This movie made me bawl my eyes out

Do you mean the presentation in episode 5? He was just giving a presentation on the background design of the game, was he not? He didn't talk about the story, rather, just why he chose the locations he chose to make background artwork for.

They post the broadcast versions without the reaction shots as well as full unmoving cam versions of the performances on the official peak time channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PEAKTIMEOFFICIAL

Idols are different from regular musicians, so the criteria they have to fit in are different, but Korea does have both idols and non-idols in their music scene. Also they do have competition shows that feature non-idols where the audience doesn't care about the singer's looks (eg. JTBC, the channel that produced Peak Time have another similar show called Sing Again which features non-idol musicians. They even have a show called King of Mask Singer where the whole point is that you hear people's voices only and do not see their appearance at all and judge them only by that).

Sure, I'm not denying that there probably is a problem with lookism in Korea but you can't compare idol shows to a regular music competition show (they are just not comparable), and then generalise a whole population through it.
You also can't pretend that people in the West just absolutely do not care about looks, if you actually compare the idol scene to something more similar such as the pop music scene in the West you would see that good looks also gets you far there. And East Asia ≠ all of Asia, so it's a bit much to make such sweeping generalisations about Asian countries based off just your perceptions of Korea.

Haha yeah, if you ever decide to watch any other idol survival shows, I'd recommend avoiding the Mnet ones since their shows are usually where you see the unbearable kind of editing I was talking about

Been loving this show so far! I was originally hesitant to watch because I was expecting the usual really dramatic drawn out editing that usually goes into these types of shows, but this show has none of that. Instead the editing is to the point, and the atmosphere is very supportive and empathetic. It's also been nice to discover some hidden gems out of these groups too!

Yeah I know, but I feel like it wasn't explained as clearly leading to people being confused

I've loved the manga for years and was super excited for this, and I thought it was pretty good the first couple of eps despite all the changes from the original. However, the short runtime really hurt it in the end, I feel like there was just too many things cut and changed which made the show and their relationship feel a bit lackluster and rushed.
Overall it was okay but I don't think it really did the manga justice T__T

I feel like they didn't really explain it well, but in the manga it's better explained - Kaburagi felt like he was "corrupting" Onoe and making him turn to lies for their job. What he didn't realise was that Onoe had already taken on dark cases in the past before he teamed up with Kaburagi and wasn't as sheltered and ignorant about reality as he thought. Also he didn't realise that Onoe was doing it for his sake. Thus, he wanted Onoe to move to a different team before he "corrupted" him further, and Kaburagi was more so ignoring him because he was mad at himself

Yes! I agree, it has that kind of "random" or confusing aspect to it like a lot of Junji Ito's works, but I think this show is more so on the unsettling side because of how surreal it is rather than being on the creepy/scary side.

Love this show so much, its so relaxing and entertaining!! Also Woosik was a great addition to the cast, he's a natural!

Loved this so much that I ended up rewatching it literally the day after I finished watching it lol

After watching this I felt like I just had a 6 hour long fever dream. The synopsis did not prepare me for how weird, experimental, and surreal the show actually was. I kind of(?) enjoyed it, but I don't think it's for everyone. The acting, directing, and VFX were great though, and it's definitely a very original and refreshing show. I feel like people who love surrealism and dark humour would enjoy this show a lot.

Absolutely hilarious, I can rewatch this over and over again and never get tired of it!!!

Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to watch something lighthearted and wholesome! It's an episodic series about the main cast helping others out with their issues while growing as people and growing closer together as a family along the way. Bits and pieces about who the characters are and their pasts are revealed along the way, before it all ties together in the final few episodes, where it stops being episodic and becomes a lot more emotional and dramatic. Honestly, the plot is a bit predictable and I didn't know how to feel at first about it but as I watched more episodes the series and its cast of characters really grew on me. I also found a lot of the comedic scenes really funny and even creative! In the end, I had a really good time watching it!

If you remember who the characters are and the main plot points (Ockanna's spoiler recaps all of them), then I don't think it's really necessary, since season 2's plot is completely different from season 1. What I did was I quickly skimmed through season 1 and rewatched my favourite scenes as well as any key scenes, but that was about it.

I think the story is different this season, but you kinda need to watch season 1 in order to understand the characters. Season 1 is really good though, so I highly recommend it
