Katala May 30 2022 7:06 pm Decent ending for the main story (Cotton Candy's journey), but I get why we demand for Season 2. The lukewarm fondness of CEO Cha to Jena is sooo interesting to be deepened or continued. His small gestures of care and concern is grand enough to be heart-touching—makes us craving for more deep view into their relationship, no? And besides of that thing that (I admit) I've might romanticizing too little bit, I want to see how it goes for Cotton Candy members with their new occupation. Seems worthy to be made to chicklit drama like Age of Youth or Be Melodramatic.

Water May 16 2022 8:31 am Lead roles wise, I love how they positioned Jena's character and appearance so flexible and neutral, that when she's with CEO Cha she doesn't look like a sugar baby, and when she's with Jihan she doesn't look like a sugar mommy. One of the few triangle tropes where I can't take sides. They took "I am at the age where I can date the dad or the son" very well here ㅋㅋㅋ Overall fine packaging of this kind of drama. It's interesting to watch with all its ups and downs.

So Lala May 04 2022 10:31 am Ah... I have no idea the 1st episode will be that heavy. Or maybe it's just for me, the 2nd Gen fan that no longer into kpop after my favorite groups either disband or just... gone. So, yeah, it really hits home, right in the feels. In the beginning of the episode I was so mad at Jena, I hate seeing her suffer. Towards the end I still hate seeing her suffet but God... My heart really goes for her, I'm fcking cry I didn't even see those tears coming. I decide to watch this with no expectations at all, but that was a good start... A little bit too personal actually since I was fan of those kind of groups haha sad :'D overall it's good depiction, a tribute to those kind of groups IRL

Meagan Apr 13 2022 12:55 am Please please I beg let there be a season 2 please.This is a fan begging.

Toofat Mar 14 2022 11:17 pm Please new season...wanna see d love line between Jana & Jae Hyuk...the story line also very good...

Jinsomnia Mar 10 2022 4:32 pm I didn't hear anything about it, i started it totaly blind, It Was Soooo Good, i cried so hard while watching this

Sam Kun Mar 05 2022 4:05 pm For a Kpop drama this drama is very intense and dramatic. I was hesitant in watching it but I was really wrong as it's a very very good drama. For me it's the best drama of 2021. It reminds me of Dream High but more dramatic. They nailed everything from the acting, the story and the OSTs. This drama reminds me the old japanese dramas that I really loved many years ago as it's a slice of life one where everyone is fighting for their future despite hardships. 10/10 for me.

liv Feb 21 2022 7:22 am i love the OST for this drama! i still listen to it now. although there is a low chance for it, i really hope there will be a season 2 for this drama. i enjoyed it so much! every monday and tuesday i would get home from school as fast as i could to watch the next episode. i saw this drama being advertised on an external website so decided to check it out and i am so happy i did!

jihan Jan 27 2022 3:03 pm This drama made me bawled my eyes out. I watch bad and crazy in the morning, and this in the evening coz i just want to cry. I cry everytime du-ho shows up after the incident. Like, the acting is surreal. You just find yourself crying as well when Hani cries. I just find it amusing that the Cotton Candy's leader have her own ways to handle problems. That she always look at the positive side of everything. I need that kind of mindset. For Kim Min Kyu, he improved a lot from Produce X101 up until now, His acting is becoming more and more natural. I didnt expect that tbh. The soundtracks... Mars' Cloud9 is my favorite. The song with chae-a is quite good too. Chae-a looks like Jisoo of Blackpink and HyunJi looks like Girls Day Hyeri. I became a fan of Chae-A throughout the series. Good Job All In All!

Nia Jan 14 2022 12:12 pm I finished watch the last episod right now. Wow. This is so good!

Karla Jan 13 2022 12:09 am I just finished watching this drama and oh my gosh it made me feel depressed. It’s just that every episode, they seem to experience bad luck all the time. ? I liked the drama though. I finished watching it in 2 days!

diwaiji Dec 28 2021 1:21 pm This is such a great drama! I cried a lot, but only because the acting, script and their situations really hit home. Sad that the rating is so low but well, not all dramas/shows with high rating are that great anyway, so..

