Whoosh*** Idol I (2025) ***
(Viki 12 1:00 eps)
[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]
A top lawyer & secret fangirl defends her ultimate bias when he is accused of murder.
Phenomenal casting, brilliant acting, spot-on costuming, cinematography that told the story, & a wonderful OST. Writing was poetic at times & so tight that a storyline was finished with 1 line & a camera shot. If you blink, you might miss it. Writer Kim Da Rin is not credited on MDL & this seems to be the only project.
Pacing was perfect, just enough angst, & clues to the mystery dropped to keep interest up. Romance was refreshing & evolved well as the characters developed.
Messages about believing in yourself, justice, & solidarity run through the storylines. It also provides commentary on overzealous fans & the societal backlash against any imperfection of stars in Korea. Excellent!
