The picture was a news to say some other mentally disabled kid was able to get awards from doing some kind of art career path. It’s basically wolwoo’s little dream of being useful and successful in life even with his disability. Oh gosh just by writing this up my heart is arching thinking how happy and hopeful Wolwoo must be when he saw the news and clipped it on the mirror to look at it everyday lol…….. ughhhhhh

And grandma died probably cos she was too sad about wolwoo’s death and ilwoo too busy figuring out CCTV and stuffs so didn’t have time to care for her. She could have passed from a heart attack or sth (ppl do when they are in extreme sadness after someone’s passing) and grandma is probably old sick and weak to begin with as shown in the scene with Wolwoo at home watching TV - seems like her mind was already unclear before

This is not your typical revenge kdrama where you will see the protagonist acting like a superhero / anti hero giving out satisfying punches. This is almost like an indie Drama / humanity movie that’s raw, feels real, and will make you uncomfortable. It’s quiet and almost documentary .

You will see the director focuses on the protagonist’s face more during fight scenes so you can truly understand and feel what his emotions are. Even if he may be good at fighting, he’s still just a 17 years old kid (Korean age 18). He doesn’t even swear well and he’s not the brightest “avenger” ever with a big well planned plot.

This is a story with director asking questions about how should disadvantaged people get justice. They have real life struggles and unfortunately, that means it is also unsettling at times. We sometimes also look away because our lives are difficult enough. The director just hope we can be reminded to at least look at them once.

The sunbae thing was because ML was an advanced kid. He got into college earlier than FL so he is actually her sunbae

Saw some people said not much happened but personally thought it’s all prep works and psychological revenge at this point. I for once actually appreciate the “nothing-ness” this writer usually does lol like it actually not just conversations without moving the plot, this time these are all actual preparations to stir things up among the bullies.

Monarch’s “plot” did not make sense at all lol she tried hard to create one but it failed so badly lol the villains legit did all that for nothing. It leads to nowhere with all those switching.

ML and FL are only 2 years apart. FL is 36 in Korean age = 35 in 2022

One good one doesn’t suddenly make all the rest automatically good tho lol it’s very hit or miss there are really good ones for sure but also bad ones

It’s all build ups. His storyline is probably gonna come in part 2.

First week has too little actual content so little has happened and I honestly don’t need a repeat of the exact same scene for 3 times (fight). The directing is weird. But it has all the interesting elements and leads are all good looking lol I opened this wanting a simple fantasy entertainment just want everyone to look cool while doing it so super low expectations = I am still looking forward to next week lol

Me too!!!

I am loving the opening week. I also liked ep1. I am never someone who can’t handle build up episodes and usually found what I like in the first 15 minutes even if it’s all build ups lol You know the tone, the logic, the humor and directing usually really early on.

Personally i loved that FL’s ex who had been with her for 6 years aren’t really a “jerk” - he came to the funeral and comforted FL in a very realistic way someone who was sincere dating but just got tired of the relationship would do. And him apologizing to her “I am sorry that I wasn’t able to support you by your side” loved the line. Just by how they portrayed this ex already gave me great insights into how they are handling the characters and the direction of the plot in this show.

Also loved how FL packed up her whole life and willingly went to the countryside in this. It’s a nice detour from many similar shows.

I am very big on slice of life dramas so this is totally my taste. I LOVE city people finding their inner peace by going slower but sadly didn’t like hometown chachacha nor My Blues. I am glad this one seems promising!

(Also while I am not a “fan” of Im siwan but four dramas that he picked were amazing scripts that I loved a lot - Misung, Hell For Others, Run On, Tracer. Especially Run On and Tracer are really my top shows ever. So I will always start a show he picked just to see if I like it or not - he has really good eyes for scripts)

But the show is getting better and better lol

Is it on Hulu? Lots of the shows been on Hulu recently for the US

Haha maybe cos I found all the characters very interesting since I didn’t watch the show for SJK but just loved the setting haha

Honestly don’t know what people was expecting 😂 of coz ep2 will be much more fun than ep1 since this is a reborn show - the juiciest stuffs happen after he died hahahaa plus it’s a big family they need time to build that world and introduce the characters lol ep1 was fun in its own but you knew it can’t compare to ep2 after it officially start??? Lol

It’s opinion but his best script at least in my opinion is top tiered Arthdal chronicles 😂 that script is unbeatable

Mydramalist isn’t official 🤣 it can only update what info/news updated by the production team. I don’t think we will see shin’s role more it doesn’t really have anything to do much w the plot now

“Reborn” lol 😂😂😂

Haha yea now that it’s aired it’s no longer a secret 🤣

It’s a surprise cameo so they hid his participation
