Backstreet Rookie was a fun drama that did have much lacking but was entertaining. It was good, not great, but good enough that I don't regret taking the time to watch this drama.

Story
First of all, the story wasn't anything special. The love story in particular was quite confusing. I really don't see why there was a need for so many twists and turns. However, the writers did manage to entertain me, putting in perfect comic relief every episode. Also, because the writers tried to cover so much in such little time, there were way too many subplots for one drama, and was messy. On the other hand, I did find myself rooting for the main couple and all the other minor characters and couples to do well. Overall, the story wasn't amazing, but it was entertaining.

Acting/Cast
The acting and cast were amazing. The chemistry between the couples was amazing. All the actors and actresses, from Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung to Han Sun Hwa, Solbin, and Kim Min Kyu acted well at least as far as I could tell. :) Anyways the cast's acting and chemistry were amazing.

Music/Rewatch Value
The music was good. There wasn't any song particularly memorable, all the songs fit well with the mood and were used well. I don't think I would rewatch Backstreet Rookie in full, but I'll definitely look up clips and rewatch bits of the drama.

Backstreet Rookie didn't have the best storyline as messy and confusing as it was, however, the comic relief and the chemistry and acting skills of the cast really managed to make this ride enjoyable. As you watch this drama, you'll find yourself rooting for everyone, from the main couple to all the supporting characters to get a happy ending. I recommend watching this drama though it won't wow you, it will most definitely be enjoyable and you won't regret it.