TRSHLRT Dec 24 2021 11:20 pm I hope there will be season 2. The actors are great!

Anony Dec 22 2021 3:30 am Not sure why the rating was so low on this drama. The acting was pretty good by the whole cast. One of the better dramas with the K-pop idol theme. I actually loved this kdrama.

Jairelle Dec 16 2021 1:06 am I know I'm like two days late from watching the last episode but...I can't believe that's it's over...it hits so close to home. This has got to be one of my favorite k-dramas of 2021! I'm sending so much love for the cast! Heart heart~

CottonCandyDebut Dec 15 2021 1:23 pm For KDrama_lover, all actors and actresses you see on screen as idols are the one who sings their songs. They are all idols but Stella's actress being just an actress and Ray's actor also not being an idol.

yellowstrat Dec 15 2021 9:01 am Imho, the actresses that play the Cotton Candy members did this drama so well, and I hope to see them in more dramas, esp Green and Exy, who is debuting on a TV Drama...

Kdrama_Lover Dec 15 2021 6:09 am who was behind their voices,? I really love all the OSTs specially "Honest" I'm so obsessed with this song. I was looking forward to the story of CEO cha and Jenna, but it ended. I wish they make the season 2. Plus we don't know the past of Jenna and in one of the episode she said that if they make it to the top music show, she wanna find her parents and see their reactions. She said that she wanna see them guilty and make them feel regret for they did to her.

This Is The Real Deal Dec 15 2021 12:04 am This drama is like damn underrated. Everything from their acting to their OST are like excellent. I’m sure if it by any chance made it to Netflix there will be more people viewing. The start of the drama has too many conflicts in my opinion, like Elle (Kang Yu Ri) and cotton candy have a love hate relationship so that leaves too less content for the following episodes. I know there is like an impossible chance that there might be a season 2 seeing it’s a k drama but that doesn’t stop me from wishing there might be. I also like how the drama doesn’t focus on romance unlike most k dramas but more on the journey of cotton candy getting no.1. Finally, I thought it was really sad that they disbanded and went their different ways although they didn’t get no.1. Will definitely recommend this Amazing drama to others!

Fizzi Dec 14 2021 9:58 pm Awesome drama & great casts. Feels like 12 episodes ain't enough.

Scorpio Dec 14 2021 8:15 pm actually it's one of the underrated and great drama but too many cry scene

Leein Dec 14 2021 1:18 pm One of the most underrated drama tgis year. Idk why the heck the rating is low. It's a great drama , catchy songs, great story and very entertaining altho 2 episodes finale was a bit rush seems like they just wants to find another conflicts to spice up the story, it's unnecessary. I wish they will be season 2, I know it's focused on cotton candy not romance but I would love to see Jena and CEO cha story more, if its end there, it feels incomplete, so please, please make season 2

Dewe Dec 14 2021 10:14 am Loved this drama, defo one of my favorites for 2021, prettt sad not more people gave it a chance. The idol actors did a pretty decent job (esp hani and solbin), and the supporting seasoned actors made sure it stayed a legit tv shows. My only gripe is they spent too little time on Stella's past (The resolution was too abrupt) and on Hyunji-grandma's story (we knew it was coming but they just plopped it there at the end out of nowhere).

Cottoncandyfighting Dec 13 2021 11:04 am I love this drama!!!! I cried a lot ? from the first ep up to the current episode huhu.

M Dec 13 2021 10:42 am I wished they made promotions on music shows to boost this drama. The soundtracks are great and very catchy. Actually this drama is great, it tackles the hardships of the idols and the things they consider in their lives. It's time for the artists' personal lives and struggles be heard. It's sad that this drama as well as Imitation got low ratings despite having idols as leads. These dramas discusses the real life or possible situation of idols' lives. Then again, I wish that the soundtracks will be released and there will be live performances for it, please. Congratulations to the whole team and the team behind it and the songs.

