The movie is about a group of idols in training who dream of getting up on a stage to perform. Gu Yang has been playing the piano since he was a child, and because of his talent, he got accepted to the Julliard School of Music, but his family went bankrupt, and he can no longer go to Julliard as planned.

The Feel-Good Part
I love shows about idol trainees. They somehow tell the reality of an idol’s life, to some extent. I like the portrayal of friendship in this series and how an idol trainee lives his daily life.
The Disappointing Factor
Some viewers are confused about this series being a remake or a part of the last Airbender series. The series could get boring for some viewers who are not interested in any drama that deals with the entertainment industry and the lives of idol trainees.

Overall, the theme behind the show has been kept well. The series focuses on the lives of idol trainees and how their practice for their careers affects their personal lives as well. The production does lack in some places, but the show is good enough to watch. It may not be a 10/10 show but it is an easy watch.
