Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

megalink-77731 Absolutely horrendous. The acting was sub-par and even though this is inspired by K-Pop, the bigoted producer said that he absolutely refused to put Asian males in this show. This is sending a message of self-hate and white male supremacy. This modern era of shows on Nickelodeon, they are a far cry from the old days of Nickelodeon embracing diversity, now they are planning on giving messages of preferred treatment and favoritism to the children and pre-teenagers of the United States of America. I shudder to think what would happen if the children absorb the messages and start to apply racist stereotypes based on this bigoted media.
Katie Serova I was originally drawn to the show due to its being advertised as relating to K-Pop. After beginning watching it, I soon realized the only relation it has to K-Pop is the foundation of the show (albeit a very tiny foundation) and the source of around 3 posters in the three girls' bedroom. This I decided to accept with disappointment, and trudged on in giving the show a chance.I only managed to watch the first season, because I couldn't bear to continue the atrocity. To begin with, the main character, Sun Hi, is a rude, self-absorbed, absolutely unintelligent girl. I understand this is a tween show, but none of the tween shows I grew up with, such as Zoey 101, iCarly, and Victorious had such terrible role models as their main characters. Corki and Jodi are great, but Sun Hi's treatment of them is fueled by her constant need to shine and be the star of the show. This brings out Sun Hi as a terrible model of a friend. My own mother criticized my admiration of Carly from iCarly thinking she was obnoxious. Carly is an angel compared to Sun Hi's character.I gave the dialogue and acting some leeway considering it's a tween show following in the footsteps of iCarly and Victorious. I also understand that in one season, character development is not something to be hoping for, but to be fair, iCarly and Victorious were much less disastrous. I'm all for girl power, it's not a bad thing. But the estrogen and female hierarchy is overpowering in this show. Half of it is the three main girls competing with the senior cheer squad. There are two prominent male characters, but they're both so minor and operate as clowns for laughs. They don't have to be Asian (although that would certainly help the racism prominent in the US), but the male roles should, forgive me for a lack of better words, have a bigger role in the show. Lastly, I'll admit, the songs are catchy and pretty good. And the choreography is also reasonable and acceptable. This is why I gave the show 4 stars, and not 1 or 2.In conclusion, although the show has a select few positive attributes, it serves as a horrible model for teenagers, and has more than a few things to be fixed or at least alleviated.
Jade240 I kept on seeing commercials for this show on Comcast On Demand, heard the line "girls form band over their love of K-Pop", and thought why not.FIRST OFF: This is not a K-Pop show, nor does it feature K-Pop specifically. One of the main characters may be Korean and dress in typical cutesy Otaku clothing but that is the end of it. There is also no mention of K-Pop at all in the show or by the characters. Advertisement's should stop mentioning K-Pop with this show immediately, that is false advertisement. Now that you've dropped the hope of seeing anything K-pop related, this isn't that bad of a show. Keep in mind this is a show catered to young kids - tweens who enjoy musical performances. Think of a mash-up of Zoey 101 & iCarly like characters and situations with sprinkles of Victorious- like stage performances.First episode was . . . interesting. Compared to other new Nick shows, the pilot wasn't terrible but it didn't wow me. Sun Hi and Caleb seemed like caricatures more than actual people. There was a lot more diversity than I expected coming from a Nick show but as others noted, there is no Asian male characters (of the episodes I've seen so far). It was way more colorful than I expected. It is also a pre-dominantly female cast with one male main character.After the pilot, we got to see more relatable personalities from the main characters; Corki is straight-laced student who is pressured by her father to perform well in everything academic but finds an outlet with the girls. Sun Hi is an eccentric girl proving to herself and her parents that she isn't a disappointment just because she'd rather pursue the arts than academics. Jodi is a loyal and talented fashionista and dancer that seems to mellow out Sun Hi's loud personality. Overall, the show isn't that bad compared to other Nick/Disney shows, the music is decent as well. Just don't expect to hear anything other than Pop. The set itself and the characters' clothing might be too colorful for a lot of people but you'll get used to it. The characters outfits are a lot more louder than their actual personalities (excluding Sun Hi), so don't be discouraged at first sight. The situations the girls get into are definitely on the exaggerated, slightly ridiculous side but not as outrageous as other kids shows (Dog with a Blog, etc.) Also, the episodes seem to always end on a cliffhanger (if you can call it that) and end abruptly.So if you want a realistic show with life-lessons aimed towards kids, this isn't the show for you. Watch Girl Meets World for that! If your kid is bored, likes Pop, and wants to be slightly entertained, this is your show.
drgripe-05389 Introducing Kpop to a wider audience on Nick is a great idea. Showing the similarities if people from different cultures is the first step in understanding. My daughter is Autistic and has mixed ethnic heritage. She has no problems with this and I am happy she shows interest. I have no idea if there will or will not be Korean males in future episodes. To judge this from ONE episode is a bit of an over reaction and will only cause a situation where LESS understanding of people of different ethnic backgrounds will occur. The first episode shaped up well. Given that a cast can take 5 or more episodes to develop characters and create the synergy between characters this was fairly good from the first episode.It has strong potential for developing an audience that will appreciate it going forward.I hope this is just the beginning of more multi-cultural shows from Nick in the future. So far I am pleased and My Daughter is looking forward to the next episode.
