Excellent drama but wasted potential
The Backstreet rookie surprised me with a strong and self-assured protagonist and that despite having a superhuman strength she is completely docile, honest and hardworking. In fact, the drama is carried by Kim Yoo-jung who is undoubtedly the pillar of the drama.About the age controversies I found it completely incoherent, she was 19 and he was 26, there is nothing pedophile about it, it is actually a very normal age difference between couples ... And this affected the whole drama because because of the couple's criticism I am sure that the director cut the romance between the protagonists to avoid further criticism.
The Jamaican character doesn't seem offensive to me, he is just a boring character, he was grumpy and not sympathetic.
Ji Chang-wook's character bothered me too much as he was indifferent towards Kim Yoo-jung, he had a full sense of the even obsessive love she felt for him but at no time did he need affection for her. Okay that he was committed and it was the right way to deal, but the coldness and indifference he had for Yoo-Jung bothered him a lot, but when he finally separates from his first girlfriend and finally starts to empathize and consider Yoo's feelings -jung, so the character was cool for me
But I didn't understand in the penultimate episode Kim Yoo-jung rejecting Ji Chang-wook. It didn't make any sense, she has an unconditional love for the guy, she chased and did everything to win him over. Her rejection of her dating request was a very stupid way for the director to show that she didn't want to show romance between the two, reserving the last minutes of the drama for her to accept dating and thus end with the "happily ever after."
That was the most frustrating because the chemistry that existed between the channel was and not seeing 1 episode dedicated to the romance between the two made the huge drama lose points for me ... Because you end the drama with that feeling of incomplete ...

Wasted potential
The male protagonist and the secondary cast carry the kdrama because the female protagonist is UNSUPPORTABLE. It makes no sense when she becomes cold and skittish with the protagonist's love as she is physically, emotionally and professionally dependent on him. That classic dog man cliché that does everything for the female protagonist and she just ages with indifference. I don't know how there are so many women who like to watch this dynamic, it's a very toxic form of relationship. If it weren't for the boring female protagonist it would have been a better kdrama.Was this review helpful to you?
Good to pass the time
It is a good drama and very light with enough time not to be tiring. It only bothered me that Min is the one who has the least time on the show and is the one who is the most disadvantaged. Kim Hana had disgusting attitudes and even so, everyone excused the character and even Min returns to run for her even though she doesn't like him. I found it humiliating for the character who had good chemistry with the protagonist FL. Min is attentive, sweet and smiling unlike FL who is cool and responsible. They would make such a beautiful couple that was not taken advantage of ....Was this review helpful to you?

An extraordinary drama
The drama is good, but I think it is cruel how women ignore the protagonist's selfishness and cruelty ... If it were a man acting like JI-Ho, I'm sure he would be the most hated character in kdrama ...However, I noticed that Ji-ho was always portrayed as selfish, she always did what she wanted, that was explicit in the show. And although she says she loves ML it is clear that it is not a sincere love since she flirted with that stalker boy without hesitation and even flirted with ML's ex wife. (I didn't quite understand it, the protagonist's former wife became explicitly interested sexually in FL and being reciprocal, but there was no reason for that because the show did not explore any of this)
Anyway it's a great show, I really liked being frustrated with the last 2 episodes because it showed the real personality of the protagonist - A brave, independent, stingy and also selfish woman. It is the first drama that I hoped for the protagonist couple not to be together in the end, a pity that they ended up together, I felt sorry for ML who needs to change his personality and his way of being to please a selfish woman who doesn't love him like he loves Is it over there.
