Reborn Rookie Episode 1

10 stars no question

What I like from ep 1:- All major characters from his right hand man, his second wife, his children and their spouse is already revealed- Everything is so fast paced, I especially like that the accident took in seconds rather than doing all kind of slowmo and multiple angle capture- Stellar acting from every cast. This is truly one of the foundation in what makes drama good. I like the twin jaekyung-jaesung chemistry. Also like the confrontation between hwang junhyeon and chairman kang. The scene after where junhyeon considering what to do really grips me.- The story from synopsis are already in ep 1 so looking forward to what new plot they would have in ep 2.
