Plot
Woo Hyun (Park Yoo-Hwan) is the leader and most popular member of idol boy band m2. He acts like a sweet person, but he is actually mean and arrogant.
Seung-Yeon (Ko Eun-Ah) plays classic piano at a music school in England. Because Seung-Yeon decided to play Beethoven in her own way, the school kicked her out. On her flight back to Korea, Seung-Yeon vomits on Woo Hyun, who is returning to Korea after a concert in England.
Back in Seoul, Seung-Yeon stays at Ji-Woo's (Kwak Yong-Hwan) house and does not tell her parents that she is back. Seung-Yeon and Ji-Woo are best friends. Ji-Woo is a trainee at Sunny Management Company.
Sunny Management decides to overhaul boy band m2 with new members. The present members will be "graduated," but fans of m2 oppose the idea and demonstrate outside of Sunny Management's office. Sunny Management holds an audition, which Ji-Woo takes part in. Due to being nervous, Ji-Woo fails his audition. His audition video is posted on the internet. This riles up fans of m2 even more, complaining how the applicants are worse. Hyun-Seok (Hong Kyung-Min), president of Sunny Management, holds a press conference and announces that they will pick new members of m2 through fan voting. A survival audition is then held.

It was a very addictive movie! I love shows that have characters like girls dressing like boys for reasons and then the girl that dresses up like a boy falls in love and having problems to let the public to know their relationship! :) The ending was a bit sad as it was very short and it ended without knowing whether they get together and like their relationship let to the public and also whether Seung Yeon is still in M2 junior or did she get kicked out. :( I expected more of it. I really really hope that there will be a season 2! I'm very excited to see season 2! :)

I liked the drama alot, i just don't like how they cut the story so short. It feels like they cut off scenes from here and there was hard to keep up sometimes. And whats up with the ending???? I thought the ultimate audition would mean when those 8 compete against each other and then just to make the viewers happy they all get placed in a idol group that wouldnt be called M2. When Ji Seung Jeon's secret was revealed I was actually waiting for a bit more drama.It's like a whole episode got cut out. As I said, I lied the drama but Im a bit disappointed. And one last thing.Why do they promote with a picture of Ji Seung Jeon doing the coolest move but theres actually only two scenes where he dances (alone I mean)????? Very disappointing. And very misleading.

OMG....
I FINSHED THE DRAMA TODAY AND THIS DRAMA ITS AWESOME.
The ending was kind of a let down. I will love to contact the producer/director for season 2.
The drama is barely conplete so Season 2 is not a bad idea.
Note to producer/director:
Other than that we support you. You may have low ratings but if we could help please let us know.
I mean your leaving your fans with unanswerd questions. If we could gather 4,000 ... 10,000 fans will you make season 2?

at 1st im just curious about this drama,the plot seems like the other drama HIS BEAUTIFUL where the mean star act like a boy to get into the group...its also like DREAM HIGH 2 they want to realize there dream and work hard on it...but both drama had a good ending and leave audience satisfied that im sure some even rewatch it coz i did...no matter how i recreate the ending of this drama still leave me with alot of unanswered question....like how they solve ji seung yeon problem,,where she hide, and who bring her back??what happen to the last showcase, who made it in to m2...and finally what happen to president jang and team leader han love story??did he stop her from leaving?or did he finally let her kn0w what he truelly felt toward her????this is agood drama but i wish they wont leave audience hanging like this....and also i hope they could come up with part two with a good ending this time....and finally people should not judge it harshly they should watch it 1st and consider the effort of those pe0ple behind this drama.....

If only I live in Korea, I'd probably watch this series every freaking night. And it probably has 16 episodes if we are all in Korea. The producers should have gotten the decency to finish this. It was frustrating when you knew that episode 14 doesn't feel like it's gonna end. It was a freaking cliff hanger!T eam Leader Han was leaving Korea? What happened to that? President Jang didn't even get to confess his feelings, who are the people who got in to m2? Whatever happened to Seung Yeon's scandal? She was back from hiding then everything is over.. THE END. It pisses me off. I can't get over it!!

I totally agree with the last poster. This Korean drama got me drawn in the story concept and all the performers who did amazing job in which made me addicted to the drama. I hope that I can purchase this drama later on. However, the ending left me unsatisfied due to many wondering questions as mentioned earlier here. Even though, I read from viki's website in which the drama got bad ratings or comments from their audiences so, the drama got cut short.
I wished there was more to this drama instead of a short/rushed ending because this drama got personal and can be judge easily until you watched to the end...
Hopefully, there is a second season of this k-pop the ultimate audition instead of unfinished businesses...

