Thrilling storyline

I have read the earlier reviews and they have covered most of the character analysis I wanted to do. So instead I would like to talk about the child artist Kim Kang Hoon ( young Do Joon). I was awed by this actor. He had the maturity of the character as was required . Though he was a child ,he was portraying adult Song Joon ki. His expressions and emotions were so spot on. I also loved the way the discussion went on with his grandfather. I wanted to see more of him but I would say he had his presence known clearly in just one episode . Way to go for this actor.
The story is thrilling, the cast is superb . Just two episodes and I am totally hooked and have watched it twice already. Presently everything is going on fine and hope it gets better and better in coming episodes.

Everything so good, but ended disappointly

Reborn Rich is another revenge drama, but with time and space involving memory transfer to another body which is quite supernatural. Another thing the drama does well is executing the ideas of the character through and showcasing many glimpses of early 2000s South Korea.

There is very less romance in the drama, and for a reason I preferred that. The political strategy and the ups and downs in the country that has been utilised by the Soonyang family was quite intriguing. The best of the drama is the relationship between Jin Do Jun and his grandfather, is pure gold, it's just perfect and deserves a 10 just for it, the acting was on point even with the child actor was brilliant too.

Everything was straightaway gold until the last episode. The 15th episode changed the pattern of the show and the finale of the drama turned out to be messed up. Episode 16 throws out everything, every aspiration, dream, all the development and the beautifully crafted revenge plot, and turns into a train-wreck that looks conclusive on paper, yet lacking in feeling like a real ending. The character of Do Jun had the saddest conclusion and it felt a forced way out for Soonyang which made the conclusion unsatisfactory. Had it not been for the ending, the drama definitely had the best output of its potential.


My Rating : 8/10

Watch this drama for Lee Sung Mi, who is excellent, as he almost always is. Unfortunately there are also many stereotypical Korean drama caricatures here who behave in too predictable ways. I think the drama was intended as a takedown of entitled and selfish chaebols. But revenge dramas need to have villains worthy of your hate (see "The Glory"), in order for the protagonist's retribution to feel truly satisfying. The villains here don't quite hit the mark. Still, this drama was pretty addictive.

Should have been called The Chairman and solely focused on him- maybe it would have been a 10

Despite my initial excitement and high hopes, "Reborn Rich" left me feeling disappointed and underwhelmed. As a dedicated viewer of K-Dramas, I was eager to dive into its storyline and characters, anticipating another captivating addition to my watchlist. However, despite my genuine desire to like it, I couldn't overlook its shortcomings.

From the outset, I found myself struggling to connect with the plot and characters. Especially the main character played by Song Jong Ki. The rest of the cast, though brilliantly consisting of solid veterans in K Drama world, did not have a deft script to give them nuance and flair.

Despite the intriguing premise, the execution felt lackluster, leaving much to be desired in terms of depth and development. Chaebol families have incredible nuance and intrigue that regular families do not have and the fact that this drama failed to exploit this was bewildering. As the episodes progressed, I hoped for improvement, clinging to the possibility that the drama would find its stride. Maybe Song Jong Ki would show some bite , maybe psycho cousin will have more nuance than being 2 dimensionally psycho , maybe the ill inserted romance will find its stride.Unfortunately, my enthusiasm waned as the storyline failed to engage , and the characters failed to resonate with me on an emotional level.

There was a useless thread of a romance that was strangely inserted which also just added a bad taste to everything.

BUT I must mention the incredible Lee Sung Min who played the amazing Chairman.With his commanding presence and nuanced portrayal, Lee Sung Min breathed life into the character of the chairman, elevating every scene he graced with his talent. His impeccable delivery, whether conveying authority or vulnerability, added depth and complexity to the character, making him the most compelling figure in the entire drama. Maybe the drama adaptation should have just focused on the Chairman instead of the grandson.

Overall, "Reborn Rich" is a disappointing K-Drama that fails to deliver on its promise. While it may have had potential, its lackluster execution ultimately makes it forgettable and unremarkable in the crowded landscape of Korean dramas.

No respect for the author.

