Becoming A Billionaire/The Birth Of The Rich
I don’t really watch all that much Korean drama, preferring the variety shows like Let’s Go Dream Team and 1N2D but there is one drama I look forward to each week titled Becoming A Billionaire/The Birth Of The Rich (부자의 탄생). The drama follows the story of a man, Choi Suk Bong, who believes that he is actually the son of a rich father and heir to a chaebol group (family business/conglomerate or something…).
