Love Story is not the focus
“Reborn” is a beautifully intense drama that dives deep into themes of family, personal trauma, and inner strength. While it was heavily marketed as a romantic story centered around the two leads, the actual focus is almost entirely on the female protagonist's struggles within her family and her journey of resilience and rebirth.
This shift in focus might disappoint viewers who, like me, were drawn in by the promise of a heartwarming love story. The chemistry between the main couple is undeniably powerful—so strong, in fact, that it shines even outside of the show in their real-life interactions. That’s why it feels like a missed opportunity that their relationship was pushed to the sidelines, with far too few scenes together.
I found myself watching mostly for them—their dynamic was electric and full of potential. Sadly, fans of romance may feel let down by how little screen time is actually devoted to their connection. If you’re here purely for the romantic storyline, you might be better off watching their behind-the-scenes clips on TikTok—they’re absolutely magical and give more butterflies than the drama itself.
That said, “Reborn” still stands out for its portrayal of deep, difficult topics and the emotional growth of its characters. It’s heavy at times, especially due to the closed-mindedness of some figures in the story, but it remains a compelling watch—just not the romantic ride many expected.
Recommendation: Don’t start this drama expecting a love story. Start it if you’re ready for an emotional, sometimes dark, but ultimately inspiring journey.
