[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 16

 Yes, I skipped commenting on the last few episodes because I was too into the story.

Episode 15 ended with the biggest cliffhanger yet and I don't know what to make of it.  Less than 1 minute into this final episode and I am laughing because I think I know what might be happening.  I'm probably wrong but it could explain Do Jun's current location.  This does not look good for him again but with any luck, he'll figure a way out of whatever situation he's in!

Well damn.  I wasn't expecting this to twist all the way back.  This episode is just under 90 minutes so there's still some time to explain everything.


Finally done with this one and yes.  Yes, the ending wasn't great.  Still worth watching though.


[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 13

 Last episode had a lot of really good twists but did not have the impactful cliffhanger from the previous 2.

Just about halfway into this episode now.  There's a part where I thought something was going to happen and when it didn't, of course I figured it's part of Do Jun's plan but next scene tells me, it clearly was not and now he is stumped about why things went down one way when the chairman had said it was going to go the opposite way... Hmm...

Hold up.  I'm confused again.  I can't tell if they went back a few hours or days prior to the present time or if it is present time and something else has happened.

Not even 10 minutes into this episode and yet again there's a situation where it's clear that Do Jun has gotten screwed over.  Was that part of his plan or is he going to be able to fix this on his feet?

Well, well, well...If I'm understanding things correctly, the leaker has been revealed.  

Now it looks like Do Jun is out in the cold.  The siblings think he's no match for them.  I wouldn't relax just yet.

[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 12

 There are 5 more episodes left, including this one.  I should be done either tonight or tomorrow morning.

I'm a little concerned about the end of this drama.  I read there are a lot of people who didn't care for the ending.  One comment said they should have kept the same ending as the webtoon.  I was planning to read the webtoon after I'm done with the drama anyway so I guess I'll come back here after I see for myself.  I'm planning to read it, but I may not have a chance to.  I have limited free time but I'll do my best.

Nearly 6 minutes in and while everything starts out kinda normal, it soon becomes apparent that chairman Jin Yang Cheol is definitely not well.

Just under 10 minutes later, a bombshell.  As before, just when it seems Do Jun to have outsmarted someone yet again, he finds out someone screwed him over.  He's got that surprised expression on his face when he figures it out but...was he really screwed over OR did he plan for that to happen so he could execute the rest of his plan???

A minute and change later...OMG!  Was expecting this but not really since it didn't seem like it was going to happen after the end of ep 11 and the start of this one!  

So all of it, after the ending of ep 10 was a plan.  I wonder who it was that they didn't trust that they had to detour?  The doctor?  Who else knew?  I don't really remember seeing anyone suspicious though.  I'm sure they'll explain what happened.

So, while I was waiting for that explanation, I realized that what I thought was part of the plan, was not part of the plan.  The "chairman's oldest grandson" just threw a little grenade into the mix and it looks like something is about to fall apart.

Wow.  Things are not looking good after that grenade landed.  Do Jun finds a way out and then, in the elevator... oops.  Do Jun was reborn and he had a mission once he realized what was going on.  I'm sure he hated all his "family" members including his grandfather, the chairman.  But in the elevator scene, it feels like he's come to actually care about his grandfather or maybe he's just a sweet human and feels badly for his grandfather?

Almost 1/2 way done with this episode and it's been one surprise after another!  Great, great show!

[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 11

Five minutes in...
I'm so confused by the beginning of this episode.  From the end of 10 to the start of 11, there is no explanation (yet) of what happened after the end of 10.  There is no hint of how much time lapsed between end of 10 and start of 11.  It doesn't seem like it was that long because of the conversations and everyone looks okay so I'm just very confused atm.

Three more minutes in...
Okay, now it makes sense lol.  They went back a little bit on that day that will eventually lead up to the end of ep 10 and I suppose the rest of ep 11 will be the aftermath.

Four more minutes in...
One of people in that family planned what happened.  Of course, I'm terrible at figuring things out so I don't know who the culprit is.  I have a feeling about what might happen in this episode.

Three more minutes in...
I'm confused yet again lol

Another minute in...
I suspected I knew who Do Jun was talking about but then I realized no, he's talking about someone else.  That was confirmed a few seconds later.  I am DYING to know what happened!!!

Three more minutes in (18:23)
Oooo... 

2 1/2 more minutes in... (2003_
Wait a minute... What???

Done.  OMG this episode was another emotional rollercoaster and I cannot wait to watch the rest on Sunday!!!

[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 10

 This episode had me on the edge of my seat.  Last episode's cliffhanger was really good.  The outcome was a bit meh for me.  The cliffhanger made it seems like it was going to go one way but it did not.  

Once again, just when it seemed like Do Jun had been sidelined by one of his family members, he came out on top yet again in a big way. 

The cliffhanger ending here made my jaw drop.  I'm pretty sure I know what happened since there are about 5 more episodes left.  It left me saying "OH....SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHIT!!!"

About to start 11 now!

[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 09

 I keep forgetting to come here and say a few words about each episode.  It's just so damn good I watch 2 episodes and then start to watch something (non Asian) else to catch up on my American shows.

Do Jun has been playing his family on a level his grandfather didn't even know existed.  Of course he has the advantage of knowing what is going to happen but he still needs to think of a way to use that info to manipulate his targets.

So far, every episode is a combination of Do Jun making something happen and then make it look like one or more of the family members have figured out a way to one up him but have they really?  Even in this episode when Do Jun has played his aunt and she finds out and plays him back, has she really?  Even when she is gloating?

I'm up to the part where she asked her SIL how she was able to come up with her plan to save her from what she has figured out, was Do Jun's plan to get her shares of her department store.  I already have the feeling that though that plan may have taken the wind out of the prosecutor's (Min Yeong) sails, I feel like Do Jun expected something and clued in Min Yeong and they have planned a counter attack.  So far, Do Jun has had an answer for every play that's crossed his path whether it was planned or figured out in a hurry!
