Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

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.

Notes

"The Strongest K-POP Survival" takes over the Channel A Mon & Tue 20:50 time slot previously occupied by "Color of Women" and followed by "Goodbye Dear Wife" on May 7, 2012.

Park Min Jan 07 2024 1:26 pm One of the lamest out there...

daisy dela cruz- bautista Mar 21 2023 1:23 am pls i What to whatch this kdrama

Mary Henderson Sep 17 2021 12:01 am I really enjoyed watching the young adults as they pushed to be stars I find myself praying for them all, I truly pray that not one gets treated the way they was, I’m a mother of 4, so I know life is hard already, I watch most of the shows on Netflix, and I just wanted to say I do love watching them they all are really good.

JinK Jun 09 2021 1:34 pm Nine years after airing, clips of this drama kept showing on recommendations on facebook. I found it interesting and got curious. I enjoyed most part of it. It's funny and doesn't overemphasize romance. But just like what others state here, the ending is so disappointing. It doesn't justify the title KPop- The Ultimate Audition. We didn't even get to see Junior's showcase.

Xavier Santos Jan 21 2021 6:06 pm Dis drama didn't end well

Elizabeth Rodriguez Dec 12 2020 1:59 pm I loved it but everything stayed unresolved!!!! Will there be a second season?

Joe Dec 10 2020 9:25 pm It deserves season 2 k-pop survival

Chaeyoon Park Dec 07 2020 12:04 am I just started watching the first episode of this!! And so far I am loving it a lot!! Um...I did audition for Belift and I passed the first rounds! Yea...it's surprising to me tho lol. But anyways, have a nice day to all of youuu!!

Bellatrix! Dec 28 2018 12:05 pm I’ve seen this drama a bunch of times. It was one the first dramas I ever watched. And it does have more then 14 episodes. We do get to see the third showcase. There is an entire storyline about ji son yeon’s parents find out she has been in Korea with her uncle and staying with family she had possibly ji woo’s. Anyways she in being locked in her room at the house without her phone. So that once the showcase is over they can force her home. But someone breaks her out and she makes it just in time to sing. In an absolute all white outfit. There is just sooooo much more. And I’m angry that they shortened it. They shortened it on viki too. But I know that it’s there

May Jun 09 2018 12:47 pm I watched this drama because of Song Minho (Kibum). But I ended up liking it bacause of the other character. But then I got disappointed because of the ending. I was looking forward for the final showcase and if the juniors will all debut or just 4 of them. Even if it was not doing well their should be an ending to this drama.

I wished this will have a sequel.

Pyrrha Jun 02 2018 5:55 pm This was seriously an amazing show. I wish it came to a conclusion or at least to the third showcase but it was really amazing. I was suprised to find out it didn't do well enough to continue. I hope someday it gets revamped or reimagined.

Mon Mar 12 2018 9:23 am I watched it for the sake of Song Minho, but ended up liking the drama. But come onnnnnn. The ending cant really be the ending. Sooooo many things were left unexplained. For the love of god, my burning curiousity of what happened to all the characters in the end will forever be unknown. *SOB*

kpop sara Jan 02 2018 4:48 pm this is really good... me likey

kpop sara Jan 02 2018 4:43 pm Daebak... I'm

speechless!!!!

K-Pop TUAF Dec 24 2017 6:44 am Now COME ON!!! We Need a second season for this! I loved everthing about k-Pop the ultimate Audition except for this shit ending. I mean: What happens to M2 and M2Junior? What happens to Woo Hyung, is he really going to the USA? What about Seung-Yeon then? Does she find someone else? What happens to their love? There must be something like a second Season, or a movie or at least a mini series?!?! It can't end like this. -_-

Karla Oct 14 2017 2:57 am Does anybody know the name of the song Jae ah was singing during the showcase?

Jessica Oct 07 2017 7:55 pm I insist that more has to be made. A movies, a mini series, something! We can't just be left hanging here! Come on!!!! ?

Jessica Oct 07 2017 7:38 pm This can not be left like this! K-Pop needs and ending put into like a 2 hour movie or something!!!!!

Wen Aug 28 2017 2:55 pm Please say there is another one coming. At least have the writer come and give the real ending. Did the second season not make the cut? I am assuming that there was another season in the plans before they filmed the ending to this one.

Sasha Aug 23 2017 3:08 am Seriously, I couldn't be more pissed at the ending. I need to know what happens to everyone and it's making me soooo mad?????

Also, the kisses looked so dead lolol, but I can understand it can be stressful.

AAAH really I can't get over that freaking ending!!!! >:(

Emmaline Aug 08 2017 4:41 am I agree with Lucider Matt Lawliet I would have would have liked more.

