~Crazy that this was my first Japanese show about a music group. Maybe cuz I'm always in and out of Japanese pop culture. For a few years, I'll get into some bands, and then years after that, I'll lose touch with them and repeat! (Not anymore... its tiring catching up)~
Alright moving on:
I will admit that I did not like the female lead at first. She was just way too happy for me. And then you have her opposite the male lead, Dan, who was just way too grumpy for me! I'm glad that the members of the group acknowledged that Dan's attitude needed some fixing. In the show, we do find out why the FL always needs to put on a happy-go-lucky attitude. After that revelation she finally grew on me!
I love that in the show we got to see the many sides of the members of the group. And Dan finally cooled down! Hooray!!!! That was a huge relief for me. He was no longer aggravating. I began liking him. The vibe of the show and the personalities of the characters felt like a cool breeze on a hot day.
~*Also I love the female lead's sister! It's rare for me to see sisterhood in a Japanese TV show so it was so refreshing seeing it here! And the group's manager and his boyfriend were very cute! (Fun fact: the manager is the voice of Light in "Death Note")*~
The songs were amazing as well! I had to researched during the middle of the show are these boys an actual group?!!! Because I'm sold! It was such a journey seeing this boy group going from nothing to something. Seeing these ups and downs they had to go through. And seeing many people of different ages come to their support. So heartwarming!
Overall this was such a sweet, fun, cute and heartfelt dramedy. Sadly this show didn't had any laugh out loud moments ( the kind where I start tearing in my eyes). But it was still worth it. I saw this show last summer. I'd always watched it when the sun was setting. My TV is by the window so those beautiful sunsets really helped with the vibe of the show! It really reflected those feel good moments in an episode.
