It’s an extra week wait for the arrival of next SBS Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie, dropping now on June 19th. That’s ok, get things buttoned down and more time can be used to prep better. The drama released the official posters today and also a new preview that’s in line with the earlier ones, the tone is comedic and the setting is that 24-hour convenience store. I didn’t realize working around the clock is also a recipe for love, lol. Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung are definitely going to have to debut instant chemistry to make this come alive because I don’t have any sense of the overarching story other than she’s sassy and he’s dorky and they work together at a convenience store. I find the posters pretty low budget but the leads visuals make up for it and also there’s a sense of camp that I appreciate. Sometimes you know there is noting substantive there so play up having a good time.

I like the last poster of them together the most. Simple and nice :)
The poster with the entire cast is unappealing and looks like it is done by an amateur using the basic “paint” program on Microsoft program lol
Yea the posters are cute but it does look low budget. They could’ve done more with it. For ex, I don’t like how they took it inside a studio instead of using the convenience store as the backdrop when the drama literally takes place in a CS. I wish the teasers would be less vague and introduce other characters bc a lot of people seem to be confused what this drama is actually about. But like the webtoon, this is a slice of life romcom so people expecting an intricate plot are going to be disappointed lol.
I hope they’ve written out or really minimized screen time for the rasta character with the dreadlock wig, now is really not the time for that BS (not that it ever is). They tried to make him look as young as possible which helps with the age gap factor she’s in once again. It looks kooky and fun, I’ll probably check it out to get some balance for It’s Okay Not to Be Okay.
I like both the actors so I’m just hoping it’s not a turnoff (for me) once the romance starts like with Clean with Passion for Now.
I like both of actors so i hope that it will not be like another CWPN or Melting me ...
Cant wait Finally a suitable partner for Ji Chang wook, Visually. This will be an enormous success. Convenience is already trending on naver and international fans are going crazy about them. The chemistry is just ooozing naturally. It is not forced. I Can Feel it by just looking at the poster. They are indeed chemistry queen and King. Fans have already started shipping the two. #ChangYoo couple. thats how strong their chemistry is. i smell Huge success. Another Hit from Yoo Yung.
This is our group"s opinion on our on twitter. We feel that comvenience will hit between 18-20% domestic viewership rating all throughout its run. Just like the Fiery Priest. So this is another success for the Fiery Priest Director. back to back Success.The Casting staff must be commended for bringing together these two.
shippers of Ji Chang wook and Nam ji Hyun are now crying in the corner. because it is now very evident that Ji Chang wook has the best Chemistry with Kim Yoo Jung. This is the new ship. Ji chang wook and Nam ji Hyun ship is sinking.
You are all delusional if you are thinking that the handsome Ji Chang wook will ever like someone like Nam Ji Hyun. Duhhhh. Nam Ji Hyun is not even pretty to be compared to Kim Yoo Jung. Actually to all female leads of Ji Chang wook she is the prettiest. No Comparison at all.
And to all who are still questioning the age gap. You are all just jealous. Move on. This drama wlll be the next CLOY and descendants of the Sun. Mark my Words.
Is this necessary? Why compare beauty? I don’t think they are competing in a beauty pageant lol
I’m excited for this drama and all but your expectations are beyond the heavenly realm.
You are so right people are being so disgusting and disrespectful towards his past leads and saying she is the prettiest like it’s so uncalled for
It sounds like you’re the one who’s jealous of NJH. In case you didn’t know, there was an awards show where your little popular goddess stood alone with no one talking to her and NJH walked over to say hello and keep her company. KYJ would be ashamed and embarrassed to have you as a fan, you pathetic loser!
You’re... pathetic.
Shippers are nuts. So are you asking how many nut cases are still left in this world? Hahaha. Is this a joke?
Wow, how old are you ? You sound so immature. Do you really need to put two women's looks against each other like that ? JCW is too "handsome" for NJH? The level of shallowness. Since when is the only marker for attraction? Not to say that they're dating. You really need to check yourself,
When kim yoo jung was struggling to finish her high school ,Nam Ji Hyun entered and graduated from Sogang University with Degree in Psychology .BEAUTY TALENTED GIRL WITH BRAIN .
I mean NJH is older, KYJ enrolled in normal school and taking less work because she need attendance and score to graduated, she took it seriously.
Criticising people for not being pretty is not nice. Please keep your negative opinion to yourself.
