Ah the end of Imitation. As frustrating as it was, I overall enjoyed the experience. Who were your favorite characters? Which were your favorite plot lines and which plot lines were the most disappointing?

I just updated my subscription to watch this only for all of the episode to not work… I’m so sad…

PD you should watch the squid game on Netflix! It would be AMAZING see your reaction through all the episodes!

Imitation really frustrated me plot-wise in general, but I finished watching it because of Ateez and how much I enjoyed most characters besides ma-ha and ryeok. And while the show in general made me kind of mad a lot of times, nothing compare to that ending like that's just a cliff-hanger to a disbandment next season or something. I really wish idol couples could just do that tbh, but we know that's not the case and I really wish they would've gone with a more "realistic" ending

You should watch squid game, but it's on netflix so you're subs might be wonky again. There's 9 episodes

Not a single character was fleshed out. Despite that, it still is good for what it is. I'm pretty sure the plot is nice on paper, but the Production Team must have not known that the execution wouldn't add up. That's the feel I'm getting from it. This didn't feel like a drama at all but a special segment for idols. I just realized I considered this as "Oooh new Ateez content!" rather than a "Hey a new episode from a drama!" Anyways OF COURSE my favourite character is La Ri Ma. Imagine if they fleshed out the plot of how hard and lonely being a soloist is on a group-oriented KPOP industry???

I second the 2 people recommending Squid Game for a reaction

Maria

they are wonky... i'm not fluent at all but the little bits that I made out were definitely not translated correctly, it's so annoying. they put so much money into these dramas but can't find someone to translate properly.

As for the photo being edited PD. Annie and the CEO didn't interact outside. I think you weren't paying attention to the scene. That's why Annie was worried when she saw the photo cause it looked very sus from her side.

Man this show had some potential and some interesting parts but man was it all over the place. The flashbacks confused me every time as it was not always clear where or better when exactly we are. Storylines appeared and disappeared so I completely forgot about them. I don't know if it's only because they set themselves up with way too many side-stories or if these stories were just not well written so they did not really have any impact. Lias lovestory was definitely the most interesting out of the ones that happened and I mostly looked forward to Jongho and Yuri as the two of them were the only constant for me as they were at least entertaining. Chanis story was the most interesting for me but basically non-existent in the beginning and then so fractured with flashbacks that it was hard to really get behind until they literally explained every little detail and yet not everything was 100% clear.

You should watch Squid Game on netflix, its a really goofd serie

Wheezefest

I really wish this series was longer so they could have worked on giving characters and plot lines more depth. Favorite character was probably Eunjo (Chani's character), although his plot line was handled VERY poorly, Chani is an amazing actor and I actually felt bad for him. In my opinion, I found that plotline more interesting than the main romance. I actually found multiple plotlines more interesting than the main romance. I would have loved to see more conflict or friendship between the Shax members. I would have loved seeing more scenes with the CEO of Tea party and the CEO of Shax. The main romance in this just wasn't interesting once they got together.

I recommend you to watch "The Devil Judge". It is soo good. It's a mystery, law drama. Park Jin Young from Got7 and Park Gyu Young ( Nam Joo Ri, the nurse from It's okay to not be okay) have main roles. Also Park Jin Young acting is really good. 😊

I think you've already mentioned this but they really did try to do too much within the 12 episodes that nothing was really satisfying for me? They had lots of fun ideas yes, but the execution was...yes. I did enjoy the humour though, especially in the middle episodes, and my favourite character has to be La Rima and the hilarious producer guy who has to third wheel Lia (favourite love line yes!) all the time! The Dumb and Dumber from Shaxx are also honorary mentions lol, someone give me a spin off with Shaxx and these two as the mains, I'd watch it. But my favourite part of this entire drama has to be how terrible the songs are, they're so bad that they're good? PD when you said they made Seonghwa make his singing terrible...I feel like you need to witness ATEEZ relentlessly tearing Sparkling apart. ATINYs lived with "BREAK ᵈᵒʷⁿ" in their heads for weeks because of how often they kept whine-singing it it was great. ALSO I AGREE WITH WATCHING SQUID GAME!!!

Ewtio

The SHAX song you liked is called MALO if you wanna give it a listen. It's honestly one of my favorite songs right now lol

Edward Lee

like 75% of all kdramas....the secondary couple was much more fun than the main couple. STAN LIA!!!!!! But the winners of the drama were definitely Dumb and Dumber

M.C.

- When you have Malo and you don't push it - the hoodies gave graphic design is my passion vibes - Ryeok and the manager and Hyuk and Dojun have the best relationships and they aren't even focused on them - Hyunji and Yoojin felt very plastic, especially the way Yoojin turned around to start liking her and the scene where he apologized at the photoshoot felt very dismissive to me. I would like to see you guys watch The Secret Life of my Secretary after this. It's also a lighthearted show and it be a good replacement for Imitation. Thinking about it some of the characters kinda remind me of each other, but it's 32 episodes(30 minutes each) so the characters get more. If you're okay with watching a Chinese drama The Untamed or A Little Thing Called First Love would be interesting to see you guys react to.

