Backstreet Rookie seemed like a promising drama and I was genuinely looking forward to it ever since it was announced. However, my expectations seemed to be too demanding.
Story:
Since the beginning, it feels like the plot is trying to build up to something. And like the fool that I am, I really thought there was going to be some sort of big revelation. Yet the story falls flat. 6 episodes in, it looked like the plot was finally going to pick up, but those expectations were met with disappointment. The story simply relies on slapstick humour and references. However, I must say that the drama was enjoyable enough for me to watch the entirety of it. This goes without saying that this is probably a personal preference. For others, this kind of plot might be highly entertaining,
Acting/Cast:
My favourite character is without doubt Jung Saet Byul. Despite how young Kim Yoo Jung is, she displays some phenomenal acting and transmits emotions like no other character in this drama. Strong female lead but soft on the inside, she will capture your heart and shake it like crazy. In terms of the character played by Ji Chan Wook... I have to confess that I have never seen a drama with him before, but from what I've seen in this one, he hasn't left a strong impression on me. Perhaps it's because the character is underdeveloped or relies simply on his looks, but I simply could not connect with Choi Dae Hyun. Regarding the character of Yeon Joo...had I not known Han Sun Hwa used to be an idol, I would have genuinely believed she has been in this acting game for some time now. All the emotions and feelings this character encompasses, she delivered perfectly. I mean, she even made me hate her.
There is nothing else to say about this drama. It simply did not meet my expectations and all the hype it was building up to. It was a victim to an underdeveloped script and questionable character choices, which can understandably put many people off from watching it. A shame that a plot with so much potential ended up being a hollow-bunny.
