Reborn Rich

I loved Song Joon Ki in Vincenzo and when I saw he was starring in this new drama, I wanted to see it. Each week, I had to wait for new episodes and it was really tough waiting because they were so good! I could rewatch this whole series again and probably like it even more the 2nd time around.

The fantasy part (a guy is shot and somehow is reborn about 20 years earlier as a grandson of the Chairman of a huge conglomerate in Korea) is just the kind of thing I love. These types of scenarios don't always work as well as I would like, but in this case it was handled just perfectly.

I am going to find out who wrote this script and look for more by this person.

Watched the whole series without missing any episodes, and all my stars basically go to the male actor Song Jung Ki who I enjoyed the most. Never saw him before, but he was the one that kept me watching as he played the intelligent handsome youngest grandson that was reincarnated and taking over the family's company. The script was interesting -enough to keep my interest but I just couldn't understand the last episode 100% and by this time, I just didn't want to rewatch it - maybe I lost something in the translation or maybe I just didn't understand it not sure. Enjoyed the series until then. Didn't really like the way the romance developed either with the prosecutor - thought maybe a different casting could have been used for her as didn't find that much of a match to be quite honest, thus that is why I gave it an 8 overall - the last episode and the development of the romance. My review is meant to be 100% positive for the male lead and stars removed for last episode (script).

Since ep 01, this drama kept me intrigued. So many amazing K actors with a strong brilliant storyline...quite a rare occasion for a drama lover. Everything was well till ep 15, as an audience I could feel the protagonist. But they ruined it completely. Never once did I imagine that ending would be so cliche and depressing. They didn't justify it at all. I feel betrayed tbh. And way disappointed rn. Nobody treats a story like this -_- Only giving it 7 stars for those 15 episodes....efforts and work of actors should be appreciated.

I hope this series gets to remake again with a different ending.

This would have been a 10/10 drama but the way it ended was just a complete lack of effort by the scriptwriter. It's as if the Game of Throne creators managed to get their hands on this script too.

You've got a great cast, such solid actors who were able to convey so much with every glance and action. The grandfather in particular was a force of nature. The premise of the show was fantastic, you could do so much with the plot! I'm sure everyone has asked themselves at some point, what they would do if they could go back in time to relive the past with their memories intact. So many possibilities, especially when one has the knowledge of what's to come! Yet the scriptwriter had to ruin everything with that ridiculous and lackluster ending that spat on everything that the earlier episodes had set up. Honestly they should be ashamed of themselves for that last episode.

The drama may be tagged as "fantasy" but the execution, the directing and the acting seem so real and believable. The fact that real sociopolitical events are interspersed with the story makes the drama more compelling.

Song Joong-ki once again chose a very good drama. Initially I was apprehensive that Reborn Rich may be similar to Vincenzo, his last drama prior to Reborn Rich where his character left an indelible mark on me, but was I in for a surprise. He tackled his character differently in Reborn Rich so I never saw him as Vincenzo but as Jin Do-jun/Yoon Hyun-woo. He is likewise supported by veteran actors whose performances are top caliber, making Reborn Rich such a treat for all Kdrama lovers.

Kudos to the whole Reborn Rich team.
