Great first episode!
I think it was such a great start! I haven't read the webtoon but the first ep made me look forward to the rest of the drama. It makes me want to watch the next episode already. It's also a plus that so far, I've been loving the song releases! I love the little details that helps with the plot, especially the "burner" phones that hint at the relationship between Eumji and Annie. It's an eye opener for sure, showing that the industry isn't just glitz and glamour. Looking forward to how the drama will continue and how the plot will go!Was this review helpful to you?
Realistic idol life, humanistic side.
This drama for a KBS is pretty dark, don't let the idol cast or story fool you. It has subject matter that goes beyond the stage, and pictures. It has a real humanistic approach which is a great comparison for idol from training to veteran. These can be easily comparison to personal growth, resilience and and achievement to personal potential.This is really fast paced story telling, honestly didn't even feel like an hour passed. The story is well written, I am not familiar with the original webtoon, but this alone is compelling on its own. That alone without any previous knowledge of the series looking forward towards the rest. I am also impressed in the hybrid of the connection of this series from drama and real life social media. I personally am excited to have that real life interaction outside the drama.

A deep insight into the K-pop scene
i love this sm! i want the next episode already lol. I was a bit iffy with this drama before the release as i watched some idol dramas previously and they were bad but this one is actually so good. I originally started watching to support the ateez members but boy im so immersed into the story, the plot is rlly interesting and engaging.There is in depth insights into the ugly behind the scenes of K-pop which is not all rainbows and sunshine, it's very much business and competitive. As kpop fans we forget how bad it is and how poorly our idols are being treated so it does make us more aware.
Im really impressed with the acting too! def recommend this drama

IMITATION was so gooood!!!
I really loved the first episode and I thought that Yunho was so great! Jongho's acting was immaculate! I cannot wait for further episodes! Truly 10 out of 10. I have been so excited. I just hope that Maha ends up with Yujin or else im going to throw myslef out a window! Hahahaha jkjkjk If you havnt started watching Imitation yet, I recommend it highly. It has encouraged me to learn Korean because not all of it has subtitles (Im hoping thats a hard YET) BUT you should watch it nevertheless. Yunho in this omggggggggggggggggggggggggggg (lol im just trying to write enough characters for "them" to let me post my review) Congratulations to Yunho, Jongho, San, and Seonghwa! Even though San's part was small, his acting was actually pretty good, Im impressed! So great, so great. Im sure that it is going to get better and better with time.Was this review helpful to you?
I wanna add that I like how this webtoon/show portrays idol life bc some of stuff most likely happens. As the drama goes on, more will be revealed so I really want to see how they show these issues.

Best teen drama ive watched and its only ep 1??!!
I have been a Korean drama fan since 2010 and I have watched almost all teen k dramas and this has been so impactful to me. Most Korean drama fans would also know how hard it is to survive in the kpop industry. Even BTS struggled before they gained fame and this drama and webtoon highlighted those parts really well with a sense of humor and touch of romance.I enjoyed the first ep so much I have already watched it 5 times. I'm waiting for the next ep as well as more performances on youtube !!

Reality of the music and k-pop industry is shown well in this drama
I hope all KPOP fans watch this drama to know how much their favs have struggled and the things they had to go through before debuting. I love that they followed the webtoon too!I enjoyed Tea Party's Show Me and SHAX's MALO as well! They were really well-produced ~! I can't wait for Sparkling and LaLima's release, I know they are going to be lit just by listening to their previews. I hope this drama received more love as its showing us the reality which many of us are not aware of. I also felt that how MAHA is portrayed here is exactly the same as the character in the webtoon. I enjoyed her scenes with Yujin, it was heartbreaking to know that they won't end up together, He really acted well and I hope to see him in more dramas in the future. Another person who caught my eyes was Hyuk, the maknae of SHAX. His red hair and cute personality was really adorable to watch (I rewatched those parts many times)
All in all, it was a great start to the drama!!

Very good!
I watched chapter one together with my sister and now we can't wait for the next one,You can see how hard they worked, and how much the idols and actors prepared. I have been waiting for this for a long time and it is meeting my expectations and I can't forget how good it feels to see my favorite idols participating, they all look beautiful and they showed that they are super talented even in acting!..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

raised a tip of the veil
I love dramas, the actors worked very well, considering the story is not even 1% of everything that goes on in this industry, in my view they uncovered a tiny edge of the veil in what really goes on in the entertainment industry. For when it is, that someone acts with courage to do something seriously about this rot that is the world of intertainment.I am very sorry that someone does not have the courage to tell everything that beginners go through before they reach idols. (hunger, cruelty, in many cases by older colleagues, shame, sleep deprivation, exhaustion, crazy diets because of weight , deprivation of seeing the family, abuses of all kinds, maniacal fans , because the entertainment industries do not care in the least in applying the laws in defense of their idols lack of private life, etc. etc., etc.,They only think about money, money and money, there is no longer integrity, honesty, humanity and transparency in their actions.Was this review helpful to you?
Empezo bien, termino meh
Cuando el drama arranco con la presión que los idols tienen que sufrir para llegar a donde estan, los problemas que trae y como sufren los que no alcanzan este sueño me atrapo casi que sin querer porque me encontré empezando el drama muy tarde en la noche pero sin darme cuenta ya había mirado casi media historia pero a medida que avanza todo empieza a decaer y siento que no se da el peso que era necesario. Me pareció muy interesante el recorrido de tea party desde que era omega 3 hasta que pudieron debutar, ese sube y baja de emociones que pasaron ellas me lo hicieron sentir y creo que este fue el punto mas fuerte del drama.En fin, no es el mejor de los dramas pero da una vista que creo q cada vez es mas conocida de la realidad de ser un idol y como estos chicos se apuestan la vida por este sueño en una sociedad tan competitiva como lo es la de corea del sur.
(Abro un paréntesis para hablar de jung ji so, personalmente en este drama la adore, ya la conocía de otros drama como the cursed y doom at your service pero en este como principal pudo demostrar todo lo que tiene y espero muchos proyectos de ella. Alguien mas encuentra un parecido entre ella y jang na ra? porque no pude dejar de notarlo en todo el drama osea hasta su forma de llorar me recordó a ella, también me parece muy pero muy cute pero también la veo en algunas escenas como por ejemplo cuando se vuelve caminando cuando trabajo de extra en la primer película que participa y sino supiera que es ella creería que tiene entre 12-15 años jaja)
