The first teaser is out for upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie (Korean title Convenience Store Morning Star or Convenience Store Saet Byul) and I find nothing bad about it which is a huge relief because this entire project felt so polarizing. There’s concern about Kim Yoo Jung and Ji Chang Wook‘s age gap (there are so much worse in K-dramas) and the rather raunchy and skeevy source webtoon that really focuses on the female leads feminine assets if you will. But the first teaser just shows her character Saet Byul being totally put together and in charge type while his character is straight out of The Simpsons take on the convenience store manager shuffling his way through a shift. It’s cute and succeeds in making me look forward to this drama.

Something is missing in the teaser. But I hope I am proven wrong and this drama exceeds my expectations. JCW and KYJ fighting!
I hope this makes the lighthearted drama a trend.
I am watching piece of your mind and the plot is depressing,
watching when the weather is fine for some relaxing plot but there is murder plot, why?
watching find me in your memory and as much as I like it, the whe plot is about dying, bad psychiatrist and stalker.
Watching hospital playlist and I love it but then hospital has big heavy heart cases.
Watch the king and it just all over the place,
watching extracurricular and how to buy a friend, it's so heavy.
I hope it's about how different people come to convenience store and how they deal with it since it probably doesn't follow the webtoon.
im excited for my queen. The Queen is back.The teaser is so cute & I can already feel the strong chemistry between CHang wook And Yo Jung.
This will surely outperform its predeceddor in terms of leads' acting, leads Chemistry, popularity and vieweship rating.
I’m still not feeling the age gap at all (at this point, it’s obvious she’s being deliberately paired with much older actors for whatever myriad of reasons) but I’m glad her character is being portrayed as a no nonsense, badass so far and even though she’s a glam girl, she’s not hypersexualized. Still cautious but we’ll see. I hope the writing is decent also.
It looks cute and lighthearted, my girl looks gorgeous esp when she strut into the store. I can’t really judge yet if I like it because it does look like a typical comedy, so I’m looking forward to an entire trailer soon.
It looks like late spring/summer is the season of comedy dramas, we have the current, ‘good casting’, upcoming ‘mystic pop-up bar, ‘old school intern,’ ‘that guy is the guy,’ ‘oh my baby’ and now this one haha
you are right, now that you list it, so many upcoming drama isn't as heavy and depressing as the earlier season
CAN SOMEONE PLS DO ME A FAVOR AND TELL ME WHY THE HELL THEY LOOK SOOOOOOOOOO(O to infinity and beyond) GOOD TOGETHER???
Age gap doesn't matter..hello people..they are not only the actor and actress that paired with age gap..and helloooo this is base on the webtoon story, of course they will find a fresher one like Kim yoo Jung and a good looking convenience store owner like ji chng Wook to make it perfect!!so what's the problem..they look together..go go loyal fans will support this drama..♥️?
Looks cute!
She has sass, and I’m hoping wookie still has it. Fingers crosses!
She looks so beautiful. They look good together.
Light-hearted rom-com or action comedies will reign. Come on, after months of COVID-19 shutdown, parents pulling their hair homeschooling kids, massive unemployment, deaths and cases, who wants heavy themes dramas that are slow, plodding, complicated plots, remind them of death again? Escapist dramas that make people laugh, with a simple story line about everyday people that we can relate to, relaxing, and throw in heartwarming scenes that just warm the cockles of your heart is what people need right now. I am all in, hurray for Wookie and his beauty badass sidekick KYJ. Reminds me of Jung Ill Woo's Flower Boys Ramyun Shop and he of course has his own cute little drama coming up as well. My 1987 rabbit babies are doing well, only left Siggy to make his comeback and blaze the screen with an action thriller ending off this 2020 which is a total nightmare in the first half.
Both GOOD LOOKING!Toooo Handsome & Tooo Pretty for Convenience Store..And the mere fact both such a talented actors!Most of all they are both humble
& kind which are obviously shown in their faces and smiles..Fighting!Hope & Prayed it would be a Success for Both of You!God Bless
I'm sorry but KYJ is not anyone sidekick in this drama. Both leads are equally important or maybe her character is even more than his bcoz the drama's title is referring to her.