Nash Dec 11 2021 12:10 pm Just watched the 4th episode and I'm hooked..so addictive and emotional.. highly recommended..even the osts are super good. The cast have done a superb job in playing their roles.. I usually give up most of the Idol dramas in the middle cus the plot starts to become boring...but this plot is really interesting..looking forward to watch the next few eps..

Gift Dec 10 2021 4:31 pm I like this drama but I'm just so tired of seeing them cry in every episode. Paparazzi/ Media is scary.

Tacchan Dec 09 2021 10:06 pm Original soundtrack this drama easy listening, beautiful song perfect drama, thank you so much for all actors to make drama can be realistic and JTBC always gift high quality drama doesn't just entertaining but full great message

Ahjummacraft Dec 09 2021 6:45 am It's a good drama, the songs are catchy and nice, the casts are great. I'm a picky drama watcher and this drama has succeded making me believe Starpeace, Cotton Candy, Mars are real :D and i think 12 episodes enough to avoid draggy story. Definitely recommended to watch.

Vaughn Dec 09 2021 3:48 am Why is this drama so underrated...... It's has such a captivating storyline. Quite relatable.....and quite realistic...

Medsonexo Dec 08 2021 8:16 am One of the Best KDrama about Idol Life!!! I love Hani Exid and EXY WJSN!!! Their Acting was totally "Boom" especially when in Eps.4!!

Spring Dreamer Dec 07 2021 10:00 am One of the things I love about this drama is that they show off each member of cotton candy's problems and solve them well.

Stella's problem next week!! T _ T

Cukacula Dec 07 2021 3:16 am Thank you so much for making this drama.

I am in the middle of big struggle and there are so many things I have to worry about. This drama don't wash away my problems, but by watching this drama I don't feel alone anymore. I feel like I have sisters who care for me and stand with me.

And thanks for making character like Jena. She is the best.

Tej Dec 06 2021 12:11 pm I loved this drama nah... Should I say I am obsessed with this drama......?❤️ I am eagerly waiting for the nxt episodes.

park haejin's yeochin Dec 06 2021 10:07 am the way they potray their characters well from a good Stella (she's so soft, i love her) to a bad Bbiyong (how much i hate him!).. i loved it! best idol drama i've ever watched! i can't stop holding my tears from the first episode :( sad, happy, mad, annoyed all completed!!

dd Dec 05 2021 8:55 am Can hyun ji shut her mouth? All she did was shouting all the time and not acting. I hate her character.

Savisha.j Dec 05 2021 8:38 am Love this drama so much and all the best for your future guys.love from india tamilnadu

Maria mahdavi Dec 04 2021 12:27 am The best and most wonderful series that I saw, I hope they make a lot of these series that are real Good luck to all the agents of the unique director series, wonderful writer and unique actors

Hiba Dec 02 2021 5:25 pm For those asking about the title song it's soyou paradise.

Vyagghī Dec 02 2021 11:08 am Ah! I was occupied with other ongoing dramas and, just thought I should give it a try. Wow! It's additive. I watched all 8 episodes in a row and just Wow! A true Idol follower will complain it is not realistic and not portrays a real world of idols. But, Look! It's Beautiful.The plot, the casts, the music. It's a drama, not a Documentary. They are idols but they act. And they are real- life Cotton Candies. Just give them a round of applause. They deserve it.

Tessa Dec 02 2021 5:08 am Please what's the title of the song that killa sang

minhyunator Dec 01 2021 1:13 pm i rlly liked the interactions between cotton candy and mars. i felt so happy seeing the girls just chilling it’s a pity they’ll be rivals lmaoo

minhyunator Dec 01 2021 1:09 pm romance is a turn off in this drama tho

leejongssi Dec 01 2021 12:42 am Some people want a love line between Jenna and CEO. Have you seen an idol dates her own CEO in your kpop world? lmao

leejongssi Dec 01 2021 12:37 am IDOL The Coup ✅ Imitation❌

Jen Nov 30 2021 12:33 pm @Esther Lee this drama has low ratings as one, its timeslot is on monday and tuesday which is unpopular as compared to friday, saturday and sunday dramas. This drama is also about idols with idols actors and actresses which is what knetz hate as they think idols cant and shouldnt act.

