Get-to-know-each-other bickering. Emotional version. > Reborn Rich (2022) ep. 04

[leedongwook]

“What’s this? This is a look I’ve never seen on your face. I can’t believe that’s her face when she was 20. Do you know her? Did you meet her? When? What? In 20 years time.”

Reborn Rich 재벌집 막내아들  // Episode 3

[undisclosedmemoirs]

Do Joon, you are telling me you actually:

1. Spent a whole damn year going to a café everyday in order to go see a girl;

2. Teased her in the end when she confronted you about it;

3. GOT HER NUMBER WITHOUT EVENT ASKING (big deal in the 90's folks)

4. Stood her up and then proceeded to reject her;

5. Rejected another woman who was coming at you at full force (snake with an irresistible proposition) and;

6. Decided it was a good night to re-visit the café the girl worked in but turns out she quit, so no point going back anymore, probably won't see her ever again...

OH WAIT, YOU HAVE HER NUMBER. WANNA SEE HER? CALL HER YOU IDIOT! GIVE MY GIRL SOME SCREEN TIME SHE IS THE FL FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. It does not have to be romance, but please give her some sort of role in this. It's ep. 7 and still nothing relevant.

I am so glad the new kdramas are bringing back the specific brand of loser men. You know which brand I'm talking about. The Ahn "min min" Minhyuk brand of loser men and I'm loving it. The "I worship this goddess and I'm so in love with her and I can't believe I get to love her. Oh my gods I love her so much" brand of loser men. And we're being fed so well with lovely runner, love next door, no gain no love, my demon, Cinderella at 2am, Hierarchy, Midnight Romance in Hagwon, doctor slump, Queen of tears, welcome to samdal-ri and even good partner (yes it's one sided but the dedication and yuri's couple too).

We need more fictional loser men who worship women to satiate our eldest independent daughter desires.

The Frog

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

The Frog (2024, South Korea)

Director: Mo Wan Il

Writer: Son Ho Young

Mini-review:

Wow, I didn't think I would enjoy The Frog so much. I guess I was in the mood for a dark, propulsive thriller. I've seen some people say it's 'slow', but like... where? This kept me glued to the screen from the very first episode, and it got more and more intense throughout the next ones. It even ventures into psychological horror territory from time to time, which made it even more fun to me. The writing isn't perfect (some of the characters aren't as well developed as they should), but the directing and the acting more than make up for it. Go Min Si turns in a particularly strong performance, and it's clear she gave it her all. I'm not gonna say this is the best thriller k-drama I've seen, but it was definitely enjoyable as hell.

Reborn Rich ending

I WAS SO CONFUSED. WHAT. THE. HELL. MY BRAIN WAS A MESS 10 MINS IN.

Spoilers ahead

Oh but i am satisfied with it. Other than the fact the Hyun Woo and Do Jun have the same face I think they wraped it up well albeit it being a bit rushed in my opinion.

The whole body switch thing.... I will not question it because i think it was somewhat explained. It was guilt and repentance. For what both of them did to eachother, in a sense. DJ's secretary having a meltdown after all that trauma broke my heart but also left me confused because of the whole "they have the same face issue". Again, I will not question that part and stay with the notion that they had different appearences, but they could have show that to the viewers like they did in Moon Lovers for instance right at the begining of the show, or in some other smart way, idk.

I always suspected Young Ki, ever since his mother ordered the first accident. I thought he would definitely try to use that to get DJ out out of the way, and indeed he did unfortunately. What I did not see coming was him using his own son as a shield and making it seem like it was him all along, leaving Sung Jun no other choice but to give up his management rights. Smart move but it makes me wonder if he did that because Sung Jun confronted him or if he was always planning to use his son to get away with something like this when the time came. Sad to think that instead of learning not to do to his son what his father did to him, he just went and copied entirely. Which is what he was programmed to do his whole life: learn what his father did and how he did it to succeed the company.

I am mad that he died painlessly in a hospital bed tho. That is in no way the punishment he deserved after ordering someone's murder and living like a freaking king for 20 years thanks to it. Also, the rest of the family members just stepping down like that felt rushed, but i guess after having two of the familly members being prosecuted for murder and attempted murder (one of them dies in the meantime) they didn't really have a choice. Let's leave it at that.

