'Reborn Rich' Viewership & What to Expect in the Upcoming Finale

Following the release of its latest episode, "Reborn Rich" episode 14 hit a massive achievement after beating "SKY Castle" in viewership rating.

In a report, Song Joong Ki's drama rose to 24.93 percent for its nationwide average viewership, marking the show's highest rating yet for the entire run.

Interestingly, the fourteenth episode surpasses the reign of "SKY Castle" as the second-highest ratings in cable TV history.

With the "Reborn Rich" new achievement, people are curious if Song Joong Ki's drama will beat the reigning top highest-rated drama in cable TV history which is "The World of the Married" starring Kim Hee Ae, Park Hae Joon and Han So Hee.

As for the drama's finale, viewers are torn as to whether the series will have a different ending from the original.

Since "Reborn Rich" is based on the web novel "The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate," the original depicts Jin Do Joon visiting the place where Yoon Hyun Woo was killed showing how he succeeded in his revenge.

However, viewers are wondering if the show will illustrate a different ending than the original.

Meanwhile, others believe that the finale episode will feature Jin Do Joon's death and will not avoid his tragic fate.

In the drama, Song Joong Ki plays the dual role of Yoon Hyun Woo, a Sunyang employee who was killed and framed for embezzlement but was reborn as Jin Do Joon the third-generation chaebol.

He becomes the youngest grandson of Sunyang's founder Jin Yang Chul, played by Lee Sung Min.