Jenny Nov 29 2021 9:48 pm For people who are watching this drama, I am gonna say you guys are so lucky to have this drama. This is a high quality music drama. The texture of the drama and its music, I can tell they put their heart and soul in it. It has depth of the meaning and spirit that I am moved and inspired by this drama. Best idol drama I have ever seen in recent years. This is more realistic and I can related to myself.

Krystal Nov 29 2021 12:37 pm This is the best idol drama ever.

Esther Lee Nov 29 2021 10:23 am Why does a good movie like this have a very low ratings? It seems people in Seoul does not like the drama at all. Cotton Candy Saranghee, you guys can do it. Fighting!!!! Miss Elle, i really dont like your character. she is just too negative. And Troy should forgive & forget instead of demanding apology up and down.

Kajal Nov 29 2021 7:23 am I just Jenna and CEO together now ....

Susan Nov 27 2021 11:57 am This drama is soo good. Hani really delivered the emotions and their pain was really believable. So much tears ?

Dongdongstoic Nov 27 2021 6:38 am I’m starting to get addicted with this drama.

playnobabble Nov 26 2021 8:42 am This underrated drama is good. You cried and laughed every episodes. Hope it will get better recognition. Screw those viewership rating, it does not mean anything. Good drama is a good drama.

diamondflame Nov 25 2021 5:28 pm i ship jenna with cotton candy.

Esther Nov 25 2021 1:58 pm Why does seeing Doo-Hoo's face make me cry now? This drama is everything, absolutely love it.

CEO Cha Admirer Nov 24 2021 3:24 am I totally like the chemistry between Jenna and CEO Cha! I hope they end up together, but he's a villain:( I also hope that everyone find happiness at the end:)

Fafah Razakamahefa Nov 24 2021 3:04 am I totally ship Jenna with CEO Cha, the chem and tension between them is just woah.

Also Jihan (Minkyu)'s acing sucks, he's so rigid like a robot kkk.

Anyway, hope Cotton candy will make it.

Casual drama viewer Nov 23 2021 11:32 pm Seo Jihan's acting sucks. I get it that this is his first acting project, but to be put with good actors and actresses make his bad acting really noticeable. I'm not fond of CEO Cha's character so I prefer no lovelines in this drama. Let Jenna focus on Cotton Candy

Even Misaeng, drama from the same writer didn't have any lovelines and still being one of the best drama of this generation.

ACL Nov 23 2021 3:36 pm I definitely would hate if CEO Cha turns out ot be the main loveline this is gonna b idiotic, why make poor Seo ji han go through all this bullshit all to be dumped its insane

Kasss Nov 23 2021 12:12 pm I really hate the character of elle she dammm selfishhhhhhh

Kkkkk Nov 23 2021 11:43 am Holly molly, this drama is beyond my expactation!. I cried like a freakjn baby! What a great drama, i cannot stop watch it and ended up had a marathon. I dont mind if theres no romance, the drama it self already entertaining, but jena and mr. Cha already had a great chemistry so dont waste on that writer!

FINATASY CHANI Nov 23 2021 11:25 am This drama is so f good. I'm totally crying cause the ep publish once a week. AND I'M TOTALLY SHIP JENNA WITH CEO CHA. Please make the ending with their love love thingy. Yk what i mean ohok... If there r no romance thing istg this drama will totally doom boring. I give 9/10 for now. Fighting !! Love when CEO cha become allergic with the 'kiss' word (✷‿✷)

JJ Nov 23 2021 10:11 am Totally agree with Britt, this drama is soooo good! The story is very heavy in the first 4 episodes, we can guess the loveline but no one can guess the story, on each episode we will see their new obstacle. Plus I really like Jenna character! She is indeed a leader, she is mature, persistent, smart, and decision maker.

lia Nov 23 2021 9:39 am IS THE CEO AND SEOJI HAN SIBLINGS??? BECAUSE ON EPISODE 5 THE CEO SAID ' I DON'T HATE YOUR MOM, BUT I HATE YOUR MOM BEING MY MOM ' WHATTTT IM LOSTTT

Scorpio Nov 23 2021 4:44 am Nothing to say but SUIIIII

nancy s Nov 23 2021 3:05 am If there is no romance it will become boring. So we need romance part too. But still one of the best drama feel bad for those who did not watch this drama.