Lucifer Matt Lawliet Jul 31 2017 5:04 am We need a second season! What happened after the last episode?

Kayarich Jul 30 2017 12:38 am Of all the Korean love drama I watched, this one's ending sucks big time. Was there even an ending? What happened to M2 finally? What happened to Woo-Hyun? What happened to the girl acting as boy? What happened to M2 Jr? Did 4 get selected to join m2? Or did the whole group stay as a new group? What happened to Sunny entertainment? What about the boss and his assistant? Did she leave for real? Or stayed?

This last episodes felt like it isn't the ending at all.

NobodyUNeed2Know Jul 15 2017 11:01 am The ending sucked. U dont just leave a cliffhanger like that. Ur supposed to make a 2nd Season!!!! I did not stay up all night watching this whole thing for thay ending. Im Protesting A Second Season!!!!

bill Jul 09 2017 7:08 pm wtf with that ending !!!!

Tara Jun 24 2017 2:21 pm It was a really cute drama but the ending sucked...

eagleson Jun 09 2017 6:39 pm It is really nice. I love it and it reminds me of you are beautiful. They are similar........ but i did not like the ending cos it seemed like they were rushing. It was so vague..... Did they want to imagine what happened next all by ourselves.. ..anyway it was nice.

Tammy May 16 2017 8:25 am the ending LOL. wtf. make another season.!!!

beebee Apr 20 2017 10:15 pm such a lovely series but that ending really broke my heart ? how can it finish with so many unclear things going on smh it needed at least two more episodes to finish up

Kay Mar 26 2017 2:45 pm I loved the show but is there going to be a season 2? There needs to be a season two

Australian Fan Mar 19 2017 5:04 am Please please please make a season 2 I loved this and I'm Australian but I'll admit I'm in love with Kpop and Kdrama ?❤️

black thunder Mar 03 2017 5:26 pm i really love this drama great job guys i love it, hope for second part . fighting

black thunder Mar 03 2017 5:22 pm i really love this drama great job guys i love. fighting????

Alejandra Anderton Feb 15 2017 11:07 am I loved the whole thing up until the ending. The ending wasn't what I was hoping for because I'm not sat wondering if Ms Han left and what happened to the rest of them. I really hope there's a season two to wrap up all the loose ends that it left.

elleansa Jan 26 2017 9:30 am i think the ending was really really rushed.. They even messed up the night and day timeline.. It didn't make sense. Too bad. The build up was great but there was no drop. Left it midst air. Disappointed ???

Jacqui Jan 01 2017 1:49 am Omo I just loved this drama so much, Is there a 2nd season

Abigail Dec 31 2016 1:35 am I need a season two please tell me there's a season 2 coming out

Laura Dec 27 2016 2:38 pm So dissapointed for the ending. This is such a great show, everything was just great, and interesting, but the ending ruined everything. Honestly, you need to make a second season or at least one or two more episodes to wrap up the story completely. We have many doubts on things that weren't fully clear on how did it end. Please NEVER leave a show incomplete, it's really annoying for people who really liked the show.

Layne Dec 20 2016 10:00 pm Hi!! Love your show! Can you please make more episodes or add season 2?!? Please and Thanks!! You guys are amazing actors by the way!

Shaka surayat Oct 31 2016 10:17 am The film was ok but i think they should work on the end that is more episold should be added to it

Rayan Sep 21 2016 1:29 am There are so many things that is missing in the ending .. Is it bad production or the script was already incomplete? ???!!!!!!!

Deb Bowlin Sep 19 2016 10:27 pm I enjoyed the drama very much but the ending has bothered me very much. Is it possible to post the original scripts for the very last three to four episodes so we can find out what was supposed to happen and give it a better ending.

Belu Aug 19 2016 5:09 am I really liked this dorama, and i was starting to enjoy Seung Yeon & Woo Hyon's relationship, specially the fact that Ji Woo didn't become a pest after confessing... Too bad it got cancelled, they should've at least done a final ep where everyting went back to place. So irresponsible! Btw, did anyone else notice that all the girls in the show where super b*tchy? The crazy revengeful highschool ex girlfriend, the crazy manipulative manager (who never apologized, btw. Just bec the president liked her they forgot about everything she did wrong -_-), The crazy imposing mother, The crazy scandal-ex traumatized girl... Even the heroine, i mean, crazy man in a woman's body xD. Seriously, she grew up in a nice house with classic music lover parents, (probably being obedient and all that) yet somehow instead of being your usual "princess", she's anything but that. It was so funny to watch tho.

jovy Aug 19 2016 12:22 am Season 2 is a must!!!!!!

I don't think that this will end just like that..i have a high expectation for this drama...the flow of the story was great as well as the characters.. But in the last episides..hell no..just like that??  Please more episodes to wrap things up.. Don't leave us hanging.

