Its very draggy. You are generous- I gave it a 7 lol

Cute sweet story with a rushed ending sadly, still, worth the watch. I was not a fan of the 5 yr old bob during High School. FL looked way too young in all those scenes and it was hard to believe that was her best look, which they proved in the present day scenes, when she finally looked the age she needed to portray. Not her fault, hair & makeup perhaps producers. My only irritation really. This show did need some affection at the end, sadly they missed that mark - I had thought they could have had the 2 of them at the end of the comments. It would have been a good surprise/nice touch for the viewers. Sometimes I think these directors don’t understand the power of the final few minutes of a show. Hit the right mark for the audience, they’ll forget the flaws in the show if you give them a big wow and all the feels at the end. Just sayin’ 😉

seems to be a reoccurring theme amongst chinese moms in dramas. Uber possesive, controlling, treat them like a child who can’t make good decisions, even if they are in their 30’s, its me or him type attitude. Its so exhausting and stupid.

I suspect the impatient “skippers” are the ones bored. Skipping parts mean you miss pivotal dialogue and all the emotion expressed by the actors through behavior, facial expressions and script. You take that out of this show, and yes people will have lost the whole point. This is not a show you can skip.

Don’t drop it even if tempted. The build up in the beginning takes a little while, but totally worth it.

I loved this show, and I don’t think you could say it’s wasn’t romantic at all. The chemistry was evident, and the hints all added to the feels of the show. There is romance and it ends sweetly. It’s just not the dominant genre.

Its a solid show. Beautiful drama!

I think a point is missed here. There was great chemistry and the ending (because of that) was satisfying.

The beginning of a together.

Beautiful drama.

I gave this 7.5/10. I have been desperately waiting for this one, the trailer portrayed a series focused on the Seoul fashion industry that looked to be high energy with a pace to match. While most of the expectations are met, it was a surprise at how slow the pacing was. Often it lacked the gusto I kind of expected. There is plenty of chemistry amongst the leads, and I loved the 4 friends, who each hold a career within the fashion world. I watched with my daughter who is training as a designer, and we both had hoped for a lot more “something” (she quit this after 4 episodes). Perhaps it was too long, could have made for a fabulous movie length??? Not sure. I’m not certain there was a point to the 2ML and that whole relationship other than really a filler or perhaps to get you to feel some angst that ML might miss his chance, but the writers failed here in giving us any reason to care. Overall, I enjoyed most of it. I wouldn’t rewatch, its not comparable to the energy of Business Proposal, and I had hoped it would have been right up there. I’m not sure it would be anywhere high up in a list to recommend it either, as someone else mentioned in the comments, unless they had some kind of vague interest in the fashion industry.

While I agree that final episode was a major shock to the system after the incredibly clever first 15 episodes AND I believe the ending of the novel is the direction this show should have taken, I can’t quite bring myself to allow the odd way they took this to discredit the genius acting, script and OST that made Reborn Rich what it was. I’ll still give it a 10/10 because all of those elements were there right through to the very end.

My only issue, the way they tied that up was far too rushed. The pacing of ep 16 was more hurried than the previous 15. This show needed at least one more (or 2) to ensure the direction they took it, felt believable and solid.

Take this for what it is, a melodramatic older Tawainese romance that is trope heavy. It’ll give you a good laugh (when it probably isn’t intended to be funny) and an eye roll or two. But this incredibly “70s looking styling, and over promoted kiwi fruit” TV series is watchable and has a satisfying ending. If there was ever a strong argument for 2L to win the girl it is this one.

Subtitles are a mess on Viki. I appreciate that people volunteer to do this, so don’t jump on me. The problem is Viki needs more editors to fix the English so it flows properly. Majority of thr subs are broken English, or phrased wrong so the meaning is misunderstood. This is a massive disservice when this is such a huge part of a viewers enjoyment of a foreign show. I wish Viki would at least employ some qualified editors to fix/review the sub work.

I can’t remember when they get together but if you don’t mind spoilers they are together then separate then together again later, but that should be obvious from the beginning episode. The massive flashback to college yrs (pre prison) ends in ep 23. It goes back to his release. Expect a heavy and serious and long amount of shoe before they sort their relationship out finally.

bear with it. I was so irritated with this show for a long time. The friend doesn’t really improve theres little character growth for her, but then its not really necessary as she’s not there to carry the show. But I hear ya!

I’m not sure I agree thats its well written, there is some questionable dialogue/moments in this show that I felt were a writing fail, but it’s tolerable because the rest of the show was on point.

There are multiple love triangles all the way thru for both leads… a bit silly.

Hilarious comedy most the way through, something which both MLs pull off very well and despite the plethora of typical kdrama tropes.

Holy mo, Yook Sung Jae can pull off those suits!! But oh boy was this show all over the place! Gave me The King vibes with the fantasy elements, esp with the bad guy Dad, evil villian on a par with the Uncle in TKME. Also can we call out the obsession with CLENCHED FISTS with this director. Why do we everytime need a close up of a clenched fist to show someone is frustrated or angry. Gets old fast. Got a bit draggy about half way thru and too many spoons being dished out by magic granny… most the actors played their parts well, though Junhee needed to show about more expression- she comes across a bit emotionless the entire way through. Would I watch again, probably not, but I would probably suggest people try it at least.
