The age gap distorts a otherwise heartwarming experience
This story was actually wonderful. To everyone concerned about the age gap, not much romance actually takes place between the two characters, explicitly but there were some weird moments for me personally- for example, the male lead saving the child female lead when he was fully grown- sparking a ten year long crush… and a couple more.There is not actually a lot of romance stuff that goes on from the male lead’s side, as he is pretty passive in the relationship. I feel like this would have worked better with the female lead moving on in the end, and going forward with her life.
One thing I dislike is that they fail to go into detail about the past- for eg, the story of the female lead’s father and How he met the first and second male lead, etc…..
Overall a decent show, but the extreme age gap was unnecessary. 8 years could have been 4 at max, and the story wouldn’t have changed at all.

Dang it was good
This is just gonna be a quick review. Im not gonna dive into the deep parts of the show or anything, as this isn't a school project, and theres no way Im gonna voluntarily spend time analyzing anything. So, here I go xD. First of all, I surprisingly really liked the story. I thought I would find it a bit boring, as Im usually into more action, but damn I enjoyed it. And even more so, the actors / actresses did an amazing job portraying their characters. I often find the chemistry in tv shows a bit lacking, but that was NOT an issue here. And of course their crazy beautiful appearances only added to the experience;)Anyway, long (well, not really) story short, I definitely recommend it! It is one of my favorite tv-shows, and I might even watch it again, which is something i normally NEVER do!

Amazing show with some big and sad problem..
I love kdrama and I got into it because of these type of funny and heartwarming shows like this.However, as someone of color. I was sad do see how they have a fake black Korean that had all bad steorypes.
They even called him monkey once. Pretty wild.
I honestly wouldn't have any issues with him having fake black skin/Black makeup if the character had depth and had a good story.
They went out of their way to tell us he's full blown Korean, not black lol.
Other than that. The whole cast is great.
The leads specially KYJ. She's so beautiful and charming. Hope to watch more of her stuff.
The actor is also amazing. His acting is amazing.
The ending felt really rushed sadly.
One character did something really bad by basically cheated but that never brought up.
Season 2 seems to be confirmed.
Hopefully there are kisses in new seasons, less problematic stories. lol.
Other than that. I will still rate it well.

CHARACTER DRIVEN KDRAMA! DOESNT DESERVE THE HATE
I didnt had many expectations from this due to all the negative comments i have seen, but i really liked this.I actually havent watch any other drama of the main leads (crazy i know) so i went into this blind, i didnt know if i would like the actors (i cant watch a kdrama if i find the actors bad) but i knew that both of them have many fans, so i started it and i can tell you i fell in love with both of them and i look forward for their next projects.
I think the key in this drama is the characters and not the plot! Actually the plot was quite odd and some things didnt make much sense but the strong characters and their development was so great that i loved it. So if you are looking for a plot driven drama this isnt for you. The chemistry between the two leads was breathtaking and i would love to see them play together again some day, even tho i think Dae Hyun feelings for Saet Byul came kinda out of nowhere, or at least he moved on quite fast, at least they didnt rush into a relationship (i liked that it was a slow burn).
The ending was good but i wish we had seen more information about the future for some side characters, actually some of them just disappear at the last couple of episodes, for example Ji Wook, we saw his goodbye to Saet Byul but i think at the end they could have told us what happened to him.
Anyway the show is so much better than people say (at least for me) It has some really good moments, very funny moments, cute too.
Give it a try!

Endearing main couple
Well, I really liked the chapters they were fun and I liked the main couple a lot, I think they had a lot of chemistry and their interactions showed it. I loved the character of Saet Byul, I found her very cute and funny, the parts where she interacted with Mr Choi's family, mainly with Mrs. Gong Boon Hee, were quite moving and made me shed a few tears.I didn't like the unsatisfactory participation of the character Kang Ji Wook, it was like too easy to get rid of him, but what I liked the least was how basically everything Yoo Yeon Joo did was forgotten, cheating, making Saet Byul resign, and even putting the manager at the end to make Saet Byul's life impossible so that she leaves the store...all of that doesn't even come out and Mr. Choi forgives her without knowing those details...besides there is no kiss!!!
Despite these details, I thought it was a warm and entertaining comedy.

leggero e carino
molto carino, leggero e non impegnativo. Wookino sempre una garanzia e la coppia secondo me lega molto bene. avrei forse approfondito di più le loro scene e il rapporto con l'ex piuttosto che quello dell'amica che, a essere sincera, a volte ho droppato.... nonostante ciò il drama mi è piaciuto abbastanza.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

