About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an unusual showbiz drama about fame, identity, and ego clashes, carried by big performances; Not for you if you dislike long, melodramatic second halves or shaky logic like some viewers noted.
Pros: fresh high-concept premise; strong lead performances; memorable voice-driven moments | Cons: lengthy second half; uneven pacing; supporting role feels flat
