Top Management (2018)

An extremely light drama!

Not particularly my choice of recommendation but perfect to leave something in the background while doing other things.

Really simple / easy to follow - cute/humorous!

Loved the acting from everyone - super adorable - especially the two ML's! Loved Ahn Hyo Seop's naive / foreign acting ~
While this was my first time seeing Cha Eun Woo act as an idol (even though he was one prior - never have seen him as I only have seen him as an actor/in dramas).

The main female lead was cute but I did think her stature/posture made the drama a little awkward for some scenes etc.

Not much really else to add? Just watch if you want to enjoy a cutesy light hearted drama in the background!

Composé de 16 épisodes durant moins de 30min, Top Management est un drama court, mais intéressant. On y découvre la ‘vie’ des managers et des idoles, les envers du décor. Bien sûr, on ne peut pas être certain de la véracité des faits, mais ça montre tout de même une partie.

C'est drama court, mais intriguant, surtout pour ceux qui veulent en découvrir un peu plus sur ce qui se passe derrière les idols de la kpop et leurs musiques.

Synopsis is misleading

Synopsis: "who uses her ability to see the future to succeed in the industry."
This is misleading. FL didn't even use her ability well.
ML is just plain dumb/no common sense. Has he never watch any video? People in video acts! Being a genius in writing song doesn't justify that(plain dumb/no common sense). He is not even that good.
I felt bad for idols & managers after watching this but this is unrealistically/too exaggerated in negative way. For examples, who wouldn't help if someone fell down on live show? Why no investigation of that accident & plagiarism? Female manager for broken boy band? It is not easy for female to work in entertainment industry cos of dirty and unfair people. It is not easy for male too but female is worse.
Idols should think about dating when they have maintained their fame or when they don't need fame/popularity anymore. Then, they can still true to themselves and to the fans while being idol. Idol doesn't last long too.
In the end, three main leads, at least choose right direction for their life. What I don't like the most is that ML & FL were childhood friend just like any other dramatic k-drama. If you have live your whole life with your childhood friend, thing could be different but a friend whom you met when you were young and forgot later on? Are you kidding me? I barely remember my friends from primary, middle, high school & college. Well, K-drama must like to look back a lot while I like to look forward.
I don't feel refreshing at all after watching as some review said so.

So top management is a great drama because it had a love triangle the boys knowing her before(only two boys)
A girl from Moorim school them being K-pop idols And having great songs like hold me. I loved the drama and think you should watch it My favourite part about this drama is when they think that the music group soul is going to end and they're gonna leave and because he found out already they start singing I think it was hold me or gravity I forgot and very sorry you're singing and then They say like I'm so sorry we're going to split up when the girls making signal saying no because you guys are splitting up the dude was wrong the drummer is very good it has some life lessons you can watch on YouTube but mostly just watch on drama cool and they do have English subtitles and every episode is named after a song I think I K pop song and I was very dumb to think the boy that was the musician was from weightlifting fairy Kim Bok jo but he was from my father is strange and abyss So if you watch it it has the boy from a Bursts and the boy from my ID is Gangnam beauty , love sphie

If the storyline is mainly focused on SOUL member's life,music,attitude,bromance,survival,fun,scandal,rivalary,etc, it will become better to watch instead of focusing love triangle between manger and idol members.

Thought I like the casts, story's background(entertainment industry), story is not realistic. Why male idols gp manager will be a female. There is no chemistry at all also.
If the character of female lead become idol or actress, it may be better.

There is no tempo also. Make me boring and angry when two main male lead become rival.

To conclude, ith Cha Eunwoo and Ahn Yoseop, the casts are worth to watch. Hope them to choose better script and director in the future.

Well. As you can see from the title, and reviews, I don’t believe this drama is exactly the best. It’s just kind of bland. Especially compared to the novel from which it is very loosely adapted from.



I haven’t watched all episodes of this drama, but after a few, I realized how it was going to be. Ah- and this drama, I watched it a little while back, but I remember more or less the main points.

-It’s love triangle between the main character and the best looking characters.

-insanely popular boy group ends up in plagiarism scandal. (Oooohhhh nooOooOooo, it’s tOtalLy going to be iNsAnely hArd to bring them back up again. Totally not going to get into some ambiguous romance shit.

Yeah, well, the storyline is self explanatory.


Acting/Cast

Ahhhh, Cha Eunwoo. And- the rest weren’t so memorable. But the acting wasn’t completely bad as I remembered it, so combined with Cha Eunwoo, 7.


Music

Eh. 6



Honestly it’s not even that bad. However, because I went into it expecting a thrilling and nerve wracking, full of power plays type of drama, a serious drama. Well, I ended up with a basically light hearted idol drama made by capitalist pigs to attract teenaged girls. Oink oink you motherfuckers, why the hell did you even adapt it from a novel like that when the only thing in common is idol management

Less good version of the novel is all that needs to be said. Well, unless you wanted to watch something lighthearted I suppose.

Uno de los doramas más hermosos que he visto. SOUL es un grupo de IDOLS que cayó en desgracia al descubrirse que una de sus canciones era un plagio, se ven con una nueva oportunidad de ser famosos con la llegada de un genio musical de Mongolia con el cual logran entablar amistad y adhieren a su grupo, siendo él el compositor original de la canción que según SOUL había plagiado.

Me encanta el desarrollo de cada personaje por separado, los actores y las escenas. Realmente te hacen reír, te hacen apreciar la amistad, te hacen soñar en grande. Y las canciones son pegajosas y divertidas. AMO AMO AMO A Sooyong, él aprendiendo a tener amigos, a enamorarse, tiene tantas escenas graciosas, tiernas y románticas. Creo que él es mi favorito.

Y ahora el casting es fenomenal, nada más con Cha Eunwoo estoy enamoradísima. Cada vez que sonríe... me derrito.

Espero con ansias la segunda temporada.