Britt Nov 23 2021 12:34 am This is the most underrated KDrama out right now. ITS SO GOOD. ive never looked forward to an episode every week like this show

I am so torn between shipping CEO and Seo

jemi Nov 23 2021 12:04 am This is such a good drama and really realistic. I cried every episode and every actor and actress make it such a great drama and I feel it is happening for real. The story is touching, music is good, and you have real idol act their own stories! Why there are few people watch it? I feel sad for people who didn't watch it. Such a great drama!!

O Nov 22 2021 10:59 pm Hey everybody CEO Cha not CEO Ma

I love this love triangle

Wait for tonight. Peak CEO CHA how to explain the situation hahaha.

Jessie Nov 22 2021 8:54 pm I don't know but I felt like CEO Ma and Jenna will end up together. Their endless bickering makes their chemistry more strong and interesting.

Jairelle Nov 22 2021 7:21 am Episode 5 comes tonight! I can't wait~

Leen Nov 22 2021 2:23 am Plot Twist.....

El & CEO MA end up together Looking suspicious Dum dum duuuuum

Paige Nov 21 2021 11:53 pm I ship Jenna and CEO,the tension between them and their bickering makes it interesting :))

Amel Nov 21 2021 10:02 am What happened with the rating? This drama is soooo good. The acting, the ost, amazing! I kinda surprise seeing that Hani can act that good, and Solbin too.

klj Nov 21 2021 2:47 am Well I hope Jihan is the second lead, ngl he's kinda really freaking nosy lmao, he's seriously always just there and trying to stick his nose in her business like I get he's trying to help but it's getting really annoying. The scene where he was watching them in the practice room when Elle was confronting Jenna about the group disbanding had me laughing at how he was just standing there like boi plz... you need to leave. Gives me very much Lee Suho vibes. I think his character is cliche and boring, I'm sorry, Mingyu is great tho.

Sopheia Margaret Nov 20 2021 12:12 pm what if Ji-han is the second lead?No no no I cant.I threw my phone after i watched the preview for the episode 4.OMG i cant believe it.

Jairelle Nov 20 2021 6:09 am I really can't wait for episode 5 like...don't leave us hanging like that!

Han Nov 20 2021 4:41 am I can't believe the rating is low. This drama deserve 5 stars!!!

potato Nov 19 2021 9:34 pm I am just joking they all will look together. Idk why, bye

potato Nov 19 2021 8:37 pm I just don't ship her to CEO Cha and Ji-Han. Idk why, bye.

Singphiliau Nov 19 2021 8:28 pm I wish their is love traingle between Jenna, Jaehyuk and Ji Han. I love this drama can't wait for more eps.

Bella Nov 19 2021 7:52 pm I ship Jenna with ceo?

Ohh Nov 19 2021 5:21 pm I ship jenna with ceo jaehyuk kbye

Win Nov 18 2021 8:05 am Hope jenna won't end up with the ceo neither jihan..

Jairelle Nov 17 2021 9:53 pm I like this K-drama so much. I cried in all 4 episodes...? The trailer for episode 5 though, this is like a rollercoaster!

ayseinre Nov 17 2021 1:24 pm ep 4 like whatt?!!! hahaha i cry a lot, just lot more than other drama tho, every single of scene is so sad! this drama is sooo good tho why it is so underated, i just know this drama when scrolling any new drama then idol suddenly popup, n i was like, wah its a good drama,plot and twisted tho, can believe she kiss the ceo LOL

Daebak Nov 17 2021 12:24 pm The ratings are so low and not even reach 1%.. Dang I hope they don't ruin the story because of the nationwide ratings..

Kristine Laforga Nov 17 2021 5:44 am OMG!! Don't tell me Minkyu is second lead?! ?

