Near the end of the Korean drama 'The King: Eternal Monarch', a new Korean drama titled 'Backstreet Rookie' was already in line to air in the same time slot. What is interesting about this drama?
Here are five reasons for the drama 'Backstreet Rookie' you must wait and must enter your watch list this June:
1. Charm of Ji Chang Wook
Actor Ji Chang Wook returned to the screen through a character that was quite different this time. On 'Backstreet Rookie' he will play a character named Choi Dae Hyun, a mini market owner who is (of course) handsome.
Ji Chang Wook wants to display a different charm in playing Dae Hyun. This project is also special for him because the actor has long wanted to work with director Lee Myung Woo.

2. Showing the importance of a grocery store
The mini market / grocery store in Korean dramas is an element that often appears and has always been an important thing. This place is an important location for the relationship Cha Eun Sang (Park Shin Hye) and Choi Young Do (Kim Woo Bin) in the drama 'The Heirs'.
In 'Backstreet Rookie', it will not only be a meeting between Ji Chang Wook's character and his co-star Kim Yoo Jung. But the grocery store in the drama is also a place where the surrounding community gets a feeling of calm and a full stomach.

3. The return of Kim Yoo Jung as the main character
The talent of actress Kim Yoo Jung does not need to be doubted anymore. Since starting her career as a child actress, her career in the Korean television drama industry has shone even more now that she is growing up.
Kim Yoo Jung was chosen to play the opponent as well as love interest of the character Ji Chang Wook. He will play a character named Jung Saet Byul who works night shifts at Choi Dae Hyun's mini market. Of course Kim Yoo Jung's charm will be a pity to pass up.
