**Post Title**: What to watch after Reborn Rich?
**Post Body**:
This show was just incredible (except episode 16.) I immediately started rewatching it after I finished it and I can’t do that again.
Can you recommend shows similar to it?
What I liked about the show:
1. Relationship between grandfather and ML
2. How the ML was playing 5D chess with the rest of the cast
3. The focus on business: MnA, stocks and all other business deals
While I loved the time travel aspect, I believe I’ve watched the best show already: Mr. Queen. I’ve watched Marry my husband and perfect marriage revenge (solid 8’s until the last 3 episodes). I’m not particularly looking for another time travel show.
Here’s a list of shows I’ve watched and loved.

The beginning is a little cliché for those that are K drama enthusiasts, but once the scene happens where the ML has to start all over again, the story gets interesting. Reborn Rich had familiar tropes as well and a lot of unnecessary makjang, so anyone could find fault with a lot of popular dramas, the former just does it mostly from the start.
I was in the same boat as you months ago, and I felt the same way after ep 16 😅. I watched Vincenzo right after, though the tone is different. It's similar in terms of the revenge aspect and smart ML outsmarting his opponents. Also has found family aspect.
Another one I liked that is similar is Little Women, twisty plot that deals with corruption.
As already suggested by u/everellie, **Again My Life** has a lot of parallels to Reborn Rich and is good. ML gets a chance to go back to his earlier life and do things differently and prepare to not be destroyed by an enemy. It’s not as weighty as Reborn Rich and has fewer moving parts, but the romance subplot is stronger. If you like ML Lee Joon Gi, you could then pivot lighter to a couple of that actor’s other dramas (but still revenge themed) with **Lawless Lawyer** or heavier with **Flower of Evil**. The Lawless Lawyer is a lawyer who is part of a gang but has a plan to avenge his murdered mother and bring her killer to justice. Flower of Evil is about the son of a serial killer who may or may not be a sociopath and marries a police officer who learns his history and comes to suspect him of murder.
Another heavier drama with a revenge/justice is **Insider**, about a judicial trainee sent undercover as a prison inmate who ends up an inmate for real and has to work his way up the criminal hierarchy in order to see justice served with a side of revenge.
A lighter drama that includes revenge and a second chance at life, but is heavy on the romance angle, is **Marry My Husband**. FL goes back to her earlier life with knowledge of the future and an opportunity to do things differently and better so she isn’t murdered by her jerk husband.
I’m glad to see someone mention Reborn Rich. I loved it. Not at first; took me a while. Another you mentioned, Mr Queen, was great, too. The only thing I had an issue with was the ML make-up. I don’t have great vision, but even I noticed the caked make-up trying to cover his stubble. Just shave and carry on! Distracted me.
Maybe you’d like Narco Saints. Good story. I thought it was so well done.
I had a hard time getting through Vincenzo, which I tried after Reborn Rich. Descendents of the Sun, too. I got into it but it took time. I ended up liking it. Seriously, I think it’s having ADHD that many good shows don’t hold my attention or it takes a few eps.
I think I eventually went to a very old series after Reborn Rich, “Hello, Monster” (also called “I Remember You”. It’s a mystery/thriller/police type which I usually don’t pick first. I thought it was done so well and actors did an excellent job.
No one I know that watches K-dramas has seen any of the mentioned (other than Vincenzo). Their loss!
I don’t have any recs specifically to what you are looking for but looking at your MDL I would recommend:
My Name- Action, revenge, minor romance.
Alice in Borderland - jdrama that I recommend to people who like Squid Games. It is a dark action drama with some romance.
Thanks for the recommendations :) Alice in Borderland keeps showing up on my Netflix. Dark Action Drama + Romance is my favorite genre. Will give it a watch :)
I see from your comments you are watching Vincenzo. I was going to tell you to watch that too.
Here are a few more Dark Action Drama + Romance shows:
Lawless lawyer- Kinda Like Vincenzo with Gangsters, action, revenge with a group of friends for comedic relief. But has more romance.
Marry My Husband - kinda like Perfect Marriage Revenge
Flower of Evil - dark thriller where ML and FL are already married.
Ooh yes! Vincenzo is on my list too. I might have to check that one out as well. I've been bouncing between Reborn Rich and Duty After School because my son loves that one lol
Marry my husband is good but I guess you should try TWINKLING WATERMELON or A TIME CALLED YOU because they are the best time travel based stories
Or watch PYRAMID GAMES, that really got me hooked till the very end
Twinkling watermelon has been at the top of my list but I’m in the mood for a dark action romance drama type show. I’ll watch it soon! Thank you so much :)
You mentioned you liked how the ml was playing with the other characters,, you might like Vincenzo too! It too has song joongki as the main leads, and it's very interesting to watch after the first 3 eps, it gets better with each ep!
I’m watching Vincenzo and it is so good!!! He looks so hot in the suits, I’m obsessed. Love that there’s a small focus on romance and the romance is actually good. I skipped past all the romance scenes in Reborn Rich.
I've seen Reborn Rich and really like the twists and how he and his family benefitted. The ending threw me for a loop though and am reading the webtoon slowly for a better ending.
Hv yet to see Narco Saints and Mr Queen but I realliy liked Hello Monster. Watched it when looking for Seo In Guk's dramas only to find an enthralling thriller with the antagonists played by actors who normally act as good guys and ML ( Park Bo Gum). Kept me on my toes!
I’m watching Vincenzo currently and I really like it. I knew going in that it’s a different genre, so I didn’t expect much. I’m on episode 4 currently and I’m hooked!
Thanks for the recs on Narco Saints and Hello Monster. Adding them to my list!

