Boyband (2023)

Had a potential however poorly presented

I would describe my feelings about the series
The series starts very hard with numerous of hilarious encounters and very relatable moments. The episode made me feel like I really was part of the series. It got my interest from the begining and really seemed as it would be a no skip drama due it's unique concept which is based onto the nowadays most talked topic Idols.
Actors did well while portraying the characters yet short series and lack of screen time made it unable to develop anything, as for the production there were minor problems with some editing the biggest problem was it's shortness.
As the drama could have an amazing impact similar to KinnPorshe , I mean due it's interesting plot and story as well could have gained a lot from international audience in this part it flopped on many segments.
1st Story is packed in too short screen time. A lot of time skip. So developing a story not talking about love or characters is limited to the presented screen time.
2nd Actors due the reason above to properly get to know the character they are portraying. If developed properly they would be able to perform better get deeper into a characters.
3rd No feeling of the romance , unreasonable development of the love between characters.
4th Too much a mess there is a lot of everything but what drama stated it is it' basically not there. Struggles poorly presented, Shades done by other trainees well could have been done better. The most imoprtant love between characters there mostly is nothing.
5th Company not prepared for the interest from international fans as well Company taking the most popular topic and flopping it.
6th Companies treatment toward international fans as after one episode released they let international fans to wait for a week just to tell them that they aren't able to watch it and they weren't prepared for such an interest from Us. For me sorry but it's seems like bullsh** but really it looks like this excuse was well worthy cause this one had gem story but it didn't get justice.

As from me I would do it differently , this should be atleast 12ep drama where even the actors can get to know characters better. I would write a novel under that topic we will see.

Waste of time

Well. Had potential but it was a total waste of time. The story doesn't move. Full of gimmicks, if they had used all the fast pace to present the story this could have been much better. Add to it the sudden decision to block it for payment instead of initial YouTube release and suddenly ending it on cliffhanger just doesn't generate enough curiosity to want a second season. Rather felt like, "Finally, its over! ". The acting was one of the plus points, also location cinematography. But otherwise it was zilch. No character development,no story progression, nothing. The characters & story was linear at best. Music should have been better as it is a boyband show but the only thing I remember is Fluke's cameo and the last duet. Gave one point for Fluke. There are better shows available out there.
