I can’t deny that I enjoyed this drama, it just didn’t really introduce anything spectacular or new, so I don’t really know what rating to give it. I went into this not even knowing it was about a kpop band, and as soon as I found out, it felt a little too meta for me. Kind of like that book “Carry On” by Rainbow Rowell where the book is a fanfiction of a character from her other book? Yeah that, but with TREASURE and with them acting like high school students but at the same time basically playing “self-inserts” (D&D word, sorry) of themselves. It was just kind of weird. I also admit that I literally COULD NOT for the life of me tell them apart even though I don’t usually struggle with this sort of thing in kdramas. I am absolutely horrible at recognizing faces in general, and these kpop boys all had the same clothes and the same haircuts. But I digress. I think you’d probably really enjoy this if you’re a treasure fan. I know I’d be rating this 10/10 if the same drama was filmed with BTS. As an outsider and a critic of the actual drama’s value, though, I have to give this a 6/10. On a positive note, I really loved how beautifully this drama was filmed. It felt really clean and crisp, and the special effects and set design were *chef’s kiss*.
