I expected this documentary to present a happy and squeaky-clean spin on Blackpink's rapid rise to international success. While it is still happy and squeaky-clean in many regards, I'm impressed that the four members spoke so candidly about the difficulties of stardom- in reality, a brutal and hard-won struggle for survival with long training hours and the necessity of having your fellow trainees and friends eliminated from the competition. This healthy dose of realism aside, it was pleasant hearing the members talking about their personal stories before entering the industry (Pajama News!) and seeing their day to day interactions, though some of these felt a tad too scripted. Overall, a documentary that increased my admiration for Blackpink substantially.
