A little basic storyline and a great female lead. Very inspiring.

This drama starts off with an a terrific and original storyline about a failed idol, who almost debuted. This really impressed me, this is something that has never been done before! I was in love with the show and kept watching at all times, no stopping, even though I was so busy! Whatever breaks I get I would watch,it was truly addictive.
let me start with what I liked
•The female lead- the female lead had her way with words, she knew how to handle people, she knew how to accept help from people,extremely hardworking and full of ideas. This was so refreshing! She was naturally cute there was something about her that even when she acts cute, its literally not cringy, didn't know someone could do that so well! Her growth is amazing. She turned into a confident independent woman who everyone rooted for during the whole show. She was very rational (most of the time) and really was just overall mature and likeable.
•the chemistry- the leads portrayed such a beautiful and real relationship, it was just so natural! It looked like they were really in a relationship! Too many cute scenes.
•music- the osts were so catchy that I almost unconsciously watched the Intro and played the song on my head all the time.
•acting- the acting was actually pretty decent nothing mindblowing, but enough to convey thier emotions well.
•friendship(sismance)- not gonna lie,this is the highest level of sismance I have seen a drama after maybe mr sunshine?? Like the girl's friendship just seemed so natural, they're so supportive and open with each other. It was so wholesome. Its also so shocking at how even though two girls were trying to woo the same guy, they still remained friends???? Yes,I'm shocked too,didn't think that could happen in drama land.
•message- such a great message was portrayed through the female lead, it actually made me wish for good things for myself and to work as hard as she did for my dreams!
•made me learn alot about fashion- the female leads problems and what she did to solve some problems made me learn alot about fashion and I could relate to my marketing class that I was taking in College, it was amazing how they included such things in the show.

Now for what I didn't like:
•scene coherence- the scenes would randomly shift and sometimes there is no connection, I was extremely annoyed and sometimes would think "how did this happen", "how does she know", very confusing and unsettling.
•skipping of some important relationship points- you know some scenes are just so important in dramas and just make you feel fluffy on the inside, those were missing! I dont wanna spoil for everyone but what was the writer thinking?!
•basic on top of basic on top of basic- the drama would keep adding basic stuff on basic stuff. Dumb misunderstandings, hyperthimesia, cold male lead, struggling female lead, low eq high IQ male lead, cohabitation etc it was done ok but it just got a little predictable.
•writer tried to include too many things- the whole drama just included too many things that are suddenly introduced not developed well enough and solved,a little too fast. Especially the last few episodes just kept including so many unnecessary problems and made the solving of these problems, very rushed.
•dialogues- the dialogues were actually a little too cringy and I questioned the writers so many times. I couldn't take some scenes seriously as the dialogue was too funny or cringy.
•dragged- Even though I just complained about how it rushed things, now I'm doing the opposite lol, but bear with me. What I'm saying is what could have been stretched out, wasn't and what really could have been solved easily and handled better,was dragged. I did get lowkey annoyed sometimes, but it was bearable.
•the second female lead- this girl was actually super selfish and was forgiven way too fast for what she did. I couldn't believe how fast they solved her issue!
Overall I enjoyed the drama alot, watch if you want some inspiration (to help you keep going no matter how many times you fall!), a great female lead and alot of basic but cute scenes :)
