I think if you were familiar with the webtoon, you'd be pretty excited about the changes they made and really…
HAHAHA it's not my style to backfire on anybody, I just wanted to point some aspects for you to try to see the drama in a more positive light, because I really think it was made to be fun and I'm really excited that they are covering some serious issues as well, very balanced emotions.
I don't think reading the manhwa is needed, the show is doing a good job by itself. I only wanted to say that for those that read, the show seems very interesting too, because it is contextualizing the characters better and giving more growth to their relationships by adapting the narrative for a tv show that is airing in 2021 and not a manhwa written in 2014. Many things changed.
As someone already answered you, I think Omega3 was made to be messy, because they were preparing with different formations, out of time and with not a lot of expectations and budget. I guess now that they will be united as Tea Party things will get much better.
Apart from obvious week dances and fandom, the story is nothing new. It's the light version of Sky Castle in music…
If you are basing your comment in the synopsis written here, I can be very wrong in the end, but I think that was more based in the webtoon description than the drama itself. Tea Party still need to debut, we don't know if they will continue the same plot from there or if the story will have some changes now that Maha and Ryoc already know each other.
Omg! The 1st Episode was so great! I really like the female lead Jung Ji So (Maha). I thought she is annoying…
I think she is a great Maha, Maha is witty, ambitious and full of energy. For people that tone can be considered as annoying, I understand why, but that "annoyance" is part of her character and that's how she should be portrayed. Jiso is doing a great job!
Man I had such high hopes for this drama. There’s like no good Idol dramas honestly, and I was like 100 sure…
I think if you were familiar with the webtoon, you'd be pretty excited about the changes they made and really hoping to see the next steps.
That time skip was one of the things I loved the most about it, actually! When the webtoon starts with all groups debuted and not contextualizing their past, we don't know their personalities, how some characters became friends and why some seem to dislike each other, I loved that the drama gave enough time for the relationships to grow stronger and how it gives more depth to their dreams as well, like, to see how Maha was perceiving to be an idol and how many times it didn't work as she wished for. That's important too!
I have no problem at all with the acting until now, none of the sub-characters had enough lines for it, to be honest. The only character that had more screentime was Maha, and the actress is adorable and very witty, just like Maha is in essence. If you dislike her annoyance, I think it's best for you to stop watching, because she will be a sunshine all the time.
The best part of the drama is that they are really portraying the life of idols and showing the bad part of kpop as well, so, that's why I said, if people were having high expectations for Imitation as a idol romance drama, I think they should be even more excited now because it's not only an idol romance drama, but it will also cover the industry, and show the struggle of idols and everything they have to deal with to debut and try to succeed.
Also, the show is doing great promotioning the groups as if they were real :) All the actors are really talented idols and if you think their lipsync skill is bad, you can look for their original work as soloists, ATEEZ, PRISTIN, UKISS, IOI and SF9. Feel free, they are waiting for you.
I hope you watch the second episode having a little more fun, because it's made to be fun!
According to the webtoon (I read only around 50 chapters), his character is a former member of SHAX and he takes a while to appear and is more like a guest appearence, BUT the drama already insered him a lot more in the narrative, like, they are using his vanishing as a plot...? so, I think maybe Chani's character will be bigger in the drama than he is in the webtoon. That's my wish as well.
To be honest, I think the experts are doing fine and idk why people are so furious about it every week. The groups…
Sorry if I sounded rude or something :( not my intention, it turned out as a rant because I got a lot of ideas to write, it wasn't directed to you or anything... just in general because I see a lot of people complaining about the experts.
I hate that they keep comparing TBZ journey to RTK as well, I hope they take it easy for the next rounds and have fun!
To be honest, I think the experts are doing fine and idk why people are so furious about it every week. The groups…
Just to keep my thoughts... If your favorite team is the favorite team of all judges and my favorite team is the third favorite of all judges, they will have the same score.
So, if a team places fourth place for all the judges, they will have the same score as a team that placed last for all judges. The rank is silly, not the opinion of the judges.
The most fair solution would be to make everybody rank everyone and add scores based on their individual ranks.
To be honest, I think the experts are doing fine and idk why people are so furious about it every week. The groups read the reasons behind their votes for round 1 and agreed with them. All the comments made they push to be better and this round has excellent performances, the groups reflected on it.
It's super hard to rank performances even for us that are watching and have our biased opinions.
Considering the judges have to choose 3 of the 6 teams only, for 3 to be in the higher ranks, 3 will need to be out of them.. it isn't that easy to have an agreement and a consensus. I think we have to just understand that everything is a question of taste and view, the judges are as different as us, who also watch, choose and vote. Me and you, we are probably voting for different teams and that's fine, so, if the respect can happen between us that are fandom, idk why it's so hard to accept the way the judges are voting, see!?
The most important part is that the show continues to give the judges feedbacks to the groups and the judges to be released after the show ends as they promised.
I was already mad at Mnet because of the budget debacle at the beginning, and don't even get me started on the…
To be honest, no one would even notice his mistake if it wasn't so accentuated like that in the show. It was so fast recovered and in character... I hate Mnet for the way they deal with mistakes, since RTK is like that and Produce Series as well. They will never not highlight their missing steps.
hmm..... But some groups have a small fandom but they're literally 2nd and 3rd in fan voting... Thats due to viewers…
yes! fandoms voted for face to face round, it was in february and people still didn't know the vote was happening. mnet aired a live streaming with the performances only and made us vote for 3 groups. we couldn't rewatch the performances via official ways or repost by that time, so, many people missed it.

But later tonight it will be available in Viki as well, with subs ready for tomorrow.
I thought it was too mean to give him a phone scene and no one answering him in return :(