Ivory Liscene Demret Aug 11 2016 7:38 pm Please make season 2 of this drama, it's so amazing and i love this drama this is like the best drama I've ever watched. i would like u guys to act on other dramas too

Dangyeol Jul 15 2016 6:25 pm Why dooes all my favorite show have shitty last episode? This is seriosly annoying. Whats up with these directors? Just need 1 or 2 ep to wrap things up, why end things like this? Bullshit.

Ana Feb 24 2016 7:27 pm Please please please make more episodes! This is my favorite drama that I have ever watched! I am really upset that it ended without having the final showcase even or if Woo Hyun went to America or not (with or without Ji-Seung Yeon?). People are still watching this show, I just finished it today! I gave this show all five stars on Netflix. So sad that it will be taken off of Netflix tomorrow! I will not have time to rewatch it. :( Please just make more episodes! Thanks for reading this! :)

Samara Feb 20 2016 7:37 pm Why does Netflix take all the good shows off? :( They were going to take off another show I watch (RWBY) but for some it's still on Netflix. Hopefully the same thing will happen :P.

Ashleigh Feb 17 2016 3:41 pm There really needs to be a season 2 and it needs to be put on drama fever since it is being taken off Netflix.

yoona fan Jan 17 2016 12:45 am i like this movie and i like song movie

kamila gwizdala Jan 14 2016 8:07 pm hi i really enjoyed KPOP STREAM SURVIVAL ( i wish there was a part 2 to it ) i actually so in love with it that i couldn't stop my self from buying the drama as well as the soundtrack . i hope you can do a drama like this again. thank you so much and good luck with your upcoming projects ^.^ PS: THE CAST OF THIS DRAMA WAS AMAZING !!!! all the characters are well played and the story is just to good . i watched this drama like more than 7 times already and i just can't get over it. is just to good . if you guys haven't watched it yet and you are planning on watching it , PLEASE DO SO. I swear you are not going to regret it .

Derek Smith Jan 12 2016 7:34 pm Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz bring back k-pop series!!! I loved the 1st season...AWESOMELY!!!

Gabby Jan 09 2016 1:41 am I really love this drama! I just finished watching the last episode on Netflix but I don't understand why there are so few episodes. There are generally at least 16 sometimes even 20 episodes to a series and there are only 14 for this one. This show would have been perfect if all of the loose ends were tied up. With the last episode, there are so many unanswered questions. We don't really know what happens to everyone, which is highly upsetting. They could have at least made 2 more episodes to answer everyone's questions and properly end the show; it's only 2 more episodes! If they were going to create this show, they should have made sure to go all the way with it! It's one of my favorites but I'm extremely upset that I don't know how everything turns out. It just feels like an unfinished show, because it kind of is. :/

Aleigh Jan 05 2016 11:03 am This drama is awesome. Love it to death. All episodes are on Netflix in case other fans don't know :D

Olesya Dec 13 2015 8:37 am please tell me the music from the beginning of the episode 7

Taylor dawn Dec 08 2015 6:56 pm I want more episodes :(

Kpoplova4lyfe Nov 22 2015 4:57 am Park Yoo-Hwan* Made a typo in my previous comment. xD

Kpoplova4lyfe Nov 22 2015 4:52 am Honestly..... I still love this Korean drama. My favorite definitely has to be Woo-Hyun (Park Yoo-Hwan), Park Ki-Beom (Song Min-Ho), and Ji-Seung Yeon (Ko Eun-Ah). Fabulous actors. I love all of em' even team manager Han, and In Young. But my number one favorite is Woo-Hyun, because his acting attitude reminds me of how I am. Fantastic job on this, I've loved this show for awhile, I love your guys' work! ^-^ Great job! I love you Park Yoo-Whan! :v

kayla Nov 19 2015 9:58 am please don't cancel this show I couldnt stand if I didn't find out what would happen to them all I'm addicted to this show to where I will do anything even create a poll so if someone knows how to contact the director I would gladly sned him an email and create a poll.

dylan senpi Nov 01 2015 2:10 am ive watched to season over and over again, its such a bummer they cut it off. what about the rival showcase? whats going to happen between Woo Hyun and Ji Seung-Yeon? Its the basic drama that kills the fans....:(

Lacey opah Oct 21 2015 9:54 pm NO there is not a next season

Gladys Oct 14 2015 12:47 am The movie was very interesting.I love it!

Giselle Oct 04 2015 4:43 pm PLEASE make another season. I now just want to watch this over and over

Rachel Oct 04 2015 4:12 pm Yes Please!! If not another season then a movie would be great!! I want to know what happens with Woo Hyun and Seung Yeon I even got my mom to love this show and she doesn't even listen to Kpop. I love all the music and the story was so thrilling!!

