K-actress Shin Hyun Bin is facing the opposite audience feedback of second female lead Park Ji Hyun in Reborn Rich which has increased as the drama ratings have gone up and heading into the finale. This may feel like been there-covered that old news but if you’re in South Korea it’s legit a major commentary volume on any RR thread and apparently on water cooler discussions. Park Ji Hyun as the bitchy power hungry daughter-in-law has the “bad person” character but is breaking out with her performance and interesting role similar in Han So Hee as the mistress in The World of the Married. Conversely the annoyance and frustration with Shin Hyun Bin in both her performance and her character in RR continues to garner negative feedback for her to the degree that K-ent critics think she will be negatively impacted by this drama despite it being the biggest hit of 2022. That’s really rare, usually everyone in a hit drama enjoys the groundswell of positive popularity so that’s why this situation is getting repeated coverage because it’s rarely ever happened and definitely not to a lead role. In episode 15, Song Joong Ki’s character asked to get back to Shin Hyun Bin’s character during a prosecutor interrogation and everyone was head desking at how random it was and how unfathomable it was that he liked her so much.
This drama already no.1 broke record the world of the married i am so happy for lee seung min and song joong ki set high rating 29-30%!for jtbc comeback aftef so many flop since 2020.
Nope! It did not. World of the Married still no. 1. Final episode only got
26.94% while WOTM got 28.37% in nationwide ratings . The 30% you mentioned is in Seoul ratings only. The top viewership ratings will be based in National and not in Seoul ☺️
Why mad at her,should be mad at the script writer,they wrote the story,poor her,she’s supposed to be the leading actress but her scene are so little she come off as the extra
yes agree.and i want to critic the one who make up her including her dress up and so on.look dull
Their loveline doesn’t bother me like I see it bothering so many others. It is what it is. I’m just enjoying yhe phenomenal performances by almost everybody in the cast amd the fact I haven’t gotten tired of it unlike many others. So did the grandma kill the original Do Jun?
She doesn’t have a lot to do and still managed to be bland during these scenes. She’s has no charisma/aura on screen.
This… I find it so weird that she has blown up career wise over the past 2 years. I hope she is shielded from actual hate though.
Park Ji Hyun is incredible and absolutely deserves to have the Han So Hee glow up. I think antagonists are genuinely more interestingly written these days because main leads tend to be uninteresting do gooders.
Exactly the same reaction as cnetz, lol. It’s funny to see knetz and cnetz share a brain on this topic. With every episode, there’s a bunch of complaint posts about the FL, everything from the acting, to her character being unhelpful (pulling the ML’s backleg), to people scratching their head about the romance.
Seriously speaking I don’t get the reason for the hate, she only had limited screen time, she isn’t special but not bad either, but how so? She has only limited lines and her character’s impact on plot is small to be either way.
I even feel she was being cheated by the writer and PD. She is supposed to be FL? Please stop the hate because it doesn’t make any sense
I have seen her in 5 projects now and my assessment is that she is very lackluster. She is not a bad actress but she just doesn’t shine bright when there are people around her with meatier roles or better presence. In Reflection of You, Goo Hyun Jung ran circles around her despite Shin Hyun Bin’s character being the victim. I was pissed with her there too. She needs to carefully pick her roles. I think her character in Hospital Playlist is the kind of role that allows her to be likable.
Go hyn jung is an iconic actress with 2 decades under her belt. Dramas like sandblast, queen sounded. You can’t even begin to compare the two . Of course she would act circles around her
Yes but there are quite a few actors/actresses who can shine despite acting with veteran colleagues. I believe that’s the point of the comment above. Looking at other highly-rated dramas like Reborn Rich, there’s Siwan in Misaeng, Kim Tae Ri in Mr. Sunshine, etc.. Even Park Ji Hyun scenes with Lee Sung Min and other older cast members was better. Shin Hyun Been just doesn’t have the on-screen charisma that others her age or younger do.
Is she? Plenty of people didn’t have a problem with her and she was consistently popular in Korea during this time.
A minority that is very loud shouldn’t be considered as relevant, especially as their screeching reached the levels of mentally ill people showing off their obsession.
I saw a lot of complaints that her acting here just feels like she’s playing Jang Gyeo-ul again and I have to agree. She got really lucky with that Hospital Playlist casting because dull and gloomy seems to be the full extent of her acting range.
The writing for the love line was an obvious problem but it doesn’t excuse the poor acting. She didn’t have much screen time but it’s impressive how she managed to sap all the life out of such an intense and interesting drama every time she appeared.
When the casting rumors were swirling I had been glad that she got the role over the initial pick. I fully admit my judgement was wrong. At least they would’ve brought some energy to the role.
Given the overwhelmingly negative feedback across all platforms, I hope she won’t get more female lead castings in the future. It’s not like she’s some A-list whose fans and star power can make up for their bad acting.
I haven’t gotten around to watching this because of exams but damn it takes A LOT for the female lead to be bashed this bad in such a popular show. dunno if its all the screenwriters or its mostly her acting, but I will say that joongki compliments his costars really well in everything so………😶
Bad script can be covered with great chemistry but they got none of it.
I don’t felt her chemistry with her co-star in Hospital Playlist too. I always skip her part
The drama itself was quite awesome and I enjoyed it but I won’t lie the finale was bitter to sollow.. Because why have Jun Do killed? It messed things up.. Jun do should have defeated them there and then in the year 2004 and not in 2024.. Almost a game of thronish ending for a great drama probably one of the best I have seen in recent memory
She was saddled with a ‘meh’ character profile and I was frustrated that so much time was spent on her love line scenes with Jin Do Jun….however once she was brought up to the current time speed, I think she held her own. Still, earlier scenes were very frustrating to endure.
