    Reborn Rich ending explained as fans compare K-drama & webtoon’s finale

    K-drama Reborn Rich aired its final episode 16 on December 25 and fans were left with more questions than answers. The last two episodes of the popular K-drama deviated from the main webtoon/ novel’s conclusion and here’s the ending of Reborn Rich explained.

    Starring South Korea’s top actor Song Joong Ki, JTBC’s Reborn Rich made K-drama history garnering epic viewership and becoming the most-watched drama in the home country. Over five episodes of the drama crossed 20%+ viewership in the Nielsen Korea chart which very few dramas over the years have been able to get.

    After a legendary run, the drama aired an open ending prompting mixed reactions from the viewers.

    K-drama Reborn Rich ending explained

    The ending of Reborn Rich is making all the buzz as it differs quite a bit from the webtoon one. Before we take a look at the webtoon’s ending, let’s quickly recap what happens in the episode 16 finale.

    In episode 16 of Reborn Rich, viewers watch Hyun Woo (Dojun’s first self) wake up in a hospital as he finds out that he was saved after getting shot in the head and thrown off the cliff.

    So as per Hyun Woo’s story, he was unconscious for an entire week and has lived as Do Jun for seventeen years.

    Hyun Woo asks himself, why the universe made him live as Do Jun, the youngest grandson of Soonyang.

    The answer comes easily to viewers. Hyun Woo had to live Do Jun’s short-lived life because he was the accomplice in the latter’s murder. So years later when he was also attacked by the same Soonyang family, the Universe gave him a chance at repentance by making him live as Do Jun.

    Hyun Woo/ Do Jun’s revenge

    The main plot of Reborn Rich was revenge but the arc of revenge changed dramatically in the last two episodes of the K-drama. Initially, when Hyun Woo woke up as Do Jun and was living his life, he wanted to take revenge for his past life (Hyun Woo).

    But as nobody can change the major incidents and Do Jun had to die as well, Hyun Woo woke up and chose to take revenge for Do Jun’s death as well as put an end to the corrupt powerplay of the Soonyang family who has been the culprit for Do Jun and Hyun Woo’s unfortunate fate.

    Hyun Woo and Min Young

    Do Jun and Min Young’s love story also end on an open note as Min Young is still mourning the former. The grim reaper of Soonyang saved Hyun Woo and helped him win the case against the family, getting justice for Do Jun’s death which was a direct order from the oldest son of Jin Yang Cheol, Young Ki.

    Twenty years after Do Jun’s death, Min Young found peace when Hyun Woo helped her get justice. But even with Do Jun’s memory intact, Hyun Woo does not directly pursue Min Young, rather repeats the same line that he had once said as Do Jun.

    Our lead couple stares at Seo Taji at the same place where once Do Jun and Min Young had shared a kiss. While the ending did not show anything starting between the two, viewers can hope that fate will keep bringing Min Young and Hyun woo together, and eventually, they will find their way to each other.

    Hyun Woo’s future

    Hyun Woo has lived as Do Jun for seventeen years and now he knows what he wants to do in the future. In episode 16, Hyun Woo joins Miracle Investment. With the help of deputy Oh, Hyun Woo puts an end to the management rights solely owned by the Soonyang family who has caused enough bloodbaths to ensure their positions remain at the top.

    While Do Jun, the young and bright grandson of Soonyang dies, Hyun Woo takes the lifelong lesson of living as Do Jun to be his guiding light in the future.

    Reborn Rich webtoon ending and how it differs from the drama

    The ending of the webtoon and novel is fairly different from the drama. In the novel, Do Jun mourns the death of his previous self Hyun Woo and takes his revenge against Soonyang, fair and square.

    He leads the Soonyang group and even marries Min Young. In the last scene, Do Jun visits where Hyun Woo’s life ended to pay respect to his previous life.

    Fans react to Reborn Rich finale

    Reborn Rich finale has sparked mixed reactions from fans as many were rooting for Do Jun’s happy ending with Min Young and his succession as the youngest chairman of the Soonyang group.

    So the ending was welcome by some while others demanded justice for Do Jun.

    One such fan mourned, “I personally can’t accept Hyunwoo and Min Yeong being endgame. It should have been Do Jun with his happy ending. Do Jun should have been the one to personally finish Soonyang.”

     

     

    Review

    From a brief lesson on South Korean modern history to a complicated story of identities in a world where money rules, Reborn Rich has delivered a stellar plot managing to bring out the complexities of life to perfection.

    Reborn Rich transcended beyond the realms of period drama and made the viewers live a parallel life of Do Jun and Hyun Woo, the conflicting stories of their different identities, and ultimately see a winner who can restore justice against corruption.

    Along with its strong plot, Song Joong Ki, Lee Sung Min, and the rest of the cast portray the characters to perfection making it a really enriching watch.

    History buffs to philomaths, Reborn Rich will not disappoint those who crave a complex plot with a deeper meaning and we say, it goes in the must-watch list of K-dramas.

    “Reborn Rich” started well but ended with a bad ending, viewers react “We trusted the writer too much”

    Viewers poured out disappointment over the unreasonable ending of “Reborn Rich”.

