Boring and long but still kinda fun

I started watching this drama by myself just on a whim while browsing Netflix, I stopped watching midway through because i got bored, I didn't find any of the characters very interesting and didn't care to see where the story was going. Then one day my friend who has no interest in k-dramas said she wanted to watch it because she was curious of why I enjoyed k-dramas, so i said why not.
Then it became more enjoyable because we just made fun of it together and criticized, our favorite character to make fun of was Chan Yeong, it was all his creepy advances to the Fm that we would always made fun of, its also worth pointing out how very clearly uncomfortable she is whenever he makes advances to her, an example being when he hugged her and she not hugging her back making it a very awkward moment and you can see shes clearly uncomfertable, we laughed a lot at that scene specially when they replayed it three times to make it more dramatic XD.
This show also shows how manipulative your superiors can be when it comes to work, and how they'll wanna take advantage of you, as seen with the president lady and ceo who make the characters compromise with their morals for a bottom line (music miming) we had good a conversation about having to draw boundaries when it comes to work. I liked the side characters, her two child hood friends who are always there for the FM, the manager lady and her love subplot with the led vocalist (i ship it) and the other crude play band members.
The music was overall pretty good, my friend specially liked "shiny boy" and jokingly said shes into k-pop know, the cinematography was also pretty good and the story and message weren't too bad.

Over all I wouldn't really recommend it, its just way too long, but if after reading this review you still wanna watch it be my guest. Id say I found it enjoyably nonetheless, my friend and I had a good time laughing at all the drama, and we now have a couple of inside jokes, and we constantly quote this drama all the time, my friend said she had fun but that she would not watch this or any other drama ever again, so make of that what you will.
