Simple and predictable, but still enjoyable
The story felt bland and predictable. With the base concept for a story about the struggles of idols, it kind of touched the main points and struggles but then oversimplefied or overlooked them so the story would proggress in the direction of a happy ending for everyone.
I liked both ML and FL, not sure if it is the directing, but there were moments when they were not very natural, but I liked them. HSout out to Chani as well, I enjoyed his performance. Also some scenes feel rushed, and it seems that there is not enough time to properly represent every character. The characters lack depth in general, maybe due to wanting to focus on everyone, but not really pulling it off since the characters are many and not a lot of episodes to do it right.
I love ATEEZ, (they were the reason for me to watch this) and as non-actors they were good with what they had to do. I believe tho they were a bit underused, like they can sing and dance much better compared to what was actually shown, but it is what it is...
Tea Party and Shaxx music was ok, but for Sparkling I was really uninpressed, since they were almost all Ateez, but they gave them such empty and weird songs. At least it became a good meme "Finally now, it's my time~"
It was still an enjoyable drama in my opinion. It scraches the surface of a very relevant topic in idol industry, and as a fan myself, I wish there was more awareness for the slave contracts and trainees conditions. If looking for an actually good series, I would not recommend, but if you want something chill and not too deep, it is an option.
