First few episodes felt really slow for me. Honestly I almost gave up until the 4th episode in which I finally felt a hook for me to continue watching. The actors were good at portraying their roles but what made me stay was how close the story line is from what really happens in the Kpop industry. I like how they showed how hard it is in the business and how it has changed since the start of Hallyu wave by using Yoon Jae's character. It's also funny how they used real idols/singers as actors for an idol/singer character. I felt like everyone was so invested in their roles but my favorite would be the kid Malseok. I thought at first that she was the most random character but I can't seem to see the series to be a success without her. Overall, it's a good series about dreams, regrets, family, and passion.
P.S. I lowkey wished they gave Jihoon's, Drill's and MJ'scharacter a second season.
