The show wants too much and ends up doing nothing.
This is a half-baked idol-romance, mystery-thriller, lawyer-drama and social critique about the terrors of idol reality. Maybe the show wanted too much and failed to deliver... in anything really. This COULD have been good, if the script was better, sharper and had fleshed out their characters more. Aside from the ML, nothing stood out. Actor was really good as well.
The best thing about the show are the leads! Their romance was cute, ok, but nothing memorable, sadly.
As usual for mediocre k-dramas we as viewers are assaulted by typical elements like: nonsensical law enforcement, forced second male lead romance, incompetent police officers and overdone childhood-encounters (even though this was ok, I think).
The idea of the show was great, but the script was so mediocre that even the murder plot was as exiting as watching paint dry. I honestly did not see it coming... because it didn't make any sense. There was no backstory here so make it make sense??? There were basically no clues, no motives, it didn't fit the character, whatever. It also got resolved wayyy to easily. Where was the investigation work?
I have no idea why they even bothered with the 2ML romance, it was there for one episode and then never mentioned again (and unnecessary). I caught myself wishing the attorney was the ML because there was more potential for a more interesting love story. At least with a better script writer. Sadly, the chemistry was a bit better with them.
That said, I didn't hate the drama but I didn't love the drama either. Lackluster, but okay.
