Reborn Rookie Episode 2

Not just a pretty face

Loved the dynamics of this episode. When on the receiving side of the ‘apology’ check, Chairman Kang had better perspective of Hwang’s view. Watching his children dole out compensation in same manner made him see how patronizing and insulting it really is for recipient. The daughter was a surprise. Living away from the family was the best thing for her. She is her father’s daughter and tough as nails. She appears a people pleaser to gather intel because she wants the Kangs to pay for demoralizing her mother. Ironically, of the three children, she is the one that truly gives a damn about her father in spite of his ways. She is his mini me as their interactions are volatile and eye opening. It makes them continually re evaluate their bias to figure each other out. When he challenged her about liking his pretty face 😂🤣 I think viewers worried about romance can see this is father scrutinizing daughter. He doesn’t believe her capable and she thinks he is a compensation freeloader, but their skills complement nicely. He still has all the secrets of the chairman and she is learning from the underlings how things flow through the company. It was an emotional upheaval for him watching his own children try to kill him. He is right that is something he should not have known. But, now that he does, he is getting them back with no bloodline guarantee for the top chair and has hit the son’s slush fund companies. He needs to visit the gma for Hwang because they were so close. I was glad he took the time to see Hwang’s accomplishments and recognize that he needed to properly compensate him for the harm his family caused. I hope this is top medical care for his gma which is the only reason Hwang cared so much about soccer. It is her truest and now only memory of him. The story has a good pace and is interesting watching the family vs company dynamics. It will be fun watching him work with his daughter, tho for now she wants the company to fail too. I don’t know who the person is behind her, but I think the chairman knows him, and it seems there is a long standing grudge between them. Finding this very interesting and nice continuation of introducing characters and story.

Ep 2 just blows my mind

What I like from ep 2: SPOILER ALERT> the fact that he announced himself as the culprit and his backstory makes me amazed. I never would have thought it would go in that direction. And his backstory makes chairman kang character much more complex> hwang junhyeon wrote “give me Choiseong” in that cheque chairman gave. Fuck I still have goosebump thinking about it. And the character development in chairman kang is nice, with how he regret doing that to hwang. And the line “I never give cheque I can’t cash in” was so fire 🔥> I like that if one of the two dies, the other also dies. I think I’m seeing that for the first time in soul switch trope. Because usually this trope is for kind of laidback story so it’s nice to introduce serious consequences to the plot.> and lmao the comedy has started, I laughed so much when that team leader fell and doused himself in coffee> and the episode ends with another bomb, hwang already starts attacking the twins!!I’m so excited for next week!!!
