Though like any other survival shows recently , it ended in a disappointment. But part 1 would still be one of my fav survival shows , like the amount of money starship blew was crazy . Also the original songs!! So good . The signal song , mini drama ost , also the song they did at the end of predebut ep ( I don’t know its name , but that was my fav ) , the concept songs !!! So good . Also I started loving minjae voice especially in part 2 , has a distinct charm . The show started with a rivalry between minjae and young hon to place 1st and ended the same way . It kinda felt those 2 were the main characters
Jiyoung doesnt have the visual to debut but wholeheartedly agree with wu hao
What about yoochan . He cannot be a visual as well but they selected him . Also he is underwhelming as a main vocal , others like wu hao , Jo minjae, jiyong have much better vocal tone . He has similar personality as jiyong . But jiyong was one of the most selfless persons I have seen in an idol survival show.
I honestly wonder if the board was planning to debut Seokjune, but then he left, so they crammed Junhwan in at…
Yes . That’s what I thought . Seok jun would have been better . But he still wasn’t on my top 7 regardless. I still couldn’t understand like he wasn’t some exceptional visual ( I don’t like discrimination based on visual but to prove a point) , I like visuals of young hon , semin much more , even kyuhyun , he has the nerdy vibes . Semin kinda improved a lot especially in part 2 , also his vocal tone is pretty , so his was justifiable despite the short trainee period . This guy has one of the least trainee period . More than visuals , if he would have caught my attention in performances( like minjae , seonghun , junhyuk did ) , maybe that would have been justifiable. But never once did I notice him , forget the visuals . What’s the use of having him. What’s even funny is that in Pre debut performance I remembered that he hardly live sung his short part and that to his singing voice is bland and I never even heard him singing nicely throughout the show .
What the hell , it felt like the board introduced the 8th place for junhwan?. Like bro was last in the evaluation score they showed at the end . Then why did they debut him ?? Ofcourse visuals . If they selected any 1 of the remaining 4 for 8th or not introduced an 8th place , and just picked seunghun for 7th ( cuz I knew boy would be picked by the board , and he deserves it , they need a rapper) , I would still be heartbroken for jiyong , hao, taegoen , kyuhun but I would have gotten over it . But introducing a 8th place and choosing the last person on evaluation is such a sick move, and he lacked the skills, , his performance is weak . I am sorry I am being harsh but it’s the truth , the eliminated candidates some were much better than him . It made the eliminated contestants look like fool , like man how many visuals you want in a group ?? Arnt the rest visuals too or there is some other reason choosing him .
Korean fans love kyuhyun , and we love jiyong and hao . My heart especially aches for jiyong , like imagine going through that twice !! And infront of cavity members !! What he must have felt , all the new kids recognised him as a leader and he couldn’t even debut, because what he is not too greedy for parts and helps others shine more ??
What the heck . People like jin bomin , kaira , haru were eliminated ?? I am really sorry but I don’t know why the board choose park jun hwan , like he is still kinda underprepared compared to others , was he selected as a visual member in place of seok jun?. My picks would be - Kim jiyong Kim minjae Jang yonghoon Wu hao Park seonghun Se min / won bin Kyuhyun / yoo chan yoo / baek jun hyuk / lee taegoen
Ok damn that whole graduation segment was soo cute , I was tearing up along with them when they were singing . Peanut and dorn friendship has always been the best . Also hope zihao baby is ok. Also I don’t wanna talk about their performances as it’s final but still their singing wasn’t the best despite the loud bg track . They should have selected Chinese or Thai songs why were there so many Korean songs that weren’t even that good to perform expect happy . But anyway congrats to the 7 also why the heck 7 if they have been 9 it would have been perfect with ninja ( our confidence king) and yuchen( could have been a good vocal help to thio) . They were so close in votes And I remembered now that Mika and Yetao were in the same season damn . Until now I didn’t realise what a giant Omar is . He was towering everyone present there at the end .
I think original song is a double edged sword. Yes, it can give you an advantage to show how talented and creative…
I feel the communication gap was a huge issue with majority Chinese members in original where they couldn’t really come down to 1concept. I remember in 2019 ,1 member (I forgot the name) had a prerecorded melody and no one objected and let him lead so they had a peaceful arrangement session
Damn are am satisfied by top 7 but some of my favs like dongdong , koshin needs to be in debut line , I thought dongdong would definitely debut , now his ranking is just dropping. Also I didn’t like any of the debut night songs . They have no originals ? . They even cut a stage down .
Ok I started this after watching qiao yiyu and didi (seriously she didn’t leave an impact on me now I am watching s1) in s2 . But the after the 1st elimination I am dropping it . Like one of the worst elimination rounds I have ever seen in a survival show . The 1st rank was a joke and so many talented ones were eliminated like in the 1st round itself , I was like are you kidding me , only a few of the top 9 really caught my attention. Also the only girls I have come to really like are qiao yiyu and Liliana, there are some other too but these 2 . I love tomboy or strong personality ones and I love Liliana .
The intro to the 1st ep and OST is soo good . I wanted to rewind and watch it again , and I have never been this hooked at in an opening of ep before . Damn I hope the rest of the series is as good
Edit- I bing watched it and ofcourse it's far from realistic with mc being op and such but in terms of entertainment it delivered . I am waiting for s2 , so many unanswered questions like why so secrecy about mc's uncle , geon yeop's character, I wanna see him more , he feels gray Also han ui , damn that guy had less dialogue or screen time but wherever he appeared he was so appealing. They should add more depth to his character btw , cuz in the webtoon his words seems to carry a lot of double meaning while here it feel like he is just a straight villain like by saying "try to change the school while I am gone" but in webtoon his words mean more than that , he is not so simple . Ofcourse 100+ eps of webtoon in 10 eps they can't go deep . Like if you read the webtoon there is soo much depth between han ul and the previous teacher I was shocked .
When we disco team was soo good . All of them where phenomenal but Dorn is such a charismatic performer that when he is centre you can't even watch others . I repeated the parts he was centre soo many times . All of them where my favs . I really love the thai members , always so cheerful like genuine people ready to help. Maybe cuz they arent that exposed to toxic traniee culture yet but I love seeing them Can't wait for the next ep .
Also the original songs!! So good . The signal song , mini drama ost , also the song they did at the end of predebut ep ( I don’t know its name , but that was my fav ) , the concept songs !!! So good .
Also I started loving minjae voice especially in part 2 , has a distinct charm .

Se min / won bin
