Noticed that Hwang Jun Hyeon had signed from SOONYANG to CHOISEONG FC. Was this deliberate? Given the other "Reborn" drama was "Reborn Rich" and the group name there was SOONYANG!!!!!
P.S: Just starting this drama - cause it's complete and I can binge at pleasure and watch my beloved Lee Jun Young, before he soon departs for his military duties.
Cheap thrills which I thoroughly enjoyed. Loved the concept. Finished 99% of it. 8.5 for me, I think!
Cheap Thrills - that's a right phrase to sum it up tbh. And also reminds me of SIA's song. Thank you for reading the review and glad you enjoyed it as well :)
2. Grandpa Chail was acting!!! LOL (looks like he's going to give Mun-do one below the belt too, I was sus why would he bring his son back to Korea - when he could be safe in US. Someone as cunning as Mun-do why would he reveal his weakness, especially when he knows that he too can't trust anyone. A little too easy to make the plot progress)
3. DAMN MUN-DO! I am loving JANG SEUNG JO as a villain. He had a streak of it in his Death's Game character. But he was super sexy there. And even sexier here. I mean I loathe him as a villain but he does it so well that I can't help but be enraptured by him. I have only otherwise seen him in cute/good roles. This is so refreshing. He should be cast more often as a villain - he is super handsome, magnetic aura in every role!
Can't believe it comes to an end this week - it was entertaining! I will miss this show and characters ❤️
1. Nothing has been mentioned so far. Or I don't remember it.2. In the Ep. 12 you will know what happened to Se…
Thank you, so much.
1. While I feel there is going to be none, but hoping for a redemption arc for Mun-do. Not redemption per se maybe realization. I feel he might have done something to the wife, or she left him when she saw his obsession with Chail. I hope he spends time with his son and lets go of his unhealthy obsession.
2. Okay - will continue watching then.
I was just not certain whether they have shown and I have forgotten, or not shown at all.
I am catching up and starting Ep 10. Just wanted to know from those who have watched the latest episode:
1. Has there been a mention of Mun-do's wife? His son is mentioned and I guess will be shown in Ep 10-11, but what happened to his wife, will that be revealed?
2. I can't recall if they have shared what happened to Se-Gye's parents? Like I think there was an accident but did that take away the lives of both or just his father? And why does the grandfather or entire family dislike his actress mother. Mun-do teases that just like his father Se Gye is also throwing away his life behind an actress. I have a feeling there could be more to the "accident" story. Pretty common where power dynamics are shifting and everyone's vying for it.
The doctor has a bit more prominent role in the drama Connection, a pretty decent crime thriller headed by Jisung.…
Oh yes, I had started that drama cause of my love for Jisung - he's such an amazing actor. And yes bonus was seeing JJK as well. It's still on my PTW cause I was watching some heavy-themed show b2b - but will watch it soon once finished with these light rom-coms like Royal Nemesis.
Hot Men of this Drama - the protagonist, the antagonist and the DOCTOR!!! ❤️
Okay, I knew and loved the fact that leading men in this drama were "Heo Nam Jun" and "Jang Seung Jo". HNJ is simply irresistable with his scenes - cute, sexy and handsome. JSJ - he appears cold here, but I know him from his previous works (just like HNJ) and he's charasmatic and magnetic here as well (even as an antagonist, or rather more so cause he's one). I knew about them from the trailer too - and was already in the Delulu mode when starting this drama.
What I did not expect - how much I will be looking forward to "Jung Jae Kwang as Sunwoo Jeong Hyeon (Se Gye's Doctor Friend)". I have seen him only in Trauma Code, Idol I and little bit in Worst of Evil. I think the roles of doctor and lawyer/prosecutor suit him extremely well. He's not doing much but still I want more of him. He's really attractive - why, I can't figure out - its a mix of his screen presence, his face and voice - and ofc the fact that I know that he's really good in every role he's played so far.
I love how HNJ has got a male lead role - in a romantic setup. JSJ has also done it. Now waiting for JJK to get one ❤️
The message is so sweet - waiting for his return in 2028. He's one of my favorite actors and the moment he turned 30 I was (slightly) dreading this news. It's not new for our beloved K-actors but still. I am glad we have his projects to watch and rewatch in his absence. I am sure many exciting things are waiting post his return - he's such a talented artist!
Is this NJH's first project after military? I had commented a while back that I miss seeing him on-screen. Excited for this, the poster is really interesting. I just hope it's not like Bride of Habaek (I personally did not like that drama, and I think the only one where I have seen NJH in a historical/saguek role).

Just please do away with the sorry ponytail of Jung Jae Kwang 😅

Looks like Se Gye is friends with Kang Tae Moo! 😜
