The percentage of "Reborn Rich" has surpassed 20 percent. The World of the Married continues to be the top-rated drama of all time, receiving 28.4% of the vote, followed by "Sky Castle," which received 23.8%. Breaking this record appears to be a matter of time once "The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate Housesecond "'s act gets underway.

The conversation's subject matter was likewise too broad. It was first in the drama category and first overall, including entertainment, according to a Good Data Corporation survey conducted in the first week of December. Actor Song Joong-ki also placed first, followed by Lee Sung-min in third place, Park Ji-hyun in fifth, Kim Nam-hee in seventh, and Kim Shin-rok in ninth place sweeping the chart, realizing the enthusiastic response.

Despite the swirling plot, Song Joong-ki succeeded in creating a distinctive, three-dimensional persona by piling on the details. Yoon Hyun-woo and Jin-joon, in particular, enthralled audiences by deftly portraying the complicated feelings of the characters who had dual identities. The focus is on what Song Joong-ki will surprise viewers with in "Reborn Rich," as he continues to break into "Legend" with a strong performance that he has no time to focus on.

3. Drama's Planning Intention

The slang term "Isaengmang," which is frequently used these days, served as inspiration for the drama's preparation. This life signifies that "this life is ruined." Therefore, the query is, "Is it conceivable in the next life?" However, we are already aware that there is no afterlife. I simply wish there was another life to spare the difficult one.

According to the drama, the word "Lee Saeng-mang" originated as a young person's frantic plea for help to the outside world.

A society in which polarization is on the rise and has its roots in class. a society in which a person's parents are their greatest assets. Is it necessary to lead a difficult life if a choice is made instantly from birth to death? It is a work that answers the question of "Can I sing hope?" with a different story. 

I continue to think that everyone deserves blessings and respect simply for being a human. It may be more impossible to imagine such a world than time travel, possession, or reincarnation, yet it represents our current reality as a fantastical play.

The drama's theme, according to producer Chung Dae-yoon, is a man whose life is linked with a chaebol family. People may assume it's a romance or a "mess" based solely on the title, but this is a misconception, he added. It's a tale about a victim of injustice going back in time and learning the truth about how he died. Regression appears to be in vogue these days in the drama world. The play "The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate House," in contrast to other regressions, incorporates significant historical and present events from the 1980s. We can witness historical events naturally, which is the appeal of our theater, he remarked.

4. Evaluation 

It received 6% ratings from the first episode, the best ratings for a JTBC drama in 2022 and the highest ratings for a JTBC broadcast following "The World of the Married." The recent JTBC drama stalemate has been shattered by this drama. Without fail, the ratings are increasing with each new show. The majority of viewers feel that being able to concentrate more on the plot is satisfactory, and it is broadcast three times per week.

 

The plot that has evolved since it was dramatized hasn't won over the initial fans, which is the sole regret for the "Reborn Rich," which is on a roll. With a 20 percent rating at this point, it is being watched closely to see if "The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate House" would be able to break the previous record for JTBC drama's highest ratings by drawing in new viewers while also satisfying its core following. People who saw the original movie complain that many of the novels were left out and the likelihood was damaged since they were turned into dramas, although many viewers of the drama initially thought it was tense. As the number of female characters in the drama increases and is drawn independently at the same time, there are many positive replies.

With their strong acting abilities and regression, actors like Song Joong-ki and Lee Sung-min have drawn a lot of attention from the beginning. Positive compliments are being given in particular to Lee Sung-portrayal min's of Chairman Jin Yang-chul. Once again, Lee Sung-min, who always reinvents the best sequences with his incredible acting abilities, gripped spectators with his spooky performance. His flawless portrayal of a variety of characters—including a bumbling chaebol chairman, a spiteful parent no one can trust, and a sick who transformed back into a small child—wowed viewers as well.

6. Digression

At the drama's presentation, Song Joong-ki stated, "There are many actors younger than me who want to play with Lee Sung-min. I got the opportunity to watch him in a few pieces, but it just wasn't meant to be. Through this job, I was able to see you, and I'm overjoyed that our excitement to work together has materialized. He was so trustworthy that if my senior hadn't accepted the post, I believe I would have respectfully declined it, he added, expressing his trust and love for Lee Sung-min, who shared the task.

Lee Sung-min remarked about Song Joong-ki and acting, "I was thrilled merely to be together at the stage. Despite the fact that he was a younger performer, I could rely on him. He described him as a trustworthy friend with a big chest. I always feel like a trustworthy younger brother and the eldest son whenever I play a role or spend time with him in the present.

Through the use of sophisticated makeup, Lee Sang-min in this work assumed the appearance of a person who is older than they actually are. In "Remember," Lee Sung-min stated, "I already had more wrinkled makeup than Jin Yang-chul's character at the time, so dressing up wasn't too tough for me." Compared to then, getting dressed took less time. As a result, I doubt that seeing myself dressed up made me feel very novel.

7. ‘Reborn Rich’ Actor Reaction

At the drama's production presentation, Song Joong-ki, who acted opposite Yoon Hyun-woo and Jin Do-joon, said, "I didn't realize it was a two-person part," adding, "I imagined it was a story of a person who returned to the past." He admitted that it was difficult to convey the two characters. "I believed that "family" served as a bridge between the past and the present. The word "family" provided me with motivation when I was obstructed from filming."

I placed a lot of trust in the writer, Song Joong-ki stated. First and foremost, I chose my work because of its strong narrative, “He answered. He claimed that Lee Sung-min, who plays the part of Jin Yang-chul, is the reason why the work has improved. ” I believe the drama includes a variety of my grandfather's and my granddaughter's feelings."

In response to a question about his acting process for the role of Jin Yang-chul in "The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate," Lee Sung-min said, “I approached him thinking that there was a reality rather than a traditional chaebol drama. I acted while paying attention to the point where I wanted the character I played to be reminiscent of a person in our modern history.”
