Road to Kingdom (2020)

Killer performances from underrated boy groups!

+10 stars because I started the show stanning only Pentagon, Golcha and The Boyz, and by the end, I was stanning Oneus, ONF, Verivery, and TOO too. The stages were all end-of-the-year award show level productions that I wish there could've been a live audience to hype up the groups. My favorite thing to come out of this was Pentagon x ONF's friendship and brotherhood.

-0.5 star because of Msnake. We all know survival shows are rigged unfortunately just some parts of the competition were blatantly unfair. Oh well. I am happy with the final outcome and the winner of the program.

So I've tried produce 101 before but I never finished it because the performances kinda bored me sometimes, yet the drama/cut scenes were fun so I'd just watch them on YouTube. Then came Road to Kingdom and oh. my. GOD. These performances are top-notch. It's like watching agt dance performances with a touch of kpop and magic and small STORYLINES like making references to Aladdin or the zombie series Kingdom or just a general theme about thieves. They use other artist's songs like Danger by Taemin or Rising Sun by TVXQ (or even their own song) and make amazing remix versions/dance covers of them. The companies/idols/show put so much effort into these, it'd be a waste not to watch them. You can even rewatch your favorite performances on YT.

I was already a fan of ONEUS before the show. This introduced me to many other groups/songs, especially The Boyz who I am a fan of now because I liked their performances/personalities. My favorite groups here were probably ONF, The Boyz, ONEUS, TOO and Pentagon cause they had some spectacular performances. The finale was fantastic, I continuously listen to those finale songs.
