The Secondhand Embarassment
(there are sort of character spoilers but not story spoilers)Man, I love Ja & First. They don't wind up with great shows but their dynamic is fun to watch. This show is a bit difficult to get through, though.
The acting of the actors in the show (so the tv show being filmed that Ashi stars in) has such atrocious melodrama acting. The female lead in particular is like nails on a chalkboard to get through (note: not the actual actress, her character's acting). If I didn't know better I'd have thought First had zero acting skills based on that terrible soap opera his character is in.
Punn comes off as autistic coded (I don't mean that in a disparaging way) with Ashi being his special interest/hyper fixation. The over eager puppy dog and huge reactions to everything, in addition to him sort of coming off as a squirmy 12 yr old rather than a man in his 20s causes me so much secondhand embarrassment that I pause this show about 35 times per episode.
I'm still watching (but I don't know why) but I can't imagine how the romance is going to come off. Mostly because Punn seems so child-like (in a developmentally delayed way) that it seems like a relationship would feel like a violation.

Don't watch if you are not a JaFirst fan.
The only reason I watched Be Mine Superstar up until the last episode is because since Ja left 888 Entertainment , it'll be difficult to see him in a series with First again. To me, Be Mine looks like their last work together 🥺 I do hope to be disappointed in the future.The 2nd couple was just there for the NC scenes 😭 literally no bonding moment between them. Each and every scene between them is just the two of em, fucking.
Anyways, it's a 5/10 (because of JaFirst) If you're not a JaFirst fan, I don't recommend.
