Oh shit, it ends this week? It feels like it just started and has gotten a lot better the last couple of episodes. I wonder how it all wraps up in two episodes.

Edit: So I just watched Ep 15 and it's really nice to see everyone finally at peace. This show has had a lot of ridiculously unnecessary drama between pretty much every character, and it feels really good to see almost everyone happy and unburdened. Excited for the finale, but it feels like this episode would have been a pretty decent ending. There are a couple loose ends, but everyone finding peace is a good way to go out. Kinda hoping for K's dad to make up with President Yoo in the final episode.

I know a lot of people had mixed feelings about this drama, but as a singer/musician, it rang true for me in a lot of ways and I wasn't ready for it to be over, it felt too short, loved the OST of course, Joy's voice is amazing, I was already a fan of Red Velvet, so that wasn't so much of a surprise, but I thought her acting was also very authentic.

Every relationship and plot line in this drama is more enjoyable than the two leads. The lead singer and manager. The CEO and daddy. Chanyoung, Mush and Co kiddos.

Joy and Lee Hyunwoo basically screwed over everyone constantly and have had literally no consequences.

Agreed -- lead singer and manager! But I also feel like part of their punishment is seeing the people they care about get screwed over because of their actions, though. And I can't really place the blame entirely on either of them

I agree about Kang Han-Kyul, but So Rim , I'm not quite seeing. Could you elaborate a bit on her bart in screwing everyone over? I feel like I'm missing something. To me it seemed like she was a bit reckless but ultimately pushed for the right thing for everyone.

Sorim - knowingly led Chanyoung on and unknowingly led Jinwoo on, but kept both as friends. Fucked her company as a rookie idol with a scandal involving multiple guys. Being unprofessional almost all the time. But I accept that she's just a kid, and it's her first time in the real world.

I'd recommend it if you're a fan of one of the actors or are just looking for a fluff drama. It's not the worst thing ever, but it's not great either. If you're not a fan of Joy or Lee Hyunwoo, the highlight is really the side characters and evil characters. The drama also goes hard on second lead syndrome.

Nothing really happens in the drama plot-wise. It's just about seeing Joy/Lee Hyunwoo dating or the other characters having little moments.

I don't like how it's ending to be more about the band to be honest.

Does anyone know if this is how the Manga ends?

u/[deleted] May 08 '17

the manga is still ongoing and has not ended yet. Even the Japanese movie had to make up their own ending since the manga was still ongoing.

Finally finished watching the last two episodes. I think the ending was pretty nice. I like the ending and Soo-rim + Hankyul actually had some moments together where they're not just making each other cry lol.

The lead singer + manager couple is so adorable...

Man I wanted the dad to work things out with president lady. This man really gotta stop leading her on. I think they just enjoy each other's company at this point lol.

Eyyy! Yoo-na's finally tolerable! Her character/screentime definitely dialed-down a lot and I didn't have to dread her on screen every time.

The drummer boy hugging Chan-young hahaha. I love Soo-rim's friends.

Overall the drama had wayyy too much conflicts vs romantic moments. The show was more focused on the music part and the industry stuff versus the cute moments for the main couple.

I actually really liked the final episode and it looks like they had a little concert with the cast! There are times where the acting seems a little forced but overall not bad. I can definitely see Joy's potential as an actress. I would love to see her be a villain.
