Super Star Academy
Aug. 13th, 2021 09:43 amIn a parallel world, Super Star Academy ranks people based on one's horoscope sign. Cheng Zhi Er, who has been bullied all her life, was suddenly recruited for enrollment at this academy. Her own supernatural power is slowly awakened and thus begins her new life with the heirs in this parallel world. (MDL - 2016)
One of the most ridiculous drama I've ever seen. But the good thing is that they didn't take themselves seriously and overall, it was just ridiculous funny. Charming in some way, like with all that product placement throwing in your face that made me go from 😳 to 😅. The fight scenes were so stiff and so ridiculous I was laughing the whole time.
But the reason I am rating this 4 only is because it was like watching a fantasy shoujo anime, and currently I hate fantasy shoujo; it is full of cliche and stupid tropes, like: 2 smart and handsome guys, rivals, falling for the same dumb and useless girl. The heroine is cute but serves only to be a damsel in distress. The most beautiful and rich girl in school is obviously jealous of the new girl because the boy he likes is in love with the new girl. The new girl is, of course, motherless. And of course, at the end, turns out the useless girl is not entirely useless since she is the reincarnation or whatever from the most powerful goddess. **Eyerolling**. Redemption of the bad guy at the ending.**Eyerolling**
Once again the editing of a CDrama... it ends out of nowhere, one thing happens and the next scene, other thing is happening; the pace is weird; character development, was there any? etc, etc.
Nevertheless, I don't regret watching this. I loved to see a younger, chubby-cheeks, brown-haired Xiao Zhan (he even has the natural color of his teeth!), playing the role of a rich, tsundere boy (more like Irie-kun than Domyoji, thank G). I was dying to watch him in a romantic role, with more kisses and hugs and longing, and isn't the girl lucky or what! The hugs were ok but that one kiss was so stiff and awkward ^_^ I was expecting more tbh, but if he goes and kisses the girl in surprise, no wonder it was so stiff.
I also liked to see the other members of XNINE. After "Fights Break Sphere" I am fond of 3 of them and I liked seeing them having fun. The ending, though, was ridiculously bad. Like, "whut the f" bad. Why in the world did the girl disappear if she was going to show up again? What was the point? Who was that heir?? The last 10 episodes were unnecessarily long, for the last 5 episodes I had to use the 1.25 speed.
I think that the most important thing to consider before watching this drama is: to not take it seriously and just have fun.
**My rating: 4/10**
