I think the beginning is quite slow paced and it took me a while to get into it. But it's worth sticking to it. Just finished the drama and it's a solid 8.5 for me. ^^

I'm gonna miss him. Watched him in Mad Dog, My Country and The King so far and loved each of his roles. ♥ Waiting for him to come back. Fighting!

The two years will be hard without him. Love him since I watched Mad Dog. Stay safe and healthy! Fighting!

Done. ^^

It's okay. I mean no harm when I'm saying where people can watch dramas and I'm aware that dramacool or kissasian are piracy sites, that's why I usually say they are only an alternative. As someone who is from Europe they are sometimes the only way to watch asian dramas with subs which doesn't mean I agree with their policy. Many mention them here though.

Happy to hear I made you smile. My pleasure. Have a wonderful day as well. <3

Sorry, but it was asked where she could watch it and I'm not promoting, I'm simply saying it's there. It's not up to me where people watch. I also listed the official site of IQ who licensed the drama if you look more closely. So it's up to each one where they want to watch it. Thank you!

After 4 episodes some where already complaining about the main leads Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun's acting or saying the behavior of the female was strange (which I didn't agree with, to me she was pretty reasonable). Also plot holes, messy scriptwriting and advertisement. I mostly agree to the criticism about the product placement though, TKEM went overboard with it and yes there are plot holes or too many questions that were left unanswered. I just think that those who disliked the drama where a bit too harsh, just like here. I found TKEM nice enough for a one time watch, gave it a 6.5.

There's dramacool: https://dramacool.ca/watch/backstreet-rookie-episode-1-english-sub/
or IQ.com as Aishwarya mentioned: https://www.iq.com/play/19rrhm35it
Both work in Germany. I checked. :)

I feel you. xD

Take a look at my comment above, you can watch it on iq.com. I put a link there. Alternatively there's dramacool: https://dramacool.ca/watch/backstreet-rookie-episode-1-english-sub/

Copying reply from Aishwarya who commented 5 hours ago:
"its licensed to iq.com"

Hope this helps. :)

I would wait as the comments are running wild currently. I find it very unfair to judge a drama after 2 of 16 episodes aired so as for me I'll wait and see for myself then.
In The King: Eternal Monarch case it also received a lot of hate and I find it pretty much okay. Surely didn't deserve the hate. So I'm cautious about this. In the end it's all depending on personal opinion anyway.

I've only seen the drama but from what I see looking at the movies page they are not connected, just based on the same novel so you can watch in any order you want or just watch one. Personally I liked the drama a lot and think a movie might not be able to do this story justice with the short duration of 98 minutes. Whatever you decide on prepare tissues. ^^

I'm the type who feels strongly for the characters (being sad and depressed while watching) and also cried a lot, but I enjoyed it. If you don't mind feeling with them, shedding tears and using up your tissue stock I would recommend it. It's really good.

Yes, it's something I'll never understand. xD

There's actually not much more information but I added the few things I could find.

It would be more logical as I highly doubt anyone can rate something he haven't seen yet. xD

I thought rating an unaired drama shouldn't be possible?
Anyway, still waiting for this. ^^

If you liked Yang Se Jong I can only recommend checking out his other dramas, just like Do Hwan he's a really good actor.
