With a startling turn of events, JTBC's Friday-Saturday-Sunday drama “Reborn Rich” once again surpassed its own record-high ratings.

The 15th episode of "The Youngest Son of a Jaebeol House," which aired on the 24th, received a 25% rating based on paid households countrywide, according to Nielsen Korea, a ratings measurement organization. With a metro area-based viewership rating of 28.2% and a target audience of 10.3%, 2049 ranked top across all channels.

For the first time among the miniseries that have been shown this year, “Reborn “Rich has already surpassed the 20 percent ratings mark. The drama is well received since it has all three beats of play pace, acting prowess, and the thrill of retaliation.

In the play, actor Kim Jung-nan played the role of "Son Jeong-rae," Sunyanga's eldest daughter-in-law, creating a character with a beautiful appearance and a haughty demeanor, but with his "lack" side, he produced a character with his acting abilities. The “Reborn Rich” enjoyed success at the box office thanks in part to Kim Jung-salt-like nan's passionate performance.

A critic of popular culture named Ha Jae-geun said, “The harder the reality is, the more popular dreamlike fantasy dramas become. I can relate to the economic trend that I already know, and I can feel vicarious satisfaction because the main character is on a roll in a reality where it is difficult to buy an apartment in Seoul.”

1. Who is Kim Jung-nan?

She made her debut as a talent for the 14th open recruitment of KBS in 1991, however, Kwak Jin-young and she both failed to get past the third round of the MBC's 19th open recruitment.

Her true name, Kim Hyun-ah, was used in his early career; but, since 1997, she has gone by the stage name "Kim Jung-nan."  The character of Hwang Jin-sun of Love was played by Tomorrow, which debuted the following year, and received the Best New Actor Award and the Best New Artist Award at the Baeksa Arts Awards.

Because the airing date did not meet her expectations, she has since temporarily ceased his activities. She later went back to school to become an actor, however, when she became a forgotten name, she worked as a reporter for a while.

After a hiatus, he resumed acting in 1996, portraying the consort of King Seongjong and a loyalist who was cruelly murdered by Yeonsan-gun in the drama "King and Rain" in 1998.

Kim Jung-nan, in particular, portrayed numerous roles in productions referred to as luxury dramas. As a result of the acclaim she received for her portrayal of Park Min-sook in the dignity of a gentleman in 2012, Kim Eun-sook also made two appearances in Kim Soo-hyun's films,  leading the lively mood as Noh Young-seol with her family.

The actor Kim Jung-nan then took a brief vacation from his work to dominate the entire cast of the 2018 drama Sky Castle, overwhelming the entire play even though he got off at the beginning, playing Lee Myung-joo.

Since then, Comrade Ma Young-ae, who is referred to as the wife of the pedestal and the commander of the North Avengers in the 2019 Dr. Friesner and tvN drama Crash Landing on You, will become an important licorice-like character despite having a supporting part.

In the JTBC drama “Reborn Rich,” Kim Jung-nan is currently portraying Son Jung-rae, the eldest daughter-in-law. Son Jung-rae, played by Kim Jung-nan, is the oldest daughter-in-law of Jin Yang-cheol, the head of the Sunyang Group, a chaebol family, who is portrayed by Lee Seong-min.

With her stunning appearance, Son Jung-rae is a typical daughter-in-law of a chaebol family who enjoys luxury items, but she has a slightly messy personality.

2. Kim Jang-nan's Personality?

Kim Jung-nan responded when asked if she was a car girl in real life "That is a factor. But it's neither too chilly nor too fierce. She often chuckles. You cannot simply ignore injustice if you see it. It resembles Sailor Moon "She answered.

I don't look my age at all, Kim Jung-nan claimed in an interview with a media source. Is there a certain way to take care of it? Just trying not to dwell on things too much? She recalled that when she was younger, she was so sensitive that she couldn't sleep for a few days because she fretted about unimportant details.

I instantly realized, though, that at this pace, I would soon become old. Even under the strain of aging as I grew older over time, I made a concerted effort to maintain my optimism since I believed I shouldn't do this. Even though I'm terrible at the piano, I try to avoid playing with my pals and talking to them.

In her first observational entertainment program, Kim Jung-nan also made an appearance. He was well-liked for displaying his genuine attitude, which included a good smile and friendliness toward everyone.

