Madness

A show about music and the music industry filled with good-looking persons and great music. The acting was solid and every single member of the cast is talented. No doubt about that, they could all sing (it was recorded and lip synced) and they could all dance like crazy. The music was insanely good, every song had meaning, fit the mood and had a purpose. It wasn't just music for the sake of music. I appreciated the singing more than the rapping but that is just my personal preference. The chemistry between all the actors was perfect Everyone played their part well in the collective. They attempted a bromance with some solid I love you moment where the words weren't said but the actors pulled it off.

However, I swear this show pissed me off more and more as it went on. I hopped for so long that it would get better but it didn't. It literally got crazier as it went on and not in the good way. So much of this made no sense, I mean like legit NO SENSE.

Lets get into the bad aspects.
Firstly, lets get into the K=pop world that they created. While it is a known fact that the K-pop factory only values talent that comes connected to a pretty face. It should never be normalised to call someone "Fatty" nor "Skinny" it was literally atrocious, they aren't that bad from my research. People also aren't so desperate to make it in the industry that they turn out to be scum. Miaoli is literally the scum of the earth, No human being should be so despicable, and the worst part about her is that she kept saying that she is doing it to help Yuchi Ke. The worst people are the ones that always say they are helping you but know they are only using you to get what they want, you and Evil are the same person.

Secondly, lets get into the logic of things. An entire person seemed to have disappear and no one is looking for him? Whether he was Bai Ling or Lu Xiang doesn't matter because Bai Ling was dead and they made this clear from the first episode. So where did this extra body come from and why did it not have a name attached to it? The accident also made no sense, because there were two bodies lying on the road, with NO EXPLANATION. People also seem to be easy to kidnap with no one reporting it nor anyone even looking for them... Even when taken from in front a hospital.
Why was this girl pole dancing so much within the series, it didn't even seem to be part of the story development nor to her character development. It was just random, like the fight club they had during training. Pointless and confusing with no contribution to the plot.

Lastly, the final episode had no explanation or completion of anyone's story except for the company's mission to put out ACE. The guys just seem to all debut, but it appeared that the two bodies didn't have to share a soul anymore or maybe they did, I really have no clue because it was so poorly done. There was a disgraced artist who became a director at the company but no backstory as to how nor why. Their were four persons that shared two souls (2x1) and no explanation at all not even a hint.
