Let me begin with the obvious, this show has been categorised as a
BL show. But it is anything but a BL show. I am currently in a 7 months ongoing BL content binge. I already watched Close friend season 1. And dropped season 2 somewhere.

But was lured in episode 3 after just one episode. And i don't regret this at all.

This show deserves more praise. The rating is ridiculous low.
The actors were very good, the story was good, funny and heartwarming. The camerawork, the Thai actors that also really could speak Korean. The storyline about the strict rules for trainees hoping to become a idol.

I was looking forward to each episode, i always viewed the intro, cause it where lovely visuals of the main actors with a great song, That i now just looked up, it is Highlight from B-rock and i have put it in my Spotify list.

This show has to be marketed as something else than a BL. We can look for instance at I will be your bloom from Japan, allso a series about a boyband, struggling to get a debut. With a bisexual character in it. The characters are not one dimensional.

Because this Soju bomb show is very good, great storytelling. and entertaining, but don't let people get fooled by thinking they are going to see a BL show.
It is really good drama with a happy end.
