100 days to realize an album. Not a simple challenge!

An actor agreed to realize an album of his songs in just 100 days. He plays and sings, with the help and suggestion of friends.
The sixth episode for me was the best. How to make a music video of a song with the help of your newbie director best friend.
Great Jo Jung Suk. I didn't know he was so good at playing and composing songs. This challenge wasn't for everyone. Paksu.
His commitment, his emotions, his fears all put together in his first time on stage. A showcase that involved me emotionally and made me cry.

Engaging Docu series that I Wanted to love more

Engaging Docu series of making an 8 song album (writing all the music & lyrics himself) & showcasing it before 1,000 people all within 100 days (made for Netflix series) I was unsure just how much of this was scripted but it was nice to watch him interact with IU, his Hospital playlist actor friends & others, but it was also disappointing that they didn't give him more useful feedback. Also, I found myself wishing that he just had more time to turn the perfectly good songs into works of art .The showcase at the end featured his wife Gummy, ( former mega star singer, who I was unfamiliar with) . It was
Jo Jung Suk showcase BUT She sang 3 songs, & yeah she's talented but I think it was the wrong call to have her featured in the showcase so prominently because it felt like she was stealing his "thunder" as the crowd responded way more enthusiastically to her & it broke my heart a little for him (because , I really do think that give more time & polish his songs could have been char toppers).

Jo Jung Suk - you gotta love him!

This was an enjoyable watch. The highlights for me were when the 99's were all together - now I have to go back and re-watch HP1 & 2 yet again! I also loved when Moon Sang Hoon was being a total fanboy over IU.

The songs were lovely, and Jo Jung Suk has a beautiful and powerful voice. His creative process was a little tedious to watch at times, but I loved everyone coming together to help him out.

Jo Jung-suk’s Bold New Role

This show is such a gem. Imagine your favorite actor suddenly deciding, “I’m going to make an album,” and then actually showing you every awkward, chaotic, inspiring step of the process. That’s exactly what A-List to Playlist is.

Jo Jung-suk gives himself 100 days to become a singer-songwriter. We see the doubts, the late nights, the messy studio sessions — but also the breakthroughs and pure joy when a song finally comes together. His humor is chaotic and self-deprecating, making the show endlessly fun.

The cameos (IU, Gummy, Jung Kyung-ho, Gong Hyo-jin, Dynamic Duo, and the Hospital Playlist squad) elevate the series even more, blending star power with real heart.

More than a reality show, it’s about bravery: daring to start from zero, no matter how successful you already are. It’s funny, emotional, inspiring — and Jo’s songs are genuinely good.

⭐ 5/5 - Highly recommended if you love music, authenticity, and watching someone chase a dream.

Eu tô super chorosa, chorei tanto tanto nesse último episódio.
Muito feliz com a estreia do Jung seok, ter um sonho e realizá-lo é a melhor parte de sonhar. Fiquei extremamente tocada com a dedicação dele durante todo o projeto, sempre vi ele como esforçado e ele mostrou muito isso. No fim ele fala que deveria ter confiado mais em si mesmo e digo isso pra todo mundo, as vezes certas situações podem ser mais tranquilas se confiarmos em nós mesmos, quando a gente dúvida, se diminui.
Tô tão feliz por ele, não sei mais o que dizer, muito legal essa trajetória que os amigos ajudaram ele 🥺
Queria uma música com minha MiDo FalaSol mas será que não pode vir por aí?
E a experiência fica melhor depois de você escutar o álbum e ter visto o processo todo mas senti falta das outras músicas.

Quando a arte se reinventa em 100 dias

A motivação de recomeçar depois de muito tempo fazendo a mesma coisa.

🎤🎭 Jo Jung Suk e a coragem de trocar o script pelo microfone.

Com 20 anos de carreira sólida como ator (e uma voz que já roubava corações nos bastidores dos musicais e sets de filmagem), Jo Jung Suk decide encarar um dos desafios mais íntimos e potentes da sua trajetória: debutar como cantor em apenas 100 dias.

Mas isso não é só sobre cantar.
É sobre reconstruir-se em cena, sem personagem. É se olhar de frente, sem a proteção do papel alheio. É colocar a própria voz, as próprias dores e alegrias, num palco cru — onde cada nota carrega suor e cada letra pulsa verdade.

A série-documentário da Netflix é uma jornada de bastidores que mistura emoção, tropeços, risadas nervosas, crises de ansiedade e alívios catárticos. É também um mergulho no processo criativo de composição — cada música ganha corpo com entrega visceral. E não faltam experimentações: balada, pop, e até hip hop surgem no caminho como territórios novos onde Jo se joga com humildade e entrega.

As parcerias são um show à parte. Amizades antigas se transformam em colaborações musicais, a equipe que o cerca vira família de batalha, e o apoio da esposa, atriz e cantora Gummy, é aquele tipo de suporte silencioso que segura o tom quando a afinação emocional falha. A relação dos dois é um episódio à parte de ternura e cumplicidade.

A escolha de Gong Hyo Jin (com quem contracenou com uma química ímpar em Encarnação da Inveja) foi especial.

Sim, ele é ator. Mas aqui, ele é só Jo. E isso é gigante.

✨ “Alguns sonhos não nascem no início da carreira — eles esperam o tempo certo pra encontrar a voz certa.”
E Jo Jung Suk encontrou a dele. Em cada nota, com medo e com alma.
