Not really worth watching

I like cheese, I like a little bit of cringe, and that's mainly the reason why I watch webdramas.

This one had both of those in spades. But I think they went wrong with how much emotional drama they tried to squeeze in. There were discussion of death, of driving people to their death, there was even a (not very implicit) suicide scene. They even gave the FL a terminal illness, only to leave that plot thread loose. Why go that deep? The mother's death to bring the magical dolls to life was more than enough. It was even a little bit frustrating how dumb the FL was in not even being a little bit suspicious by the fact four random guys with the exact names of her stuffed dolls mysteriously showed up and took residence in her home trailer.

Webdramas, especially of the idol kind, are not supposed to be analyzed that deeply because they're always, predictably, full of plot holes since they're typically meant to be little else than a bit of fanservice. But the writing in this was quite bad. It was like watching amateur fanfiction written by a 13-year-old come to life. The continuity was practically non-existent and the pacing was kind of awful. Same with the cinematography. This was probably extremely low budget, and it showed. The acting I'll give a pass on, since most of the cast are not trained professionals.

It was brave of whoever wrote this, however, to have idols act like such selfish jerks. I kept being consistently surprised by the reprehensible actions and behaviors of some of the characters. Really bold choice to paint, Jr. especially, in a very unfavorable light for pretty much 80% of the story.

In any case, unless you are a GOT7 diehard, I wouldn't recommend watching this. If you're hankering for an idol webdrama, the EXO one is 50 times better. Watch that one instead.
