K-Drama Rants

Oh look isn’t it Mr ‘My feelings are not temporary’

[vincenzo-s]

Idk what possessed somin and wooshik to pick thr script of would you marry me but wow I dislike the writing so much so far. The cast is the saving grace 😭 just don't understand why they use these weak tropes so often

[vincenzo-s]

I fear once you start seeing the gendered themes and tropes in kdramas and media in general you really can't unsee them.

[vincenzo-s]

Afraid to say no male lead has come close to ki ho this year. He has set the bar too high everyone else please go home

[vincenzo-s]

The way both of eun bin's past two male leads have been the greenest of flags best male leads every written...and ofc eun bin herself such a queen.

[vincenzo-s]

My lovely liar waa on its way to become one of my fave shows of the year but my god the whole murder plot was done in such poor taste .... feels homophobic which sucks bc I rly did like the show a lot before episode 14 dropped.

[vincenzo-s]

I'm only on episode 3 so idk if it gets explained later but since I'm confused I will ask...in the first episode does the FL sleep with the drunk manager or something? Is that not uh ....wrong...?

[vincenzo-s]

Anyone got drama recommendations where the woman is the ceo or just rich etc...so tired of seeing the dame tropes in kdrama land why doesn't anyone want to do anything different 😭😔

[vincenzo-s]

Why aren't more people watching Moving?? Is it bc the marketing has been a$$ 😭 like people wanted good superhero shows movies etc SO WHERE IS THE HYPE MAN its sooooooo good seriously go watch moving 😭😭

[vincenzo-s]

The good bad mother rly is fcked up bc why does the mother keep forcing him into terrifying situations to help him ‘get better’? Idk what the writers were thinking but they chose the right title for the show at least lol.

[sosrantings]

When she threw him into the water to "help him walk again"☠️

[vincenzo-s]

Right and not giving him food to eat so he could learn to eat on his own? Ma’am your son just went through a traumatic experience😭

[vincenzo-s]

The good bad mother rly is fcked up bc why does the mother keep forcing him into terrifying situations to help him ‘get better’? Idk what the writers were thinking but they chose the right title for the show at least lol.

[vincenzo-s]

Crazy how duty after school had such a good plot but the execution was AWFUL so AWFUL

[vincenzo-s]

We r not fully there yet but so glad we r finally reaching the point where we no longer have shitty a** problematic male leads

[vincenzo-s]

Meh i still think the murder plot line is unnecessary in this show

I love the way Crash Course in Romance explored class in its 8th episode! It’s subtle enough to go almost unnoticed for now but the fact that Chi Yeol had to chose between the piano recital and the chicken party leaves no doubt that it’s written like that on purpose. Chi Yeol is the star of the academy, he’s super popular, crazy rich, and is expected to date people from a high rank like the pianist he went on a blind date with. It’s not like he enjoys this life, it literally makes him sick, but that’s just what is expected of him. To get closer to Haeng Seon, he has to ditch this lifestyle. I feel like this is what episode 8 was about, telling it mostly through food.

Haeng Seon’s food an obvious part of this. She’s a cook but she sells ordinary side dishes. When she sees Chi Yeol in front of the store, Sua’s mom even says she “expected him to have a more sophisticated palate” because it’s not fancy enough for rich people like them. So when he suggests having a party to the family, he invites them to a western gourmet restaurant. Very far from the party they had at home to celebrate Hae Yi’s perfect grade in math in the previous episode… The family feels awkward, out of place, in this fancy and cold restaurant. When Chi Yeol asks to have every course served at the same time, it feels like home again. They speak again, eat big bites of food and food goes from one plate to another. The table was so big for the four of them before, now it feels like it got smaller and they sit closer to each other.

Fancy food like the one from that restaurant or like the snacks gifted by the pianist are great, they make you feel good. It’s new, different, it’s expensive. You want to get it from time to time. But what fills you up is basic, familial food, like Haeng Seon’s. It’s what makes you healthy, what comforts you when you need it. It’s the food you share with your loved ones or those who need it. It’s the recipes you get from your mother. Chi Yeol thought he could only stomach Haeng Seon’s food but he ate without problem chicken she didn’t cook because it’s not just her cooking he needs but people to eat with. A family.

Choi chiyeol is so galaxy brained jdhsj like. He realises he has feelings for his student's mom and his immediate response to this is to go on a blind date. With another woman. SIR—

reasons why you should be watching reborn rich

1. song joong ki in all his glory - you want pathetic old man with glasses? check. you want adorable 20 year old college student? check. you want every shade of acting including comedy, romance, AND drama ? check check CHECK. man put his entire joongkiussy into this role.

2. historical drama disguised as a reincarnation fantasy drama disguised as a fuck capitalism drama disguised as succession but more kdrama-y - you have it all here folks we got a messy ass family fighting to become their dad’s heir and a badass female prosecutor who wants everyone jailed and a man switching bodies and going back in time like WHEW you won’t ever be bored

3. three YES THREE episodes a week - the writer said more crack cocaine for everyone yes sir 🫡

4. just like really good acting all over - they put up a sign in the jtbc lawn and said only bitches who can act are allowed here and everyone else was shown the door

5. a big ol’ mystery and plot that’ll have you looking like that one conspiracy theory meme (you know it) - what is better than having your brain cells firing at max speed while trying to piece together how exactly all this shit will go down?

in summary, you should be a cool kid and tune in for this craziness or just tune in to see joong ki being sexy. i won’t judge. you might also have to watch it ill3g@lly but again, the drama says FUCK THE RICH, so it’ll just be carrying out its message if you do 🤷🏻‍♀️

[captainjoongki]

reborn rich’s plot is just like “what if song joong ki was singlehandedly behind every big thing that happened in the late 90s?”
