isn't it so hard! i think the only reason i was able to settle on yoo ah in is because i haven't seen any of his works so i was able to let my mind wander more for imagining him in the role of jamie. as for his body, actors bulk up for roles all the time. kim woo bin, lee min ho, park seo joon, lee jong seok, lee soo hyuk i saw a post recently comparing all of their before and after photos and it was crazy

ikr I was not satisfied with anyone I came across, I was sitting there scrolling through the list of all korean actors on mdl for hours and nobody matched Jamie as well as Sam does

ikr they keep adapting western shows lately and i'm over here chanting "outlander outlander outlander"

Thank you for your kind words! That's exactly what got me thinking, that the outline/concept of the story would very likely be a hit among Korean audiences and also internationally, and before I knew it my brain started going through all the details lol

thanks!

thank you so much for the details!

thank you so much!! yeah, that's the one i'm still not completely satisfied with - in a dream world if this were to actually happen, the production staff would miraculously discover an unknown or smaller actor that fits jamie perfectly lol

oh thank god! that's what i was hoping, but i've come across a few lakorns where it was insta love and then got scared by some of the comments below. will definitely watch this then!

can someone who has watched this let me know how the romances progresses? is it slow burn? do they hint at the guy falling for the girl? or is it that he suddenly gets feelings for her?

adsghksdfja apparently it's not even on the tentative july schedule should i just stop getting my hopes up?

okay that was a lie, my biggest complaint is the webtoon writer friend character. i was NOT a fan of that weird sexual way they introduced him or the way they made him look like a caricature of stereotypes.

i saw all the criticisms for the first episode and got scared to watch, but in reality it wasn't that bad? my biggest complaint is that it is kinda weird they decided to make such a mature webtoon into a family drama, the over the top childish comedy contrasts too strongly against the content and innuendos and it's confusing as to what demographic they producers are aiming for, but i had fun watching it.

i just got back from vacation so i'm finally catching up, and omg this drama is incredible

lmao it's officially july but the release date still says june why do cdramas like to torture us like this TT.TT

omg it was mine too! every year i have a shortlist of most anticipated dramas, and every year they don't live up to expectations :/ I hope backstreet rookie doesn't disappoint

they shouldn't have messed with time travel, the plot was unstable enough then the writers went and just punched a bunch of holes into it.

Why did the title change?

the whole plot of this drama is that they exchange luck every time they kiss lmao

at this point i'm going to dock at least half a point in my final rating because of the product placement

i just realized that with sbs pulling their shit to drag out the king eternal monarch, the start of backstreet rookie is gonna get pushed back rip. hopefully it won't be as bad as what they did with vagabond..
