I watch ep1 of Backstreet Rookie. I lose mind.

    Going to go watch Backstreet Boys instead

    …though perhaps that is not an improvement XD

    I’m glad I uninstalled IQIYI instead of keeping it for this show. It shouts “problematic” everywhere.

      Would you be able to explain? I’m not watching it or following this once currently, but it seems that the issue with this drama extends out to more more than just the age gap (which, is actually the same as the Lee Joon Gi/IU pairing from “Moon Lovers”— 12 years) 🤔🤔🤔 So my curiosity is piqued (about the issues of the drama, not about the drama itself)

        People were iffy about the Lee Joon Gi/IU pairing initially, because of the age gap, but I know a handful of us came out of that one liking (some even loving) that pairing if not anything else about that drama

        I think LJK and IU age gap was not that obvious in Scarlet Heart.

        I watched it for about 15 mins and there’s a scene where KYJ’s character (assuming she’s a minor because she’s wearing highschool uniform ) made a pass and kissed JCW. I don’t think that’s appropriate at all.

          It sounds like the drama went towards the trajectory of “Doctors” (starring Kim Rae Won & Park Shin Hye… which ALSO had an age gap—9 years— but the drama made it worse) then *shudders*

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts Saya!

    Now I really won’t be wasting my time on this drama.

    *sigh* It’s gonna be a while before I can watch Wookie in a (good) drama, isn’t it? 😔

      Depends on how long his contract with his current agency is and if he’s planning on sticking around. He had to go get Healer for himself. His agency didn’t do shit
