There's a very "Comfortable" feeling with this wedrama that I can't exactly put into words: It's light and fun to watch, with an original concept and, although it's not groundbreaking (some important reveals here and there, no memorable big scene, no memorable osts to get you thinking about the drama), the story and the characters are enough to have you interested, to have you smiling and perhaps looking forward to knowing what happens next. It reminded me of W.H.Y, another Playlist drama.

Pop-Out Boy did have more potential than the one Playlist worked with: I think the relationship between the friends could've been developed and showcased a lot more, and that would make the drama funnier and even more interesting. Basically, if it had been focused on the 4 of them instead of mainly the main couple, the friendship wouldn't feel so flat. It was hard for me to care for them has a "whole package" when 90% of the episodes is mostly about Nam Wook. The romance was ok - I've seen worst, with less chemistry, and I've seen better, with more realism. As for pacing, it was okay most of the time.

I was very surprised with the main cast! Doyeon's performance was incredible, I had never seen her acting before but, of all 4, I think I'd place her in the second, right before Hyun Wook's performance! Mingyu had his awkward moments here and there, which the cheesiness of his character helped create, but for a first drama it isn't unbearable. I also knew Ji Hyo from her reality show and was smitten by her.

That ending was so promising, it makes me sad to think Playlist won't continue the drama's legacy.... Overall, Pop Out Boy is okay, perfect to binge!
