An Ode to the Agencies, PR Teams and Managers in and around South Korea.
That's exactly what I took away from this drama, even more than its romance element, which, was hard to ignore on many levels.
I thoroughly enjoyed the take on the entertainment industry from an agency’s perspective. I've watched plenty of idol/ actor perspective dramas where their support only featured a small amount, so for this drama to spend the first four episodes solely focusing on introducing the characters at Starforce Entertainment, getting to know each of them and how they became who they were within the company, was a nice change of pace.
Secondly, because they just made it impossible to ignore, I have to mention the number of love lines in this drama because it really felt like Oprah herself was there dishing out love lines to every character in play. However, the second lead relationships were by far the most organically progressed in terms of storyline and grabbed my attention much more than the main leads.
Speaking of main leads, I did feel that Lee Sung Kyung's character, Oh Han Byul, was a little flat at times and she didn't really stand out or grab my attention throughout this drama. Maybe that's because I've seen her do better and might have had higher expectations for her compared to the rest of the cast, or maybe it was simply lazy writing? In contrast, though, Kim Young Dae, did a great job serving us adorable moments as Gong Tae Sung. He really seemed at ease with this character, and it felt like it flowed naturally for him. I honestly had a lot of fun watching him rollercoaster through the drama as he was the only charter who had the opportunity to do so.
The plot is a simple one that has many loose ends, holes and nonsensical distractions in order to allow us to reach the ending, I'm assuming, so many wanted. Overall, this drama was full of fluff, which made it an easy, no-brainer watch for those times when you need to unwind from a very stressful life. Just don't overthink this drama, it's not that deep! ;)
