Sassy and Funny Rom-Com
***8 Aug, 2020 - UPDATE: I watched the final episode today and I have to say that they wrapped up the series satisfactorily. My only gripe is that there was no actual kiss on the ending. I wish that they allowed the main characters to have that one epic kiss but I suppose with all the controversy of Backstreet Rookie, maybe they want to play it safe. It was still fun to watch, though. I hope someday JCW and KYJ will have another project together.*****11 July, 2020 - UPDATE: I watched the 2 latest episodes of Backstreet Rookie and it still has not failed to make me laugh. It’s so funny, it cracks me up. Sorry other people did not like it. This show ain’t for everybody, I suppose. But hey, please don’t ruin it for the rest of us. I’m talking about people who put in the complaint against this drama. . If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Some of us actually look forward to watching this show every week.**
I never expected to enjoy this series so much. I can’t wait to watch upcoming episodes. The story is great, so I don’t understand where the hate is coming from. I haven’t found anything particularly offensive while watching it.
I love the chemistry of JCW and KYJ. They’re too cute together. There’s a lot of laugh out loud moments for me.
Another thing I like about this series is how they incorporate cartoon style graphics with some scenes. I thought that was pretty cool as the female lead performs action sequence.
When I watch behind the scenes video clips online, it’s refreshing to see how much fun the actors are having by playing their characters.
Give this K-drama a chance if you want something different and enjoyable.
