If you give Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen the phone book to read the consummate thespians would make it sound interesting. That’s the true test of an actor or actress, to rise above crap and still come out smelling like roses in a terribly written or filmed drama/movie. Such is the case for Born Again, the recently ended KBS Mon-Tues drama that is best described as a dumpster fire of everything wrong in writing a story. It’s so so SOOOOO bad I want to hear from fans tell me why it’s good because that’s such a fascinating point of view I need to read. I watched it all because it was so bad I couldn’t stop and each episode got worse and I couldn’t stop even more because I was flabbergasted this drama got green lit. LIKE, who thought this was a good idea. The reincarnation, the serial killing, the general WTF-ery in what all the characters did and said, the only thing worth my time was Jang Ki Yong and Lee Soo Hyuk and it was purely out of curiosity as to how they could say their dialogues with a straight face. Jin Se Yeon was actually not the worst part of this drama even by acting along, the serial killer ex-fiancee is like the worst actress EVER. If you’re in for a hoot check this out.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Lols, guys, as much as i loved the earlier episodes but trust me, never give this one a try. NEVER!!! I used to like it very much, but then it got terrible and horrible. The plot was weird.. not to mention those actresses' acting. Even tho i had no problem with JSY's acting, i mean, it was still acceptable, but the 2nd female lead was lmao.. i couldn't even describe it. I couldn't take her acting seriously.
The story was the problem. Duh, i feel so bad for the male leads.. they deserve better scripts with those appearances and acting skill.
I tried to continue but sigh... it was hard. And i was only up to ep 12. Lols.. i heard from my friends that it aint got better.
But it was good yar why you guys insulting people like that....?
If you think it's good, go ahead. It's not an insult, i just gave my review after watching 12 episodes. The fact is this drama is so ABSURD. if it wasnt then the rating would be 10% not 1%. Got it???
Giving honest opinion, even if it’s different from your own, is not insulting, yaar. It’s called “ post your comment”. You didn’t know, ji?
The fact that a crazy person can use laptop to write another novel(?), It is amazingly stupid.
Not really where im from we have a musician who was convicted of multiple murder but he is still making and puting out music.
The overall idea was really good and the first 2 episodes got the viewer attention.. Actually the actors and actresses didn't do anything wrong. but their roles, conversations and events were constricting to their ability to show the character they were playing. The main problem was most of the seens where weird. Like when hyunbin remembered his past life and when hawan remembered her life. They expanded a little more in Jong bom character
hehehe
I praise you for even managing to brave through this trainwreck till whichever point you ended up with. It took me a bit of effort to actually watch this drama till the end and as much as the ending hadn't turned out as bad as I feared (I'm somewhat amazed that somehow Soohyuk's conclusion was actually good, bless LSY and the director who probably had contributed in at least make Soohyuk's plot bearable compared to the other leads. Cos I feel that it's only plots that revolve Soohyuk/Hyungbin that was the sanest. The rest was just crazy.), I still ended up running to the toilet going sick on the stomach at the ridiculous ending.
I'm actually surprised if anyone in their right mind would consider the ending as a 'really happy one'. As if that very last scene could ever be called 'happy'. Or good.
I STILL DON'T KNOW IF HE DIED OR NOT WHAT HAPPEND to JB after the surgery did he die or did he lose his memories?
He died. He in the bookstore was just Sabin's hallucination. Many of Jang Kiyoung seems cant accept this fact and kept saying he's alive.
he didn t die. he was in a coma.
I also wanted to know about the ending.. Is it really Jong Bom did the heart transplant to Sabin and the Jong Bom that Sabin see at the bookstore at the end of the episode was just the hallucinations? And her uncle and her colleague just agree with her that Jong Bom was still alive? Srysly??
Worst drama ever. IT started not bad but then the writer went crazy. They butchered the fl, turns her into such an egoistic, hypocrite, illogical and unloyal altogether. I want to b*tch slap her so hard. not even bother the mystery part, such a joke. The only thing good was LSH and i'll stick by him til the day he gets that HE he deserves.
You think she is the bad one for ending up with JKY's character and act like LSH is some kind of saint? He's already engaged in the "second life" so I don't understand this rage of yours..
he had his past life memories after engagement dude and he did cut off his engagement later...but even after knowing that JKY killed LSH how can she end up with him bruh
Really bad.... I mean, the ending which I did not even have the guts to watch was stupid and ridiculous, from what I read in the comments. I watched the show for the two male leads but I am sorry for both of the actors for choosing such a bad project. The female lead's choice is beyond comprehension. Do not recommend watching!!

I can't, for the life of me, understand what's the whole point of this drama? It just does not make any sense at all. I feel like I'm watching a drama that's on drugs due to how nonsensical the storyline and logic is. It's so sad that Jang Ki Yong and Lee Soo Hyuk had to waste their talent and time on this. Hope they have better offers after this one.
I can't be the only one laughing every time they show scenes of Jin Se Yeon talking, touching and staring lovingly at a freaking skeleton, right? Like wtf was that all about? I just can't. LOL
Lol. everyone just burst out. I take ur advice and dont try this one!
This was brilliant deep drama. Not for everyone.
I agree 100%
It was amazing. Great acting and it kept you guessing.
Bravo! Too bad it was above so many people.
Binge watch so you do not lose the continuity.
I agree....
agree. this drama is underrated but actually a good one.
So what's the end? She chose her fated love or her stalker?
Her stalker. the story went downhill after ep 10. Sabin is the worst character on the planet. The only thing keeps me to watch till the end is Lee Soo hyuk. I skipped all SB and JB scenes. I hope soo hyuk get better script next time
Her stalker ?
@Mel and Yeemoneric I guess stalkers won't loose hope! You can steal her private diary, put secretly an tracking app on her phone, meet her "by chance" and she will still love you!
NOOOO dont try to watch this.. I thought it was good but then confused and didnt make sense
Pls don't you ever try to watch this drama. I've been watching k-drama for almost 2 decades, but I found myself cursing over a drama for the first time! Oh, Gaaawd!!!
I simply have to concur with all the comments given. Bad storyline, poor acting skills, expressionless facial from lead actor..duh. Such a boring show!
All I can say is I’ve cursed over many a Kdramas. It’s like the writers or directors, or both just throw a crap load of complete nonsense in a show just to drag it on and on with no thought or care about what they’re doing. So unprofessional. Love my shows but really, they need to provide some better quality dramas. I’ve seen wonderful ones so I know it’s possible.
I 100% agree with Koala! It was so bad, I couldn’t stop watching just to find out how they would wrap up this shitty drama. LOL!