Skye Sep 25 2015 8:28 pm This is like my favorite drama of all time. I wish the ratings would have been higher or if they at least made the last two episodes. They leave you with so many questions unanswered and it makes me really sad. I really don't like trying to guess how the ending was. They should definitely make another season or like a movie or something just to answer all the questions for us fan who do love watching it.

Emily lee Aug 06 2015 11:42 am It was published in 2012. They r not going to make another season because of low rating. Intally, there was going to be 16 episodes but it was cut off to 14epsiodes besuse of the ratings.

kamila gwizdala Jul 03 2015 11:50 am Omg i ca't express how much laughter and thrill I have had with this drama specially the end is so touchy and leaves you with a "?" of what will happen next after everyone discovers that she is a girl. But yes this drama definitely deserves a 10 out of 10 and probably a second season if there is a good story line into it. also The soundtrack is amazing I bought the songs But still I can seem to find the son that Kwon Ji-Woo and Ji Seung-Yeon do together as a performance on the stage with her on the piano and him singing so powerfully.

Kathy Jun 27 2015 4:04 pm Make another season, i just started liking woo hyun

Mari foster Jun 18 2015 4:53 pm Please make another season I will be very grateful if you did I beg it's so go I feel like my life will be over I live for this show

Shaelyn Jun 16 2015 12:33 pm PLEASE PLEASE make another season!!!! I cannot believe it ended that way!!! Don't leave us hanging!! Please make another season!! <3 . <3 And keep the same actors. Changing them wont make the show the same.

nina Jun 14 2015 11:18 am love this show was really upset about the ending please make a second season keep the same actors to love woo hyung he so cute

nina Jun 14 2015 11:07 am this show was really good I was really upset that is just ended I would really love to see a second season pleas make a second season love this show also keep the same actors pleas I love woo hyung he is so cute

kk Jun 14 2015 11:02 am this show is so good I'm a huge fan of k-pop and this movie was really good i think woo hyung was so cute I was mad about the ending please make a second season please I really love this show great actors and music please make a second season.

Jay Lane Jun 02 2015 9:47 pm Great show right, but then it just ENDS! So many questions were left unanswered. This show was a trap.

Setsuna Jun 01 2015 4:29 pm I've watched 2 episodes of this show so far and even though I do enjoy it I can't stand Kwon Ji-Woo. He's so emo and pathetic. I can't imagine how he's gonna make it as k-pop artist with his stage fright.

Linda Walker May 30 2015 9:46 am I loved this series because of the KPop involvement and was hooked from the very first moment I started viewing it. It had a lot going on full circle with all of the cast members. I also LOVED seeing actual Kpoppers (UKISS, MBLAQ) in certain episodes. I thought the Juniors all had very good singing voices. So exceptional acting and the ending could have been a little bit better by divulging the romance between the Director and Ms Han. They should start another series of episodes to go further into the romances etc. :)

Syd May 21 2015 11:52 am AH~ I cringed the first five episodes or so, it was painfully cheesy, but like most K-dramas, I became addicted and had my emotions abused. I just which that the show focused less of the romance between Seung Yeon and Woo Hyun, and focused more on the trainees! I fell in love with Jae Ah the moment he began to sing. The cameos of MBLAQ and UKISS were awesome too!

Araceli Nava May 07 2015 7:04 am Just finished watching it. I really enjoyed watching it. but why didnt they did some more episodes like what happens later on. Did she achieved her dream? did he started liking another women? like i wanted to know more. It seemed like the last episode was a real quick of an ending.

Michael May 06 2015 3:45 pm Hey all, just wanted to know if there's any questionable content in this show. I've only seen first 30 minutes of the first episode, and my class really likes it. Is this show school appropriate? Thanks!

tupipi May 05 2015 5:13 pm omfg i love this show great for anything who would enjoy drama as well love and romance. and music is great too really love this show. can now wait for more! <3 i hope they do make more!!

S'more-ui ssisil May 04 2015 9:38 am God, I loved this drama, I got so attached to the characters and when it ended I felt a little empty. Not really in a bad way, just sad that it was over.

And in addition to that, it was made in 2012 so that means they won't continue it. :'(

Sheree Apr 29 2015 11:56 am What an addicting show! Please have a movie or season 2 to give me some sort of resolution and yes with the same characters as I fell in love with each of them! Bring it back!!

