Song Joong-ki, a South Korean actor, admitted to experiencing a range of emotions following the conclusion of his drama Reborn Rich. The final episode of the hugely popular show aired on December 25, 2022.
In an interview with MyDaily, the actor reflected on his journey and admitted that he was "experiencing a variety of feelings" while wrapping up the show. He said:
"I am reminded of the day I first read the script for the first time to the day of the last filming."
He added:
"I was particularly grateful that people were able to understand and communicate with their family and friends through 'Reborn Rich' as a topic. I thank all the actors and the staff members for working diligently for such meaningful and valuable work."
The actor also expressed his gratitude to the viewers for the love the drama has been receiving since it was released on November 18, 2022.
Song Joong-ki starrer Reborn Rich becomes the second-highest-rated drama of all time
Reborn Rich is a fantasy revenge drama that follows the story of Yoon Hyun-woo (Song Joong-ki), a wealthy family's secretary who is killed and reincarnated as the family's youngest son Jin Do Joon.
The final episode received a nationwide rating of 26.9 percent, a new high for the series, which has consistently broken viewership records since its debut.
The previous episodes of the show crossed the ratings of the 2022 viral drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo and most recently overtook the 2018 mega-hit drama SKY Castle to cement its place among the top-rated dramas in Korean history.
The finale ratings were the second highest rating ever achieved by a drama on Korean television, bested only by The World of the Married, a 2020 JTBC drama that scored 28.4 percent.
In addition to the show's popularity, Song Joong-ki and other cast members occupied six out of the top ten spots on the most buzzworthy cast members list for the week ending December 25, 2022.

"Actor Song Joong Ki is currently seeing a woman with positive feelings. We hope that you will look warmly upon their relationship."
While the identity of his partner was not disclosed in the statement, it is widely believed that he is dating a British non-celebrity. The agency added:
