Song Joong Ki’s highest-rated drama since Vincenzo just got a green light for Season 2

There's an exciting update for K-drama lovers - Vincenzo star Song Joong Ki's hit drama Reborn Rich has finally been greenlit. The renewal announcement was made by Artist Company and Artist Studio, two entertainment companies that have teamed up for the first time on this project.

The Song Joong Ki drama tells the story of Yoon Hyun-woo, a man who serves as one of the most loyal and dedicated employees for the powerful Soonyang Group. It's a major family-owned conglomerate, or "Chaebol" as we call it in Korean. Despite giving it his all, Hyun-woo ends up getting betrayed, framed for tax fraud, and eventually murdered.

Then comes the most awaited supernatural twist in Reborn Rich, as Hyun-woo wakes up to find himself back in 1987. More shockingly, he is now in the body of Jin Do-jun, the youngest grandson of Jin Yang Cheol — the same Soonyang chairman whose family was responsible for his death.

Hyun-woo starts rewriting his fate with his ultimate goal being to settle the score with the ones responsible for his death. As the series progresses, Hyun-woo uses his future knowledge to outsmart his rivals and gradually take control of the Soonyang empire.

The show is one of Song Joong Ki's most acclaimed works, and also stands as the second highest-rated series in Korean cable television history. With the second chapter, the makers are aiming to garner global recognition for the story.