This show was not supposed to be made. The novel which it is adapted from was not suitable for making a kdrama. It was simply a intellectual novel with lots of effort spent on research.........The novel felt real......And then we have a same old chaebol drama with Song joong ki made to portray a cheeky too smart irritating character. Disgrace to the author and the fans who read the novel. All what the director and writers did was copy the plot and removed any 'fillers' which made everything make sense and released it. If you are korean please do not watch this and read the novel. As for non-koreans there is no proper translation after 20 chapters.
The novel is 'Youngest Son of Sunyang'

One episode was enough to prove Song Joong-ki's true value. Yoon Hyun-woo's undisturbed visuals and cool-headed aura were drawn beyond perfection, drawing viewers at once. Yoon Hyun-woo's charisma, completed with glasses and suits, neat styling, and meticulous acting skills, was possible because of actor Song Joong-ki's unrivaled presence. In particular, the emotions of Yoon Hyeon-woo, a character who is strong enough to endure the insulting words and actions of the owner's family in silence, are vividly conveyed with only his eyes and facial expressions, raising the level of immersion.

Yoon Hyeon-woo wakes up with the bloodline of the Sunyang family that killed him. Song Joong-ki is now planning to portray Jin Do-joon, the youngest son of a conglomerate family living in the past with all his memories. Yoon Hyeon-woo and Jin Do-joon have the same inner side, but they stand at opposite extremes in the era, the age of the characters, and the positions they have. As Song Joong-ki mesmerizes viewers by portraying any role delicately and convincingly, we look forward to his upcoming acting party.

Quasi parfait, à un épisode près

Reborn Rich est un drama prenant et pasionnant en mode thriller politique et un gros focus sur les familles de Chaebol. Je ne veux pas trop en dire pour ne pas spoil mais j'ai vraiment trouvé plusieurs moment jouissif et le contexte historique ajoute beaucoup à l'histoire et n'est pas du tout accessoire. Grosse mention pour l'acting du grand père de cette famille qui est assurément criant de vérité, agaçant et admirable selon les moments.

Mais car il y'a un mais, après 15 épisodes presque parfait, gros retournement de situation qui m'a laissé énormément sur ma faim car semblant faire fit de tout ce qui s'ets passé précédemment. Dommage mais cela ne remet pas en cause la qualité de ce drama qui aurait une fin différente dans le webtoon dont il est tiré.

QUINZE episódios ótimos e UM ruim, o último.

Acho que atualmente não tem como começar a falar de Renascendo Rico sem falar que ele tem um final um pouco controverso que na minha opinião deixou a desejar, também ouvi muitas pessoas insatisfeitas reclamando. Acho que o grande spoiler é: A trama se propõe a ser sobre um assunto, mostra ele durante 15 episódios para no final a história ser sobre outra coisa (apesar de concluir também a trama de vingança, mas fica uma sensação agridoce no expectador). Então já está aqui o aviso, pq eu gostaria ter sido avisada. Assistiria se soubesse disso? Sim, assistiria. Logo quando terminei me senti extremamente frustrada, mas agora passado alguns dias acho que toda a diversão que se tem nos 15 episódios vale as frustrações do último.

Se você gosta de um drama de vingança, de personagens ricos, soberbos e malvados eventualmente sofrendo, traição familiar e principalmente se você gosta do Song Joong Ki vale a pena assistir.

Se você procura um drama redondo, sem pontas soltas com um final satisfatório, existem muitos outros dramas, esse não é para você.

Nos primeiros episódios a história é confusa, precisa prestar bastante atenção, são muitos personagens, muitos nomes, muitos interesses... Depois você vai se habituando e tudo fica mais fácil.

A melhor parte do drama na minha opinião é a relação do Jin Do Joon (Song Joong Ki) com o avô, eles começam sem se conhecer e o neto acaba ganhando a admiração do avô (a maneira dele) . Também é muito agradável ver os tios e primo dele se ferrando no decorrer dos episódios. A ideia dos fatos que não podem ser mudados também é ótima. A maneira como a história da trama e os eventos que aconteceram na história dos últimos 50 anos da coreia estão entrelaçados também e excelente. (Lição aprendida: Estudar história e saber o máximo o que acontece no mundo, não sabemos como isso poderá ser útil no futuro). Porém toda essa construção acaba de maneira sofrível no último episódio.

