Funny, quirky, and a bit chaotic. 7.5/10, good for a laugh!
"Backstreet Rookie: 7.7/10 – A Chaotic Convenience Store of Emotions"
The Good:
Ji Chang-wook & Kim Yoo-jung’s weirdly addictive chemistry – It’s like watching a puppy flirt with a grumpy cat. Somehow, it works.
The humor – When it hits, it’s gold (e.g., "Why is this part-time job interview more intense than my actual life?").
Vibrant, fast-paced energy – Feels like a live-action anime at times (for better or worse).
The Bad:
The questionable age-gap vibes – Even K-drama logic couldn’t fully smooth this over. ("She’s technically an adult now!" – The script, probably.)
Plot? What plot? – Swings from rom-com to gangster drama to random part-time worker shenanigans like a drunk karaoke night.
That one cursed hairstyle (You know the one. Why, stylist-nim, why?).
The Ugly (But Fun):
The product placements – So aggressive, you’ll dream of convenience store tuna mayo gimbap.
The ending – Rushed like a last-minute "we’re out of kimchi" crisis.
Verdict:
"A messy, meme-worthy ride that’s hard to hate—but harder to defend." Watch it for the chaos, stay for Ji Chang-wook’s "why am I here?" facial expressions.
