according to k-media articles from august 2025, junyoung's role is a special appearance, but he's listed in the main credits now? hope we get more details soon!
the only similarities are the fantasy elements and the corporate settings, since the original novel author loves writing that. the plots are entirely different.
reborn rich's drama was different from the manhwa too, but it was still a good watch. i hope it's the same case…
oh yeah my bad, i got the terms mixed up. reborn rich's drama was overall different from the source material, so it's the same case for reborn rookie. i hope it's good because i did fairly enjoy reborn rich.
