Instantly hooked - you will be too!
For those who are conflicted about watching this (so far) excellently executed Comedy /Drama…., don’t be. THERE IS NO ROMANCE. **
Eight episodes in and all I can say is WOW! Lee Jun Young is perfect as 72 year-old Chairman Kang in Hwang Jun Hyeon’s 20-something body. There is no question that we are watching old Chairman Kang in action. LJU is just that convincing embodying Kang’s entire personae right down to his furrowed brow, incredulous stares, outbursts of anger, aand raspy, older man’s voice. The supporting cast is equally great, especially the main villain who is supported by other equally great villains. The way the story is going, I’m expecting a fully satisfying, suspenseful remaining four episodes.
This drama is hilarious and at the same time intense and suspenseful - all while showcasing the consequences of the decisions one makes in their three score and ten (+/-) years on this earth. Among other questions Reborn Rookie asks: What is the true definition of success and What is the true measure of a person?
** The chairman’s youngest daughter, Kang Bang Geul, is understandably confused about her feelings over this young, handsome, smart, fearless intern, but the infolding events and her overall goals keep her from focusing in that direction for too long at a time. And along the way, Chairman Kang, who underestimated the daughter he loves, gives her plenty to dislike about Intern Hwang.
I can’t give it a 10 rating yet as there are 4 more episode to go. But if it ends as well as it has been going so far, I’ll up my rating.
