I think this show REALLY picked up last week and I'm excited to see how things end for my beloved Cotton Candy girls.
The amount of parallels to EXID's early days as well as how mediaplay, crazy fandom, plagiarism etc. have been portrayed aaaaaaahhh *chef's kiss*
Deserves better ratings tbh!

Date: 2021-12-03 01:09 am (UTC)solbin really surprised me! i would love to hear what you think about her character as you go through the episodes.
that scene with el at the studio really set the tone of the series i think.

Yeah after typing this I checked Iqiyi and it still is locked down to VIP but then I found it on another site! YES! I will start watching it again tomorrow night! :)

Date: 2021-12-07 04:16 pm (UTC)The one group I really liked only lasted two to three years and I remember them suing their company because they didn't pay for the electricity in their apartment they were all out working part time just to put food on the table.
As the episodes have continued I am laughing at the CEO and JiHan relationship they are acting more goofy to each other then in the beginning.
I am glad by episode 8 that it seems Cotton Candy is getting to have a 2nd chance. I really want Bbiyong to go away it seems like all of their bad luck seems to somehow involve him and I am not sure what his beef is with them! The funny part is I really like the actor that is playing Bbiyong so everytime he curses I laugh!
Looking forward to the other episodes!