I am glad we finally got Seo Min Young with a bit more of a central role in this episode. I do wish we at least got that more in the last few episodes but it is what it is. In the end she is alone, but i am happy that she got the answers she needed and can finally stop mourning and start living. Who knows, maybe in the future she and HW can be a thing and be happy together but that was not the point of the show.

As for HW. Finally he can live like a human being and work at the very same company he created as DJ, doing what he loves. Everything comes full circle. I found it odd that he was not charged with being an accomplice to murder, but maybe it could be proved that he had no idea he was there for that. I will also let that pass because I like seeing my man happy.

A big thank you to the wardrobe department finally giving Song Joong Ki some fitted clothes because holy shit did he look like a whole five course meal this episode.

I am happy with this ending and it really is in my top 10 kdrama list. The fact that they used business, finance and korean history (as well as world history) to tell this story is fascinating to me because they made it in a way that would captivate us viewers even if most of us would likely not understand what was going on in those bits. They kept it simple and interesting enough to keep us coming for more and could it easily have been boring if it was not welll done.

Song Joong Ki truly never misses and the man acted his ass off for this, take a bow sir. All the actors were fenomenal and it was a pleasure to watch them give life to each of their characters as well. However, in all honesty, the top actor spot for this drama is Lee Sung Min. The aura that man gave off and his whole performance is something else entirely and I am glad I got to witness it.

Okay, we need to go home quickly... *whispers* and spend a steamy night together.

Business Proposal

[ppeonppeonhan]

Korean GLs I'd Watch...

Let's try to manifest a world where some of the biggest Korean actresses were cast in major full-length GL kdramas.

COP + CRIMINAL

Esom (Because This Is My First Life) and Lee Da-hee (Search: WWW) play partners and besties, who both fall for their respective suspects for a crime spree against the patriarchy. (Think: Evening the pay gap at a major company; exposing scandals of sexist politicians; and chemically castrating sex offenders). Esom's love interest is Park Eun-bin (Extraordinary Attorney Woo), and Da-hee's love interest is Seo Yea-ji (It's Okay to Not Be Okay). It's a romantic crime thriller.

FRIENDS to LOVERS

Seol In-ah (Business Proposal) plays a new-money rich girl who hires a former old-money rich girl, played by Yoo In-na (Touch Your Heart), to be her personal assistant out of pity, but pretends she doesn't know her backstory. And Yoo helps Seol navigate rich society. Their conflict is that Seol's family bankrupted Yoo's family, and is getting the life Yoo was supposed to have, including the fiancee, the job, and the house. It's a sweet romantic comedy.

BOSS + EMPLOYEE

Kim Ji-won (Fight My Way) starts a job at a family law firm and works hard to get one of the partners, played by Son Ye-jin (Crash Landing on You), to be her mentor, but only because she wants her job. She starts off as a frenemie before Ye-Jin's hard edges rub off, and Ji-won develops a crush. Their obstacles are that Ye-Jin is married and in the closet, and Ji-won might be too ambitious to let go of her goals. It's a slow-burn romantic legal drama.

COOL GIRL + DORK

Park Shin-hye (Heirs & Pinocchio) plays a cold fashion house designer who hires an unlikely candidate to be her muse, played by Moon Ga-young (True Beauty). And what starts off as a toxic relationship blooms into a supportive one. Park Bo-young (Strong Girl Bong-soon) plays her head of design, who befriends Ga-young's bestie-turned-manager, played by Kim Seul-gi (Oh My Ghostess). They're the softer side couple. It's a romantic workplace dramedy.

FRIENDS to ENEMIES to LOVERS

Seo Hyun-jin (Why Her?) and Gong Hyo-jin (When the Camellia Blooms) were friends in college, but they had a falling out after a misunderstanding about a guy. They have a tense reunion as adults when Hyo-jin is setting up her nuptials at the wedding hall Hyun-jin manages. It's a slowburn romantic drama.

ONE-SIDED OBSESSION

Shin Min-a (Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha) plays the wife of a very powerful and abusive man and Hwang Jung-eum (She Was Pretty) plays the maid who is secretly in love with her and helps her escape. They go to Jung-eum's hometown where everyone assumes she's bringing her girlfriend home for the first time, because she didn't have the heart to tell them she got dumped after running away to be with her. Min-a decides to pretend to be the woman to pay her back, and they fall in love. The conflict being when Jung-eum's ex, played by Park Min-young (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim), returns to get her back.
