Contains spoilers… What drives this post is not any particular fondness for the drama. I watched it. I fast-forwarded through parts (although less over time) and I finished it. I can even admit to enjoying parts of it immensely. But it’s not a drama that I would necessarily recommend heartily or at all. I’m not a fan of K pop (even though I had a tenuous relationship with it when my eldest was at her most fanatical) much less the rather dysfunctional industry that scaffolds its promulgation. No doubt Kwak Si-yang and Ahn Se-yang were the best in the terms of the acting. The rest? A rather mixed bag depending on the demands of the moment.
