Poster released for Birth of the Rich

The poster is out for KBS’s Birth of the Rich [부자의 탄생] and, as one may have guessed, the main theme of the drama is money. Similar to how its timeslot predecessor God of Study incorporates studying techniques, Birth of the Rich promises to show viewers secrets and methods for earning money.

The poster features, clockwise from top left: Lee Bo-young (More Than Blue), Ji Hyun-woo (Invincible Lee Pyeong-gang), Lee Shi-young (Loving You a Thousand Times), and Namgoong Min (Beautiful Sunday).

Ji Hyun-woo is a young man who lives in a rented rooftop apartment, and diligently studies how to be a chaebol heir. He believes he is the son of a chaebol father and will one day meet him and take his rightful place as successor, although it’s not clear yet whether his belief is grounded in truth. For now, he’s called a “chaebol-in-name-only.”

Lee Bo-young, meanwhile, is an actual chaebol heiress who stands to inherit 400 billion won. However, she’s thrifty with her money and just spends enough to get by, opting to drink cheap vending-machine coffee and saving her pennies.

The drama’s “upper-class prince” character is played by Namgoong Min — the perfect young man whom girls dream of marrying in Cinderella fantasies. Lee Shi-young completes the main cast as another chaebol heiress, a Korean Paris Hilton.

The producers don’t merely intend to show the lifestyles of the wealthy, but will also inject laughs as one man struggles along the path to riches. The comic drama is built on the theme that “Wealth isn’t acquired through blood but through hard work.” It’s probably not going to be a very realistic guide to making money, but as with God of Study, it looks like it’ll strive for an aspirational tone.

Birth of the Rich premieres on March 1.

NAM. GOONG. MIN.

Oh my god, SO FREAKING EXCITED. He was the only redeeming thing about that awful Gong Yoo/Sung Yuri vehicle One Fine Day.. I watched his scenes over and over again, despite how much I hated the drama. He's gorgeous, has an amazing deep voice (GUH), and is a fantastic actor.

FHDJKGSDFHKSFKLJDHKFJHKS. DO WANT.

Words cannot describe my joy right now.

Man, this is the so formulaic. You can predict the story and ending miles away.. even some of the so-called wacky situations.

Nam Goong-min is gorgeous though.

Wheee! Nam Goong Min is finally back~ I have a soft spot for him, but he never really seemed to have struck it big? BTW, his last name is Nam Goong, so shouldn't his name be spelled like Sun Woo Sun's, without a hyphen between Goong and Min?

Not too thrilled about the cast except for Namgoong Min. He was alright in One Fine Day and I found his acting style somewhat similar to Kim Rae-won. Liked his voice too.

Do they want to see if anyone cares [aka will garner ratings] about the lifestyles of the wealthy to introduce a reality show about spoiled rich young people???

I LOVE JI HYUN WOO!
so glad he appears on tv so frequently these days,
but also anxious he might be expected to get enrolled in the army...
_/_/_/_/_/
As 11 and 12 say, I believe "Nam-Goong" is the last name.
Nam Goong-min -> Nam-Goong Min
2 Character surnames are quite rare in Korea, but there are 10-20 of them.

Was I the only one who thought Nam Goong-min was Hyun Bin for a split second in that photo?

Oh well.. I like Nam Goong-min too~
He was in a few roles I really liked. In One Fine Day, I almost wanted him to win his love.

The rest is the cast is meh (for me). I've always been bored with Lee Bo Young... :/

Sounds interesting. Will probably watch this for Lee Bo-young (Seo Dong Yo), Ji Hyun-woo (Invincible Lee Pyeong-gang), Lee Shi-young (Boys Over Flowers). These are the shows where I got to know 3 of these actors. Haven't seen anything from the 2nd prince yet.

Lee Bo Young also starred in Save The Last Dance but I hated her character there and only started liking her as an actress after being Princess Seonhwa from SDY. Ji Hyun Woo is hella funny as the spoiled brat in Pyung Kang. And Lee Shi Young is perfect as Sakurako's role in Boys Over Flowers.

Something to tie me over from waiting impatiently for Cinderella's Sister and Personal Taste to be released.

Thanks goldlilys.. i really was digging my brain, i could not remember where i have seen Lee Bo Young... Now i rem'ber it is 'Save The Last Dance'

I actually like the story line..It very typical K drama.. and i love typical K drama, and i like Ji Hyun-woo, in My sweet seoul.

But the timing of its airing will be little problematic. Am sure this will be at the back end in my list when it air.. It March..we are gonna have Chindrealla Sister, Personal Taste and Prosecutor Mata Hari..