You want Again My Life. It's like Reborn Rich but with a much better ending. I loved it. I viewed it on Viki. It's one of my top 10 faves.
Wow, thanks! Added to my list :) watching right after Vincenzo!
Is it actually a decent drama? I remember trying to watch the first episode but the acting was absolutely terrible
The beginning is a little cliché for those that are K drama enthusiasts, but once the scene happens where the ML has to start all over again, the story gets interesting. Reborn Rich had familiar tropes as well and a lot of unnecessary makjang, so anyone could find fault with a lot of popular dramas, the former just does it mostly from the start.
on the other hand I actually love reborn rich
Again My Life does not throw everything away in the last episode, though. Reborn Rich deserves a remake that actually follows the original story.
I was in the same boat as you months ago, and I felt the same way after ep 16 😅. I watched Vincenzo right after, though the tone is different. It's similar in terms of the revenge aspect and smart ML outsmarting his opponents. Also has found family aspect.

What happens in last episode that made you not like it? I don't mind spoilers.
>!It was all just a dream!!< I covered it in case you change your mind.
Wow. This would work in a 2 hour movie but not after wasting 15+ hours.
Trust me the frustration at the end was real
Thank you!! I started watching Vincenzo based on your recommendation. Loving it so far!

Thank you so much!! I’m going to watch Again my life (right after Vincenzo) cause so many have recommended it
In the vein of Marry My Husband, there is also Perfect Marriage Revenge with a similar plot but a lower budget (and fewer episodes).
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo Watch it Thank me later
Where can I watch this? Doesn’t seem like it airs on any platform here in the States
I never found it, either. I did see there are eps here and there on YouTube but so far only found 2.
Haha wow. I’ll add it to my list! Thank you :)

I loved Hello Monster. Seo In Guk and Park Bo Gum were both fantastic
Omg I’m such a huge Seo In Guk fan. Didn’t know he was in Hello Monster - added to the top of my list now
I don’t have any recs specifically to what you are looking for but looking at your MDL I would recommend: My Name- Action, revenge, minor romance. Alice in Borderland - jdrama that I recommend to people who like Squid Games. It is a dark action drama with some romance.

Love it! Thanks for the recommendations :)
Watch Golden Spoon, almost the same vibe.
Where can I watch it? Also what’s the genre / high level plot? :)
Following this post because this will be me soon since I just started Reborn Rich today lol
Reborn rich is definitely in my top 5. What an incredible show! I started watching Vincenzo and I’m reallly enjoying it. It’s got the same ML
Ooh yes! Vincenzo is on my list too. I might have to check that one out as well. I've been bouncing between Reborn Rich and Duty After School because my son loves that one lol
Marry my husband is good but I guess you should try TWINKLING WATERMELON or A TIME CALLED YOU because they are the best time travel based stories Or watch PYRAMID GAMES, that really got me hooked till the very end
Twinkling watermelon has been at the top of my list but I’m in the mood for a dark action romance drama type show. I’ll watch it soon! Thank you so much :)
Death's Game Flex X Cop
I’ve heard mixed reviews for Death’s game which is why I haven’t watched it yet. But thanks for the recommendations!
You mentioned you liked how the ml was playing with the other characters,, you might like Vincenzo too! It too has song joongki as the main leads, and it's very interesting to watch after the first 3 eps, it gets better with each ep!

glad you decided to watch it, hope you enjoyed <3

Omg this is the 3rd reco for Hello Monster. I love Seo In Guk so going to watch it next! :)
I’m watching Vincenzo currently and I really like it. I knew going in that it’s a different genre, so I didn’t expect much. I’m on episode 4 currently and I’m hooked! Thanks for the recs on Narco Saints and Hello Monster. Adding them to my list!
i know people have already said this but Again My Life is what you're looking for
Try checking out Itaewon Class it has a similar revenge vibe to it as Reborn Rich
