Idol Shikkaku (2024)

A drama that captivates from the very first episode to the tear-jerking finale. The story is masterfully crafted, conveying the deep, often dark emotions that real-life idols experience.

The FL journey is one that many idols can relate to, shedding light on the harsh realities of the idol industry. The portrayal of how the demanding nature of being an idol impacts their private lives is heart wrenching yet compelling. The drama doesn’t shy away from showing the control the idol world exerts over their lives, making their struggles feel deeply personal and real.

Everything about this drama is perfect. the cast 💯, the storyline 💯, the soundtrack is beautiful 💯, and the portrayal of the idol perspective is both enlightening and moving. This drama is a must watch, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and emotional viewing experience.🙌🏻✨

I feel like I need to make a short premise: in my humble opinion, if you have a certain amount of interest in the idols phenomenon (you don't have to be a die-hard "wota", just not someone who can't stand it, LOL), then you're most probably gonna appreciate this "Idol Shikkaku" more than otherwise - just like humble me appreciated it.
I really liked the production value / "packaging" and the script (with the sole, partial exception of the ending; more on that in a jiff). Oh, BTW, in case you don't know, the story is based on a novel written by an active member of NMB48 (hence a colleague of the four girls acting as members of the fictitious group "Tetra").
The acting was good as a whole, with some doing better than others as it is to be expected.
And now on to the ending and why I didn't like it too much (spoilers ahead, so stop reading if you don't want them!!!):
I honestly found it way too unresolved, on the one hand realistic, ok, but on the other hand a bit bland/bitter and uninspiring. It would have sufficed to have the ML's phone ring in the last scene where he's looking at the sun to make it right, imho!!!
Still, a totally solid 8/10 in my book.
