What We Think

‘Reborn Rich’ is refreshingly non-woke, driven by classic storylines of family, ambition, and corporate rivalry. It keeps identity politics on the sidelines, favoring good old-fashioned drama and moral ambiguity.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The series largely focuses on revenge and corporate intrigue, sticking closely to character motivations and traditional drama rather than identity politics. Diversity was not shoehorned in, and characters are developed based on their roles in business and family power struggles rather than modern ideological checkboxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Reborn Rich’ explores themes of family, legacy, loyalty, and ambition, set firmly within a South Korean context where tradition and filial duty are central. There's no noticeable agenda to undermine religion, family, or masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The drama presents diverse viewpoints within the family and corporate spheres. There is no evident effort to villainize traditional perspectives or force contemporary Western ideological conformity. Characters wrestle with personal and cultural conflicts, presenting a pluralistic narrative.
