Rimembeo: Adeul-ui Jeonjaeng

Even a 2 year old doesn't fall for such stupid plot lines 😭😭

I only have three words for this KDrama, Nam Gyu-Man!!!! If there was an award for best villain in a KDrama i would award him THRICE because he DELIVERED. The story revolves around a boy who tries to get justice for his father who was wrongly framed for murder and a chaebol's son who thinks the world is at his feet. It is honestly one of the best KDramas I have watched as it evokes so many emotions at once.

Everyone did their job well, but I really loved the villain. I found myself rooting for him even in times I know I should not have been rooting for him. His character was really well done and it came out so naturally and this was the best part for me. This KDrama shows how far some rich people would go just to cover their wrong deeds. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

The good points of this show outweigh some flaws.

This is a revenge melodrama about a son trying to exonerate his wrongly accused father of murder. There are some exciting court battles, lots of corruption and the best makjang male villain played perfectly by Namgoong Min. He provides the much needed laugh out loud black comedy as he plays the worst chaebol son you can imagine. Rapist murderer & drug addict you name it, he's it.

Flaws: 20 episodes was too much. 16 would have eliminated some repetitive scenes of angst and flashbacks. Although things do move along with some nice twists and cliff hangers that keep you tuned in, much could have been edited out. Also there wasn't enough romance between the cute leads. Park Min Young is suited to her role since she acts serious roles even better than rom com. Yoo Seong Ho is quite good as the man with a photographic memory although he has some tiresomely repetitive scenes. The conflicted lawyer played by Park Sung Woong is an interesting character.

The trope of the underdog family being crushed by the son of a wealthy chaebol son, whilst the underdog son seeks revenge - Yes, but with such a different twist.

A father accused of murder while he is suffering from Alzheimers, is defended by his attorney son who has Hyperthymesia syndrome (an ability to remember life experiences and items of his surroundings in precise detail.

The character development of the main leads stands out in the KSeries. Well done to the the scriptwriters!

The acting of Namgoong Min and Yoo Seung-Ho just excellent.

The ending was phenomenal, whilst heartbreaking it was reality. Although justice was achieved the final touch was so real it was heartbreaking.

Supporting Brilliant Acting right across the board.

Watched in Audio Korean and English subtitles.

Min Namkoong is fenomenal in this. He is the main star of the show. His ability to play the extremely disturbed and insane Nam Gyu Man is out of bounds. High praise for his acting skills.

I hope he'll show more of his skills in other projects.

About the show/story: This show once again shows the extreme differences between the "upper" and "lower" class. Money buys everything, and money thinks it is above the law, even the law itself.

The show was highly frustrating in that way.

It was a nice procedural law series with a somewhat satisfying outcome.

The loose ends are all tied up and you can help but feel a bit triumphant at the ending of show.
