These are two different dramas airing at two different times. They don't really compete one against another. Backstreet rookie is higher because it is fun and crazy with meaningful moments. It's OK not to be OK is not for every viewers because of it's world and tone. But remember a popular drama does not mean a good drama.

In China, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand ... Saudi Arabia, plenty of eastern countries where old cows eating young grass is acceptable and even legal... Just don't tell me we the west should be open minded enough to see it as acceptable. It is not. It is shit.

JCW said he does not want to do action dramas anymore because he does not want to be categorized as an action actor for action drama after works like Healer or K2. He wants to try something else this is why he chose Melting Me Softly and Backstreet Rookie. MMS failed because the funny parts were not assumed by his character, the plot was super weird and he had no chemistry with the female lead. At least in Backstreet rookie the two main leads look good together and JCW totally assumes the crazy funny part himself. People can say what they want but he is trying to improve himself in his acting. It is better than some actors who after 10 years they always play the same kind of character.

Openminded? Is old cows eating young grass something the West needs to be open minded about compared to the East? Don't haha me. I am the one to haha you. LOL.

This is where the secret is. Never ask. Never behave like this someone is in a relationship. If that person also behaves towards you like he/she has no one... it smells good.

I agree that ep 3 is a bit disconcerting because apart from the moments of MY in the old mansion and a few nice interactions between our two heroes, it introduces a sub story which is fun but handled in a tone very different from the two first eps and the only reason of that is for KT to ask MY "should I have fun with you"? People may think it is inconsistent compared to the previous 2 eps but OK, for me it was fun. I know we will have plenty probably others sub stories in this drama and I don't mind. I just want the main soryline to be consistent and coherent.

I guess they don't really have a choice. 16 eps only building on the main leads and their social disorders would be too heavy and it would become boring. They need to use sub stories and link these to the character building of the main leads. The drama has made a bet on a very strange universe that they need to develop beyond the mains characters. For me it is not a real issue but they need to do it in a better way than in HDL. In HDL the sub stories were very fun but the main storyline was quite confusing.

If you like someone try your chance. It doesn't matter he or she is single or not. That's the rule number one because if you only wait for a person who is single you are wrong. Great persons are mostly taken. Just take it like... It is a war. Lol.

I think JCW is doing pretty well and the drama is funny and interesting so far. They both have backstories which need to be told. This will be better than Melting me softly anyway.

YJ doesn't really love DH. You can tell looking at the way she treats him. He will get rid of her before he goes to SB.

She has mental disorder due to childhood trauma. Just focus on the story. No need to use her as an example for daily SWJ's fights.

She is just provoking him. She looks cold like a dead winter.

I went to have a look at the first episodes raw. It looks awful. The old man looks like her grand father. Why Li Yi Tong accepted to do with this drama? OK, she has an opportuniy to play something different but still... Can't bear to watch them together on screen.

So the mother plotted to have Lada forcefully bed with the loan shark but in the end it failed. As a consequence he turned against her to have her body. Rape is no joke but sorry this is horribly funny.

Lol. Fake.

Someone posted a link to the manwha here but I did not want to go read. I prefer to be surprised. It is said some part are very sexually oriented. I guess the writer will focus on the craziness and professional life. It seems the guy has a difficult story when he was working at the headquarters of the Franchise GS25. I really hope it delivers a good story on the end. JCW and KYJ must not fail again.

I think the FL is kind of reckless and a bit of a psycho chasing the ML just for a kiss she gave him. It is like she is obsessed. I like the guy better. He seems to have a backstory which explains his current situation. Not sure how it will evolve between the two of them but I am curious enough to keep watching.

TKEM thought it was a smart drama when it was only messy utterly convoluted and failed to entertain the audience. This drama is very silly but at least it is fun.

Same here. A lot of good things and the drama looks stunning. I like the guy because he is a good friend a good brother a hardworking guy and he has life values. The woman looks smart but a freak at the same time. Not sure how they will make her evolve or if we will only see this creepy behavior. It's a big challenge for the writer. Finger crossed this turns well.

8.2 is a great recovery. Some drama starts from 9.0. This one stated from 1.0. Quite a turn of tables.
