Idol I really surprised me in the best way. What struck me most is how relatable and honest the fangirl world feels: it doesn’t romanticise fandom, but shows the emotional investment, quiet devotion, and the constant balance between passion and reality, and as someone who knows that world, I felt seen more than once.
The story blends mystery, legal drama, and romance without losing its emotional core, especially as the female lead’s two identities collide and force her to face both her professionalism and her feelings. The pressure of public opinion, the loneliness of defending someone already judged, and the focus on trust,in truth, in oneself, and in the person behind the public image, all feel grounded and earned. It also helps that Kim Jae Yeong is always a pleasure to watch, and this just made me want to see him in more romcoms.
In the end, this drama feels intimate, thoughtful, and surprisingly comforting, portraying fandom as something deeply human and meaningful, and it stayed with me far more than I expected