Desde o inicio já fiquei curiosa sobre o desfecho, o que aconteceu de fato com o personagem do Song Joong Ki, também sabia que não seria fácil escrever esse final. Mas a trama vai se desenvolvendo de maneira tão inteligente que criei muitas expectativas sobre um final surpreendente. No fim optaram para um final de certa forma “realista” o que me fez perguntar “Pq tivemos que assistir tudo isso?” E não sabemos de fato o que houve com o personagem do Song Joong Ki, tudo bem, poderíamos pensar e dar o nosso próprio fim, mas não! O roteiro nos diz que ele também não sabe o que houve!!!
Sei que existem muitos tipos de narrativas que tem como objetivo causar muitas sensações no expectador, mas se eu soubesse que não era sobre o que a trama se propõe por 15 episódios não estaria tão frustrada. Pq no final não era sobre a vingança!!! (Apesar de ela ser executada de uma maneira meio capenga).

Nem vou falar do pseudo romance, se não já vou mudar a ideia inicial que valeria a pena assistir mesmo assim.

Reviravoltas

EU TÔ!!!!!!!!!! SEM PALAVRASSSSSSS EU TÔ TODA ARREPIADA.
Nem sei por onde começar. Tipo ele falando que foi arrependimento mas ela lembrando da conversa que ELES DOIS TIVERAM? Todos os meus neurônios explodiram.
Eu nem consigo falar, pensar. Eu só queria dizer que joong ki sabe muito bem escolher os papéis dele viu? Que homem incrível! Eu adoro muito o trabalho dele e mais uma vez ele mostrou para o quê veio. Eu tô muito em choque
Eu amei muito toda história, os plots, os personagens, que momento, tudo muito bem escrito, tudo muito amarrado (apesar de eu estar tentando entender algumas coisas ainda).
A hyun bin incrível nesse papel, muito feliz por ela.
Parabenizar o ator que fez o yang cheol que foi espetacular, na verdade todos os atores que fizeram os papéis muito bem, toda a equipe do drama que fizeram um ótimo trabalho e realmente foi incrível. Sensacional, sem palavras. Não tenho o que dizer sobre nada. Foi perfeito.

Inconsistant et fade.

Si je n'ai pas aimé :

- J'adore Song Joong ki. Du moins, j'adorais. Comme quoi, un chouchou remontant à 2007 peut tomber lamentablement en quelques minutes dans son estime... Je ne sais pas à partir de quel moment, vous savez ce moment où vous vous dites "pourquoi mon coeur ne bat-il plus?". J'avais encore aimé "Vincenzo" mais pour être honnête moins pour lui que pour les autres personnages du drama (Ah l'agent du NIS). J'imagine que la magie n'opère plus. Son jeu est loin de la prise de risque et si peu de subtilité dans ses expressions faciales. Pire, en homme amoureux, on y croit de moins en moins (déjà dans "Vincenzo") et cela se confirme ici... Et puis l'avoir rajeuni de 20 ans afin de le pouvoir faire jouer un personnage de 20 ans, What The Heck!
Certes, il ne fait pas son âge, certes il reste joli garçon et blabla, mais ici, c'était too much, les couleurs de la peau n'étaient pas naturelles, trop lisses, trop roses, trop brillantes. Si vous avez vu "18 again" (un magnifique drama soit-dit en passant...), nous avons eu droit à 2 acteurs, un pour le personnage à 40 ans et un autre pour le personnage à 18 ans. Et cela fut parfait. Le challenge des deux acteurs avait été de nous faire croire qu'ils n'étaient au final qu'une seule et même personne. Pari tenu. Alors qu'ici...

- Un scénario intéressant mais qui perd très vite de sa crédibilité. Il est difficile de ne pas faire le rapprochement avec "Again my life". Pourtant si ce dernier brille par des protagonistes savoureux, drôle ou intriguant donnant ainsi une légèreté et un humour bon enfant à l'ensemble de la série, c'est loin d'être le cas de "reborn rich". En effet, tous les protagonistes, à peu de chose près, sont des pourritures pitoyables pour qui le spectateur est dans l'incapacité de ressentir autre chose que de l'ennui. Aucun de ces "méchants" ne resteront dans la mémoire. Le grand-père? J'aurai aimé avoir un peu d'estime ou d'empathie, un peu comme Woo Yong Soo dans "again my life", tout au plus un peu de curiosité qui très vite s'essouffle. La fratrie? Elle ne brille ni par son ingéniosité, ni par un charisme machiavélique ( Ah Kim Min Jung dans "Devil Judge" !!! Machiavélique, forte, intelligente et d'une séduction folle mêlant à une fragilité certaine, en voilà une antagoniste brillante!), une équipe de looser quoi.
Il y a beaucoup de chose qui ne paraisse ni logique, ni réel. Résultat, on se retrouve à bailler et à avoir du mal à suivre une intrigue pourtant prometteuse.

