Synopsis: Backstreet Rookie
Choi Dae Hyun runs into a group of female high school students, including Jung Saet Byul who is a 22-year-old four-dimensional girl with amazing fighting skills who loves her friends, family, and retro fashion. But she looks like a troublemaker. Jung Saet Byeol asks Choi Dae Hyun to do an errand for them, which is to buy cigarettes from a convenience store. Choi Dae Hyun buys the cigarettes for them and Jung Saet Byeol gets his cellphone number, but he never gets a call from her.
Three years later, Choi Dae Hyun is now 33 years old. He runs a small convenience store after he quit his job at a large company. He is looking for a part-time worker to work the night shift at his convenience store. Jung Saet Byeol comes to his store and she soon starts to work there. She is not a troublemaker anymore. Jung Saet Byeol is now a university student and is guided by her strong morals.
Jung Saet Byul and Choi Dae Hyun’s love story begins as they heal the wounds of the heart, gain love, and become adults dreaming of the future. Their stories unfold into a pleasant comedy within the familiar sensibility of a convenience store.
