Disappointment
I didn't bother to watch EP2 and I think I'll drop:
the first half of EP1 was great and couldve been a perfect opening for a time-travel revenge drama like Reborn Rich.. Jang Da Ah would've been perfect cast for both timelines like back then when Song Joong-ki aced Reborn Rich. The cast was all that made Reborn Rich perfect and here it could've been perfect too.
I'm not saying Jang Da-Ah's acting was perfect in EP1 it really felt bad compared to how she acted in Pyramid Game. However I won't criticize her acting because the opening was great nevertheless and she just didn't have a proper chance to show her skills.
The 2025 scenario just messed up by giving another twist etc... Instead of having her time travel the 26 years or just wake up in another body or something like in Reborn Rich they just messed it up and lowered the excitement. I understand that this drama is probably just going to be about the integration of a ex-star into society as an average woman or something as they already implied 1999 was her all-time high of happiness in her life, however the opening was just too exciting.
I think there will still be some revenge aspects but then again without Jang Da Ah it will feel bad. The other cast is perfect too but I don't like the energy of the FL it's just too much of a romcom when they had such an opening for a revenge drama.
My guess: Director Choi probably hired someone to end super star Im Se Ra after she wasn't cooperative in being a pleasure to himself and his ultra rich clients or something and then the other star who saw Im Se Ra as competition took the role or something with her brother supporting this girl.. Not an amazing story but there's nothing else I could think of after this opening, however as said with Jang Da Ah it could've been better.. I'm not glazing her just saying I watched it mostly for her and because I expected something more than a romcom with it being the like 100th ish that dropped in Q3... Could've been the Reborn Rich of 2025!
