REBORN RICH

It's quite interesting how this film turned out in the end, to be honest, I was waiting for what the author would do to get out of the past life mess they got into in the first place but kudos to them they got out of it quite well. Many reviews have been talking about how bad the ending is or how bad the story is because it's completely different from the webtoon. I don't read webtoons
and I don't really care about it that much either. I'm a movie critic, I don't care about the actors or the directors I just watch movies to feel good and give my honest opinions about them. Now let's get into the Review.

1. HIS PAST FAMILY - He went to see his family, their restaurant, and everything before his mother died. if he was that concerned about them knowing about their Money woes, Why didn't he just give some money to his former parents...everything would have been easy tbh. You have over 200mil dollars and you still want your past Dad to keep earning that little amount in his AHJIN MOTORS job? That's ridiculous to me. You can say he wasn't too attached to them because he has a new family now but it's not that easy because he basically grew up with them so I feel there would still be an ounce of affection towards them.

2. WHY HIM? - During the course of the movie, I was curious too as to why he, why Hyeon woo because he wasn't related to them in any way so why was he chosen to relive the past life of Do Jun. Well, in the end, we got to know he was at the crime scene so I guess it is because 1. he was the accomplice at the crime scene 2. he had no information about jin do jun. 3. he was another victim of their evil doings.

3. I sympathize with the Grandfather of Soonyang Fr. Watching your children and grandchildren doing wrongful deeds because of inheritance and even being scared for your life because they're trying to kill you is not a good sight one wishes to see.

4. THE ENDING - It was good everything was a dream cos I'd been thinking about how the author would get out of this. it was a nice way to make it seem like repentance. I loved it.

5. HIS LOVE LIFE - I love how his feelings were portrayed in this movie, very short and simple. Those complaining about his love life and how disconnected they felt watching him and the prosecutor are not to be judged either, I understand, But if you've never been in this kind of love you won't really know how it feels. I've been in that kind of love and that was exactly how it felt. It is love to them, the simple things, the little conversations, we all have different ways of expressing our love and that was their way. Besides, the drama isn't about their love life but the life of Do Jun.

As for the final nail in the coffin, the recorded conversation that ended everything. It's an absolute joke and I think it was disrespectful of the writers and authors to think we were fools. To think a flip phone in 2004 can automatically record a conversation as soon as a call was made was absolutely RIDICULOUS.

All in all, it was a very good drama with a good story and moments. like all other Korean dramas out there its ending was not good.

But is REBORN RICH worth the 8.5 rating...Absolutely.

PS: Don't mind my Rewatch value, I can't and I've never watched a movie twice. I'd rather sleep than do that.
