Okay, 3 episodes in and I need to rant. I thought this show is about finding hidden talents of the boys, maybe give them a chance to find an acting partner. Maybe I expected too much? Or maybe I just thought it is similar to the DMD Friendship show? I dunno.
So, we have 21 boys from Star Hunter and Mojo Muse Management - yes, half of the Flirt Milk cast, some of the Reloved cast and some new boys. That being said, I like that they mix both companies for some fresh pairings. Also I like the idea with the necklaces and the star charms you can win and add to your necklace.
Now to the show itself: To mix the boys by chance for the bus ride? Great idea. To play that childish game during the bus ride to break the ice? Okay. To break them into 3 teams once they arrived? Also fine.
But then the cooking challenge: 30 minutes to cook something decent and with the rule you have to eat what you cook? Hello undercooked meat and seafood. Of course the group with the professional chef won this challenge. But 7 boys in the group and they win just 5 stars for the whole group? Questionable, but okay.
Episode 3 - we arrive at the group house. Which is pretty amazing! Let's introduce the CEO of Star Hunter. This guy came off as pretty unlikable to me. Just my personal opinion! And yes, it makes sense to set rules for the boys who will be living in his house. It was just the way he told them the rules that came off a bit harsh to me.
Again, I thought this show is to find hidden talents, give the boys a chance to get comfortable with each other. Let them have fun with games, push them a bit out of their comfort zones. Maybe I shouldn't compare this to the DMD Friendship show - but it's hard, after I watched all seasons.
So, back to the boys and the house: Surprise, surprise, this house has only beds for 17 out of 21 boys. Means: 4 of them have to sleep in a tent. Then the rule: boys can be eliminated? What??? So if you are out you won't get a role in the future? Your contract is going to be terminated? Or what? They don't explain this at all. Is it a surviving show all of a sudden?
They play another game - croco doc (dunno the exact name). They have that toy and you have to push one tooth and if the crocodile is biting you, you lose. But, they also get a punishment for losing. They either have to tell an embarrassing story (which I find very questionable, because do you want to let your fans know something like this?) or you have to drink lime juice (well, okay?). And the winner of this game (which made up like 2/3 of this episode) gets 4 stars. He can keep them or share them.
Okay, so this is my rant. I was pretty excited for this show because I really like some of the actors. But the concept just doesn't sit right with me. These childish games and the part with the elimination? I dunno...
Is it the best series I've watched? No. Is it the worst? Also no. The mains are good looking, the plot is plausible, the end is... Something else 😅 But not in a bad way. Overall I liked it. Would love to watch more with the main leads.
