I may be biased because I love fantasy and idol dramas, but this show has an unfairly low score (61%? It deserves at least to be in the mid 70s). So much happened in each and every episode that it was impossible to get bored. I remember thinking by episode four how it felt like I'd watch double the amount of episodes because of how much story had already been tackled. And even if "good vs evil" is not my favorite trope (villains being bad just for the sake of it is boring), I still really enjoyed every other aspect of the show. The leads had good chemistry, even if perhaps their romantic spark was a little lackluster. But I liked their rapport, especially when Gam Jae was added into the mix. I also really liked how the show blended its serious moments with lots of little, hilarious pockets of comic relief. The cute sound effects and switch to funny music during weighty scenes had me laughing more than once. Another aspect that was a positive was how Lembrary helped each of his group members overcome their emotional pain. I thought the camaraderie and brotherhood idols develop with their group members was very nicely portrayed. And I think dedicating a little time to show how each of them wrestled their feelings of disappointment and discouragement after not seeing all the blood, sweat and tears they'd poured into becoming successful pay off, made it all the sweeter and more significant when they finally overcame these dark emotions and finally got to reap the benefits of all their hard work. Fractured groups coming back together is my favorite aspect of idol dramas (besides, I have the softest spot ever for BTS, and Wild Animal living all on top of each other and their company being small heavily reminded me of how they started off). The one thing I will say, though, is that I would have liked to see more performances. There wasn't nearly enough singing and dancing. Final positive aspect? No love triangle. And the bonus of the unexpected twist involving Redrin. I think for anyone that enjoys idol culture and shows, and fantasy, this'll be a good fit. Personally, I thought it was great!

It is a fun and entertaining show that is sure to please fans of K-pop. However, it is not without its flaws.

I totally enjoyed this Korean drama! I thought it might be just another cliché love story with body switching, but man, they went deep into mental health and brought in religion or some higher power stuff. It was cool to see the challenges faced by Korean idols and even regular employees. This funny and cute drama might seem simple, but it's loaded with symbolism we can relate to. That's why I gave it eight stars out of ten.

Go Bo-gyeol is so cute ! i watched this show for her but the down fall was Redlin and the fights with Devil ; [spoiler] Lembrary powers are so useless that he either missing them or doesnt fight even if he has them [/spoiler] Neverthless i would give it a shot just for the cute idol romance.

I grew far more fond of this drama than I ever thought I would. Our lead trio was played perfectly, with Go Bogyeol (Kim Dal) being the standout for me. The supporting cast did a good enough job, some better, some you can tell don't have the most acting experience yet. There is a lot of heart in this that makes more than up for it though.
