I completed "Bad Prosecutor" today and was shocked (like always) when I skimmed my "Plan to watch" list. Waaaay too many dramas, ot enough lifetime left. For every drama I remove, three new ones appear. And like two seconds ago, for absolutely unknown reasons, "Reborn Rich" added itself to that list. :/

To be honest, I found this drama fairly boring. It had a few nice moments but , in my opinion, they are not worth it investing 12h of one's lifetime. If you were not feeling it on episode 2, you probably won't find the rest more enjoyable. Especially the last two episodes revealed that the writers were out of ideas. And the last episode was basically a recap.

I actually liked that Gwang-nam insisted on keeping his private life separate from his professional life, so I hoped that he and Jung-hwan would never become a couple but "just" good friends. Nevertheless, I'm disappointed that the writers did not give Gwang-nam a proper story. They just started with a storyline, and suddenly dropped it as if it had never happened.

The same happened to the other characters. I feel like the writers put more time and effort into Kang Hae-jin than into anything else. :/

So true. He's such a lovely character. In a few episodes, he was about to do something with his life but the writers seem to have forgotten him. I hope he doesn't end up as the fifth wheel. :(

Indeed. While I agree that the writing is not the best, I do enjoy the characters a lot because the actors did a really good job making them feel alive. The writer(s) put effort into the background stories of each character.

The gay ex-husband is not just some gay accessoire but has got a life. He's manly and strong. Being gay is just a tiny aspect of this character, albeit an important detail in the context of this drama because Eun-sang basically saved his life, and now he complements her as a great friend who's not even replaceable by Jin-ho. To me, it's refreshing to see a normal lasting non-romantic friendship between a normal man and a woman. Gwang-nam is one of my favourite characters in this drama.

Jin-ho's boss is also awesome. We don't see him often but whenever he appears, he r aadiates lot of personality. His bluntness is just perfect for Jin-ho and makes the relationship between them thrilling. I love every scene with him.

The only thing that's bothering me in this drama are sudden changes which feel inconsistent, for example, Madame Yoo who is suddenly emotional. Or the steamy kisses between Eun-sang and Ji-ho, and suddenly not even a little kiss anymore. The development of the relationship, the transition from client to boyfriend, could have be explored in a better way, too. And there a few more things.

All in all, I think the characters and their distinct background stories make this drama interesting. In my opinion, whoever wrote this did a good job in this respect. And the rest (e.g. a better dramaturgy) is something, one can learn.

Do they? As for me, I felt that people were "just" concerned. Most of us know how harsh the film/drama industry is. Actors need to be very thin to be regarded as beautiful and to get well paying jobs. It is reasonable to express concerns about an unhealthy weight because, otherwise, it could happen that "even thinner" becomes the new beauty standard like in the fashion industry. PMY looked perfectly fine in her past dramas. If she lost weight because she is/was sick, we hope that she'll get better soon and does not HAVE to stay this thin.

I haven't seen any haters here yet. Yesterday, I read a comment by someone who seemed to be concerned about PMYs weight. I shared the same thought while watching the drama. PMY is cute but when she smiles, her face looks sunken.

Until a couple of minutes ago, I thought I had never watched a drama with her in a significant role before but then I figured out that she had the MAIN role in "Queen for Seven Days". Of course, I knew that she had A role in that drama (I read that up yesterday) but I thought it was some minor role. Now that I know, I do see the similarities between the actresses but if you ask me in a couple of weeks, I would think that they were two different ones. This makes me a bit sad because I think that PMY is a talented actress with a lot of charisma. And in this drama, she has got a wonderful chemistry with the main lead. I DO want her to be healthy because I hope that she'll be in more good dramas in the future. Plus I don't enjoy watching dramas where I feel that the actors have to be extremely unhealthy to meet an extremely unhealthy beauty standard. PMY is not just very slim in this drama, she looks starved.

lol, you are demanding that we talk about the writing instead of the story while also demanding that the "rookie writer" should never get a chance again?

As for me, I watch a drama because of the stories and the characters in it. Of course, I'm aware that the drama was written by someone but I don't care who wrote it. I want to immerse myself into that fictional world. While I'm watching a drama, I want the characters to be "alive".

If I'm unhappy, I enjoy talking about the drama, not about some "rookie writer". Bad writing is bad writing. Just like bad acting is bad acting. Nevertheless, I don't want to join the toxic task force who demand that somebody should not get a second chance ever again just because I didn't enjoy the writer's/actor's/whoever's work. If I don't enjoy something, I drop it and go on with my life.

Regarding the ML, he had never been introduced as an autist. Being socially awkward does not mean that somebody must be autistic. He's an orphan (only child, probably left alone by his father all the time). He was excluded from his aunt's family (many children). Later, his first love left him because she found a "better opportunity". It is understandable that he has shied away from socialising for such a long time because, in the past, everybody hurt him whenever he thought of them as family. He's simply not used to "normal" social interaction. I don't think that the "rookie writer" messed up in this respect.

