I was really looking forward to this drama, and was fairly happy with it a few episodes in. Unfortunately, it crashed and burned horribly from the 8th episode out. Noble Idiocy, amnesia, cancer and murderous second leads were just some of the ill-fitting makjang tropes that were used between episodes 8-16. WHY??
My Rating: 6.5 (Extra point for Eun Ji’s singing)
In Short: This drama SHOULD have been the story of Jung Eun Ji’s character’s path in the music industry with some zippy side characters and a cute romance. Instead, the drama felt claustrophobic, like there is only one rival to threaten your career as a rookie is in any way plausible. The plot got totally lost in standard male lead idiocy and completely bonkers female second lead murderous tendencies. What a waste.
Pros: Jung Eun Ji is fantastic. Every time she sang, I forgot the drama was horrible. I want her to get another good leading role, as this drama wasted her talent completely. The secondary characters were also very cute (Shin Bora was especially funny here)
Cons: Everything in the plot for the second half of the drama. Especially the final episode was horrible for me, as it had every single person acting out of character.
