This was so much fun. The directing, editing, and writing were so snappy and crisp, the plot moved forward at a fast pace, and it totally lacked all the filler and repetition that bogs down almost all kdramas. I was hesitant to even watch it because I have no interest whatsoever in all this singing and dancing and kpop. But for me to fall in love with a show with a premise and subject that i have no interest in means that it did everything really well. And the cast was fantastic. I’ve seen lots of comments that Bae Suzy and IU can’t act, but they were great in this. So was everyone else. Lots of charisma and star power was on display. And out of the 3 shows written by Park Hye Ryun that I’ve finished (I dropped While You Were Sleeping), I think this one had the tightest and least problematic script.