    The ending, which was highly anticipated, eventually ruined the previous 15 episodes. “Reborn Rich” faced the same result as MBC’s “Big Mouth”, which was criticized for being too greedy. 

    n the last episode of “Reborn Rich”, which aired on December 25th, Yoon Hyun Woo (Song Joong Ki) returned to reality after dying as Jin Do Joon and took away Sunyang management rights from Sunyang brothers. Being scouted by CEO Oh (Park Hyuk Kwon) Hyun Woo then joined Miracle Investment and ended up being portrayed as the main character in chaebol reform.

    Episode 16, which was extended by 30 minutes for PPL, received criticism due to its absurd development and ending that couldn’t meet viewers’ expectations. Around 70% of the audience disagreed with how “Reborn Rich” ended. Contrary to viewers’ desire for a satisfying revenge planned by the male lead in his second life, the drama wrapped with an open ending. Some even complained that the writer should have jumped from episode 1 to episode 16 and turned the drama into a two-part series.

    The fact that the original work was so well-received, the writer of the drama version was stuck. She had to show her imagination and made changes to the story to somehow surpass the original work and come up with a wonderful ending that viewers would remember for a long time. However, the audience had started to worry about the ending ever since Do Joon proposed to Min Young (Shin Hyun Been) in episode 15 by predicting the silver medal of weightlifter Jang Mi Ran.

    Apart from the dump truck accident scene that was used twice, the line “What will happen happens anyway” was emphasized several times and led to the fact that Jin Do Joon dies in vain and Yoon Hyun Woo returns to the reality of 20 years later. That’s where the writer’s reckless decision began. Viewers’ interest in Hyun Woo suddenly halved as details were inconsistent and not properly covered.

    Hyun Woo, who was shot in the head, wakes up after a week, and 700 billion won in slush funds, which had been donated, is used by Jin Sung Joon and his wife to increase their stakes in Sunyang C&T. In addition, Hyun Woo has no memory of ‘4-2 Jin Do Joon’ but he was found to be an accomplice in the car accident 20 years ago and even recorded the proof with a 2G phone. The USB, which has been stored in a pot for 20 years, is finally presented as decisive evidence at the hearing to overturn the game.

    Chairman Jin Yang Chul has repeatedly stressed, “Don’t trust anyone”, but viewers seem to have trusted “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” writer too much. As she turned “the youngest son of a Conglomerate” into “the first son of a rice soup store family” and ruined the whole well-made 15 episodes with such a vain ending, what will happen to the stock price of RaemongRaein, the production company of “Reborn Rich”?

    Seo Minyoung is 46 years old... they met at college in their 20s, in 1996, now is 2022, 26 years passed. 26 years and she still remembers the words he told her the first day they meet. She still loves him... but even if  she found peace i feel so sad...heartbreaking...i'm a romantic i liked the novel ending more. Where Dojun marry Minyoung and become the chairman of Soonyang. Then he travel to the place where HW died and held a funeral for him...

    Some of us viewers feel lost because we spend 15 episodes rooting for Do Jun. HW is still a stranger for us at this point.

    He'll get SY by his own efforts because he's JCY's grandson who's most like him. The man started SY from scratch, DJ will acquire it himself. He will be like his grandpa, heads the family, and his uncles and cousins will defer to him.

    JTBC PR Team Gives Some Spoilers about 'Reborn Rich' Ending, Says It will Be Different from the Webtoon

     

    With only two episodes left until the series finale, insiders have shared big spoilers about 'Reborn Rich'!

     

    A lot of people are curious about the ending of the current hottest drama 'Reborn Rich' but even on December 21st, the five members of the JTBC PR team revealed that even they only had the footage up to the 15th episode. One team member said, "I've got a lot of inquiries about the ending, including from my family members, acquaintances, and even fellow broadcasting staff, but we also haven't seen the final episode yet, so we don't know the ending."

     

    From the staff, however, Korean media managed to hear some spoilers about the ending. First, the drama will go differently from the original novel. In the original webtoon, Dojun (Song Joongki) marries Seo Minyoung (Shin Hyunbin) and inherited the Sunyang group. He then visits the cliff where he was killed and holds a memorial service in honor of Yoon Hyunwoo. It ends with good wins against evil concept by sending the villain who killed him to prison.

    However, insiders have said that writer Kim Taehee will choose an open ending that still will not deviate significantly from the original work. The rumor is, in the drama, Dojun's revenge is pretty much successful but it will not show in detail if he indeed takes over the entire Sunyang group or whether all the villains meet their unfortunate fate in the end.

     

    Another huge spoiler is that an unexpected ending is coming that will break everyone's expectations. In this regard, an insider said, "A highly predictable ending was not an option from the beginning. There’s a big twist on the way."

     

    Another official added, "In the drama, Dojun and Minyoung will have a happy ending, but they won't get married." Regarding the love line between the two which received great criticism from viewers, this person said, "I agree to some extent that the love line breaks the flow of the drama. However, as the second half of the script was not completed when they started filming, the narrative was a little tangled, and there was the unfortunate incident in which some scenes that would've built their chemistry better were being cut out."

    https://gstarlive.com/news/29799

     

    What are your guesses for the drama's ending?

     

    -i hope takes over the entire Sunyang (with his money not his grandad money)

    -gets his revenge

    -Dojun and Minyoung will have a happy ending(hope he gives her the ring even if there will be no wedding scene)

     

    i wonder about the big twist on the way...i hope is not the real Dj the one that killed HW or him beeing killed again going back to his world at the party moment /on the moment he met Minyoung...and make sure that evil familly pay...i like him more as Jin Do Joon...
