Synopsis
Super Rookie (신입사원: rookie employee) is an intelligent comedy which gives hope and courage to young people going through difficult times.
It is a story of a young man (Kang Ho) who gets a job in a prestigious company due to a computer error. He doesn’t have a great family or educational background and is regarded as a slacker in the traditional terms. Worst yet, he seems to spend his life devoted to reading comic books, playing cards, kick boxing, and the like. However he is spirited, street smart, athletic, loyal, and charismatic – especially with the ladies. The drama reveals how he gets his new job, his work-life, and the love and passions in his life in a very interesting way. He never gets discouraged despite all of life’s difficulties. Kang Ho’s high spirits and Mi-ok’s efforts to improve her life give today’s younger generation a chance to look at their own lives and ponder what’s truly valuable.

this show is being showed in Hong Kong TV…
Since no-one commented on it, is this not a good show??

i watched the show after reading a few reviews claiming that it was funny. hmm… it wasn’t as funny as i expected and i find the pace slow (quite disappointed!!).
i wasn’t amused by the main characters but rather the conflict among Chief Moon Young-ho, Chief Goo Bon-chul, Director Song & Director Kim Ki-yeol.
the only part i like best was when kang ho and gang disguising themselves to collect evidence in the office.

Ive watched this show!Its so funny but theres a moral lesson that you will get from this drama..Definitely the drama was all about whats going on in the company…sometimes its really sad to know that the credit of other for a job well done wasnt given to him..I must tell you guys!its the reality in every company..As what they say! in the world of Lies Truth is Dangerous!…however at the end truth will prevail..Its a must see…At first its boring but later its very intersting..

Just watch this for Han Ga In was there. It’s a little bit conflict but somehow the story shows love and affection to family members and friends too. It wasn’t good enough to use your time. Anyway, it’s for you to find out.
April 24th, 2008 at 2:13 pm

I really really loved this Drama. I really loved the Songs in this drama, the Cast, Everything is just perfect………. I recommend everyone to watch this drama. Not a single episode is boring.

i got hooked to this show because of the handsome Park boon sam. Never seen a good looking guy like him.
January 14th, 2009 at 4:54 am
I am watching it for the sake of Oh Ji-ho,or it was my intention at first but now i am also enjoying the story very much..i guess the competition even fights or plans in work place is a thing every employee must have faced..we r living the story somehow,even if u rnot in LK..and really it gives me much fun and hope..i didnot finish it yet to say my complete opinion but have you ever seen a bad guy like bang-sam??he is the cutest bad guy ever :)))) can`t help feeling he is the true hero after all..
January 17th, 2009 at 12:39 am
this is an excellent drama so refreshing,hilarious and meaningful…
i loved all the cast :Eric is wonderful,very into the character and the character is is easygoing man..kind..loving..faithful..engertic..and food lover :)) it is very great how a second role can be very effective,logic and sparkling it is beacuse of the good writing and the amazing acting of OH JI HO..one of his best roles..he is very courageous to take it and very successful outcome..i loved Han Ga very natural beauty and acting..and stylish too..i loved also the japanese business and all the office members..his brother and friends were gorgeous too..the end was very effective like the start..
the drama is about family ties, work loyalty, true friendship and supportive love..Cheers for all the cast:))

I think this show is so funny and at the same time has a lot of drama, saddness and irony. I watch every night for Han Ga In she is sooooo pretty! I will watch anything she is in now!!! Too bad she is married!
May 11th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Well written drama-comedy. I live in the u.s. and never watch these types of things. It comes on Saturday and Sunday here and i never miss it. Luv the intertwining storylines. It is subtitled but i’m starting a little bit of Korean.
June 8th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Who are the actors who play the English speaking roles in this show? The ones I’m trying to find are the guys who played the corporate spies.
July 15th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
eric is hilarious. story is alright, funny!
July 27th, 2009 at 5:08 pm

June 28th, 2012 at 6:10 pm
eric you are sweet

This drama is certainly not a good choice to spend time on as the storyline is silly and lengthy.This is an insult to the audience’s intelligence. Can a person who scored zero become a jewel? Hu is too lucky all the way – can this be possible?this drama is one of the worst that I’ve come across as I forwarded or skipped the discs quickly. Eric won the top excellence award for best actor and Ga In for excellence award in the MBC awards. I definitely think that this is overrated as they did not put in their best at all. The serial is a big let down to me.
