On the 25th, the drama "Reborn Rich" came to an end. A secretary who oversees the owner's risk for the owner's family returns as the youngest son of a chaebol family in the fantasy drama "Reborn Rich" and leads a second life.

On December 25 of last year, the last show concluded with the greatest viewership rating of 26.9 percent (Nilson Korea nationwide). I thought it would be lovely if the viewing rating exceeded 20%, but it's amazing and I feel good, Kim Shin-rok said when she met with reporters after the show. She was dressed modestly, unlike the flamboyant Jin Hwa-young in the play.

In the JTBC drama "Reborn Rich," which finished on the 25th, Kim Shin-rok portrayed the prominent daughter Jin Hwa-young of Jin Yang-chul (played by Lee Sung-min). She attracted attention for her exceptional chemistry with her husband Choi Chang-je (played by Kim Do-hyun). In addition, the youngest daughter of a chaebol family grabbed attention with her father's adorable appearance, just like any other youngest daughter, in addition to her exquisite and charismatic appearance.

For Kim Shin-rok, 2022 is likely to go down in history as a year to remember. The "Reborn Rich" had such a significant Jin Hwa-young influence that it was referred to as "Kim Shin-rok did Kim Shin-rok." She also battles against being demoted in the succession hierarchy because she is a woman among the three siblings, but she is also trying hard to hate, completing an attractive character. 

The character was vivid as a person with dark eye makeup and vibrant outfits. She is the daughter of Jin Yang-cheol (Lee Sung-min), the founder of Sunyangga, a chaebol dynasty, and declares, "I am not a garnish, but a main dish." She provided her subordinates with a great power trip, her father with a splendid indulgence, and her husband with a splendid push and pull.

Everyone is in awe of Kim Shin-rok, the actor, is the source of all of this. What kind of character is Kim Shin-rok, then?

4. ‘Reborn Rich’ Interview

The character of Jin Hwa-young, a martyr's daughter, was played by Kim Shin-rok. Jin Hwa-young is a temperamental and haughty individual who married a lowly goshi student but continues to reside under the protection of pure sheep. She fights valiantly to defend her rice bowl despite being moved back in the succession system since she is a daughter. As a character who was sincere rather than just hateful in the face of her desire, she attracted a lot of attention from spectators.

Kim Shin-rok made an effort to impersonate Jin Hwa-young. She considered styling and cosmetics to reflect the image of a chaebol woman at the time in addition to analyzing Jin Hwa-concentration young's on "desire." Along with studying each character's relationship, she incorporated it into her performance and occasionally added ad-libs to give the characters more depth. As a result, Jin Hwa-young could be depicted in the play in a more three-dimensional way.

 

Q. Oh Ji-hwa from "The Host" and Park Jung-ja from "Hell" is not the same person as Jin Hwa-young. Did trying a new character cause you any anxiety?

Never. As I accepted an award for my appearance in "Hell," I had the impression that I had done my study. After the "chaebol house" went smoothly, I filmed without having high expectations, but I didn't even realize I had homework, even though I had the impression that I had already completed one. (laughs)

 

Q. Do you like how Jin Hwa-young's story ends in the play?

Even when the department store was taken away, Jin Hwa-young was converted to continue living as a politician's wife. She had a happy marriage while her hubby was still evolving. Knowing that the author cared about each character and did her best to keep them alive till the very end makes me very happy. Each performer felt valued.

 

Q. What kind of employment awaits the "Reborn Rich"?

Reborn Rich became the work that instilled expectations and faith that I could continue to develop as an actor, but "Hell" was the work that began the second act of my acting career. I was lucky that a good piece of work rolled into me.

 

Q. I'm interested in the future job schedule. Are there any particular genres or characters you'd like to play?

Seasons 2 and 3 of the Netflix original "Sweet Home" will feature me. I've always played characters in unique circumstances, but now I want to be in a role that makes an otherwise regular person feel exceptional. Next year's work is something I'm looking forward to. (Miso) In addition, I want to actively participate in a variety of projects across all media and develop into an actor who is not afraid to take on new challenges in the future.
