    Good Enough

    Korean Drama "Idol: The Coup" was, surprisingly, a really good idol drama. The music was great, the drama just enough. And it wasn't overburdened by any romance. Rather, it was friendship-focused, with sweet dynamics between the girls and nice progress when it came to their struggles on becoming an idol group with another hit. The ending was bittersweet and unexpected as well.

    And, even though most members of the cast are idols, all the performances are great and quite emotional. Maybe they even gave their own flare to the drama too.

    In addition, the pace was excellent and the drama managed to wrap up everything in just a few episodes without missing anything. However, the ending needed more time to be properly presented nad it did feel overstuffed and rushed.

    So, overall, 8 out of 10.

    Applause 👏🏻

    It's a really good series. It feels like a roller coaster. Each of the five main female characters is portrayed realistically. Every episode can make you cry. It's really worth seeing. It breaks my heart to see the difficulties that all the idols go through every episode. But seeing them holding on to each other makes me feel at ease. I learned so much through this. It teaches courage, survival, honesty, understanding, patience, and more. Each of them has their own strengths and identity. I was really surprised by how good the acting was. They are really good actors and actresses. Applause 👏🏻 Thank you so much for creating such an amazing series.

    Lazy

    This entire drama was like babysitting children. The amount of fights and ear piercing screams was mind numbing. Having a loud fight for every other scene is one of the worst ways to create tension. Its weight and impact diminish and become redundant the more they result to the same tactics.
