Okay, this is a dicey opinion with room for nuance. The first criticism of hit jTBC drama Reborn Rich (The Chaebol’s Youngest Son) is here, and of course there will be negativity that accompanies anything that is trending, A reporter wrote about Song Joong Ki having excessive camera filters in Reborn Rich playing the 20-something college student era of his reborn character. K-netizens are split about that because it’s clear there are filters but Song Joong Ki is 38 years old and from the drama he’s going to run the entire age spectrum from 20’s to 30’s so it’s reasonable to soften the lines for the 20’s era scenes. Plus the filter was used for the scenes starting with Kim Kang Hoon as the child version since it’s all “period scenes” until the drama catches up to the present. The reporter drew ire for additionally mentioning the rumor that a star in Vincenzo wrote into the contract the requirement for camera filters and the rumor that it was Song Joong Ki. I’m all about how natural it looks, I don’t mind filters at all as long as it’s not distracting and ridiculous, if the star needs to look a wee bit better with the help why not, magazine photos are touched up each and every one so onscreen is no different. So my verdict is “okay!” for Reborn Rich because it’s not distracting and we know Song Joong Ki is playing a role within a role and we’re all just waiting for him to grow up and TAKE THE WHOLE FAMILY DOWN!

I think there are so many negative articles are coming up from the time reborn rich starts rising, which are making no sense. If audience look at all this they will understand all these are senseless.
It's a lot of fuss over nothing. He has to cover a lot of years so there is a legitimate reason for a filter now that he is playing a 20yo.
For the record, I hate filters to make people younger because there is nothing wrong with aging. It's a natural process. They are abused too often. But he isn't playing someone around his own age now and it is a huge age gap. Netizens are creating problems where there are none.
Lol... alot of drama is using filters. Especially light heart drama.
Some netizen grumble too much...they are just bored..
Ehh... I think it's okay because it's not necessarily for aesthetic purposes but more like for plot credibility (is that the word? sorry, not a native english speaker), I mean, it literally wouldn't make sense if he has wrinkles and stuff if he's playing a 20 year old lol
Reminds of that movie of So Jisub and Son Yejin where filters were used so they can play their characters as 22 year olds. It's understandable in cases where actors in their 30s play much younger versions of their characters. I don't get the fuss when filters in dramas are so common these days even when actors are playing characters in their similar age range as in real life.
For ne it's ok. He played his roll gorgeously, perfect and amazing! Go go go SJK. We, your fans are here for you(with you) no matter what! We love you unconditionally❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Exactly! Can't we just be happy that we get to see him again. He is gorgeous in and out and no filter is going to make me feel different.
I don't really mind it, perhaps they don't have young actor that resemble him for the younger counterparts cause I think they fools no one.
He is still the Hallyu Top Star Actor Song Joong Ki. His acting and his aesthetics are always top notch. Lol, never mind the filter words!
LOL those reporters need to chill.
