About
You may enjoy this if you like bittersweet stories about fame, family rivalry, and the cost of chasing dreams, with humor mixed into the drama; Not for you if you need deeply likable leads or a fresh plot like The Perfect Dictatorship.
Pros: lively mix of comedy; strong lead performances; catchy music-video moment | Cons: shallow character growth; formulaic rise-and-fall; hard to root for
