Good Representation of the Demands on Boy Bands
LIKES:
Writing:
The student/teacher affection, was not made into something more sexual (or going over that line).
Showing the power of fans, media and entertainment companies over Boy Bands, not always being optimal, was refreshing. However the Boss Hanamaki Yuki was a much nicer version of what real life would be like, because it wasn’t about her greed for more money. This drama reminded me a lot of GOT7 (Korean boy band) in regards to supportive fans, hardship due to false rumours and the isolation and demands of being in a boy band. How their lives are not their own, as soon as they sign the contracts.
Production:
Other than the driving moments, cinematography, lighting, set locations, etc., were all well done.
Cast was well selected for their roles.
Music: the Come Again song was catchy, only song that I liked.
DISLIKES:
Music: the songs the guys performed had too much auto tuning used. When they were “singing” the songs, they couldn’t even lip sync properly (which could have been an editing issue).
Directing: wasn’t the best, and too much running around, causing pacing issues.
Writing: The 3 yrs later, showing the guys of 8loom being in the future, was in conclusive and didn’t show their growth at all. Same for the supporting people in their lives. So the series felt unfinished.
OVERALL:
It was an easy watch, but some moments just dragged on. In terms of rating, it could be watched by early teens and up. For people who like boy bands, I would recommend they watch this. I won’t watch it again.
