Backstreet Rookie may be riddled with controversies ever since it began but the Ji Chang-wook and Kim Yoo-jung series continues to showcase good ratings. Moreover, viewers are now getting invested in the love story between Choi Dae-hyun (Chang-wook) and Jung Saet-byul (Yoo-jung).

*SPOILERS ALERT* Things are going to be anything but good for Cho Dae-hyun (Ji Chang-wook) in the upcoming episodes of Backstreet Rookie as he is going to face a crisis so big that his convenience store could be in major jeopardy. Viewers are aware of the real estate scandal that Jung Saet-byul (Kim Yoo-jung) had to go through which made her homeless while currently being taken under the wing of Dae-hyun's family home.

The world may seem incredibly imbalanced right now but one thing's for sure; we'll never run out of K-dramas to distract us from our real-life troubles. Currently, there are two shows that have viewers buzzing with anticipation and that's It's Okay to Not Be Okay and Backstreet Rookie.

Backstreet Rookie has been under controversy from the time it replaced The King: Eternal Monarch, last month. Many viewers have complained about the sexual nature of the storyline, especially Jung Saet-byul (Kim Yoo-jung) and Han Dal-shik's (Um Moon-suk) characters.

Ji Chang-wook, who became an instant fan-favourite with his lead act in popular shows like Healer and Suspicious Partner, continues to leave us mesmerised with his recent outing, Backstreet Rookie. Also starring Kim Yoo-jung, Backstreet Rookie traces the love story between a convenience store manager Choi Dae-hyun and his part-time employee, Jung Saet-byul.

Replacing The King: Eternal Monarch starring Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun may seem like a difficult task but Backstreet Rookie is taking up the challenge as it’s set to premiere tomorrow, i.e. June 19, 2020.

We're extremely sad with the knowledge that The King: Eternal Monarch, starring Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun aired its last episode last week. However, there's an exciting new K-drama that will take its spot on SBS and that is Backstreet Rookie.
