Through the episodes, the teenagers improve in every single way. How will they perform? What iconic performances will they put on? With the show providing a stage for the group members, how far will the teenagers go and improve their performances? Watch the drama and find out.

The Feel-Good Part

To see youngsters perform some of the best sets is nice to see. What makes these performances all the more exciting and excellent is that there are various performance styles on multiple stages. These stages and performances give us so much variety. There is no feeling of repetitiveness or boredom when the performances have such a massive range. What’s more? The show also looks at the training and mental preparedness the group must undergo to put on these iconic showings. We, as audiences, get to see how much this means to the teenagers and how much work and effort they put into them, rather than appreciating the performances at face value when we can root for them and appreciate them even more.

The Disappointing Factor

When it comes to Asian boy groups, people tend to forget how young these boys are and, therefore, the sense of pressure and social imagery that can affect them significantly. By no means is that entire bathing considering that they manage to pull out an excellent performance and live out everyone’s dreams. It may come across as a bit invasive when you feel that rehearsals and preparations are something that requires concentration. Rehearsals are places where you can make mistakes and correct them, but when you are on camera, you may feel the need to be perfect every time, which is impossible in the industry. But then again, the show is trying to show us their process and everything they do to prepare for these fantastic performances.

In-Depth Analysis

Once again, this show is a reality show that centers around a boy group and their daily lives, however, instead of it being a look into their personal lives or a variety show filled with comedic moments.
