SBS drama "Phoenix 2020" foresees the classic line "Do you smell something burning?" and revives for the first time in 16 years.

The new SBS morning drama "Phoenix 2020" is a drama about a rich woman and a poor man who married only for love and got divorced, and about what happens when they meet again after their economic situation has been completely reversed.

It is a remake of the infamous 2004 drama "Phoenix" and even before the broadcast, there has been keen interest in the return of the masterpiece that will stimulate viewers' nostalgia. In particular, the original "Phoenix" line is so famous that it is still spoken by many people 16 years later, and we took another look at the famous line at that time.

The most famous line goes, "Don't you smell something burning? My heart is burning". It is no exaggeration to say that Jeong-min (Eric Mun), who went straight without hiding his love for Ji-eun (the late Lee Eun-joo), shook the Republic of Korea with his lines that were intact. Sixteen years later, it still causes an all-time syndrome that reminds viewers of "Phoenix" of this line.

Another famous line is "This woman is God to me". In the drama, Jeong-min declared war on his father, who insulted Ji-eun, saying, "No one can touch this woman". It is a line that reveals Jeong-min's character that he won't even forgive his parents if it is related to Ji-eun.

Another famous line from the drama "Do you know why the Korean War broke out? Because we were off guard". It's a line Jeong-min used on Ji-eun to kiss her while her ex-husband Se-hoon (Lee Seo-jin) witnessed it, further burning the love triangle. It proved its amazing influence by being parodied in various entertainment programs or gaining fame for its cute pranks between lovers.

With the "Phoenix" lines being loved so far, attention is already being paid to whether the "Phoenix 2020" will have better-than-expected lines. In response, writer Lee Yoo-jin-V, who was in charge of writing "Phoenix 2020" said in an earlier written interview, "We are writing along the character's emotional lines", which makes viewers look forward to the birth of new famous lines.