Added Kim Jung-nan: “Initially, I was friendly and outgoing, but I was allowed to express who I really was while I was being filmed for observational entertainment, so I felt at ease. It feels fantastic to come out of the persona I've been playing for so long and show who I really am.”

3. Kim Jang-nan's Activity (Actor Life)

She made her acting debut in 1991 for the 14th KBS public recruiting, and the year after that, Tomorrow, who also made an appearance, received Best New Actor and Best New Artist Awards for his portrayal of Hwang Jin-sun of Love. She was unable to participate in the play owing to a hiatus, and she later made a comeback in 1996.

She made her public debut a year later, in 1998, in the epic drama "King and Rain," playing a genuine noblewoman who served as King Seongjong's consort and was brutally murdered by Yeonsan-gun.

She moved a lot and was busy in the 2000s. She rode her reputation as a supporting performer to success. She was active in what is known as luxury dramas in 2010. She gained popularity in 2012 for her performance as Park Min-sook in Kim Eun-new sook's “Sinsa.”

She took a short hiatus from her profession in the interim and played Lee Myung-joo, a character who made an unexpected choice, in the 2018 drama SKY Castle, where she dedicated her life to getting her child accepted to Seoul National University of Medicine.

Even though she was dropped at the start of the competition, she was a founding member who helped to open the door to SKY Castle and displayed a powerful presence that permeated the entire play. It is fair to assume that she kept watching Sky Castle due to the beautifully designed final scene by Kim Jung-nan. With just her second appearance, she already demonstrated more than 200% of his true value.

In the tvN drama Crash Landing on You, which aired later in 2019, she performed another impassioned part as comrade Ma Young-ae, the pedestal's wife and the head of the North Avengers. Not to mention his acting prowess, she successfully incorporated her upbeat and haughty character into the play and won the audience over. Undoubtedly, the play's role has grown since SKY Castle, and despite being a supporting actor, it is thought to have achieved the actor's prime, leaving as much impact as the main character.

4. ‘Reborn Rich’ Interview

Through "Reborn Rich," Kim Jung-nan once again displayed her exceptional vision for selecting works. Kim Jung-appearances, nan's starting with "SKY Castle" in 2019, have all received positive reviews and box office success, including "Dr. Freesner," "Crash Landing on You," "Nine-Tailed Fox," and “Mouse.”

A "work to trust and see" has been produced by Kim Jung-acting nan's talent, which seamlessly blends into any character and the innovative eye that sets popular works apart. 

 

Q. "The Youngest Son of a Jaebeol House" brought you new adoration. What do you think?

- It was a privilege to take part in such an epic drama. Acting with the best actors, like Song Joong-ki and Lee Sung-min, has taught me a lot. I'm hoping that the drama will be long remembered even after the work is over.

 

Q. What is your upcoming film?

- Through the course of the movie Audrey, say hello onscreen. As portrayed by her son Kang Ki-hoon (Park Ji-hoon) and her mother Oh Mi-yeon (Kim Jung-nan), who has a warm affection for her mother, Audrey is a tale of optimism that blossoms like a flower petal. Please remove Son Jeong-rae, who plays Oh in "Reborn Rich," from her role as the daughter-in-law of a chaebol family.

 

Q. Since your 1991 KBS 14th open recruiting debut as a talent, you must have gone through many turning points. How do you feel right now?

I knew in my gut that in order to survive, I had to start with a header to the hard earth. People claimed that I was living so ferociously that my eyes were spewing lasers. I had to start over from scratch after the peak. I occasionally took a break from my activities. I once questioned whether this was really my way. I believe it came as fate has so far directed.

 

Q. What are your thoughts on marriage?

I wonder if I have to at this point in my life. Now, the wedding seems pointless. You can live with love if you have a decent person in your life. What is better is eating nice things, sharing good things, and conversing. It is unsettling to consider someone residing in the same home. Comfortable living alone already. It would be good to have a lover who is also a trustworthy friend who values the other person. Even now, if someone's heart beats, I have no idea what will happen.

 

Q. It's been stated that you are well-known for your love of BTS and SHINee.

- It's crucial to be a fan. I listen to music because I enjoy it. I also enjoy listening to songs by my idols. Doesn't that slow down the aging process? Every time I see that I am motivated and inspired by an artist.
