Also sorry you felt that way. You probably related too much to the character and it happens. But I think Yeongseo wasn't pitiful at all, of course she wasn't the main lead and she didn't have to come back to the scene, and that's also why they were rooting for Jeongnyeon that was at disadvantage.
Hard work doesn't always result to the outcome you wish for. This drama was really too realistic.
Still, it's fiction. Please don't let it dictate your real life, keep trying and living. Eventually we all come to a point where we accept our limits and not beat ourselves too hard for failing.

Btw I thought Yeongseo was always great when performing, but Jeongnyeon somehow was always at the top even when she lost her voice imo. Maybe it's because it's Kim Taeri idk.

I don't think you're correct 100%. At the beginning, Jeongnyeon had the talent but struggled to be recognised and become a trainee even, while Yeongseo was appreciated. Jeongnyeon worked hard as much, the reality is that talent ultimately will make you stand out for some parts, more than others. Jeongnyeon was unparalleled at singing and she lost that, so she overcame the issue by tackling other skills.
Also I think you missed the point of Yeongseo's storyline. She struggled so hard because her mom wanted her to, and she believed that the right thing was to always be the best and beat Jeongnyeon. Eventually, the point is that she comes to care for her rival and troupe as friends, understanding that being the best isn't important, trying and doing your best while enjoying is. Being jealous that Jeongnyeon beat her even at the last episode would be meaning that she didn't mature.

I will miss this drama the most from 2024. Hope it gets many awards.
Was truly fun to watch, post comments and interact on here. Thanks for the entertainment.
See you next time, friends!

Different vibes, characters and actresses. Was just a brief moment because of similar make-up.
I love how they take and own completely different routes from the same lead start.

Kim Tae Ri with the prince lead make-up really reminded me of Jung Eun Chae for a second...

Hyerang acknowledging Eunjae as her daughter. Her and Okgyeong were really a married couple raising their child...GL lovers #1st win

Hyerang was really pitiful in the last episode. The director saying those words to her...I realised how Hyerang didn't really love herself without Okgyeong and even more now she thinks herself, this Hyerang, hopeless and ugly. I believe in the end she will understand how to see a better Hyerang and work towards it.

I would like if in the last episode, somehow, Okgyeong and Hyerang walk in and see Yeongseo and Jeongnyeon nailing the performance, saving their legacy in a way, protecting the troupe and that's the birth of two new stars.

Damn. For a brief second I thought Juran would kiss Jeongnyeon in the last scene. When she went for the hug, the body language was totally giving desperate when she touched her face..like leaning in for a kiss. You cannot convince me this is not a scripted scene from a romance drama where the straight couple would've kissed as a goodbye kiss.

They want me to believe Juran and Jeongnyeon are only really good roommates..

I kind of hope Ra Mi Ran can get an award for this. Her acting is always showing why she is one of the top actresses in SK.

If someone told me the whole tragedy that happened to Jeongnyeon would be what unites her and Yeongseo as friends...at what cost at what cost. But finally. And Yeongseo smiles so bright. It's a blessing in tragedy

Was certainly a shock to see Hyerang so uninterested to take care of her looks once Okgyeong is gone. Yet people say there is no romance in the drama.
Anyways I can't believe she still won't apologise to Jeongnyeon.
"That's how little you meant to Okgyeong"
"You should also let her go. There's no point holding on to someone who's never coming back".
Today's episode is hitting hard with them words...

It's a 50-episode drama. Either people gave up after a couple episodes, or they wanted romance, or they hate politics. Of course I rated 10 because it's what it deserves.

I'm late but here

I don't know myself how I want this to end. I guess I just want every character to grow into their better self and find their path and be happy...maybe I got attached to fictional characters

I respectfully disagree.
1) Kim Taeri is made to be lead in any story
2) Yeongseo has the vibe of the second "perfect lady" lead
3) Jeongnyeon has exactly the vibe of the naive main character from countryside underdog with unique skills.
Besides in some stories the main character commits a lot of mistakes as a way of you're being taught a "life lesson".
She can be annoying but I think the story would be too bland and unrealistic if she never made any mistake and had it easy due to her talent...

Opium addicted? Yes. Although, if we believe her, she quitted before pansori

Next week at this time I will be finished with the drama. I hate saying goodbye to my favourite lesbians. Also best drama of the year.