Gina Apr 23 2015 1:08 pm This is the best tv musical K-drama that I ever watched. It's definitely a 5-star!!! All episodes are exciting, very entertaining and fun to watch. Although the last episode was very disappointing, and I did not like it, I would still watch it. It left you with an expectation that there would be Season 2. It is unfortunate that this was supposed to be a 16-episode TV drama series and was cut down to 14 episodes. No wonder, everything was cramped in to that last episode. Thanks to Netflix and YouTube, I get to watch all the 14 episodes over and over. It would be awesome if they make Season 2!!! I hope there's a sign up sheet requesting for Season 2. Yes Season 2 please with the same actors, everyone of them is talented.

Keailani Apr 09 2015 3:11 am I really like the episodes but I did not like the ending. I felt it was rushed and the ending was poor. I would like to see a season 2 pretty please as to what happen with all their career and where they all ended up? Pleeeeeeease!!!!!!!

Takashi Apr 03 2015 8:35 pm He great I like his singing and rapping in Strongest Kpop survival there should be another season of it I love that movie I'm a fan of all the people in that m2 junior :) I luv your guys <333333

Starleene Mar 29 2015 6:58 pm PLEASE BE A NEXT EPISODE! You can't do this to me! Puuhh-lease!

Esbeidy Mar 26 2015 4:22 pm They should really add another season please add another season it cant end like that please add season two

marina Mar 23 2015 11:48 pm I really hope they add another season. they ended it where it's just hanging and I want to grasp more. Please please add another season,

Annette Mar 21 2015 8:56 am YOU CANT JUST END IT LIKE THAT, i need some type of reassurance that she actually waited and they were together bc OTP

Karina Mar 17 2015 4:41 pm There needs to be a season 2. That was a horible ending if there is not going to be a season 2.

Asuna Mar 17 2015 9:04 am Love all the characters. Park Yoo-Hwan <3

I need a season 2. That wasn't even an ending.

Jenny Mar 15 2015 7:11 pm Is there going to be a season 2 of this? -please say yes- It doesn't seem finished (or maybe it isn't). I mean, is the M2 juniors going to be the new M2? Will Team Leader Han really leave or Jang Hyun-Seok or someone going to stop her? Or maybe she will stop herself... Or is Ji Seung-Yeon going to be kicked out of M2 junior because she is a girl? There is just so many questions. Please say there is going to be a season 2! D:

glo glo Mar 14 2015 12:33 pm Omg! Nooooo... That is no ending in any shape or form... I feel like they just stopped the drama unfinished. . bu

Emily Mar 12 2015 10:09 pm I loved the drama, but it left us hanging way too bad! What happens to the team manager? Does the president confess his love? Does the company shut down? Does M2 Junior debut? What happened with the seung yeon scandal, do they let her perform? And why is Woo Hyun going to America all of a sudden! I cannot be left with all these questions unanswered! It's been three years since this came out, so I doubt you will make a season two, but PLEASE MAKE A SEASON 2 OR ANSWER OR QUESTIONS!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

cheyanna Mar 09 2015 11:20 pm I loved it! Please make a season 2. Just left is hanging I want to know what happens

Angelica Mar 06 2015 1:23 am I love watching k-pop the ultimate audition plzzzz plzzzz plzzzz make a season 2 !!!!!! I want to find out wut happens between woo Hyun and seung-yeon and wut happens to the juniors!!!!

katie Mar 05 2015 3:33 pm We need season 2!! I love kwon ji-woo

Jezzu Mar 01 2015 12:13 am Please second season!!!!!! Por favor!!!!!!

Mary & Dustin Feb 24 2015 1:30 am Please make season 2!!! You can't just leave it at that! I need to know what happens next. This show is too good to just forget about. Please make another season? My brother and I just loved watching it, we watched all of season one in two days, we new to know what happens next. We don't want to keep it as a cliff hanger! Please make more??? The ranting will be so much better the 2nd season!!!

Cassey and Amy Philyaw Feb 19 2015 7:30 pm WE NEED A SECOND SEASON!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T JUST END IT LIKE THAT!!!!! We need to know what happens next. What happens with the juniors and what happens between Woo Hyun and Seung-Yuen. WE NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( Please make more

trisha Feb 18 2015 12:40 am THIS DRAMA IS SO GOOD!! Anyways i would really want a 2nd season, because i would want to see more of Woo Hyun and Seung-Yeun together, and what happens after the whole "i've-gotta-go-to-'murica-thing" and it would be so good!! i would want to know what happens to the Juniors and all that!! It's so sad that it wasn't a good ending!! I'm pretty sure everyone here would agree on the 2nd season with me!! right? ...Fighting!!!!!!

Nelle Feb 13 2015 10:19 am This drama was really good up until the last episode. I understand that it got cut by 2 episodes due to low ratings while it aired, but the editing/script revisions could have been a bit clearer about what happened.

