EPISODE REVIEWS

This episode is incredibly moving and has a priceless value for me: it reflects the importance of representation in an industry that, with its strict standards, seems intent on excluding a large number of people. It's somewhat reminiscent of the climax of Paradise Kiss, though much more intense and full of character growth. The moments of crisis are genuinely frightening, even though the outcome is predictable and not entirely unexpected. I have high hopes for the following episodes.

Definitely, a very inspiring episode, with those circumstances truly reflecting real-life scenarios and the showcased emotions being both authentically heartwarming and deeply overwhelming. Furthermore, I also really like the balance of having a subtle comedic scene in this narrative direction to ease the intensity of the situation, making the entire execution very riveting.

The pressure is INSANE!! Can our dear underdog fashion duo come in clutch at a time like this?! omg I love their dynamic sm 😍 Niinuma being a bit like an audience surrogate is so cute. She's totally reacting just like me fr fr. This ep feels like PURE MAGIC. The fantastic energy is inspiring and full of hope~ I’m smiling from ear to ear at this perfectly paced ep!! 😁
