I think viewers nowadays expect some perfectly written kdramas with top tier actors and flawless characters. This drama is NOT THAT!!! However, it is sooooo entertaining and addicting to binge watch. It's really cliche and cringy to the point that it's actually good. The bromance between the Shax members with all the bickering and teasing, the love-hate relationships between managers and the idols and the lowkey flirting between girl groups and boy groups. This drama has it all!!!

It also touches a lot on the current issues of the kpop industry including reporters blackmailing companies using idol couple scandals, agencies abusing and mistreating their idols, young and naive trainees taken advantage of and suicides due to pressure from the industry. If you are a fan of kpop or atleast are familiar with it, give this drama a shot.

The cast also did not deserve the hate they received as I think their acting are up to standards....obviously it wasn't a gong yoo or a son ye jin performance but it is good enough.
