    Good Enough
    Korean Drama "Idol: The Coup" was, surprisingly, a really good idol drama. The music was great, the drama just enough. And it wasn't overburdened by any romance. Rather, it was friendship-focused, with sweet dynamics between the girls and nice progress when it came to their struggles on becoming an idol group with another hit. The ending was bittersweet and unexpected as well.

    And, even though most members of the cast are idols, all the performances are great and quite emotional. Maybe they even gave their own flare to the drama too.

    In addition, the pace was excellent and the drama managed to wrap up everything in just a few episodes without missing anything. However, the ending needed more time to be properly presented nad it did feel overstuffed and rushed.

    So, overall, 8 out of 10.