I know that most people give this up because of the first episode, like the bloggers on Dramabeans.com but if they stopped complaining, paid more attention to the show and actually watched 1 or 2 more episodes of the show, they'll realize that the actors at first start out a little exaggerated but eventually learn to make their characters come out. After 2-3 episodes, both Go Eun Ah and Park Yoo Hwan start to add more expressions and start to feel the character more. You can see that they've improved their acting through facial expressions, and through the emotion of their eyes. So, give up if u want to but if you guys sit down, and watch the drama without judging it every second of the way and making fun of it, you might actually enjoy it. I don't automatically judge a drama from it's first episode nor do I judge it because it has rookie actors, I give it a fair try and see if the drama actually has potential. And based on my opinion, this drama does have amazing potential and is currently on my top 10 drama list..

I loved Ko Eun Ah in this drama. But, as the male lead is not so good looking, I could not digest Ko Eun Ah becoming close to the male lead, and I stopped watching the drama after few episodes.

I don't get the ending at all... So, they never revealed that she was a girl? This is confusing, shouldn't there be at least another two episodes for them to deal with the whole revelation? It's like the story just hang there...

It started very well and the story line was really good but the resolution of the drama
wasn't well emphasized.
I wonder why they shorten the drama?
supposedly it should have 16 episodes, right?
still...I didn't regret watching it. ^^''

i think this show should be have part 2...it's very nice...
or make a special episode...like usually japan drama...
i really want to know what happened to M2 Junior, the President etc....

I like this drama so much.
But it's disappointing that this drama only has 14 episodes, it deserves more.
If somebody knows a korean drama about music like you're beautiful / dream high 1 & 2, just tell !
hehe I like those kind k-drama's.

grrrrrrrr. i got really annoyed by kim eun jung. tf with her? and i don't like the dirty tactics of team leader han, though it's better that way to make the story colorful. but i just can't stand kim eun jung's character.

Yo creo ke fue muy buena, pero si el capitulo 14 fue el final, pues dejo mucho ke desear, ya ke hay muchas cosas ke no se explican y por lo visto hace algo compicado entender el desenlace.
Saludos!!!!!

SO SO SO SO DISAPPOINTED i didn't get the 14th episode it was such a rush and how did they deal with Ji Seung Yeon being a girl?????? and how did their lovely couple end????
Lei Says:
May 06 2012 9:34 pm
hate the way they ended this series... everything was rushed, so much things that need clarification, there's only 2 more episode to go why cut it now... they should let it finished properly why let the viewers hanging... i agree with them, broadcasting stations don't stick to the episodes they plan when the viewer ratings are so low they cut the series immediately, even for some variety shows... but i think its not only in korea, almost all countries do this things... I HOPE THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL, so that this series ends properly... FIGHTING M2 JUNIOR...
Jade Evans Says:
May 04 2012 4:17 am
I just watched the 14th episode. I agree that it left the viewer hanging. For this reason I hope that it means that they are coming out with a K POP 2.
With a 2nd season, there would be even more episodes than the original 16. Plus, we could find out what the 'Manager' decides to do... How the company will survive... Will they keep all of M2 Junior together (I hope)... And possibly hear a wonderful duet. Oh yeah, we could also learn all about everyone's relationships.
Please... Oh, Please... Let there be a second season.

this drama was so good, slow at first. To be honest it didn't seem that interesting at first but you gotta watch 1 or 2 episodes to get into. It's different from from you're beautiful and the guys of m2 junior are hilarious. For those of you who don't know, it's not that they wanted to cut the show to 14 episodes but they were forced to due to low viewer ratings in korea so the broadcast station wouldn't let them air it anymore. Wish we could be included in that lol. I was so hoping that in the end none of the guys of M2 Junior would get cut and instead the president would debut them as a whole group.

I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED WITH CHANNEL A!!!!!!!!! I REALLY HATE WHEN KOREAN BROADCAST COMPANIES SHORTEN THEIR DRAMAS!!!!!!!!
This drama was so good, but the ending was REALLY disappointing!! The worst ending ever!! What happened to everyone else? I still want to see to the very end!!!!! AND COME ON!!! IT IS ONLY 2 DAMN MORE EPISODES!!! WHY THE HELL DO THEY NEED TO SHORTEN THE DAMN GOOD DRAMA AND NOT AIR THE 2 LAST REMAINING EPISODES!!!!
I'M REALLY MAD AND PISSED!!!!
ARmanlapaz02 Says:
May 02 2012 5:45 pm
They rushed to end it at episode 14... i didn't like the ending at all.. there was no Han Team Leader and Jang Director love confirmation and they didn't show how they dealt with Ji Seung Yeon being a girl... aish.. i had high hopes for this series.. if only they finished all 16 episodes it would have been perfect.
