This  is my first  Chuang series, and my first boyband idol show . it's so funny. I watched a few of the female versions (Youth With You 2, and Produce 101 - korean) in the past. I really like Ning Jing. She's so honest and isn't mean spirited but is frank about what she thinks. I love her comments. I like Zhou Shen too. He sprinkles his wisdom here and there and I am eager to see how he can be a mentor (I've previously watched him in Our Song and he is hilarious). 

I like Santa too. The foreign trainees are really strong. I'm amazed with the Thai ones that only learned chinese/dancing/singing for 3 months and are really good, especially Patrick. lol I think he speaks better than me! I like the feel of this. When Amber said she'd take care of the foreign trainees when someone said it's going to be hard for them to fit in, I got the warm and fuzzy feelings.  I like how unique some of the trainees are,  and even though they don't fit the conventional "idol" image, they still got quite a bit of support from the fellow trainees. 

I like the system, how everyone votes, and not just the mentors. That make sense - because all of have their preferences and for those that gain the most approvals means there's something special about them. I like this format. It can be a popularity contest, but that's the idol world too.