My lighthearted show picks are Extraordinary You, followed immediately by True Beauty. Some of the same producers/directors worked on both so True Beauty has Extraordinary You Easter eggs that won't make sense if you watch TB first(it doesn't ruin it, but it'll definitely be confusing for a few scenes lol)

Aurayaya

I would definitely recommend True Beauty! Especially since Cha Eunwoo from Astro is one of the male leads

Kasey

Hi pd, you had said something about watching devil judge do you know when that will be?

Yuna

Taxi driver is sooo good it won’t disappoint!!

onyx.

my favourite couple is Naylung & Yunho but I'm really biased, but I do fully agree that they shouldn't be written as leftovers of Maha & Ryuk. I didn't read the book but I know that something that this show didn't include was that Lalima & the leader of SHAX have something romantic going on but not a full-blown relationship. my favourite part of the show is the duo & dynamic of Yuri & Jongho (blue & red hair, they were loved as the Pepsi duo on twitter). I could tell that they had a lot of fun creating this dynamic and showing it. I recommend listening to Malo by SHAX multiple times, you'd really like it. You probably don't need more show recommendations, but I saw a lot of people recommending really intense shows so I'll recommend some of my favourite light-hearted ones. "Run On" is an amazing show on Netflix that was highly praised for its portrayal of a healthy relationship, an independent female lead and a softer male lead. It makes your heart full and you'll have a fun and peaceful time. "Tale of Nokdu" is one of my favourite show of all time, the main leads performed absolutely amazing (won awards themselves & couple of the year). The comedy is fully there but there is still a solid and intense plot that escalates further into the show. Also I'm wondering whether would you watch a web series again like you did with "Dating Class" which I fully enjoy your reaction of it. I recommend the webseries "A-TEEN" (Season 1) by Playlist, it's my fav webseries of all time. They won OST of the year that is made by SEVENTEEN ;) If you want a darker webseries, I recommend "XX" also by Playlist with the female lead played by Hani from EXID.

Maureen

I recommend Sky Castle if you haven't seen it

Annemc022

I really liked sky castle, it’s one of my favourites drama ever, I think you’ll like it as well. If you want something more lighthearted I reccommend true beauty

Nanathathalielie

It's been a while since I watched sky castle but the show is amazing! would love to see PD's reaction to this!

Brianna

Some of the best kdrama I’ve seen are Chicago typewriter Sky castle Hospital playlist If you’re looking for more lighthearted dramas Love with flaws Extraordinary you True beauty

Maria

seeing as you seem to really be enjoying flower of evil, i'd highly recommend you watch the drama 'mouse'! it came out earlier this year and is honestly one of the best shows i've ever seen. also super dark and explores the whole idea of whether or not psychopathy can be genetically inherited. lee seunggi absolutely kills it on the show (pun possibly intended)

Woepan

I think most ppl were rooting for lia and leehyun tbh. Also this is my first time watching a kdrama and I'm not really a fan of this one (tho I know that there are better ones). I watched it because of Ateez and Sf9 and tbh I was kinda disappointed that we didn't get to see much of them. Also just because it has been bothering me: the song you guys were dislikeing the most apart from diamond (Amen by Shax), is actually my favorite song. I think the bowowow part that you disliked is really catchy. Like yeah the lyrics are weird and bowowow is not really a lyrics master piece but let's be honest at least 40% of actual kpop songs are the same. With that being said of course everyone is allowed to have their own opinion but I just wanted to say that I really like Amen :)

Astrid Le

I'm definitely rooting for Lia and Leehyun!

Irving

If you are looking for any other lighthearted dramas I will recommend Extra-ordinary You, though it does have sad and emotional plots, my other recommendations will be Still 17 or Run on

Don't call me.

Have u seen weightlifting fairy kim bok soo ? It was one of the first i watched. Also very funny. And if you havent watched it yet, SKY CASTLE. Introverted boss is also more funny. Just between lovers was really sad. Would you be interested in chinese dramas too? Even tho u would have to depend on subs like us 😅

star

I’m late but honestly the best part about watching this show was just some of your commentary, the mini tangent-rant after sparkling performed had me dying 😭 this show is probably gonna stay in my memory as “so bad it’s good sometimes” shows, which is disappointing since I think it really could’ve turned out SO much better….oh well. It also kinda sucked to see the side characters get MAJORLY shafted like midway through the show since they’re mostly what kept me watching but like I said, oh well 🥲 EDIT: also lmao re:San’s hair color if you remember way back to the first episode they showed Ma ha and all of sparkling as trainees, that was BEFORE a 3 year timeskip, and he had pink hair back then too, so that means his character has had pink hair for over 3 years

希文 王

this last episode made me cringe so hard (it's a combination of all the previous episodes so more like on the series), and I wished the side characters had more development :( also the whole SHAX group dynamic was weird for me, it's like who's the leader now? of the love stories definitely only Lia also this is my recommendation out of left field: The Master's Sun, it's somewhat lighthearted, but with solid plot and characters! the title is a little cheesy, but don't let that deter you

jongdongwoong

honestly hyuk and dojin's parts were the only one's that i really really enjoyed since i feel like they had an amazing chemistry. i think overall the funny/easy going parts were great but sometimes it just got a bit boring? since i'm an ateez fan i really enjoyed seeing the members acting. that's also the reason why i watched the whole drama.
