Here is a T.M.I about the popular drama “Reborn Rich”.
If you could go back 30 years ago, what would you like to do the most? Buying lands in a new town? Or stocks that would obviously go up? There’s a drama that tells about all those things.
JTBC’s Fri-Sat-Sun drama “Reborn Rich”, starring Lee Sung Min, Song Joong Ki, and Shin Hyun Been, tells about a secretary, who manages the assets of a chaebol family, living his second life after being reincarnated into the youngest son of that chaebol family.
With thrilling and fast developments, the drama is enjoying extraordinary popularity. Reaching another viewer rating peak of 21% in the latest episode, “Reborn Rich” rose to No.3 on the list of JTBC dramas with the highest rating records, following “The World of the Married” and “SKY Castle”.
Viewers said that the amazing acting performances of Lee Sung Min and Song Joong Ki contributed greatly to the success of the drama. In fact, the two decided to appear in “Reborn Rich” because of each other.
In an interview before the official broadcast of “Reborn Rich”, the two actors revealed the reason they selected this work.
Lee Sung Min said, “I was more determined after knowing actor Song Joong Ki would star in the drama this time. I had always wanted to work with him someday. While I was still hesitating, Joong Ki said he would do it, so I decided to join him.”
In response, Song Joong Ki also shared, “I had met Sung Min sunbaenim several times before, but unfortunately, we couldn’t have any opportunity to work together. If he hadn’t taken on the role of Chairman Jin Yang Chul, I would have rejected my casting offer either. Many actors of my age want to act with a senior like him.”
As soon as the casting news was reported, fans already raised expectations for the collaboration of Lee Sung Min and Song Joong Ki. After the drama aired, the two’s acting chemistry actually drew explosive reactions and favorable reviews. Many viewers even pointed out their collaboration as one of the most interesting points of the drama.
