Honestly better than I expected(?)

I started watching this because of Jun. Honestly I didn't really look forward to it, I started watching because I saw that Jun is a band member in the drama, which made me interested because I'm a sucker for bands. I was a bit worried that I would stop in the middle like I did with Imitation (hell, I didn't even get into the middle, I stopped at 2 because his character was annoying). And I almost did it with this drama too. I almost didn't continue it because again, his character is annoying. Like, I know his character is going through a lot. But... his character is so tiring. But you know, there are some soft moments, not gonna lie. But a lot, maybe even too many times he's pretty annoying. But his annoying, "perfectionist" self led to the development at THE VERY END. I liked his ending. It felt really nice to see Taein develop, going back to his roots with his friends to make the music that they like and have an amazing time on stage.

Throughout the drama there were quite a lot of complications when they just wanna perform. Taein fainting on the concert, heavy rain that the whole event just stopped. Finally got to perform when they had a home concert, or at rehearsals (and even for a few of them they couldnt do properly because of the conflicts) At the home concert though they were enjoying it and all, Taein still had his heart closed when they had the talk session. Though at the end they didn't exactly have a talk session at their little gig, it was so much nicer to see, and Taein already opened his heart. They all seemed to really, fully enjoy it by then.

But other than that? Well, if I can be completely honest, I never exactly liked characters disguising/faking themselves in genres that aren't like, action, mystery, thriller, etc. because it's pretty frustrating to watch the FL walking on eggshells, sometimes having an oopsie that would've got her caught. I kept wondering when, where, how she would reveal her true identity. But in this case, of course Taein had to find out the hard way, exactly right before she was going to tell him, he found out by himself. And as frustrating as it is, it really went as I expected. Taein who had already softened up by at least 75% lost his temper and became cold once again. But you know what, I'd have to say, I didn't expect the sudden sasaeng plot though. I thought the employee would be like, a spy from the rival company trying to find dirt on the company to bring them down or something. That was kinda... wild. And terrifying I should say.

I feel like I already ranted about the music at the start, but for real, the music is the best part about this drama. I always really like band music, I love all the songs they had for Luna. (Haven't listened to the other songs in the OST album that were sung by other artists, and I probably should listen to them.)