Dating news of SJK just dropped. Reportedly dating a non celeb British woman and his agency confirmed he’s in a relationship. Happy for SJK. If his British gf is not of Korean descent, an even bigger surprise considering how rare it is for Korean A-list actors to date non Koreans. I expect more dating bombshells we head towards Jan 1st the biggest dating drop for Dispatch annually.
I went to the original Korean article and they didn’t use gyopo so I think she’s not Korean. It must be serious but I would cackle hard if Song Joong Ki just wanted to mess with Dispatch!
Go to mykoreandramaid IG. Also in the Tik Tok video of him with his British Indian GF in Bali was posted by a fan in Soompi. She is very pretty and elegant. Both invited to an Indian wedding in Bali. SJK was waving his finger no no to a person recording him and her but he didn’t seem too bothered. Lol. Happy for him. Congrats SJK. He looks happy.
Heehee, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are others being outed soon or just casually drop it before Dispatch does. Love is definitely in the air. Can’t wait for more announcements or breaking news.
She could very well be British and biracial….lots of biracial asians all over Europe and Britain. That would explain how they met through mutual friends and how she is able to be in Korea so much.
I wouldn’t say ‘lots’.
Which Europe? Because lots of Indians in UK yes but other Asians? No way. In the rest of Europe even less so.
frankly, the writers and Shin Hyun Bin was a catch 22 – they got heat for spending too little time on building a relationship that makes sense, but if they do spend time, people will complain that they want more Do Jun – Grandpa time. they needed her as the “normal” side of Do Jun’s life and setting up for the finale/ motivation to become SY’s Grim Reaper – I guess they could’ve should’ve made them just really good friends
First of all no chemistry between the leads. Secondly wardrobe etc made her look super dowdy. The hair style just didn’t work. Overall in a highly exciting drama she was an antithesis, boring. I fast forward because it was painful to watch her. Sorry.
Is the news Song Joongki dating a British woman true or not? If true, I’m kinda disappointed, not because of the dating, but the choice of woman.
It’s true… why would you be disappointed? The rumor is that she’s pregnant as well.
What? How xenophobic? What’s wrong with dating a foreign woman?
I feel more sorry for her as they haven’t been dating for long and she is allegedly already pregnant and moving in with him in Korea. It’s going to be a big cultural adjustment for her: moving to a country with a very different culture and starting a family immediately.
Why are people so quick to jump to ugly accusations? Maybe OP shipped him with another actress. Simmer down.
I am glad that he is dating, because he can do it and also because I think people will hate on song hye kyo more if she dated another people 1st.
It’s even better if he married again 1st so finally, he isn’t linked much with shk because he had moved on
Katy Louise Saunders. She was in a few hollywood movies. Pretty. Likely pregnant and shes got a HUGE ASS ROCK on her engagement finger at her airport vids entering korea with somg joong ki. Probably will announce marriage soon. I can hear the breaking of hearts for those vincenzo leads shippers

The writing for the character was admittedly terrible but it didn’t help that her acting and presence were so bland, she had negative chemistry with the male lead in the tedious, unconvincing “romance” and the character was just boring and irrelevant. It was like her character just sucked the energy out of the drama whenever she was onscreen.
Heehee, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are others being outed soon or just casually drop it before Dispatch does. Love is definitely in the air. Can’t wait for more announcements or breaking news.
It was the hair, wardrobe, and first impression of Hyun Bin that didn’t work for me. I’ve seen her in Reflection of you before, but she was easily forgettable that I forgot who she was until I saw Reborn Rich. Also, it doesn’t help that her character doesn’t have a significant impact to the storyline and she lacks charisma and screen presence with her dull impression. Initially, my first impression of the cousin in law was why they didn’t make her the FL instead?…
I loved her Jang Gyeoul character in Hospital Playlist. Still, that director is famous for excellent casting mainly because he looks for someone with a similar real-life personality, not outstanding acting skills. After HP and after watching all her projects post-HP I can say that she really lacks charisma and her acting skills are average.
Every time the scene switched to the prosecutor, the drama felt like a deflating balloon. I thought it was the writers fault, little screen time, over dramatics to a non-existent relationship (to the viewer), her massive conflict of interest that was hard to look past, etc. But I just looked up the actress to see if I watched her in something else and she was the FL in Warrior Baek Dong Soo, which I watched over 10 years ago and still consider to be the most energy sucking FL of any drama I’ve ever watched, until now. Wow.
Haha I have to agree with you. She was paired with Ji Chang Wook, Yoo Yeon Seok and Song Joong Ki. All have been known for always having excellent chemistry with their acting partners. It obviously was her problem not the writing problem. I remembered Yoo Yeon Seok’s character’s popularity was declined because of the romance with her in HP 2
Her role was limited and i don’t get why the writer put a love line . She could have been just a prosecutor . As for the actress , i don’t get why she was casted because even in Hospital Playlist she was bland .
I still cannot get over Shin Byun Bin’s worst ever performance in Warrior Baek… it was so bad I cannot watch her in anything after that. No expression, no chemistry no anything. Almost ruined the drama despite other good performances and interesting story line. I just don’t get it. How is she still in the industry.
