That's true, It's like how IGN gives everything a 7/10 and now that rating means nothing.

Just finished S2 and wanted to write my thoughts on it:

While not as good as S1, it had its brilliant moments too;
like the frontman actively manipulating everyone and coming out on top

Gi Hun failing to do anything even with all of that money and previous knowledge of the games

frontman's brother always being a step behind

new games that were entertaining to watch

representing an LGBT character in a way that feels natural and not forced at all, I really wanna give them props for that cuz in western media currently there is a wave of LGBT representation in movies, games and dramas that always feels forced, and the characters are always defined just by their sexuality and never by who they are as a person and in S2 they did a fantastic job of creating a character the felt believable and in no way forced.

they also made Gi Hun's growth believable, usually in sequels they make the main character too much OOC, and it always feels unnatural and messes with the continuity of the story but in S2 Gi Hun and what he did with the money matches the level of intelligence he had in S1, they didn’t suddenly make him a genius, he was still a too trusting idiot that is now a little more prepared by everything he's seen in S1 and the money of course.


Criticisms: I don't have much to criticize cuz the story has yet to be finished, so I reserve judgment after I see what ending they wanna do for the whole series, S2 did an admirable job of setting up several story lines with a major confrontation to come, so I have a lot to look forward to.

I've seen a lot of people complain and criticize S2 and compare it to S1 unfairly, and I find that to be quite premature cuz S1 had a complete and finished story to tell with two confrontations and a major twist while in S2 we only have half of that and that half is mostly setting up the climax for S3 so of course it's not gonna be as good as S1.

I'll give it a solid 8/10.

As an introvert I saw a lot of myself in Min Su which is why I can give him a break for some of his choices but not jumping on top pf the guy attacking Semi was something I can't forgive him for, it also could be my bias and crush on Semi😍

If you consider what I wrote an insult, then you have never truly been insulted in your life.

Yep, that's 100% accurate, S2 was just setting up the confrontation and the setting. But in S1 we had a full story with 2 confrontations with "villains" so obviously it's gonna feel much better to people.

I think that in S1 he was playing the bumbling buffoon who got ahead by pure luck, and he played that excellently cuz there is so much to do with a character like that, but in S2 he's supposed to be all serious and depressing so he doesn't get much opportunity to showcase his acting.

On top of that, we had a full story in S1 with two confrontations with villains that gave him an opportunity to shine, in S2 it's laying the groundwork for the final confrontation in S3, so there isn't much he can do here.

It's a solid 8/10, anymore than that would be an insult to season 1.

I fixed that, autocorrect messed it up.
and as I said before, people who come to read comments on a finished drama's comment section go there with the understanding that they may be spoiled, that's common sense.

How soft are you? I used the mildest language possible. like at least make sense if you wanna label me as something I'm not.
do you even understand English?

Most Kdramas are great until the unnecessary breakup🥺 hopefully we see less and less of this trope in the future.

Someone that's looking for a great story and doesn't give a shit about others opinion isn't gonna come looking in a finished drama's comment section.

meh! Some dramas deserve to be spoiled to save future generation from wasting their time.

for me personally it has always been accurate and close to what I feel a drama deserves, except for reborn rich, that shit deserves a very generous 2/10 and that's it.
and even if we just go by the vibe I'm getting from the rating, it's one of those that I wait and watch after it finishes airing, cuz Korean historical dramas lately have been a let-down for me.

Really? real life representation? are you mad?

Do you in real life go straight into a super serious relationship right after ending everything with your fiancé and on the cusp of starting a new life/career? on top of that, the relationship is with a super close friend and a family friend, with the chance that if it fails, it may ruin all of those relationships?

Is it realistic to work for a huge company overseas for years and be basically penniless after you quit?

Is it realistic to start a relationship with a vulnerable child that needs a mother-figure in her life and then get together with her father-figure just to take all of that away from that child by going on a year long (possibly longer) work trip?

You call this realistic?

It's barely started and it's already a 7.7. it doesn't bode well

Ummm👉👈 she is really bad with money~(￣▽￣)~*

"it feels like he is pulling teeth to get her to love him"
OMG! you just described exactly how I felt🤯🤯

ML was carrying the the romance and the miniscule amount of chemistry all by himself😔 I felt so bad for him

Because they said it themselves, go look at old comments if you're interested in facts, they were several people that were spreading hate just because their fav BL drama was rated lower or QOT fans that were mad this has a higher rating than QOT.

Everyone has the right to give whatever rating they want as long as the issues that they have with the drama makes sense and isn't something that they've made up themselves. For example, when I tell people that Reborn rich has a trash ending, I'm not saying that cuz I'm a hater I say that with evidence and proof.

the reviews are made by haters that were mad this drama got a higher rating than their fav drama, you can go look at their comments from months ago, and it's clear why they hate the drama.

not really
