Reborn (2020)

Great crime drama

The Reborn is an excellent quality Chinese crime drama. The show has one main crime case as the main plot, but also side stories with smaller cases are interesting on their own. The acting is serious and minimal compared to many dramas I watch, which I enjoyed a lot. There are some great, multidimensional characters and some nice character growth.

There are some issues with the pacing, but the series also requires careful watching - not everything about the cases is spelled out loud. I personally like this style as it gives the viewer the credit of being smart enough to understand the hints, but for some it might seem like things are left hanging in the air.

The series has gorgeous cinematography. The music didn't really stay with me, and there are some audio issues, but less bad dubbing than I often find in Chinese series. The rewatch value really depends on how much you want to catch all the nuances about the side cases. The series is a bit slow and serious, almost sad, so it's not a huge thrill to rewatch. But the quality is there.

Yaaa, let them all die, all of them on both sides! Let them be "heroes" who abandon their loved ones, their wives, children, parents...AND DIE... for the sake of that war against each other! Let them abandon wives, children, and parent who suffer and are the victims of this kind of heroism. That's the only thing men can do, sacrifice EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY, including their own lives for the sake of so-called justice. How is it justice??? Justice for who and what? Each side, the army of gangsters and the army of police is not better than the other! Both solve the problems with deaths. Even though there are millions of ways to solve the problem, DYING is what they chose and what matters for "heroes" in the men's world. Not love, nor family, no children, or those who love them, those who are left with scars till the last days of their lives. This is so-called heroism. They have nothing left as this so-called heroism because MEN NEVER ARE ABLE TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEM WITHOUT KILLING EACH OTHER or abandoning their loved ones in the name of justice!!!! HEROISM IS TO LIVE EVERYDAY LIFE!! They are all men who we NEED to live and love and show the children the meaning of love and life not hate and death!!!
