I like it.
I start watch it because im fan of YG but its not only for YG fan.
It was so fun and sometimes sweet. I really like see YoungDeuk, SooHyun and HyunBin.
Watching YoungDeuk was so fun. He is so talented.
And HaHa was so funny playing ChanHyuk .
The story was so fast but its normal for drama like this. Sometimes i like fast story. Even its look bored it was fun.
I really enjoy it. Not only Cast but everything. Music, story and some romantic scenes.
And they debut song was so good and they dance.

This is the first drama I binge watched for 2018. I was trying to look up what to watch on Netflix and it popped up on my recommended list. I initially watched this for Lee Suhyun. I love her voice. But then I liked the other characters too. I've always heard of Kwon Young Deuk as one of YG's main dancers but I've never really paid attention to him until now. This was a really cute drama. I like watching these kinds of dramas. Most of the time, some fans think that idols are just born the way they are. They don't think about the pressure that some of them go through. How hard they work for their dreams. They are people just like you and me. They go through hardships too.

STORY:
It is a mini drama with only 5 episodes so it was a bit fast paced. It's about who music producer who went on hiatus then decided to come back and gathered a bunch of hidden gems together to make a new idol co-ed group. They all had some issues to deal with so the producer sets out to find ridiculous ways to get them to overcome it. This show made me laugh out loud a bunch of times. It's a bit cliched but I like cliche. :D

ACTING/CAST:
I always like seeing idols expand their wings. I like how they can showcase their other talents other than singing. Lee Suhyun was the reason I watched this but then I enjoyed watching the others too. I've never heard of Kwon Hyun Bin till I watched this drama. I haven't seen Produce 101. I've seen Kim Hee Jung in other dramas before. I knew Hwang Seong Eon looked familiar and then while I was looking at her drama list, I saw that she was in Love For A Thousand More, which is another one of those dramas featuring YG artists. Kim Min Kyo is always funny in the other dramas I've watched before. Kwon Young Deuk is really cute in this drama too. Haha as Chanhyuk is just funny as hell. Can't help compare YZ's CEO to the real YG though.

MUSIC:
I really like their debut song, Red Carpet. And I also liked the song Hyun Bin sang in I think the end of episode 2 and the song that Suhyun sang at the end of episode 3. I also liked Ice Cafe. 

REWATCH VALUE:
Definitely.

OVERALL:
I gave it a 9. It's not the best mini drama but it's definitely worth watching.
