Underrated

I had never heard of this series before and just happened to have a clip of it recommended to me from youTube.. and I'm so glad it did. This was a fun show that, going from the premise, I didn't think I would like as much as I did. Seeing as it's about the craziness of fans and shipping culture, I thought I would hate it because shipping actors in real life is not my thing.. I thought it would be full of annoying girls and the antics they get up to in order to get close to their idols.

While there was some of that, the show had a lot more going on with it, including a struggling band, the relationships and friendships between the members as well as their families and the underlying idea that fans should be respectful and shipping is supposed to be a fun, harmless thing. I actually learned a few things... like that whole sasaeng thing was pretty cool how even within the fandom, they blacklist anyone who is not being respectful to the artists or are invading their privacy.

A lot of the series was still pretty juvenile and the acting was a little rough in spots but it was somehow still very entertaining and really funny. The humor was done well without being obnoxious and the chemistry between the characters was fairly decent. I enjoyed their playful banter the most, especially within the bandmates. The romance was nice but nothing to write home about. The emotionally charged moments were more enjoyable than the actual kissing or any physical moments.

Being only 10 episodes long, this was a pretty quick watch, especially with the engaging storyline and progressive pacing. I didn't feel like there was a lot of unnecessary filler and that everything happened for a reason. There weren't any aspects left unexplained or dropped which is also a big plus in my book. I would certainly recommend this as a light and fluffy watch.. maybe as a palate cleanser after a more dramatic series.
