The new JTBC drama Reborn Rookie is already drawing attention for its unconventional body-swap storyline and blend of corporate intrigue and sports drama. After the premiere, viewers are hungry to know what happens in Episode 2.
The series follows the story of Kang Yong-ho, the legendary chairman of the Choiseong Group, one of South Korea’s most powerful business empires. In the industry, Yong-ho was known as the “God of Business.” He’d built his company through decades of hard work and strategic leadership.
Hwang Jun-hyeon, a promising football player who was recently recruited to FC Choiseong, takes a shocking turn in his life after a car accident. The accident results in a mysterious body swap and Yong-ho finds himself in the body of the young athlete while Jun-hyeon has to live out his life as the chairman.
But Yong-ho is determined to take back his future, and he employs his extensive business knowledge in a way no one expects. Now in a younger body, he begins a new journey as an entry-level employee at Choiseong Group, which is full of challenges and surprises.
