whoever rated this drama 1 star, did you even watch the show like ????? youd know all their points about nepotism are wrong if you actually looked at the screen while watching the show. the director made it clear that she accepted jeongnyeon just as an understudy because if she accepted her as a normal trainee, the others would think she was accepted because of her connections with moon okgyeong and not her talent (AND SHE WAS ACCEPTED AS AN UNDERSTUDY BECAUSE OF HER TALENT)
and isnt the whole point of the show that shes poor but blessed with a voice gifted from the heavens?? so the only nepotism that she has is her voice inherited from her mother, like brotha are you fr
glad you dropped the show because you don't deserve to watch it loser

Anyway, that just irked me a little so i had to say something.

i'm really glad this is a female-centered drama because you rarely see those these days and admist korea's uhhh lets just say gender problem.
i am disappointed they removed jeongnyeons gf from the drama but considering koreans censorship (aka homophobia and antifeminism; i had to clarify for that loser in my replies), this is pretty decent (no men cast !!!!!)

actors are casted well. ive always been a fan of kim taeri and she always does a great job. and jung eunchae is really fine lmao. (edit after ep 12 shin yeeun so fine guys shes so bad like damn she so fine she actually soooo fine)

personally ive never been interested in traditional korean singing but this show keeps me intrigued and i do look forward to future episodes.

will probably update later but thats all i have to say for now

edit: okay just finished the show, and I must say the acting was soooo good, like definitely award-worthy. shin yeeun is really an incredible actress and woo davi too. like wow, their skills are genuinely top-tier
I really respect the effort the cast put into the show, like the years of vocal training, dance lessons, etc.

a few things that i was not happy about was a lot of the writing, like yes they took out jeongnyeons gf which is bad already but i did not like how they wrote hyerang too. there are a few plot holes and even though the ending is alright like its appropriate i guess, but its not satisfying enough and i think we need at least a prologue.

however i am actually very grateful for this drama like its not very often where a kdrama as an all female reoccuring cast. this is probably the only one i can name and i did thoroughly enjoy watching this show. i hope they do make more shows like this in the future and i will cherish this drama for the rest of my life.

update 2: after processing the ending for a few days, ive been lurking on twitter and jeongnyeon and juran were supposed to kiss in the original script during the final goodbye scene in ep 11??? im so pissed that changed. i didnt mention this before but when i was watching that scene i cried so much i was sobbing. why would they write juran as a character that liked making all those pledges with jeongnyeon but then at the end she has no choice but to break them. im so sad. And when they said goodbye, juran was wearing the bird pin she and jeongnyeon both got when they vowed to do gukgeuk till they were old. i actually cant. the endings so bad in that aspect. why would they do this. we basically get no clarity.

okgyeong and hyerang were also supposed to kiss too before okgyeong finally left.. im also unhappy about how okgyeong just left with no appearance in the last two episodes??? I get her reasoning, but its selfish, and she really left a single mom and her kid bro. like yeah hyerang messed the freak up but okgyeong was really awfully inconsiderate for that.

but yeah im just really unhappy with the ending. like dont get me wrong, it's such a great drama, but an ending like that would never bring it justice. the ending as in the ending scene itself was good; its just that a lot of the important characters relationships are left off at a not good point. aside from jeongnyeon juran and okyeong hyerang, what about yeongseo and her mom? what happened with that? and what about the director? what is she gonna do w/o maeran? is it really their last performance? what the frick are all of them gonna do after? theres too many questions to be asked.
The only way to fix this is with a second season !!! and also no men next season. id be sad if they made a s2 that was just jumping forward in time. i need to see jeongnyeon and yeongseo crash jurans wedding.

extra note: juran lowkey got more screen time than hyerang and okgyeong like woo davi should get credit as a main cast member
