I really wanted to like this K-drama because I like shows that portray the problems of celebrities. Nevertheless, this did not go to my heart. The beginning, which was adorned by the random encounters between the main characters, created tension. I found the first encounter original and the scene in the phone booth. I would probably have enjoyed it a lot more if the phase where they fell in love had been longer.
The focus has changed again and again over the course of the series, clearly the subject was music, but the people it was about changed the weight of importance every time. The band Crude Play was hardly present at the beginning, although it was actually about the member of this. In the end, however, the band of the female protagonist went into hiding. A bit disappointing that this wasn't just kept in one level.
Now to the previous relationship between the songwriter and the famous singer, which came off a bit grotesque. She had just replaced him with someone else because he sucked her. He reacted far too sharply because he wanted to pose as a victim. She, on the other hand, was after him for far too long after their breakup. No point, since she was with the director. So why be jealous? Or was the jealousy actually directed at the main feamle character because she was young and her career and life are just beginning? If so, then indistinctly highlighted. Besides, the relationship between the director and her is just as vague.
Now to the secondary main character (who looks damn good) who I couldn't tell whether he was one of the good guys or the bad guys. Because he worked hard for the new band and contributed a lot to their development. But this only worked as a sham to get the singer out of the way and to wipe out his competitor because he is more sought after than himself, pressed him on the psyche with hurtful words. That made him unsympathetic, so that he wasn't shipped with the main character. His relationship with the band was also flat, sometimes they were good with each other, the team spirit could be felt, but on the other you hardly saw him with the group because he was apparently so much better.
The father and the president of the label had an attraction that led to something more or was it hallucinations? I liked the relationship between the band leader and the Sunbae the most. The other two members are completely submerged.
The naive girl with the dreams, who wanted to come true with her friends, was very often portrayed as stupid, even though she was simply wearing rose-colored glasses because she had seen the good in the world.
Everything was portrayed far too dramatically, far too often the genius was portrayed as a victim and in the center, where I thought "Does everything have to be about him?" A band has the responsibility to move together, but apparently team spirit is only partly important here.
And when did the bands debut? Both at the same time? Then it was too early for some and too late for others. (depending on the time when that was)
score 3/10