It starts off very similar to You Are Beautiful (except the girl was the instigator), moved into Coffee Prince territory (male lead decides he likes a "guy" and they have cute playful dates) and then it ends abruptly with loose ends left untied and very poor explanations about what happened and a confusing timeline. A better rewrite would have lead to a much more satisfying ending.

It's really too bad that there was so much competition in 2012 and too many similar shows, I think after Dream High 2 and Shut Up Flower Boy Band airing in January of 2012 and this one coming out in March, viewers were just over the concept which lead to poor ratings, which is too bad, because if you like musical dramas, this one is worth watching.

mariama Jan 14 2015 12:40 pm I love the TV show so much. love all the cast too. Woo Hyun and Ji Seung-Yeon are my favor... all the way in the U.S. A

Christina Jan 04 2015 11:48 pm I love this drama!!!!! My favourite character is Woo Hyun!!!! I love the songs they sing!!

Debbyvicks Dec 26 2014 2:30 pm I just recently watched this drama,its really great and inspiring,apart from the lead actor and actress especially liked song min ho and kwak yong hwan characters,they were really amazing

sohanze Dec 08 2014 2:45 pm nice drama......lovin d lead actress nd actor!!! ko eu ah ....fightin

jenni Aug 10 2014 6:08 pm i watched this drama a couple years ago and i decided to watch it again c: i absolutely love this drama, but every time i watch the ending i'm just like ;-; "WHY.why would the writers,producers and directors do this to me?" T-T like just a few more episodes and i would've been satisfied, but hey, it is what it is... it did give me inspiration to follow my dreams no matter what the cost so yeah... :''D .. ... oh, yeah. FIGHTING!!!

qeyzn Jul 21 2014 10:14 am wow.. Park yoo hwan really resembles yoochun oppa. and his acting is so good in here, makes me wonder why he didn't get much lead roles or more dramas. i mean Yoochun oppa's acting in Miss Ripley is not that good, but still lovable..but, why is his brother not getting the same attention considering how good his acting is? and, did Yoohwan sing for real in this drama? I dunno he sings. Anyway, hope to see more of him in the small screen. Fighting!!!!!!

Lola Jun 16 2014 1:42 am I totally love this drama but the ending is a little disappointing- oh well I will get over it. :3

jessie Jun 05 2014 12:41 am Honestly, it's so frustrating to find out it ended so abruptly. Also I wish M2 junior was a real Kpop group. I mean, I would have gone crazy for them. So hot. If you can please make them a group. And Channel A so disappointed to find out you cut off episodes. PLEASE make a K-POP - The Ultimate Audition 2. I will watch it and so will those who have commented below. P.S PLEASE!

jess Apr 25 2014 1:45 pm i liked it but the drama got cut short by 2 eps and rushed the ending i wanted to see the last showcase in the eps

jess Apr 25 2014 1:44 pm i liked it but the drama got cut short by 2 eps and rushed the ending i wanted to see the last showcase

phunmy Apr 25 2014 7:25 am it film is really interesting but the ending sucks!

Heather Apr 16 2014 1:47 am Is it just me or has no one noticed U-KISS is in it too! >.< Well 4 members! Great program just to bad the ending sucked! -_-

Chantelle Feb 24 2014 1:08 pm LOVE LOVE LOVEEE THIS SHOW! Everything about it is amazing except the ending!! I mean if they just gave us one more episode, just one more to resolve everything and put our minds at ease would be enough! But alas it has been 2 years and it is unlikely we will ever find out and to me is really saddening...this show deserved much more credit, it was very well written and fun and suspenseful, ugh! Don't think I will ever get it off my mind without an ending but very happy I watched it 4/5 love,love,loved it!

kang shin shin Feb 15 2014 12:51 am love this Korean drama but I don't like the end.. hope there is part two..

PsychoticHatter Jan 28 2014 4:05 pm I love this so much that I had to buy it! This is one of the best dramas I have ever watched!

pf Jan 18 2014 1:25 am Is this similar to dream high??

kaitie24 Dec 11 2013 6:19 am I got so crazy excited when I saw MBLAQ at the start. I have just seen them live and they were AMAZING!!!

Kate A Oct 29 2013 8:54 am It was a nice drama but it felt like it was abruptly cut short. Maybe it didn't do well with the viewer rating. There was no major climax. the conflicts were mainly dialogue based. The disappointing part is not really showing if M2 junior made it or not. There are a lot of loose ends with no definite resolution. Conflicts that had been pushed aside because of the love story. the other 2nd lead guy character was too boring to compete with the lead. It's sad because the story line could have had so much potential. The thing is though the gender bender character is obviously too girly not to mention her singing voice is girly too...and she obviously have noticeable boobs. In other gender bender roles both in kdrama and Jdrama they at least looked padded enough to look like they have a flat chest.but surprisingly the boy group members are too daft to not realize that they have been hanging out with a girl all along... LOL it's cute but the end will frustrate you... in the end it was just a love story not really an ultimate Kpop audition.

