Idol was a really good drama. I enjoyed how Ra-ik’s innocence was proven and how genuinely good Se-na was to him. Overall, the drama is worth watching; however, the last four episodes were not very engaging for me. Maybe I was distracted, but I loved the rest of it. This was not a slow burn per se—it was more complex, with romance developing alongside the main plot. Also, Ra-ik was extremely attractive in this drama; he was pure eye candy. Soo-young was fine in it, and I liked her character.

Lastly, I think there should be a new K-drama just for Chungjae. His character has a lot of potential: someone with a bad, rebellious past who is finally financially independent and able to find his own partner and fall in love with someone who can heal him in some way. No matter how tough he acts, he still needs someone. The cool hacker-detective vibe—especially on a motorcycle—is very attractive. He could easily carry his own storyline, and I would love to see him as a main lead.


before finishing the drama, my thoughts below lol

I’m so glad Kim Jae-yeong is finally getting the recognition he deserves by starring in this drama. He looks criminally good, like genuinely deliciously attractive, and I swear I’m completely head over heels for him.

I’m also really loving this whole concept of the girl “fixing” him. I honestly don’t get why people are being so hypocritical about it, acting like “a girl should never fix a guy”—please, boo hoo. kdrama male leads ALWAYS save the girls, so why not? We literally saw it earlier in *Head Over Heels*, with Seong-ah saving Gyeon-u, and now we have Se-na and Do-ra-ik. I’m obsessed.

Se-na is such a badass, and the dynamic between her and Do-ra-ik is just beautiful. The drama has this bittersweet vibe that hits you right in the feels—it genuinely makes me tear up in every episode. I’m so in love with this story and these characters.
