If you've been traumatized by shows like Reborn Rich I'd recommend this show.
I thought this was gonna be a sort of comedy/action/revenge show but the emotional punch hit me in the gut.
If you've been traumatized by shows like Reborn Rich and I Belong to Your World, I'd recommend this show.
//violence, blood, bullying, child abuse (emotional abuse), substance abuse, gang violence, car accident, suicide, suicidal ideation, cussing, kidnapping, adultery
//major spoilers//
I did lowkey ship the MC (gangster) and his best friend (the prosecutor's son). ---- Lmao, I looked it up and turns out the original work is a BL but they changed it to a bromance for the adaptation. So the queer coded vibes were on purpose. Considering that, I do think they went weirdly far in the opposite direction: giving the MC 2 female love interests and having one of the last things he says include "wanna go meet some girls?". They could've kept it ambiguous and the straight love interests were not necessary. Those 2 had more chemistry than any of the potential het couples.
//********************************//
When the gang's chairman realized it was his adoptive son in the kid's body! When his old subordinate realized! And he actually told them the truth instead of what the MC did in Reborn Rich! I think this healed a lot of my wounds from Reborn Rich actually loll.
The plot twist at the end!!! The kid's soul moving on instead of the gangster's!! I sobbed when I realized!! I thought it was gonna have a similar ending to Reborn Rich or I Belong to Your World and I braced myself for that. Which means I was entirely unprepared when they reveal that he was going instead! I don't think I've cried that much to a drama in a while! And I'd somehow managed to not cry during this entire show and then the end got me!
I like the ending though, I'm glad he (the gangster) was able to continue living in the kid's body and I think the ending scene was them in college? So I'm happy everyone got their happy ending.