Jessa Lee Sep 06 2013 10:13 pm I really love this drama!!! Hoping for Kpop The Ultimate Audition 2... ^___^ I can see how my idols struggle for their dreams to come true... Ji Seung-Yeon!!! SARANGHAE!! labyaaa..

joyce Sep 02 2013 3:31 am I watched this TV Drama and loved it alot. Especially all the songs and dances. Where I can find the OST of all songs?

danielle Aug 14 2013 4:31 am The series is one epic thing to watch, I loved it.. :) At some point, it reminds me of Coffee Prince and You Beautiful. O: Anyways, I would love to see a Season 2! The ending was quite sad, I want to know what happens at the end. ^^

Now. Aug 14 2013 4:12 am i just wanna watch it online but I cant seem to find where.

Hedgehog Jul 20 2013 7:50 pm I wonder, what the name of the teacher that teach junior dance? he look cute and hot lol i really LOVE this movie the music is awesome and all junior and m2 are cute

sienna Jul 18 2013 6:36 pm I LOVE KOREAN MOVIE SPECIALLY ONE WITH KPOP OR SING, DANCE <3 <3 <3 <3

AreissaJames Jul 15 2013 3:54 pm The beginning of kpop what is the name of the song of the boy band ?

sandy Jul 07 2013 2:41 pm I just finished watching the drama today and I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!! I am going to start crying if I find out that that was the ending and there will be no season 2 cause that left me hanging not knowing if they all become a group, if only 3 or 4 stay, or does president and team leader get together???? I NEED TO KNOW!!! BUT I STILLED LOVED IT AND FOUND IT VERY FUNNY! :D

panda032 Jun 22 2013 5:04 pm This drama kind of remind me of You Beautiful. There a mini-drama where the guy dress up as a girl and it called Ma Boy it so cute. But drama should have a second season, the ending is okay but it kind of hanging.

karl ian tagupa Jun 03 2013 6:48 am i love this drama but the ending is quite hanging.. i want more!

Ariel May 18 2013 6:59 am 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! :)

LauraH Apr 17 2013 3:43 pm

liked. And then there the love triangle with the grown ups. Whered they all disappear all the sudden?

LauraH Apr 17 2013 3:41 pm 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.

Jennifer Apr 01 2013 1:54 am 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?

mihmih Mar 12 2013 8:15 am Oh My g........^_^ i love this show and the M2 Juniors members are really cute.......and seung-yeon and woo hyun are perfect for each other.....^_^

seung_yeon Jan 01 2013 12:02 am omg i LOVED this drama!! it was SUPER but i and really confused why it was rated low! haven't watched the end yet but can tell from the comments that the producers cut the show cuz of low rating! why why!??!?!?! why did thsi drama even get low rates? i mean it was AWESOME in one word!! ><

sabrina Dec 12 2012 9:49 am what song did jin hyuk sing at the showcase???

Nikki Galano Nov 18 2012 8:37 pm K-pop: The Ultimate Audition was really fun to watch. The characters are really interesting.All faces are fresh. Go eun ah and Park Yoo hwan are really lovable. They are amazing! Looking forward to watch again any of their dramas. I love you woo hyun sunbae!

kpopluv Nov 10 2012 6:09 am the poster remind me of You're Beautiful which use the same concept..girl become a boy to get into idol group..well,not bad

BW Nov 06 2012 2:36 am Awesome Drama!!!!!!!And please let there be a special episode 4 tis drama........please........

nelz Oct 21 2012 11:48 pm 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.....

M girl Sep 04 2012 5:55 am i really didnt get what happened in last ep. even they get low vote they still should do missing part for us that watching this drama wholeheartedly. should do special ep or season 2. loved this drama.

mystar82 Aug 29 2012 1:06 pm I don't have anything to say for final episode of this drama..but i loved it until thirteenth episode.. the subject of this drama was so good i wish they will coming with season2 ^~^

Fayfi Aug 28 2012 5:18 pm 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!!

Serenitybunny Aug 19 2012 11:00 pm Sorry, my auto-correcting words on my tablet: personal = potential* can = cannot*

Serenitybunny Aug 19 2012 10:57 pm 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...

KimLuvv Aug 12 2012 12:29 am 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..

black_blood Aug 10 2012 8:02 pm 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.

sdas Aug 08 2012 6:02 pm vreau un al doilea sezon ador serialul

Yue Jul 18 2012 10:33 am 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...

rainfairy Jul 15 2012 8:59 am i usually like the dramas related to kpop so i really enjoying it and at the first ep i was so happy to see mblaq coooooooool.but i just started it i hope it goes well

jacqkhal Jul 14 2012 10:26 pm 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. ^^''

human Jul 08 2012 6:04 pm 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....

