I genuinely enjoyed the beginning of Drama Idol I. The setup was engaging and kept my attention, although the search for the real killer felt unnecessarily stretched out. Unfortunately, the reveal itself didn’t impress me much — the idea that the ML’s best friend was accidentally killed by his obsessive ex-girlfriend felt rather underwhelming and predictable.

The last two episodes were especially disappointing. They felt slow and somewhat boring, and instead of being emotionally gripping, they lacked the intensity I was hoping for. While it was clear that the writers wanted to neatly tie everything together, I felt that the storyline involving the FL’s father was left unresolved. I really wished to see some form of justice — particularly for the prosecutor who wrongly accused her father — even if the drama wasn’t primarily focused on that theme.

Another downside for me was the romance between the ML and FL. It felt underdeveloped, and I wanted more emotional depth and connection between them to truly believe in their relationship.

Overall, despite a strong start and some good ideas, the drama didn’t fully deliver on its emotional potential.

Final rating: 6,5/10
