Lee Jun Young Completely Won Me Over
I loved Reborn Rookie from beginning to end. The story mixes chaebol politics, family drama, fantasy, sports and mystery, so at times there is almost too much going on, but somehow it worked for me and kept me wanting to watch the next episode. The biggest highlight was definitely Lee Jun Young. He completely convinced me that I was watching an older man living in a young man's body. It was in the little things -the pride, his worry for his daughter, his feelings for his wife, and the confidence of someone who had already lived an entire life. The whole cast was good, and seeing Jin Goo as a villain was strange after Descendants of the Sun! I know the ending didn't work for everyone, but I absolutely loved it. I thought it was hilarious and honestly the perfect way to finish a drama I enjoyed so much.
