As someone who has watched K-dramas for many years now, I found this mix of American TV and Korean TV a really interesting concept. But in my opinion, it wasn't executed in the best way.
I wish they would have leaned more into the style of k-dramas: a more slow-paced and slow-burn style. Instead, this series felt messy. Sometimes it was hard to keep up with all the love triangles and the drama.
I don't think the actors did a bad job, but the lines and dialogue were often quite awkward, which didn't serve the actors any justice. But when it wasn't too much, I did occasionally enjoy the fluffy and corny feeling in this. Sometimes we even got some interesting thoughts from the main character that other teenage dramas don't touch on.
I also liked the incorporation of K-pop, there were many great songs in this. But again, it felt messy. There were almost too many songs and sometimes they didn't quite fit in. I wish they had stuck with a distinctive sound for this, instead of trying to cram in every popular K-pop song from the last few years.
Overall, I liked this idea, but it lacked cohesiveness and authenticity. I wish there had been more time to explore individual characters more, since there were many interesting stories in this.
