At the start of Reborn Rookie, soccer player Hwang Jun-hyeon (Melo Movie’s Lee Jun-young) has just had his longtime wish granted. He has earned a spot on the roster for soccer club FC Choiseong, and will be a professional soccer player. It is the goal he has been working towards for most of his life. For Jun-hyeon, the hard-won opportunity doesn’t only mean glory and money; it means that he’ll bring joy to his grandmother, who lives with dementia and only remembers her grandson when he is in his soccer uniform.
With Jun-hyeon trapped in a coma inside of Yong-ho’s older body, Yong-ho goes about seeking revenge on his good-for-nothing children, and ensuring the future of the Choiseong Group. He gets a little help from Kang Bang-geul (Lee Joo-myung), his youngest child whom he sent to America as a teenager. Bang-geul was bullied by her older half-siblings, who looked down on their younger sister because of her mom’s former status as a domestic employee. Desperate to get her own revenge, Bang-geul has been secretly working as an intern at Choiseong Group, slowly gathering information that could take the corporation down.

When Yong-ho wakes up in his 72-year-old body, he knows that Jun-hyeon’s life is at risk. He rushes to save the soccer star from Chairman Na’s clutches. When the two meet again face-to-face, Yong-ho gives Jun-hyeon a proper apology. He finally takes responsibility for the role he played in the end of Jun-hyeon’s career, and agrees to help him hold Jae-gyeong and Jae-seong accountable for the hit-and-run.
The Reborn Rookie finale is a story of accountability—those who embrace it, and are rewarded for it, and those who don’t, and who are punished for it. Chairman Na is betrayed by his daughter Eun-se, who reveals her dad’s crimes in an effort to save herself.
Before she can be put into the police car, Jae-geong makes a run for it—straight into the path of a vengeful Eun-se’s car. Yong-ho, who loves his daughter despite everything she has done and also understands it was partially his emotionally withholding parenting that led to her selfishness, jumps in front of the car first. He survives the incident, but loses a leg. Driven mad by the incident, Jae-geong is admitted into a mental health facility. She forgets her own identity, but remembers her husband, who continues to visit her years later.
Meanwhile, Jae-seong is living in the U.S., taking care of both his son and Jae-gyeong’s son. They are seemingly happy, and plan to visit South Korea again soon, according to a phone call Jae-seong has with his stepmom Sun-hui (Yun Yu-sun). Sun-hui is back at the home she shares with husband Yong-ho, and has become a cooking star on YouTube. Jun-hyeon’s grandmother has better medical care, and remembers her grandson outside of his soccer uniform these days.

In the series’ silly final scene, Yong-ho discovers that Jun-hyeon and Bang-geul are dating. After witnessing some PDA, he angrily charges at the lovers. In the commotion, Jun-hyeon manages to bonk heads with real-life K-pop star Ryujin of ITZY, who happens to be walking by with her team. The idol swaps bodies with Jun-hyeon, who can’t believe this is happening again. The show ends with Ryujin in Jun-hyeon’s body, jumping towards Jun-hyeon in Ryujin’s body. Presumably, the two are quickly restored to their rightful bodies. Otherwise, Season 2 of Reborn Rookie is going to see Jun-hyeon bringing ITZY’s performance quality way down.
