Tbh, I didn't like this as much as I expected. It started out fun and everything, but I think it ran out of steam with each episode. The last few episodes were particularly mediocre, with some of the characters suddenly acting like completely different people. It just made no sense to me. Also, I didn't like how they handled the whole "idol in a relationship" thing. It made me feel like the show was saying idols belong to their fans (and the group) and shouldn't even think of having lives, as if they aren't humans like everybody else. I don't know, it gave me a weird, upsetting feeling. On top of that, while I really liked the characters for the most part, the acting was uneven as hell, and sometimes I didn't even know what the female lead's expressions were supossed to mean. Oh, but one thing I did love is the effort the writer made to include queer characters in a way that felt super-positive. I hope other j-drama writers take notes, in this regard. So, overall, it's not a particularly good drama, and I would only recommend it if you're a big fan of any of the actors.