Fadzkia Jul 08 2012 2:24 am it's awesome... I like this drama so much...

but I feel so disappointed about this, because the end of this story didn't make me pleased...

ilayda Jul 05 2012 2:50 pm 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.

MyRa Jun 26 2012 9:27 am waa..so pissed!! why they cut the 2 last episode?? seriously..its really a cute n romantic story n so many kissess between woo hyun n seung yeon.. XD n i like how sweet woo hyun to seung yeon..even she pushed him aside the guy still crazily in love with her..ahh..i guess i really love this story..so sweet!! :D

Gian Jun 21 2012 10:31 pm Just one thing ._. Why they cutted it T.T ?!! I kinda didn't understand the end ><

nite Jun 15 2012 6:48 pm It's sooo cute.. Woo hyun is so adorable! :D

Gette Jun 10 2012 7:51 am Best Dramaaa Eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!

iheartkdramas May 24 2012 4:02 pm I HONESTLY HOPE THEY GET PAIRED UP IN ANOTHER DRAMA IN THE FUTURE! LOVE THEM SO MUCH. THEY'RE SO CUTE EVEN OFF SCREENツ

yuma May 20 2012 9:18 am i like the strongest K-POP survival.. romantic story.. ^^

chingo May 19 2012 8:39 pm 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.

Uriel May 15 2012 12:30 pm 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!!!!!

Irene G May 09 2012 12:58 pm I enjoyed this drama so much! So funny and cute and such great acting! I'm really sad they didn't let us see a proper ending.

mickysmile4me May 09 2012 1:57 am The drama is interesting and cute..why did they cut it down? because of the low rating? how about love rain?..the rating is bad too but why didn't the other station cut it down? Chanel Aaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!

cleo May 08 2012 3:29 pm really like there was only 2 more episodes they couldn't just do 2 more woww. but i still love this drama so much and i love that episode 14 at the end had like the bloppers

jisha May 08 2012 1:56 am it started properly, but unfortunately, ending looks like broken forever....

jisha May 08 2012 1:52 am Someone go get them make a special for this drama, please. How can a drama end up like that, look down on us, who love the drama so serious. Chanel A .... so much disappointed

msmariecookies May 07 2012 9:54 am this drama is really awesome but the ending is really suck...hurm..i really don't understand why the have to cut the 2 more episode..hurm..i start watching this drama since first week..i keep wondering what will happen next..when will eunah will be together with yoohwan..yeah..they have declare being a couple but what happen next..the series is not completed..hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

angi969 May 07 2012 6:02 am 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 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 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.

mblaqgo May 03 2012 7:57 pm 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.

Juno May 02 2012 10:21 pm 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 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.

Kim May 02 2012 1:49 am Awesome drama, truly enjoyed it :D

a.n.jell Apr 28 2012 12:52 am so it's like the revenge of the idol siblings...with eun ha being the sister of mir and yoo-hwan being the bro of yoochun....

i just learned that she's mir's sister...even before i was wondering how can she look so much like mir...so that's why...

sakura Apr 21 2012 3:49 am actually at first i don't like the girl in the 1st episode but i got curios about this drama since MBLAQ is in here... and after watching 4th episode and currently watching the 5th, i kinda love her nah...

^__^

abgi969 Apr 19 2012 8:12 am why doesn't it have a table?

luuv Apr 16 2012 3:41 pm I like it :)

Julia Apr 09 2012 4:58 pm It's AMAZING! I've watched like a couple of minutes of episode 1 and she (ko Eun-ha) looks just like her little brother (Mir from MBLAQ) :O Got such a shock!

Riisa Mar 29 2012 6:28 pm Sounds like "You're Beautiful" except that this is more about hip hop. Gonna give it a try since I loved You're Beauitful. ;D

Ann Mar 28 2012 8:42 pm I love how kdramas this year is mostly all about romance, comedy, and music! xD This drama is good so far!

lokdrm Mar 23 2012 1:20 am watched 1st n 2nd ep n this drama looks good ... yoohwan is really good in here.. :)

Tsubasa Potter Mar 21 2012 11:38 pm So, there are three dramas about music and k-pop in Korea, Dream High 2, Shut Up Flower Boy Band and K-Pop Ultimate Audition, eh? Wow, so good

kplo Mar 09 2012 1:34 am 1st ...to comment :D .... so many interesting drama coming this year.. incl. this one ... musical n Park Yoohwan ... not going to miss this one .. :3
