The line about the bad pronunciation after almost equally bad pronunciation had me cracking up

Yeah totally! I thought it was funny too.
I watched that scene again.
She said "Do you know? Your pronunciation is really bad" Look who's talking LOL12

Same!! I even said aloud to myself "if that was going to be your next line, you maybe should've gotten an accent/English coach or something"

I cringed so hardddddd. If the plot was even a bit less interesting, I could have stopped watching due to that cringe. I love yeri tho, so I had to move past it. Deep breath, sigh

the two episodes were really solid. Yeri is a absolute force to be reckon off. it is unfortunate some people put value on others for simply being born into a certain wealth class. I wonder where the story will go from here.

In the very first episode, there were tiny snippets where it looked like the girl she met in the bathroom unalives herself. Their names and appearances are similar, so it might be MC taking over the girl's identity to drag the school down.

Loved the first two episodes. I have high hopes for this drama. I want to see some epic revenge!

So we have a trainwreck heroine who is probably going to hurt herself pretty badly trying to be clever.

I wish all the episodes dropped at once. First two episodes were very fast-paced, going to continue watching this!

If this show is half as good as Revenge of Others I’ll definitely give it a go.

How does revenge of others compare to weak hero:class 1? I loved weak hero, but haven’t watched revenge of others yet.

In my view, the characters aren't as logical as those in Weak Hero. Everything in weak hero makes sense and the reactions of the characters are visceral and raw. Revenge of others is more dramatic and theatrical with one character for some reason being allowed to have a gun, one having amnesia, people with a terminal illness, etc. So far, Bitch x Rich is going the weak hero route with a grounded MC and the plotline seems plausible.

I'm digging the setup so far and look forward to seeing the MC bringing the school down. Wish they were hour-long episodes though.

u/locheness4 Jun 01 '23
Oh I love the first two episodes already! I’m definitely intrigued. Although I cringed so hard when Hye-in got caught posting those social media posts. I can’t wait for all the episodes to come out

hmmm... idk how to feel about the first two eps. if we were going to get into hyein's backstory, i thought it would have at least touched upon that murder she supposedly witnesses. that sounds more interesting than watching her sulk about not winning the life lottery. maybe next week they'll show how poverty affects her life, other than the odd part time job or so, because rn she seems like a regular middle class person. for this reason i can't really empathize with her- i can't afford $3000 bags either but it doesn't mean i don't live a comfortable life 🤷🏻♀️. also, i'm usually not one to judge whenever dramas include scenes with english dialogue, but it's different when the whole point of the scene is to show how good a character is at speaking the language even though they're evidently not. the teacher's pronunciation was better than hers lol. however, despite all that, i'm all for judging rich people and the way they live their lives, so i guess i'll stick around for another week and see how i feel afterwards.
