Sigh.

I hope it is not a second season of Melty... 😒

Still. Laughing.

I just....

Sure, this will be fine. *side eye to hard my vision blurred looking forward again*

It looks fun and I love the both actors. But why did they make KYJ looking so pale?

The Optimist in Me: Kim Yoo-jung is gorgeous, and this could be fun.

I would have loved to see them in a sageuk. Preferably set in Goryeo hehe.

Huh. I am not a fan of JCW. I think I've only seen him in one drama and that was plenty.

I'm so excited for this drama. Kim Yoojung looks gorgeous & mature. Ji Changwook looks good. Both of them side by side surprisingly looks compatible despite the huge age gap. Please drama, please be good 🙏.

Wow!! kim yoo-jung is damnnnn beautiful age gap is not a problem to me she is old enough to romance even gong yoo so what just try to have some fun otherwise what's The points

Oh wait this is the drama that I decided should be a weird comedy horror fantasy where the convenience store is a ley line that connects to the ghost/supernatural realm and the convenience store worker/owner can see ghosts but is so 100% done with life he barely blinks at all the weird shit that happens because of ghost shenanigans and the directing is like a combination of liminal space aesthetics (philosophy of art) and Wes Anderson.
Yeah I still maintain that would've been a better drama.

Sigh. I wish people would stop dissing dramas before watching.

Anyway, I like this pairing. My dream OTP. JCW doesn't look much older than KYJ. In fact, they look compatible. I've read the webtoon and minus the raunchy bits (which won't be present in drama), the story is decent and interesting.

Hoping the drama will be good.

messy.

I like Kim Yoo-jung and Ji Chang-wook, so we'll see what happens with this show.

What has happened to JCW. This is already his 2nd project after comeback from Military and still it's not even worth it. I'm a huge fan of him after Healer and suspicious Partner and He should definitely choose his projects very wisely.

I need a new romcom to squeal over so let’s hope this one delivers.

I see what people mean about the age-gap, but I think we can separate two arguments:
*Why do dramas have to constantly cast MLs that are over 10 years older than FLs?
* Is the age-gap another element that adds to the power imbalance in the OTP?

The first argument is about a trend in dramas. It's general, it's been like this forever and a lot of people said intelligent things about it.
The second argument is about this drama in particular. It's still not airing, so nobody knows. But the kick to Ji Changwook's face suggests that the age-gap doesn't imply power imbalance.

Every Ji Chang Wook drama I watch I hope it goes well for him, since he is my favourite actor and I love Healer so much. Fingers crossed this one is good and has high ratings.🤞🏻

i'm curious about how Ji Chang Wook picks his dramas. Is he a rebel who wants to take creative risks, or is his manager just an idiot? I'm hoping this is a good show, but you'd think he'd be a little more careful about his scripts after Melting Me Softly.

I love both leads, so I'm freaking excited for this. June suddenly seems so far...

I feel like if their characters' ages are closer together than their actual ages won't bother me as much but... like... she does look super young. Why didn't they just cast someone slightly older?

Like, I'm 34 and the thought of being with someone that much younger is mainly icky.

Guys, I don't understand the negativity towards this drama already. Isn't it common to see this age gap in dramas? Or movies and Tv shows in general? In Clean With Passion For Now, Kim Yoo-Jung was paired to Yoon Kyun-Sang who is also 13 years older than her. Still they were a great couple and the drama worked out nicely! I think we should complain about chemistry when the drama airs. It's just unfair to say this doesn't seem like a good drama based on a small teaser. Let's wait and see :)

Okay, so the age gap between these two actors is a bit disconcerting. I’m also a bit worried that Wookie will come back with another dud. Still, I’m gonna give it a shot. It has Wookie in it, so I’ll give it a shot.

Let me clarify that I'm speaking in general terms. I know nothing about the source material here; it's about the general tendency.

I understand all the feelings people have towards this pairing, but the thing is both Kim Yoo-jung and Kim So-hyun (and other young actresses too) are at this awkward stage when they are too old to continue playing high schoolers, and yet they still look young, so acting alongside older actors sometimes seems a little off (even though they are both 21 already). Personally I think that as long as the actress is okay with it, it shouldn't be made into a huge issue. I remember everybody was making a big deal out of KYJ's pairing with Yoon Kyun-sang back in the day, and as much as I didn't like the drama (and the power dynamics between their characters), she was super comfortable with him, and at the end of the day I think that's the most important. It's a weird transiton time for the younger actresses, but if they are ready for more mature and serious roles, then I'm cool with it.

not sure...I will check it out. I know the webtoon is popular but I am still not convinced that wookie is a good match for comedy or fluffy rom coms. I loved him in Healer and The K2. I know he said he is tired of the physical demanding roles but damn...it was good eye candy and he is very good with stunts.

Can y'all wait for the first two episodes to drop before you judge??

And here I was praying to the dramagods for a good JCW drama. *sighs*

I think the teaser seems fun and interesting. I love both JCW and KYJ so I can’t wait for their upcoming drama. The webtoon is popular because it has beautiful art and good story, but it has some raunchy materials that’s not suitable for all ages to read. There are many changes from the original storyline, but I’m sure they revise it to be better and suit to show on family TV screen. Please try not to have prejudice about age gap, source material because everything can be beyond your expectations! I remember there had been a lot of controversies for drama Empress Ki in the beginning before it was aired, but the drama turned out to be a very successful drama. The age gap between Ha Ji Won and Ji Chang Wook is 9 years old, and they had such a good chemistry. Just wait and see how it will be. It seems like Backstreet Rookie is a promising drama to me. The main leads look so visually compatible and beautiful. I couldn’t expect more than that! In my memory, KYJ is just like a child, but she’s grown up so fine. JCW is handsome and looks younger than his age too. Nobody can predict a drama’s ratings because it does not always depend on the quality of a project but also on luck, so we’ll see...
