For unversed, any movie buff would remember the classic dance number where Uma Thurman and John Travolta groove to the beats of Chuck Berry’s 'You Can Never Tell'. The bar sequence remains one of the spectacular moments in Hollywood film's history.

Cut to 2020, Korean drama Backstreet Rookie recreated the scene in its third episode where the leading lady Kim Yoo Jung, who plays Jung Saet-Byul, dreams about a romantic sequence between her and her manager played by Ji Chang Wook. The two of them dance in the convenience store in the very first scene of the episode as they end it with a kiss before she snaps out of her dream. From outfits to the dance moves, everything was an ode to the movie.
