However, later Hyun-woo finds himself reincarnated in 1987 into the body of Jin Do-jun, who is the youngest grandson of the Soonyang family. Using the fortunate circumstances to his advantage, he seeks his revenge by plotting a hostile takeover of the Soonyang Group.
International Fans Can Stream Reborn Rich On Viu Or Viki
While Reborn Rich is available on Netflix Korea, it isn’t yet streaming on Netflix US. The channel’s Twitter feed shared stills from the new drama informing viewers that they can watch it on Netflix Korea. Now, ever since this announcement, international viewers have been wondering when the show will head to Netflix US.
Although the series isn’t available on Netflix US, international viewers can still watch it with a subscription to Viki or Viu. However, there is a chance that it will head to Netflix US, albeit, it might take longer than expected.

For example, another popular Korean drama SKY Castle was initially broadcast in South Korea on November 23, 2018. The series wrapped up on February 1, 2019. Yet, it headed to Netflix US on March 1, 2022, three years after its finale.
Reborn Rich Could Stream Either On Netflix Or Disney+
As reported by What’s On Netflix, there is a big ongoing competition between Netflix and Disney+ for streaming rights. Given that in Korea both Netflix and Disney+ are streaming the show, there is a chance they will compete with one another for US streaming rights. Netflix has been streaming Korean titles for years. However, Disney+ has only recently started building its K-drama library.
