Reborn Rich is sharp, addictive, and full of that satisfying “revenge done right” energy. What starts as a corporate drama quickly turns into a complex web of power, legacy, and fate—and honestly, I was hooked from the first episode.
Song Joong-ki gives one of his best performances here. He carries the weight of two lives—one as a loyal employee betrayed and killed, and another as the youngest son of the chaebol family that destroyed him. The way he navigates this new life with calculated grace and quiet fury is just so good to watch.
The writing is clever and layered. You’re not just watching boardroom battles—you’re seeing a character outmaneuver generations of power, all while dealing with identity, grief, and purpose. The pacing is tight, and the show knows when to be intense, emotional, and even surprisingly funny at times.
There are a few moments where it leans too heavily on exposition or business jargon, and the ending stirred up mixed reactions for a lot of people—but for me, the journey was absolutely worth it.
Pros:
✔ Brilliant performance by Song Joong-ki
✔ Smart, high-stakes storytelling
✔ Well-paced with emotional depth
✔ Great production and sharp direction
Cons:
✘ Ending may feel divisive or rushed for some
✘ Occasional info-dumps or heavy financial talk
Would I rewatch? Yes—especially the early episodes. Watching him take control of his second life never gets old.