This was surprisingly deep, I'm glad I watched it
This show was on my list to watch for a while because I really like Kim Minkyu from Business Proposal, but have also gotten to know Ji Changwook and Kim Yoojung from other dramas as well and absolutely love them. It wasn't any different here. For the roles they had, they did amazingly well.I won't talk much about that certain character, as everyone has pretty much touched on it already, but I will say that for me, even without the CA, he was a really hard character to watch. His comedy wasn't really that funny, but his one redeeming quality was the loyalty he had for Daehyun and that the character toned down after he got in his relationship.
Speaking of relationships, as much as I love the actors and felt their performances were amazing, I'm not sure I bought the main two as a couple. I kept getting the feeling that he saw her as more of a little sister until the last couple of episodes. But even then, it was more of a tease. Still, I think Ji Changwook is a very funny actor and I still found myself smiling during his scenes.
I mentioned in the title how this drama cut surprisingly deep, and that's because if you just watch the first couple of episodes, the tone is very different to the heart of the story. The message of family is so powerful in this, that I almost wished they cut the romance entirely. Starting with Saetbyol and her sister, I was nearly crying for these two and rooted for them the entire time. The burden that Saetbyol had to carry after moving out with her sister was really handled well by Kim Yoojung. The scenes where she breaks down because of the things happening to her really broke my heart.
Another scene that got to me was during the buildup and reveal of Yeongju's mother's scheming. That was absolutely vile, but what got me even more in the feels were Daehyun's parents in the kitchen trying to have a conversation but tearing up because of the situation. It was so mature and realistic, it caught me off guard.
Overall, if you can get through that character's scenes, this was a good watch.

Standard formula, but still fun
I really enjoyed watching this one, even though you get some of the same themes and tropes, but i have not tired of them after watching so many dramas. I am from USA, but really only watch A-dramas/reality and comedies.First off, I have to get this out of the way: Kim Yoo Jung is the most beautiful woman ever! So gorgeous and so much style. ..and her character's fight scenes were so entertaining. She is such an incredible beauty and talent and she did a great job with this character.
As for other actors, I thought Ji Chang Wook did a great job in the male lead. I thought he was also great in Lovestruck in the City. This one, he was such a great guy. Nothing to dislike.
His mother was awesome, probably my 2nd favorite character in the show. Some have complained about how she physically hit her husband and I can understand how they feel if it were real, however, I thought it worked as part of the fictional story. Same with the reggae character. I never understood why people complain about cultural appropriation. I think it is a sign of respect and admiration when people copy others. Just don't understand why people let things like that bother them. and the fact that he was dirty and had flies around him was what his character was. Why do people have to look at it as a knock of a whole group of people. Anyway, that's all the political commentary.
Lastly about the love story, I thought it was great how FL fell in love with ML, and was devoted to him the whole program, however after watching so many K-dramas I could foresee the way she let him down after he confessed. If this was my first K-drama, I would have said 'WTF?'; she was in love with him the whole show, then when he confesses, she runs away?!?. Again, one of the same themes- giving up your love because you feel it is the best thing for the other person. The ultimate sacrifice so to say. I guess it proves how much someone really loves the other person. And it usually turns out well in the end anyway.
All said, the show was fun and I really enjoyed.
Now I will search for more shows with Ms Kim in them.

An Amazing Light-Hearted Romance Comedy
This is now one of my top favorite K-dramas.It's a romantic comedy that is funny, light-hearted but has some drama to move the plot forward, **amazing** FL who is so cute and loyal, and a really funny/cool ML. Their chemistry was really nice too and the romance was sweet. The fight scenes were also so well done with the special effects and coordination.
If you're looking for something comedic (but not too goofy), with romance (but not melodramatic or too heavy), and great production quality, then I highly recommend.
Also, I heard that there were offensive parts to some people, but I really don't understand why because I loved every single episode and was not offended in the slightest. It's meant to be a fun show, not serious.
Will absolutely rewatch this series when I want to smile and have a good laugh.
Rewatch value 10/10
Story 10/10
Acting 10/10
Music 10/10
Overall 10/10

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED; Light-hearted, Family-friendly| 40% Slice of Life, 40% Rom, 20% Com.
Before anything else, I sincerely ask you to put aside any preconception created by any other kdrama viewers/webtoon readers (myself included) and please kindly give this drama a try; two 60-minute episodes to be safe. As your own opinion is the only thing that matters to you.Though sometimes it has unrealistic scenes, purely for comedic purposes, its ability to depict the aspects of our daily life is flawless. "Backstreet Rookie" will bring you through an emotional rollercoaster without the cliche elements of which you always see sci-fi dramas. The Flow of the story is GOOD albeit can be better, same for Character Development. This unfortunately is the case for almost all dramas due to the time restriction. Acting/Casts are EXCELLENT as no role is dispensable. Chemistry between lead roles is EXCELLENT. The experienced Ji Chang Wook in addition to the talented Kim Yoo Jung created a KILLER combination. Music Choice is EXCELLENT and they go very well with their specified scenes. I must have listened to the OSTs a hundred times. Overall: 10/10; I wish there will be more dramas like this or a Season 2.
I am willing to fund the original author of "Backstreet Rookie" $10,000 to create more pieces like this and have them made into dramas.
Like many Kdrama fans, I am a picky person when it comes to deciding which drama is worth my time and health(binge-watching). However, I can confidently say that "Backstreet Rookie" is one of my favorite if not my favorite K-drama. I have already watched it 3 times and it always brings the same emotions every single time; excitement, sadness, optimism and motivation in life. Whenever I feel like I am incompetent and unmotivated, I always come back to this drama to find myself and my own value as a human being.
Thank you for reading
TDopa
