Hello Chingus! Thank you for visiting my blog as always and I hope I can receive a comment from you here on my blog about your thoughts on this series I am review and on the content of my review as well. Knowing others opinion may help me view the drama in different way since I am bias sometimes. For today's blog I will be sharing to you my opinions and thoughts on the 2021 Korean Drama entitled "Idol: The Coup"
Have you heard this one or have you watched it already? As the title implies it is about Korea's Idol Life special Idol Groups. I started watching this drama series purely based on its title knowing it will be about Idols. To be honest, I am not knowledgeable on who are the main lead on this drama before watching it. I just really click it based on the title. If you already know, based on my previous blogs and reviews, first genre on my list was about Crimes and Mystery includes Law, next would be anything related to Korea's Entertainment Industry Series specifically Idols and Actresses.
Moving on, let me start my review on the things I've learned after watching this drama. First and foremost, achieving one's dream will not always be easy. I understand more that Korea's Idol really went through a lot if there will be issues against them and where they are now is not because they just beautiful or good looking. Every Idol really worked hard on doing their craft because in the real world, you are not the only one talented. There are somethings in our life that wasn't meant to be.
While watching this drama, I felt I was part of the group. Every time they failed I think I failed as well at the same time every time they succeed or they overcame any obstacles, I felt I overcame it as well. I cried a lot while watching this episode, I think there's always some part of every episode that I cried because like them I once dream of becoming someone failed and tried again. Just like them, I am still striving to wave my path on where I should belong that's why my tears really fell down every time there were I scene that reminds me of the struggles in the world.
How the story started was good. They started it showing that Cotton Candy, the name of the group, was already a failed group. They've been doing a lot of extras to handle their everyday expenses because the company they'd belong with can't find a proper job for them. They been given small guesting in community gatherings or guesting on a show will make fun of them as a failed group. I realize as well that once you are bound by a contract you need to fulfill them even you don't do anything anymore. You can't transfer to other agency until the contract expires and so on. It is really hard for them specially if the company isn't doing an effort to rebuild the group again.
As the story progress, Cotton Candy really tried their best to somehow make them known again but a lot of problems were happening to them from the personal issues up to the changes of the management and the death of their road manager. It really stressed me out and I think it is a good thing as a viewers since I was affected on the plot. I can't say that the scenarios are impossible because it is possible and it can happen to anyone who tries to become an artist.
Though the series ended on its 12th episode, I think the series was still great and ending it early is a good call. Why is it a good call? Because the story already encountered a lot of problems, problems that really is facing of Idols in the real world, and I think that would be enough to end it since those problems were already the climax and once the climax was reach it should be ended and not prolonged to much to avoid unnecessary boredom towards the series. Actually, this series ended as soon as the climax was reach wherein it is the day where they tried to become number 1 before disbanding as a group.
To share it with you, I really don't know anyone from the main leads. If I do it should be because I saw them as supporting cast on some series, extras or cameos only. But still, even though I have a little knowledge of them it doesn't affect the way I view the story and series as a whole, I became a fan of them as I continued watching the drama. They gave justice to the role and they give the proper emotions on every scene.
I started watching this drama when it started airing last November 23, 2022 but I was able to finish it last night January 1, 2022 not because I got bored but because I don't want to cry weekly so I decided to finish the series first so I can go all out crying while hoping they can make it to the top again. I should be done watching this on January but I became busy and stopped watching Korean Dramas for a while. But then again, we will always do the things we love to do and one of them was watching Korean Dramas. I am really hoping to receive comments down there, I allowed anonymous comments , so even you don't sign it its alright. I just wish that I can have interactions on my blogs. You can comment on your insights on this series as well to help others to decide if they will watch it or not.
Overall, It was a good drama. We can learn a lot from this series because I know we all have our own problems we should deal with. Let's face it and be better.
