I know this is a late reply, but one of my favourite pieces of media is The Count of Monte Cristo and when I saw that Goodbye Mr Black was adapted I thought I'd love it. After forcing myself to watch 6 episodes, I had to give up ;/

Think its slightly above Again My Life but below Reborn Rich for me. I just dont get why screenwriters struggle so much with adapting stories like these where the main lead is able to use knowledge of the past to his advantage. They just write it so subpar, the majority of this kdrama is held up by the acting.

Good news, there will be a kdrama adaptation of Becoming a Cook Soldier Legend out this year, where the MC will have a system! https://kisskh.at/783738-becoming-a-cooking-soldier-legend

I really hope future kdramas and cdramas learn from this and actually adapt the idea of systems into their shows instead of trying what this cdrama did.

I remember reading the manhwa when it first came out but its been years since I read it and forgot a lot tho.

So I haven't seen the drama yet (waiting till it finishes next week) but I'm wondering who ML ends up with so far. I know he has his ex wife like you said but are they together now?

Just wanna let you know that there is no season 2. This drama and Judge Returns are two different dramas, but the same actor playing the ML in both and is a judge in both, thats all the similarities.

I mean since 2010 he's been in 18 kdramas and only three that id consider a flop. Two just happen to be one after the other (Divorce Insurance and The Good Man) but before that he was in banger after banger imo.

I will never understand choosing someone who's more impulsive and enjoying the passion over someone who's gentle and dependable (basically a green flag). Guess I'll have to check it out to see how they develop the romances.

Ahhh... I hate when writers do this, especially as a fan of the manhwas, the only one I think was done right was Reborn Rich (till the last ep). Idk what it is but they don't seem to be able to translate the material into an interesting kdrama, and they also always seem to mess up the ending by writing their own versions that are worse than the originals which is really confusing, cause if you have the source material and can't build upon that then leave it alone honestly ;/

I haven't seen it yet, but as a fan of the manhwa, I hope its not done like Again My Life, which as a fan of that manhwa too I felt they didn't do as well as they could've, where it seems more like exposition rather than something actually happening.

I remember watching the first ep when it aired but had a feeling the suspense would killed me so I literally binged it right after ep 12 was released

Characters (Spoilers)

Kong Eun Tae: The youngest team leader at his company, and winner of 1.8 billion won in the lottery. Very easygoing, almost too much, but begins to change after winning the lottery and starts to stand up to himself. Loves his family but is unable to tell them about his lottery winnings due to his brother-in-law who already wasted all their money on useless business ventures, causing his sister to start working at the supermarket while her husband chills at home.

Yang Jun Ho: Technically he's Eun Tae's senior, but works under him in the same team despite working at the company for longer. This causes some resentment in him which manifests as annoyance and poking fun at Eun Tae whenever he can. This begins to change when Eun Tae wins the lottery and starts to stand up for himself.

Hope this kdramas good, since Lee Sung Kyung's kdramas have always been good until The Nice Guy

Seems interesting but idk why 7 months later it still doesn't have good subs ;/

Seems like they'll be no overarching love triangle, which is kinda rare for a drama with a youth tag, like high school and uni dramas. Looking forward to it!

I actually preferred this season to season 2 despite it not having a main storyline. I just felt its cases were stronger overall whereas the main storyline in season 2 was a bit weaker than season 1 imo. Hope they do make a season 4 tho, and maybe we can get some romance. I know a lot of fans might not like it in this kinda show, but man the chemistry between Lee Je Hoon and Pyo Ye Jin is too much, at this point they're just showing off.

I remember reading like 20 chapters of the manhwa when it first came out. Basically a dude wins the lottery and still goes to work, but with the mindset that if anything ever happens he's got the lottery money to fall back on, and we get to see how that change in his mindset affects his work and how he looks at the people around him etc, its actually really interesting.

I'd put it right under my father is strange.

Special Labour Inspector Jo and Parole Examiner Lee are also really good.