Hey Nov 16 2021 8:52 pm We can see that being an idol is not an easy job, a lot of us seem to be envy about being them but in reality they want to be normal people too. In this drama, I feel sad to their group (cotton candy) as I can feel the emotions and how they portray their roles perfectly. There's a lot of failed idol in korea or even not that famous. I hope you bear it and claim your success in the future!!

io_u Nov 16 2021 2:51 pm wow best drama I've seen in a while!!! very unexpected plot

Namnam Nov 16 2021 2:31 pm Episode 4 goes like Whaaaaaat - can’t wait for the next episodes to follow

KarissA Nov 16 2021 1:38 pm I pray she doesn't end up with Ceo Ma at the end Team Jenan >_<

Heyni Nov 16 2021 12:29 pm I think I cried on every single episode, this is so amazingg!! It's my first time to find an Idol drama like this TT already on ep4 and I'm shock by everything, my heartttt

luasj Nov 16 2021 12:26 pm I cry again, and laugh again. OMG... Best Drama Ever

Kyarllm Nov 16 2021 4:57 am I cried buckets of tear after watching 3 episodes. I never thought that this drama would be that good

Clarence Tan Nov 15 2021 1:17 pm this is amazing

Huh Nov 15 2021 12:20 pm By far the best and most interesting kdrama about idols. I shed a lot of tear on the first two episodes. The role of Doo Ho and the actor made me wept as well. Hani is so good. I just dislike the other members of cotton candy but their acting is convincing. I hate the mangnae, she's so whiny and annoying, a typical bitch who blames everything on others without doing anything to actually help fix the problem. I recommend this!!!

keicus Nov 15 2021 10:35 am I want them to debut without Elle, Amen

Yaya Nov 14 2021 10:08 am I'm sorry . I already tear up seeing hani struggling defending her group .

Mimi Nov 10 2021 7:17 am I cried a lot. no joke. My eyes swollen after watching ep 1 & 2

Dawn_21 Nov 09 2021 8:15 am I cried a lot while watching the 1st episode. Their acting was great because i know they experience it in reality. And I hope they won't lose their hope and keep fighting until their hard work paid off. the actress and actors who were debuted but unfortunately didn't make it through I know someday you can be a star your dreaming of love you guys I hope this drama will hit off because I know there are many people out there who is suffering and feel the same as cotton candy I hope this drama will reach their heart and keep fighting I will share you my motto "try and try until you succeed".

WhiteDay Nov 09 2021 2:06 am Whooaaa actress Exy looks like Ryoo Hyounkyoung, both love rap and suitable for tsundere character.

Yellowstrat Nov 08 2021 8:12 pm The only complaint i have this drama, is that it is so sad and depressing, especially when a girl group really can't work it out anymore and the relationship between the girls are deteriorating.

Otherwise, I think the actresses selected for Cotton Candy are spot on. I think Hani, Solbin, Exy, Han Soeun and Green have done great for the first episode so far. I hope this drama would be one of the best this year.

kahreeeee Nov 08 2021 12:09 pm I love this drama

June Nov 07 2021 2:36 am I got confuse with Hani's name for a second~ this looks good, waiting for this to air

Nuriiiin Nov 01 2021 4:18 am After idolmaster KR, Imitation, and now this... Excited!!

Elaine Oct 12 2021 11:43 pm You had me at Hani :) Isn't this the story of EXID really? I am sure her experience is going to help bring the story forward in some way through her character. I love to see her in things more serious. She is very talented. Laboum, EXID, and WSJN ... this should be interesting!

euryjang Sep 25 2021 1:53 am the story fits exid and laboum. So happy to see solbin in a drama again.

Yellowstrat Sep 18 2021 5:56 pm Exy the actress is back!!

Rhea Sep 15 2021 12:34 am Omygoddhhwjdnajw hani & exy??

Cockroachhater Aug 29 2021 8:44 am Yes cant wait?

Xixi Aug 12 2021 4:27 am Well the plot really is hani's life story EXID was almost disbanded until finally the 'Up and Down' gets hit (it's also bcs of Hani's fancam)
