Idol I Episode 12 Reactions
This was an ok ep even if the series could have been done at the 11th ep. I did like that Se Na reopened her dad's trial and some sweet ending for the leads.

Of loneliness, guilt, doubt, injustice, misunderstanding and more.This was a great drama to watch! Has all the elements I like-romance, comedy, mystery. I like that no one really stood out as a killer. I was suspicious of everyone but no one seem to be bad and ruthless enough to do the murder. Feel good right up to the end.

Episode 12 feels like a quiet exhale — a fitting and gentle way to close out the drama. We see the Gold Boys on tour, learning how to move forward as a group without Kang Woo-seong. Thanks to his habit of recording everything, they’re able to transform his legacy into music, and it’s genuinely moving to watch them continue together. There’s a sense of freedom and happiness that wasn’t there before.
Se-na is an absolute delight in this episode, fully embracing her fangirl side. The moments where she playfully pushes Ra-ik away while battling to get her hands on his merchandise are both hilarious and endearing — especially when he casually offers to get her some and she immediately refuses. It’s funny, soft, and oddly intimate all at once.
Their romance feels deeply bonded now, grounded in communication and mutual understanding, and it really shines here. While Ra-ik is on tour, Se-na works on securing a retrial for her father to prove his innocence. I do wish we’d seen more of this storyline, as it’s resolved very quickly, but it still reinforces how far she’s come and what she continues to fight for.
Everything is neatly tied up by the end. The ex-girlfriend is arrested and charged, but ultimately placed in a mental institution due to her instability — a resolution that feels more tragic than triumphant. As for the prosecutor, his arc comes full circle. He’s made a name for himself, but chooses to step away from ambition to move somewhere regional and closer to his mother, who’s in a nursing home. It’s a surprisingly tender choice, and a reminder that success doesn’t always mean climbing higher.
🌱 Final thought: Idol I ends not by shouting its message, but by letting its characters finally breathe — and that quiet freedom is what makes the ending work.

This drama gives me happiness and makes me feel like an idol fan, but it also feels like a responsibility I carry with joy. I love it sooooo much... I am also a fangirl, not like her.,,,,
