I'm still astonished by how Mnet selectively reveal the ranks of some trainees before the end of voting to boost them (if they are low) or to make them drop (if they are high). So unfair.

They should at least pretend to be objective and stick to the usual screen time manipulations.

See my above comment.

Iqiyi has the full version but it's region locked. So you have to go on unofficial websites to get it (dramacool, subscene...).

Viki cut 30 minutes from last episode ... Unbelievable. And some songs have been replaced from the original version.

Watch the show elsewhere or you're gonna miss a lot.

What's the point of airing this dumbed down version? Get the appropriate copyrights or dont air the show at all ...

The editing is already messy and borderline, we don't need cropped episodes in addition of that.

Could someone PM me (or answer this comment) with the duration of the final once it has ended please.

I'm away this week (I'll watch the episode next week) and I dont want to be spoiled the group members.

You could argue Pentagon didn't get enough recognition but Hui as a person, as an individual is widely recognized.

Your own fame doesn't always transfer to your group. Hui produced Wanna One's debut song, not Pentagon as a group.

That's why it wouldn't shock me to have Pentagon on Peak Time.

He can go as a soloist, do music production, search another agence with Pentagon, go on Peak Time (a survival show made for already debuted groups) with them, etc...

But Boys Planet is not fit for him. I also blame Mnet for having accepted him for views when it's obvious hé doesn't fit the concept of the show.

The Produce/Planet series was always meant for trainees or failed idols with no recognition and close to no fame. Hui produced the debut song of the most popular produce group....

Nope Hui doesn't fit in this show. It's a show for trainees or failed idol, to give them a chance to be seen. If he takes a slot in the final group from a trainee, I'd really be mad.

Hui is doing fine, he doesn't need this and him being in the BP group would hurt Pentagon. If Hui joins the BP group, Pentagon is dead.

I mean that their ranks is too low or too high. From the 10-18 range, some should be in top 9, others outside of top 18.

I'm conflicted.

Current top 9 is perfect for me but 10 to 18 is shit.

No Haruto, Woonggi or Chen Kuan Jui. :(
I would have swapped Lee Hoetaek, Yoo Seungeon and Kum Junghyeon for those.

Hui really has nothing to do in this show. Him being there is bad for everyone: Pentagon because it weakens the group, the other participants because he takes the slot a trainee whose sole chance of being seen could be BP and him because he was already super succesful and doing really good so he didn't need that.
He produced Wanna One debut song .... Makes no sense he is here not as a mentor.

Tae Rae!

I fail to understand what makes so many people find this drama so good.

It's a pretty mediocre romcom with nothing special. Story is non-existent, acting is cringe... Production value is average.

Watch if you have free time and are bored but don't expect a masterpiece like some reviews makes it appear to be. It's just your usual romcom with a gaming setting.

PS: there was quite a lot of not so subtle patriotic propaganda "China is the best" all along the drama, so if you're allergic to that, be warned.

According to the rumors, he will be eliminated this thursday.

I didn't like this. It's way too light and looks more like a comedic slice of life drama than the dark thriller it should have been.

Don't watch this expecting tension, psychological or thriller elements. It's more of a light youth drama with comedy, thus my disapointement.

The synopsis and tags are quite misleading. This is nowhere like extracurricular.

Same for the 2nd season.

To be fair, Chuang 2019 had the same kind of open dorm. One big room with everyone. xD

This movie was great! I recommend.

There's no english subs tho, so had to use machine generated subs (Whisper).

They earn money from foreigners too. Do you think Viki, VIU, etc. broadcast the drama for free? No, they pay huge licensing fees to CJ ENM.

CJ Corporation is one the largest company in Korea. It's a bigger company than Netflix.
Not some small thing.

They own the TV channels tvN, OCN, Mnet, the OTT TVING, the CGV cinemas, Studio Dragon which is one of the biggest drama producing company (contracted by Netflix multiples times to produce dramas) as well as many businesses in other areas (food, logistic, etc.).

I don't like how they split "Artist" performances in 2 episodes.

I understood for"K vs G Battle" and "Dual Position Battle" because there was a lot of groups, so no choice, but here they could have fitted all 5 in a 2h30 episode. It would have been more fair.

Wikipedia says April 28th for Part 2 .

I doubt they will.
They never show partial ranking one day before end of voting because it would spoil the elimination.
