I loved Song Joon Ki in Vincenzo and when I saw he was starring in this new drama, I wanted to see it. Each week, I had to wait for new episodes and it was really tough waiting because they were so good! I could rewatch this whole series again and probably like it even more the 2nd time around.

The fantasy part (a guy is shot and somehow is reborn about 20 years earlier as a grandson of the Chairman of a huge conglomerate in Korea) is just the kind of thing I love. These types of scenarios don't always work as well as I would like, but in this case it was handled just perfectly.

I am going to find out who wrote this script and look for more by this person.

Forget any bad reviews. I have watched a lot of dramas and this is right up there with the best. All the actors especially the leads were outstanding. I literally counted the hours to the next episode and could easily watch it all again. 16 episodes was perfect and not dragged out and it didn't feel like a rushed ending. I think it even left room for a season 2 as lots of characters still could have further stories to unfold. The Chairmans character went from hate to love and back during the series. Song Joon Ki proves how adaptable he is to different roles and chooses his projects carefully. I encourage you to binge watch this series as soon as you can. Now if possible!!!!!

Overall a great drama till episode 15, intriguing plot and for first time in a while, every episode made sense. The volatile relationships between the characters and the hostile environment the drama is based alone makes this drama worth watching.

However the ending, episode 16, is one of the most confusing and meaningless episodes of I've ever witnessed. I wish I hadn't watched the last episode. It is like eating an extremely delicious cupcake but the last bite that you cherish the most is filled with poop. I wish there was an undo button for our memories.

The last episode, especially the conclusion, made a literal mockery of the whole plot and made no sense. The message that the writer wanted to present at the end "Repentance" had no meaning whatsoever. At least stick to an emotion that you can do justice to. Just because you need to finish the drama in 16 episodes, don't kill it with such a sub-standard ending. It could have been an excellent drama but it will be a good drama only due to the ending.

Even after years, people (at least I) would resent this drama for its last episode, which this drama and the team behind it doesn't deserves.

To summarise in one line, a fantastic drama with a fatal ending that kills the plot and the drama.

Such a creative and catchy story. That guy, Song Joon Ki, has a good eye for scenarios, I believe. His works are always the best. He is the best cast for smart guys, BTW. Must be one of the very few K dramas I can't stop watching even to sleep. The reason why I stop watching is not finish all episodes broadcasted. It will be difficult to wait for the finale. However, I do not think there is great chemistry between the leading male and female actors. That's the only thing I found "ok". I like the fact that in K dramas, there are some fantastic elements that lead to broader range of small stories beside the main story. Bonus, the first episode is taking place in Istanbul. Thank you all who worked for this drama.

The drama may be tagged as "fantasy" but the execution, the directing and the acting seem so real and believable. The fact that real sociopolitical events are interspersed with the story makes the drama more compelling.

Song Joong-ki once again chose a very good drama. Initially I was apprehensive that Reborn Rich may be similar to Vincenzo, his last drama prior to Reborn Rich where his character left an indelible mark on me, but was I in for a surprise. He tackled his character differently in Reborn Rich so I never saw him as Vincenzo but as Jin Do-jun/Yoon Hyun-woo. He is likewise supported by veteran actors whose performances are top caliber, making Reborn Rich such a treat for all Kdrama lovers.

Kudos to the whole Reborn Rich team.
