A Hurricane in Sneakers, a Handsome Disaster, and Pure Absurdity—Backstreet Rookie Wins.
Okay, listen. This show is chaotic in the best possible way. From minute one, I’m yelling at my brain: “This is absurd. This is hilarious. Keep up.” Saet Byul walks in like a hurricane in sneakers, and Dae Hyun just… exists—calm, handsome, suffering quietly. The contrast? Chef’s kiss.
The romance? It’s there. Tiny little sparks. But it’s not a swoon-fest, thank god. It’s an absurd rom-com. If you try to take it seriously, it collapses like a Jenga tower in a wind tunnel. The point is the chaos, the banter, the moments that make you go: “What even is happening right now—and why am I laughing so hard?”
Some people complain the leads lack chemistry. Uh… no. They have chemistry, it’s just the weird, awkward, quirky kind that fits the show’s tone. It’s like someone sprinkled love and sarcasm in the blender and hit high-speed. You get awkward flirting, hilarious misunderstandings, and moments of genuine warmth all wrapped in ridiculousness.
Sideplots? Love triangles? Minimal, thank god. This is about comedy first. Romance second, if you even notice it. The absurdity is the star. And oh my god, Crazy by April as the opening theme? I hum it, scream it, possibly annoy my neighbors daily. Perfect chaotic anthem.
💭 Final Mood:
“Laughing until my ribs hurt, grimacing at the cringe moments, teared up once because I secretly care about them, fully embracing the absurdity, and now considering how much my own life lacks Saet Byul-level energy. 10/10. Would watch at 2 a.m., preferably with snacks, sarcasm, and zero self-control.”
