what’s it about
The travails of rising Korean singers and their “backup” dancers in the Korean entertainment industry.
Ji HyunWoo and Kim OkBin play a young couple who live to dance but Kim OkBin’s ambitions are far greater than her boyfriend’s. Her dreams include singing and superstardom. When she gets her opportunity, she ditches Ji HyunWoo without a second thought to make a name for herself. The drama starts with Ji HyunWoo and Kim OkBin but when unlucky-but-sweet-tempered Seo JiHye and cold-hearted kpop idol HwanHee are introduced, the quadrangle is complete.

wildcard factor
Real kpop singer HwanHee co-starred and he was a surprising bright spot. When we first meet his character Rex, he’s an emotionally aloof jerk, so there was a great deal of room for growth and development for his character and HwanHee delivered well in his acting debut.
after the first episode
Definitely a little cheesy, but a [sometimes] amusing pizza-pie. I can’t believe Kim OkBin is the same actress that recently starred in Park ChanWook’s Thirst and is garnering such international buzz. She’s come a long way because I soooo did not think she was very good in this drama. Just goes to show what a bad role can do to a good actress. Anyway, the drama’s concept was amusing enough to snag my desire to continue to the end.
