Reborn Rich – A Gripping Tale of Power, Karma, and Unfinished Dreams
Reborn Rich is an intensely captivating drama that pulls you in from the very first episode. With themes of revenge, reincarnation, corporate politics, and bittersweet family dynamics, it offers a solid 15-episode journey that’s both emotionally layered and packed with suspense.
The standout aspect? The relationship between Jin Do Jun and his grandfather — it’s pure gold. Their dynamic is written and acted to perfection, with Lee Sung Min and Song Joong Ki delivering powerhouse performances that elevate the show entirely. Even the child actor deserves praise. Jin Do Jun’s moments with his new family — especially his brother, mom, and dad — feel like the warmth he never had, and those quiet, wholesome moments are among the most memorable.
The series builds a compelling narrative, especially through its brilliant use of karma and justice. It doesn’t rely heavily on romance (which is fine here), and instead focuses on character growth and the emotional weight of Jin Do Jun’s dual lives. Add to that a stellar soundtrack and some jaw-dropping plot twists — and you’ve got a binge-worthy drama.
However, the ending does feel like a misstep. It abandons the emotional payoff and character arcs that were so carefully developed, leaving the finale feeling more grounded but far less satisfying. Jin Do Jun’s fate, in particular, left me with a heavy heart.
Still, Reborn Rich is an exceptional watch. For fans of Song Joong Ki, gripping storytelling, and layered dramas, this one is absolutely worth your time. It’s just that with a better ending, it could’ve been a perfect 10.
