A beautiful Slow Burn
I went into this with zero expectations. Honestly, I don't even know how I ended up seeing this show. I didn't know who William or Est were; I just decided to give the show a chance because of a TikTok recommendation, and I am happy that I did. I have seen many people saying they dropped the show because it was "too slow" for them, but being a KDrama girlie, that was not a problem for me at all. I actually loved the pace, seeing Po helping Thame get the group back and falling in love, despite what he went through with his ex. Watching Thame fall in love and allowing himself to want something just for him. Seeing the character development. I also loved how there was no miscommunication; everything was resolved within the same episode.. I also loved the topics the series covered: the conversation of fans' expectations from Idols and how much pressure the Idols are put under to maintain a perfect persona, as well as the business side of being an Idol and the treatment of Idol groups by their management companies. This series was very well-written; at no point did I feel like the series was dragging or that there were unnecessary filler scenes. The plot, storyline, dialogue, and cinematography were just perfect. And I have to say, the acting was very good, given that this was William's first acting role and Est's first Lead role. I truly enjoyed this series.
