Among the actors and actresses who spiced up the show, Tiffany, originally a K-pop idol, received attention for her small-screen debut as a support role. Tiffany first appeared in the third episode as Rachel, a daughter of a Korean-American conglomerate family residing in San Francisco, U.S.

Tiffany's acting career started with musicals. She appeared on the stage of the musical "Fame" in 2011, and returned to the audience with "Chicago" last year, 10 years after that. This is her first time appearing in a drama.

Due to this, expectations for her acting skills aren't high, but she eventually stood out for her impressive expressions and unique tone that perfectly portrayed the setting of a Korean-American.

She was also applauded by internet users because Tiffany's acting skills made viewers feel like they are watching an American drama.

• "She's good."
• "She's new? Her acting skills suit the role."
• "I love Rachel's (Tiffany) fashion and personality."

Here's REASON Viewers Raised Brows Against SNSD Tiffany's Acting Skills

Despite the positive feedback, there are some viewers who are not satisfied with Tiffany's performance and provided criticism as they believed there's still room for improvement.

Insight wrote:

"Rather than melting into the play, there is a strong feeling that "Tiffany of Girls' Generation is acting." To be perceived as Tiffany, not Rachel. There are some long lines in Korean because she plays the role of competent secretary, but the poor delivery power is also a negative factor."

Just like Rachel, Tiffany Young, is also a Korean-American, who speaks English and Korean. However, unlike her natural English, there was a response that the speaking part in Korean was awkward and stood out.

She received similar reviews in the last five episodes. Analysts say that the Korean language itself was awkward in the scene of talking to Song Joong Ki.

Some commented that Tiffany's Korean performance was disappointing, but since she's a rookie actress, fans are willing to wait and see her improvement in the succeeding episodes.

Attention is focused on whether she will be able to erase the criticism and see some progress from her.

Meanwhile, JTBC's "Reborn Rich" airs every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 10:30 p.m. KST.

Tiffany Young, who debuted as a member of Girls' Generation in 2007, signed with a paradigm talent agency in the U.S. after her contract with SM Entertainment expired in 2018. Currently, She is active in various fields, including musicals and various programs.
