This is an alright show so far, worth a try.

This being based on a webcomic I view as my guilty pleasure & a nice, fuzzy reread, the kdrama is a bit iffy.

I think story wise it's pretty smooth! They changed details, added new, removed some, and it works well. Also, I'm a fan of stories about k-pop industry with its drama, concept, and music so it's no surprise I'm watching it. In this case, it wasn't bad; it was enough for me to continue watching, just not enough for me to be obsessed on any degree. It has its lighthearted, funny moments as well as some nice acting and singing scenes. Several of the side characters are likable or at least interesting.

On the other hand, I don't really like the leads (or a decent amount of the cast... La Lima/Ri-ma is my favorite character personality and acting wise; she's so good!). Anyways, maybe it's their acting, their appearance, their lack of depth, but a mix of all those aspects has caused me to like them a lot less. I'm all for "the cool guy falls in love with someone and is so endearing" but so far (and considering how this season is almost over I believe), the chemistry is weak and their moments are kept to a minimum (I wish we could've seen more of Maha falling in love with Ryoc).

I would say to give the show a shot but if you drop it halfway, that's totally understandable.

P. S. The drawing of Ryoc on that little notepad in one of the episodes was so cute -w-