Haha, yeah, that scene was really nice. I believe he secretly enjoyed the "annoyance".

I agree with Subash267's comment. The scenes with Ji-Ho and Sang-Eun are quite cute. For me, they are entertaining enough to watch the remaining episodes of this otherwise mediocre K-drama. I don't think it's the worst drama out there. I've definitely seen worse where the main leads did not have any chemistry at all.

So true. Her character was introduced as a crazy bitch who could have caused a lot of trouble but suddenly she's so supportive and even nice? Same with Madame Yoo. Unfortunately, that often happens Kdramas in the last few episodes as if the authors suddenly ran out of ideas for the interesting characters in their shows.

This was one of the few romance dramas I've ever watched. I find LMH fairly unattractive, so I didn't pay much attention to his make-up. To me, he looks like the Asian Prince Charming (Shrek), just with less variety regarding facial expressions and less personality. I was really surprised when I learnt that he is a veeeeeery popular actor. (Good for him.)

At the beginning of the drama, I was interested in the development of the relationship between the FL and Prince Charming. Unfortunately, the writers suddenly dropped any development and made them a couple out of the blue. That's not uncommon for love stories, which is the reason why I usually avoid them. When I read "romance" in the description, I usually expect a lazy story in this respect.

I was more interested in the murderer and found that part of the story fairly enjoyable. Unfortunately, after the bad guy died, there was no story anymore but the drama didn't end anyway.

The lack of an actual story at the end of a drama is a problem with many dramas, even dramas I enjoyed a lot before they ran out of ideas. I give them good ratings anyway.

Despite its flaws, I found this drama watchable.

I would not call it pretty good but I cannot understand the overly negative comments either. This drama was not that bad just average. I think all those people were disappointed because they expected more from this drama. As for me, I didn't expect much, and didn't know the actors either, so I didn't care about the ML's limited acting skills.

You are not the only one. I'm sure the relationship between Park Hae Young and Cha Soo Hyun is supposed to be ambiguous. They do have a great chemistry. Just like Cha Soo Hyun and Lee Jae Han. It makes this drama interesting .

What a lovely series. I've just completed it but I don't remember much. The story was nothing special, just entertaining. The chemistry between the ML and FL was great. I also loved the secondary characters, especially the FL's best friend.

Great drama with interesting characters and character development. The last few episodes felt a bit lengthy. The drama would have been better if it had been a bit shorter, maybe 12 episodes. Nevertheless, it was very entertaining.

No worries. Just like you I'm just sharing my personal opinion here. Yours is as valid as mine. :)

To be honest, I haven't watched anything else with Kim Go Eun apart from "Goblin" and "Eternal King". I liked her in both dramas. She's pretty and sweet, she's got a range of facial expressions and she feels like a real person.

However, since you watched two more dramas than I, maybe you are right and maybe she she is not that good as a romantic partner. Not everybody can play every role. That's fine.

I think the problem is the lack of common interests, which is the authors' fault. Ji Eun Tak is 18/19 and a pupil for the majority of the drama, and Kim Shin is like 40/900. It is difficult to make "daddy and his daughter" unseen if the characters do not have anything in common apart from good looks and "youth vs money". The actors cannot add something that's not there.

I found the second couple in "Goblin" far more interesting because one could see that Sunny was totally into Grim Reaper's awkard behaviour whilst the Grim Reaper did his best to become a "normal" person and meet her assumed expectations. They wanted to learn more about one another, and there was more to discover, not just "oh, he's so handsome".

Ji Eun Tak and Kim Shin didn't want to learn more about one another because they already knew everything about each other within the first few minutes of the drama (apart from the problem with the sword, which did not change anything anyway).

In Eternal King, the protagonists didn't share any common interests either. They liked each other from the beginning, and there wasn't any relevant development, no conflict.

This drama had so many good ideas and a few wonderful actors but the writers somehow managed to make this drama a confusing mess. It was never clear whether something happened on purpose or if it was just bad writing or bad acting because there was basically no consistency in the storyline. It often felt as if relevant information was missing. Also the audio quality was surprisingly bad. Sometimes, one could hardly hear the actors's voices. And then this drama ended "somehow".

I, too, was surprised by the hostile comments regarding the FL. This drama would have been fairly boring if she hadn't done the job the way she did. The team, and especially Kim Do Gi, had obviously been suspicious as of episode 1. I would have been angry if she had NOT investigated the Rainbow Taxi team just because Kim Do Gi is good-looking. Also, I don't like incompetence. Even though she's not my favourite character either, I think she did a good job.
