Interesting, But Not Quite There

I’ll be honest, I started this drama because the synopsis sounded interesting. The mix of idols and a thriller element definitely made me curious enough to keep watching.

I really liked the male lead actor, and let’s be real, he’s very hot. Charismatic, interesting to watch, and easy on the eyes, which definitely helped. I wasn’t familiar with the female lead actress, but I didn’t think she was bad either. On their own, both characters were okay.

The thriller plot started strong. It was fun to create theories and guess who the killer might be. At some point, though, it became easier to figure it out, and the reveal didn’t hit as hard as I expected. Some very serious events (especially involving his ex-girlfriend) were resolved a bit too lightly, which reduced their emotional impact.

Now… the romance. This is where the drama lost me a little. I never really felt romantic tension or chemistry between the leads. The story leaned a bit into a fan/idol vibe rather than a balanced romantic connection, especially towards the end. I personally would have preferred a “quiet pride and support” kind of love instead of devotion bordering on fangirling.

Overall, this drama has a good premise, a strong start, and some enjoyable elements, but it didn’t fully deliver where it mattered most. Still, it’s not bad, just a bit underwhelming in key areas.

Rating: 6/10
