare the drama with other crime dramas and consider that we have 12 episodes, it is too early to reveal the true culprit. It would be very unlikely for a korean crime drama to reveal the main culprit like that in the middle of the drama. We have still 6 episodes to go. Even though I suspected the teacher from the beginning on (there were hints already in the early episodes) I can't help but think, that it doesn't follow the script of typical korean crime dramas if the reveal in episode 6 would be true. It is too early. Thus I think it's a red herring and we are fooled. Gaetal even though my instincts suspected the teacher, might be snomeone else. If we had only 8 episodes though I would say, the teacher is Gaetal for sure.

Thank you very much :)

Thank you very much. :) Have a good week.

I don't mind spoilers at all. I even seek them. :) So everything's fine. If you've seen ep 25 and 26 already feel free to spoil me though. Looking forward to watch the episodes tonight.

Thanks for the Spoiler :) I'm relieved now that she survives. Hopefully she can get justice somehow. And like you, I hope that Cheng Gong looses everything in the end and I notice in Age of Legends he played the main villian though. The actor is good with playing villians though.

The reason why I was also hesistant to judge him in the beginning, was because I encountered various dramas already in which memory scenes are not always necessarily showing the whole truth. Also his behaviour was very manipulative, so that someone can easily fall for his traps. In another drama I onced watched there was also a villian who was really a great villian, because he was so manipulative that someone could easily fall for his trap. This is a similar case. But as soon as the plot developped and more and more was clarified Cheng Gong's it became obvious that these memory scene were all true. Thus, in the beginning I considered both of them to be victims. But later on, when the plot developped I wondered how Lin Kan was able to stay his lawyer? It must have been so hard. She basically went through the same with her teacher once. I think deep down she wished she could find some evidence that would be of help for Zhao Xun.

Same here. In the beginning I really thought, maybe he was not aware of her struggling and from his side it might have really been a misunderstand. But then he admitted he knew and even enjoyed her struggling. That was also the moment when I lost it.

In the very beginning I was actually ambivalent of how to see Cheng Gong, whether I should even pity him or not. But after the past few episodes I'd like to see him punished. I hope his wife divorces him and he ends with nothing in the end, as beggar on the street, who lost everything. This man is so despicable. I can't stand him anymore. He deserves a hard beating and punishing. Learned nothing from his stay in prison.

Oh, wow you read my fanfict despite not know Be Reborn yet. :) I'm happy you liked it and you're the second person who read it without knowing Be Reborn. I can highly recommend Be Reborn. Loved this Crime Drama though.

Thank you very much :)

Totally agree with you. Also I wonder, how come that the behaviour of a woman is always questioned? No matter what she does, people always criticize women. While nobody ever confronted the perpetrator with harsh questions on his behavior. We all see that the way Mr Cheng Gong behaves towards other people is highly manipulative and toxic. Why does nobody question whether he is not aware of how his behaviour might be perceived by a shy, young female emplyoee? From a psychological point of view the females behaviour can be explained quite well. But they don't even consult a psychologist or therapist. In cases of sexual assault and rape, the victim is traumatized. Instead of consulting a therapist, the police questions her alone and Cheng Gong's laywer even arranges meetings between him and the victim outside of the whole investigation. That's what really shocks me though. Yes, unfortunately the way things are shown in the drama is very realistic and also shocking, because in my opinion from the first second on the victim should have gotten therapeutic assitance.

You didn't miss anything relevant then. ^^ Yeah, the representation of women is quite good though. And just in case that at some point you feel like talking to other fans and interacting about the drama, I have a Discord Server for Be Reborn. It's rather inactive at the moment and the group is small, but it is still open for everyone who wants to join the small community. I liked the drama so much that I even wrote fanfictions again though.

It is really more a she runs after him thing. And there are only few scenes in which they interact. He cares for his friends, because they are his only friends though. I believe both were only in, so that the bad guys have someone to blackmail him with. Maybe they also just included the girl to prevent people from going wild with homoerotic fantasies. From what I remember though, you shouldn't really miss anything if you skip the scenes in which Zhiyue appears though, only in the very end of the last episode you should watch it, because after he meets her something interesting happens which will be a foreshadowing. Hope you can still enjoy the drama though. Personally I loved it and didn't mind the female characters.

But they had a female cop who was quite likeable. Personally I don't understand why they had to include Su Ying since Liao Shuang was such a nice female cop. I really liked her and she could have gotten more screentime in my opinion. I had the impression they included Su Ying to have some kind of counterpart, someone who doubts Wenjie and creates obstacles for the father son relationship between Wenjie and Captain Luo. I think Wenjie would have been much more honest with Captain Luo if Su Ying didn't appear. Due to her Captain Luo acted a little but too emotional towards Wenjie, which caused Wenjie to go in defensive mode. But maybe the really just added more female characters to satisfy the censor or some quote.

There is no romance. Only some kind of father son like relationship between the protagonists. There is another female cop of the same rank later in the series, but to me she and Captain Luo appeared more like rivals. Also there is a female student who likes Wenjie and treats him well, but there is no real romance, only maybe in the very last episode at the end some kind of foreshadowing that there might be romance between Wenjie and that student, but it is never actually shown. During the drama they barely interact with each other. It focusses a lot on the cases.

Thank you very much :) I think your english is great though. And it is good to hear that you also enjoy translating the drama as much as we can now enjoy your subs. :)

That's what I also thought :) They did a good job in making him look so different without glasses. Also with the cap in EP 15 he looked completely different, even his chin and nose were different. I also think that there was a deeper meaning behind this, like showing physically that he consists of more than one person and switches personalities.

After watching the scene between ML and his father at the police station I also thought that Yoon Woo was truly shocked when he realized that he destroyed everything he could have had. I somehow believe that he wasn't truly evil but developed some kind of jekyll-hyde personality disorder. So when ML and FL talked about going back in time in the end of today's episode I also wondered whether they might be able to go back and fix Yoon Woos past to prevent all the murders from happening.

I am. :) You were indeed right and I'm relieved about that. Episode 15 at least to me was satisfying and it is really amazing how the actor managed to look completely differently without the glasses and with the cap. Korean Crime Dramas are really the best. :) Now I hope that the ML and FL manage to get back to their time and reunite there again. *crosses fingers for them*
