* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The series BlackSheep: Do-Joon's father, Yoon-Ki, is known the only son who didn't pursue a career in business like his other brothers and sister, instead moving towards art and entertainment, and marrying someone from the same industry, all against his father's wishes. He and his family are the only non-villainous members of the Soonyang family, as "The Chaebol's Youngest Son" in South Korea, but it's translated to "Reborn Rich" in English markets.they are far from the SuccessionCrisis the other members of the family are participating in.



* RetroactivePrecognition:
** Hyun-Woo (as Do-Joon) has knowledge of everything that is happening and going to happen ever since he went back in time and exploits this by getting closer to his grandfather and becoming his favorite family member after his grandfather ignored Do-Joon's family and they became estranged from him.
** He saved his grandfather from riding on an airplane that was gonna get bombed by North Korean agents and from now onwards his grandfather listens to his business advice.
** Do-Joon informs Min-Yeong that Seo Taiji, a member of the boy band Seo Taiji and Boys', will come back again in 2000, which she didn't believe as it took four years for that to happen.
--->'''Min-Yeong:''' You told me that, [[DramaticIrony looking like you knew everything just like now]].
** Do-Joon advises his father who works in the entertainment industry to invest in the movie Film/{{Titanic|1997}} because it'd be very successful and that's exactly what happens.



* ShoutOut:
** Music/{{BTS}} is alluded to when Do-Joon, his older brother, and their father are discussing how difficult it is for non-English international films to win in the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward, and Do-Joon's brother showcases how impossible the feat is by adding, "If that day comes, a Korean song might even reach Billboard’s Top 100." And BTS was the first Korean act to top Billboard's charts in reality, which is why Do-Joon gives his brother a knowing look.
*** This includes an implied reference to Korean movie ''Film/{{Parasite|2019}}'', which won four awards in 2020.
** A ''Film/Titanic1997'' poster appears in the series as Do-Joon and his father are discussing the movie, and Do-Joon, knowing the movie will become massively successful, recommends the movie to his father to invest in, much to his father's surprise.
** Min-Yeong is a big fan of {{Kpop}} band Music/SeoTaijiAndBoys and is disappointed when thy disband but Do-Joon promises her that member Seo Taiji will comeback after four years, which is what he did in real life too.



* ThickerThanWater: Inverted and this is the message that the show wants to send that sometimes real family aren't the ones who are tied by blood. Even though Do-Joon is planning to crush "his grandfather" Yang-Cheol as the owner of Soonyang Group and take over his company, Do-Joon isn't part of the family, but he displays concern much more than his own blood family. [[spoiler:Even Yang-Cheol's wife played a hand in harming him just so Do-Joon won't inherit the company. This knowledge causes Yang-Cheol to lose it completely and favor Do-Joon than his other family members.]]

* WorkInfoTitle: The English title explains the premise in short, the protagonist gets reincarnated again but as a wealthy person, implying that he was poor in his previous life. While the original translated Korean title makes it clear that the story is about Hyun-Woo after he becomes the youngest grandson of a conglomerate.

The story is about Yoon Hyun-Woo, (played by Creator/SongJoongKi), the poor, yet hardworking and loyal, longtime employee of the Soonyang Conglomerate, the largest corporation in Korea.

One day, he's betrayed by the Soonyang family who murder him overseas to cover up a tax evasion scheme by making it look like suicide. The next thing Hyun-Woo knows is that he's in the body of the family's youngest grandson Jin Do-Joon as he went back in time as a child to the 1980s. With his new life and identity, he uses his knowledge of (now) future events and wisdom to plot his revenge against the Soonyang Group family and take over the company. In doing so, he now has to overthrow the ruthless and money-hungry CEO of Sunyang Group, his grandfather Jin Yang-Cheol. Will his revenge succeed and things go as Do-Joon plans? Can Do-Joon change the past?