- Des protagonistes antipathiques dont l'intérêt est de seulement nous montrer la cruauté, la gourmandise de ce monde. En parlant de ce monde, le monde des affaires, on aurait aimé que le réalisateur nous le fasse "aimer", du moins de nous y intéresser. Que nenni. C'est rébarbatif, c'est long, c'est pénible et les milles et une magouilles nous lassent très vite. Je n'ai jamais été fan de drama traitant de ce sujet, un monde de requin où tout est bon pour se poignarder dans le dos, alors si tout est noir, sombre, où le pire côtoie le pitoyable, j'ai tendance à m'endormir. Les relations ne sont en aucun cas émotionnellement mises en valeur, comme la relation avec le grand-père ou les nouveaux parents, voire les anciens. Tout est traité avec nonchalance et parsème le drama ici et là sans consistance de leur apparition inutile. Résultat, le protagoniste ne nous parait pas sympathique, n'ayant pas de lien nous le rendant humain, plus proche de nous.

- La romance? Hahahaha, je ne dirai rien, cela fait très longtemps que mon coeur n'a pas battu devant un couple de Kdrama (peut-être "taxi driver 2" ...). Ici, cela rejoint le pire (déjà que Alchemy of Souls n'était pas loin d'être le pire). Achimie? zéro. Intensité? Zéro. Solidité du couple? Zéro.

- La bande son...impossible à m'en rappeler. Et c'est un détail auquel je prête pourtant attention....

Verdict : Après le dernier des soeurs Hong, Nam Goong Min (que j'aime toujours à la folie par contre) ou le dernier de Lee Seung Gi, une autre grande déception inattendue.... L'année 2022 s'est mal terminée et 2023 ne commence pas très fort.

Soprendente quasi fino alla fine

Io non amo i drama sulle dinastie famigliari, nè amo i drama che riguardano il mondo della finanza. Già fatico a seguire la finanza italiana, figuarsi capire l'economia di un paese straniero e diverso da noi come la Corea. Inoltre trovo i discorsi economici in un drama noiosi. Per tutti questi motivi ero decisa a non guardare Reborn Rich nonostante il suo cast stellare. Ero certa non fosse il mio genere. Poi per caso ho guardato la prima puntata e sorprendentemente mi ha acchiappato subito. O quasi. Diciamo che l'acchiappo si è consolidato con la seconda puntata e non vedevo l'ora di sapere cosa sarebbe successo dopo. La puntate erano molto lunghe ma talmente piene di accadimenti che annoiarsi era impossibile nonostante non capissi la metà dei termini finanziari. Gli attori specialmente il patriarca e suo nipote (il prtagonista maschile) erano veramente carismatici, specie il patriarca. Nessun personaggio era supersimpatico, nessun personaggio era totalmente positivo, anzi, eppure tutti bucavano lo schermo. L'elento paranormale poi a me piace sempre perciò aggiungeva fascino al tutto e ho veramente adorato questo drama come non credevo avrei potuto. Poi però è arrivato il finale e la, diciamo spiegazione del mistero paranormale e....non sono riuscita a cerderci. Ho una grande fantasia e adoro le trame strane, ma qui bermi che il protagonista non ricordasse cosa aveva causato e neppure l'esistenza della sua vittima...non ci riesco. Capisco sopprimere una colpa non volerci pensare seppellire la testa sotto la sabbia ma devo credere che si era autorimosso dei ricordi così vitali per anni e pure dopo essere stato ammazzato dai suoi capi?!!! Chi è forse un paragnosta? Si è ipnotizzato? Fin dalll'inizio aveva in mano la chiave per distruggere quella famiglia e non l'ha mai usata nonostante tutte le umiliazioni e anche quando torna nel presente all'inizio non la vuole usare? Ma siamo impazzitti? Il finale mi ha deluso lo ammetto e il drama non è più stato lo stesso dopo la scomparsa del patriarca ma resta comunque uno stupendo drama. Nonostante i difetti.Solo non era quello che credevo, il che forse non è un difetto, poichè lo rende soprendente. Credi di stare guardando un drama sulla vendetta e alla fine scopri che era tutto il contrario, cioè un drama sul perdono.
