Actor/Actress selection bias

For one, this is not even close to what was expected. I just watched to see what the fuss was about from social media. I can see that it is related to K-pop at the weakest level.

The director/producers want to maintain the White Man Asian Woman dominance. 'the producer said "Nope! Never! Asian guys in my show, not gonna happen!", while everyone else–albeit uncomfortably–laughed it off. Come on now, it's a show about Korean pop. Half the artists from the K-pop industry are Asian men.'

As mentioned by other reviewers, it seems like the producers are perpetuating the White Man Asian Woman fetish/fantasy.

The acting and everything else seems appropriate for the target demographic. This is the only good part of this series. Its age appropriate and that it hits the target demographic.

score 2/10
