Reborn Rookie Episode 3

Cleaning house

These twins 🤬 The son is disgusting with his cowardice and greed but the twin sister…she is the most evil and ruthless of the two. So the mystery man from last episode is the son’s father in law. He plays hardball quick with his gifts bearing bombs. The Chairman and daughter get the codes for the slush fund so it will be a race to see who gets the cash first. The daughter is allowed to return home as long as she gives back all real estate her father gave her. This is her only inheritance but she signs it over to get access to her mother. The big sis has it all arranged to have her mom in maid clothes and service to greet her on her arrival. She also thinks she has the literal pulse on the Chairman deciding when he gets to die. Her husband is a weakling as a doc but the trusty night nurse is a good counterbalance. The gma has arrived on the scene and here the chairman needs to step up. He is at least aware of her condition and his daughter is getting a battery of tests done to see if that is all that is wrong and to what degree. The chairman’s bribe has their care and surveillance covered to counter the wicked daughter’s intentions. The sis is actually curious about events and wondering how her brother that hates pain will deal with it all. She knows to look into the sis in law’s family company. The Chairman is making waves since everybody wants to be in competition for CEO chair now. He has pitted materials and sales against each other in a winner take all scenario. We learn that the materials leader was the accountant that first discovered the book discrepancies. He was demoted and hidden to hide the fraud. The ripple effect has started but there will be serious fallout. One bigger fish is now gone. He can literally play dead and be out of the fight. Chairman was caught red handed by the daughter in the secret vault and he has to earn her trust to keep things on track. He has not convinced her, but seeing him pay out the cash to protect her dad in the hospital and to get slush fund access gets points in his favor. I wish daughter could have been successful getting her mom out rather than getting trapped inside with her. Big sis is determined to make them invisible tho her mom has lived 30 years with the dad. Little sis is definitely made the Cinderella of the group. While Chairman’s reasons for sending his daughter away is a bit clearer, it could have been done in a less brutal manner and with better understanding as to the why’s. He had already lost to the twins and had no real safeguards for his second family. I do not know if this was guilt for their mother’s loss or just seen as the necessary evil to have legacy for his company, but for all his business smarts, the Chairman leaves much to be desired as a family man. He dropped the ball and is now well aware of what he created. This will be a war of attrition. Which will hold out for the win? Experience or ruthless tag team attacks? Previews show gloves off fighting for the chair and father will be in direct fight with his firstborn twins. What did the twin sis do with chemical division that makes her feel both victim and entitled? This has damaged her to the point of justifying murder so a monster was created as a result. So far, other than youngest daughter’s potential, there is nothing to recommend about the chairman’s ‘legacy’.

What I like from ep 3

- this drama never prolongs unnecessary scene. From the start of ep I thought they would focused on junhyeon breaking into the meeting room but they just gloss over it. I’m really pleased with the director style of things- Damn chairman kang is out here controlling people with his words! Just calming down kang jaeseong is already impressive (I mean that’s his son and bit stupid but still impressive). He knows what kind of trap jaeseong would fall into. I really like this kind of plot argggh- Banggeul is so pitiful… I think chairman wants her to live comfortable life away from the company power struggle, but this is not it. He took his twin side too much, I know they will resent him if he takes banggeul side but sending her abroad is too much. Especially since she is abroad for 15 years, she went away at around 10 years old(?) I hope he redeems himself and become good dad to banggeul this time- And the way he makes banggeul finally cooperate with him is so cathartic. Lee junyoung and lee jumyoung acting in this scene is so impressive, so cathartic. I love how he corners her with his words and banggeul finally realizing he could only work together with hwang.- And lmao all his calculation afterwards is so exciting lol, from his manager and team members to the managing director, he made people move exactly as he wants. I love the business and company politics insight in this.- In the webtoon, hwang is behind the scene rather than directly manipulating managing director kwon so it’s great to see the changes!- There are some funny bits like when the material team members prepare for their raids lol, why would you put on lipbalm or chew on bottle of pills ahahahha- Btw now I understand a bit people fixation of explosives. Explosion is art lol- The preview seems exciting too, him lying he is chairman youngest son is so funny and I wonder what’s on that phone to make him mad. This is why I love junyoung, from his expression you know it’s comedic kind of mad, so I’m excited to see what happens lol
