There is no denying that Song JoongKi is one of the reasons that "Reborn Rich" has received such immense hype and attention. In the drama's premiere weekend alone, JoongKi has covered an entire spectrum of personas, showcasing his phenomenal acting skills.
He's gone from hardworking company worker to beloved grandson, and even flirty college student. It will be interesting to watch how Song JoongKi continues to flesh out his character in episodes to come.
2. Three Episode Per Week Schedule
Most dramas stick to a two episode per week schedule, which has been the norm for many years. However, it seems that "Reborn Rich" not only wants to present an interesting story but to also challenge set expectations of K-Dramas.
With three episodes per week, viewers and fans of the series will have the opportunity to quickly dive into the central plot. Currently, the drama shows significant promise of there never being a dull episode. If this continues moving forward, "Reborn Rich" certainly has the potential to become one of the best K-Dramas of the year.
3. A Gripping Revenge Story
Presently, "Reborn Rich" has done an excellent job at setting the stage for Yoon HyunWoo. His background story and the reasons why he seeks revenge have been carefully laid out for all to see. Now that he's in the body of Jin DoJoon, every action he makes seems to take him one step closer to his end goal. No second is wasted and viewers will be kept at the edge of their seats in anticipation for HyunWoo's next move.
4. Chaebol Power Struggle
The chaebol power struggle is not a foreign trope to longtime K-Drama fans. "Reborn Rich" presents it in a different light as Yoon HyunWoo aims to take down SunYang Group from the inside as the youngest son.
While he goes toe to toe against Jin YangCheol (Lee SungMin), the head of the family, HyunWoo will also face other relatives who desire to take over the company. There is bound to be an intense back and forth within the family. It will be interesting to watch how HyunWoo stays ahead of them all while in pursuit of revenge.