Not a fan, but both are a good actor and actress. I'm rooting for this drama to do well, especially after LMH fan said the leads should be thankful to him for having Backstreet Rookie air after what was supposed to be a "megahit" The Eternal Chaebol lol.
Why are you trolling people just to make the point that you are Kim Yoo Jung's fan? Is this really necessary? It seems to me that you are very insecure about Nam Ji Hyun.
Is Backstreet Rookie in competition with Psycho ever of Kim Soo Hyun and her (i dont know her name) Female lead? as to time slot?
if it is, Poor Kim Soo Hyun?This is comeback drana right after MS? Another A piece of Your mind drama? lol. Poor Kim So Hyun.
Fans Cant wait for June 19. To all the haters of Kim Yoo Jung, to all those who are jealous of her. Stay where you are. This Drama will be an Enormous success for SBS. This drama will attain the ratings success that the King Eternal PPL had failed to achieve.
Stop with all your bullshit. You are not a fan of either JCW or KYJ. Stop dragging their names into your disgusting hate comments.
Poor Kim Soo Hyun?? LOL
Kim Soo Hyun > Ji Chang Wook
I mean, in Korea, you can't compare their level of fandoms. Kim Soo Hyun definitely will win the ratings battle if there's any.
Say, KYJ > SYJ. That's what I think, but I don't think it will be significant enough to beat the Kim Soo Hyun's effect.
The king may have fail in ratings but why put down the It’s okay to be okay drama? It looks interesting in the teaser. I’m not a deity so I can’t see the future on its success but why not encourage both dramas to be good quality and successful rather than seeing it as a straight competition?
U should worry about ur Ji chang wook. Don't compare with him Kim Soo Hyun , he is a legendary actor. It's okay to not be okay is most awaited drama. Female lead is Seo Ye Ji , she is talented actress. TEKM and TWOM is best example, TEKM air on SBS which is national channel with maximum viewership on other hand TWOM on a cable channel , it is paid channel which means they have less viewership. Inspite of that TEKM flop. Kim soo Hyun have guts coz he is making his comeback with an unknown writer inspite of being a top hallyu star. So just shut ur mouth.
@Joane I replied to you in the King/Monarch Post and copied my comment here again as to make the point that you got to stop bashing every other drama present and future; actors as well because you are causing irreparable damage to KYJ reputation. That's why I know you are not a genuine fan of hers cos you keep bringing others into your sorry trail of mess. No KYJ fan causes this amount of hate on twitter or IG because they focus solely on her so that's why I am calling you out here. You're a try hard imposter and your number is up. Stop causing unnecessary distress to the real fans of KYJ like myself.
you so very remind me of poster @moonlightyoo. Does anyone remember?!
@ Artemis Hard I didn't want to bring it up but I've seen a similar comment on Dramabeans too!
And @Joane Can you please leave SYJ out of your putdowns the girl has enough to contend with already that's why she had to disable her IG cos the nutters were gonna fly in as soon as her FL role was confirmed for It's okay.
And for your information both dramas are a revelation and massive score for drama fans in both camps so don't go stealing our thunder.
After seeing JCW purposely post his smoking video, I can't unsee that and seeing him here keep remind me how bad the smell of the cigarettes ?
I hope this drama will cleanse my thought and this drama brings more success to each and everyone..
I'm a huge Kim Soo hyun fan so I can't wait for It's Ok Not to be Ok drama. Having said that, this looks really interesting too and completely different so I'll also be watching this one. I hope both shows do well, they air on different nights so hopefully people can enjoy both.
It sounds like there are a lot of immature "fans" in kdrama threads who are negative and tear people down just to make their favourite stars shine. What is the point? Your star would be disappointed if they saw this horrible attitude. Be respectful. Every actor tries their best and hopes success when they start a new project so let's keep it positive and support them.
(From an international fan)
@minty
Sorry didn't mean to post this under your comment. I meant this as a general comment on the thread :)
its always nice to see posters like you and every other positive posters with heartwarming words. Im a JCW Ifan and Im definitly going to watch both dramas cause I like KSH. I hope both of them become successful and entertain us, each on their own way. Lets focus on supporting!
Everyone, please ignore the disgusting Joane's comments. He/She's not a true fan of KYJ, just a hater pretending to be a fan to start a fanwar.
yeah that's true...ignore the people who have bad comments for Kim yoo Jung....Kim yoo Jung is nice pretty and talented adorable and smart
Pretty sure she's a real fan. She writes just like Moonlight Yoo who is a hardcore KYJ stan and has defended her like crazy on this site.
