After all those webtoons and webnovels about someone getting killed (murdered) only to be reborn again into the…
haha i've always thought the concept was so dumb but i'm eating my words now after reading some villainess isekai manhwa etc. like they're annoyingly addictive!! i got so sucked into the genre and now i'm like EXTRA hyped for this drama besides being a big sjk fan. this is just fuel for my new obsession lol
going to be so fucking insane when this airs also THREE episodes a week ??? cant believe i've been waiting for new content from joongki for over a year and now i'll get to watch him 3 times a week what kind of blessing from god😭
Did they change writers for episode 7 & 8??? The way they unfold the main's backstory didn't match up at all to…
I feel the same way. I'm like the last person ever to complain about tonal shifts/genre shifts in a drama; my favorite drama is Vincenzo so I almost feel like a hypocrite saying this but man I'd be lying if I didn't say it bothered me here :(
wow! so I binged all available episodes since all the fun gifs of this show finally made me cave in and watch it and it's extremely fun so far, the case in ep 5/6 is one of my favorite criminal cases I've seen in a drama so far (didn't expext that outcome at all!) and I am IN LOVE with Cheon Jihoon 🤧
That being said, I'll be sorry that I have to side with those that didn't like ep 7/8 as much. Like, YES it's all necessary to explain what happened to him, why he started the 1$ law office, why he wears those goddamn sunglass all the time and it was all done beautifully and thoughtfully and so on. I GET THAT. And I'm not even against that! It was really well done. Nam Goongmin is a phenomenal actor for sure. But we spent nearly 3 episodes with this backstory in a 14 episode drama. If it had 16 or more pisodes, sure why not, but spending so much time on the flashback and giving a /guest character/ this much depth, story importance and screentime instead of you know........fleshing out the female lead? I feel like the audience is closer with Joo Young's character from just 2 ½ episodes than Ma Ri's, with whom we've been spending time with since the very first episode.
That's my personal gripe with these episodes. I don't know. Like I 100% understand that Joo Young is like absolutely crucial for the plot and to Jihoon's life but I can't help but be upset how the the FL has been practically absent for 2 whole episodes. Is she just gonna keep being the MLs sidekick? I just really hope she gets an important arc of her own. From what I've heard, I guess it's not Kim Ji Eun's first rodeo in terms of being sidelined in a drama with a famous ML 🤐
THE KISS AAHAHAAAAUGHJSK!!!11!!!1!! genuinely such a good scene i was more excited for it than for any other kiss…
RIGHT IT WAS SO GOOD???? like I didn't expect for this silly goofy comedy drama to give me one of this year's best kisses, it actually gave me the flutters and that's becoming more and more rare
Im surprised that so many people hate the scene with the pigeons saving Vincenzo on the rooftop. I mean, its really…
Tbh I always thought it's not even that this scene was that unbelievable (there are scientific studies that show pigeons can recognize and tell apart human faces) it's just hilarious that ppl always pick that one particular scene to complain about the realism as if they didn't just watch 14 hours about a korean mafia lawyer trying to get some gold out of a basement and fighting corruption 😭 The mere premise of the show is unrealistic in itself and the writer never pretended it wasn't because the point was always escapism. Like if the suspension of disbelief hasn't already kicked in this far into the show then they're just plain out watching it with the wrong mindset.
the first two episodes had me DYING this show is absolute chaos in the best way possible!! i adore how goofy the script is, everyone is just committing tomfoolery 24/7😭
Confirmed to be streamed on VIU as a original officially tited as "Reborn Rich"https://variety.com/2022/global/news/asian-streamer-viu-profitability-original-series-1235386324/
really hope VIKI picks it up as well then😭 I'm suprised Netflix gave it a pass, releasing another SJK project would only be doing them favors tbh.
RIP the youngest son of a conglomerate you will be missed lmao though it's an insanely long and unpractical title i lowkey grew attached to it so the new name will take some time getting used to
Wow, Song Joong Ki decided not to get paid for appearing in this movie in support of this movie's artistic quality.…
Right? And as an A-lister who could practically have any role he wants at that. I've honestly never heard of any actor doing something like that at all. It makes me even more curious about this movie since he must have really liked the script on top of wanting to support the rookie actors & director.
Song Joong Ki just won the Daesang (grand prize) for Vincenzo at this year's APAN awards! The last one he got was for DOTS iirc. Did not expect Vincenzo to bag any more awards after more than 1½ years but I'm so happy 😭😭😭 Absolutely deserved for such an iconic role like this. I genuinely cannot imagine any other actor playing this character, it was tailored for him idc idc. 빈센조 만세!!!
i also just realized how absolutely dirty all the women in this show were done:
1) Miho: don't need to comment on this y'all already know.. 2) Juhee: did not get her girlboss moment like she deserved and instead was made to believe her husband's stupid lies all the way to the end and her conclusion just ??????????? 3) Hyejin: died a meaningless death by the hands of her wife-beater husband (who was left with NO repercussions, still mad abt this) after finally escaping him
do NOT watch this show for satisfying female character arcs😭
First time checking in on here after finishing the drama and ooooooof. I was actually quite close to giving it a 9 but gave it a 8.5 in the end because of how Miho's arc was handled. HOW COULD THEY MASSACRE MY GIRL LIKE THIS? I feel like her sudden illness did not only make little sense (radiation poisoining doesn't work like that lol) but also added barely anything to the overall plot but moreso serve as a means for Changho to change his ways and basically go full on Vincenzo mode in the last episode. Even if I low-key enjoyed the poetic justice done to Doha in the end with the poisoned water (which btw, made even less sense than Miho's cancer), it still felt like something was missing in the grander scheme of things and I'm not sure if this style of ending was the most fitting for a villain like him. It kind of felt like the writer lost a lot of momentum towards the end, didn't know how to properly wrap up the story and just kind winged it. It was like me back in my High School exams writing near perfect analyses and then completely butchering the final paragraph lmao. Nearing the end, with less and less runtime left I kept wondering how they were gonna win the whole thing against Doha but they kept taking all these setbacks and then they just went straight to Changho's revenge which felt more like an aftermath and there weren't really many exciting or strong events besides Miho spilling the tea on live television and then her death, which again didn't feel super impactful either. Add a lot of unanswered questions/plot points that were left hanging on top of that like Prof. Seo's paper etc. + missing closure for a bunch of characters. I mean, a B&W montage????? It looked cool and all but.. that's it? :( They showed us what Changho as BM does now and where the organization is headed and thought it was enough closure but it was the most bare-mininum closure ever. The last stretch of episodes left much to be desired for sure. But I do think people are overexaggerating it a little due to the fresh feelings about the ending. It was a solid thriller drama that was exhilarating to watch up until like episode 14 or so. For how over the top it was, it was well-written enough up until then imho. But overall I had an absolute blast with this show and none of the actors disappointed, including LJS (but Yang Kyung Won stole the show <3). The way it ended wasn't phenomenal and it wasn't terribly bad either, but it was quite lackluster and rushed. I'm kind of glad I watched this without feeling too attached to it. The drama was still tons of fun, and I definitely don't regret watching it, but they just fumbled the bag at the end. Welp.
It is based on a webtoon so you can say what was the webtoon author smoking too lol I was shocked too when I saw…
Yeah ik, well both of them I guess 😂 I'm slowly starting to look forward to this just bc of the insane premise + the director being apparently pretty renowned. Makes me wonder what made him choose this kind of story haha
