The problem is that the whole reborn thing is totally unnecessary for the events in the ending.
What "training" and "skills"? He didn't need any of that.
He has the audio recording!
HW got shot and fell off a cliff - does it take any thing else to motivate him to take revenge?
You can jump from Ep 1 to Ep 16, and everything would be the same.
And yes, the audio recording alone would be enough to take down the Soonyang family.

That's the problem with this drama.
Everything which took place in the reborn experience does not matter at all.
In fact, there is no hint that it actually took place - it could just be a dream.
That's why people are frustrated that we have wasted 14 hours watching something irrelevant. Plus all the questions which cannot be answered, and the ridiculous recovery without a scratch after shot in the head, fell off a cliff and coma for a week.

Unsatisfying for me because the ending makes the event in Ep 2 to 15 irrelevant.
There was no point, all the DJ's brilliant decisions because of his knowledge of the future did not really happen at all.

Wow ! This would make us forgive and forget the ending?
NO !

So it was just a dream?
All the events during the "reborn" didn't actually happen?
That makes the whole experience pointless other than entertainment for the audience.
No, I don't get this at all..

Damn, how old are you? LOL
Can't get more childish than that.
I made no attempts to "win an argument" with you.
Just wanted to point out what you said and this drama made no sense.

But ultimately, was everything just in his head? Nothing actually happened or changed?
That's the problem. So Ep 2 to 15 were just for our entertainment?

You still haven't make any points showing how the reborn experience has any relevance to the present time.
The whole ep 2 to 15 did not make any difference at all.
That's why most are not happy about the ending. I'm not alone.

No, he was the original accomplice to DJ's murder all along. How could he have the audio recording if that's not how DJ died originally?
And you don't need that reborn thing to change him.
Being shot in the head and fall off a cliff is a big enough "life changing" experience. That alone would change your values, your thinking, your loyalties, and your desire to revenge.
The fault is that they did not give any evidence that the reborn thing actually took place and changed the real time line. And that reborn thing did not provide HW with any critical weapon to use in Ep 16. That's why the whole Ep 2 to 15 is of little relevance to the ending.

Not sure why you keep repeating this.
Yes he was poor, and he was young. But he is now 20 years older. He did not need that "reborn" thing to make him do what he did in Ep 16.

The way the writer decided to explain the reborn thing, I don't think extra episodes would have made any difference.
They basically have to rewrite the ending, and how to tie in the experience in Ep 2 to Ep 15 to the present timeline.

No, their lives have no effect on each other.
Basically, Ep 2 to 15 has no relevance to Ep 1 and 16. We don't even know if the whole reborn experience is real or just a dream in his coma!

You are not the only one who is confused.
Everyone of us is confused.
And no, there are no answers to your questions, and tons of other questions.
The whole thing is a mess which makes little sense at all.

For financial crimes, they usually just go after the most responsible, the one who stand to gain the most from the crime.
Murder is different, anyone involved would get prosecuted.

He did not need the Ep 2 to Ep 15 experience to do this.
He has the ultimate weapon - the audio recording.
He probably would have wanted to revenge when they tried to murder him.
So no, he did not need to be "smarter" after the "reborn" experience.
He would have made the audio recording public to protect himself and get revenge anyways. That's why Ep 2 to Ep 15 is so irrelevant.

Unfortunately, the whole concept is so ridiculous that any explanation is futile despite your best effort.
Ep 16 just resumed where Ep 1 left off, so Ep 2 to Ep 15 did not change anything, except YHY's experience (or dream?). That's what make the whole thing so unsatisfying, with that 14 hours of drama for nothing.

Unfortunately, there are many questions unanswered.
Did the reborn experience really reflect what happened 20 years ago?
It couldn't be, as DJ did not have the future knowledge at that time.
And the reborn DJ managed to change his grandfather's fate to avoid the plane crash - or did it happen to the real DJ and real grandfather?
So was the whole reborn thing a made up story in YHY's head?
Basically, Ep 2 to 15 has no relevance to Ep 1 and 16 - that's the sad part.

Unfortunately, the way they are trying to explain the reborn experience do not make sense at all. So no matter when DJ is killed, the whole thing just doesn't matter to the present time line.

That's a separate crime. But an accomplice should have legal consequence.

I don't care if he goes to prison or not. There was no justice as you claimed when a murder accomplice did not face any consequence.
What's even more shocking was SMY's non-reaction.
An accomplice to her boyfriend's murder, someone who hid the audio recording for 20 years, the 20 years she spent trying to get justice, and she is totally ok with that, and don't hate him one bit? That's unbelievable.

It's not relevant. He could have accomplished the same thing without Ep 2 to Ep 15.
The key was the audio recording. Once that is made public, Soonyang family would fall regardless.
The Miracle part in the end does not make sense as well. How could Mr Oh trust a random stranger, who don't even have a college or university degree?
