To Be Continued (2015)

I actually wasn't going to watch it at first because the front cover made it seem like it was going to be a romance, but it wasn't. It actually showed me to a new kpop group Astro that I'm now obsessed with. The episodes are short which was kind of a bummer, but in such a short time it actually worked.

For the story I would say it was okay. It was one of those shows that you basically knew what was gonna happen in the end so nothing was surprising yet since the episodes are short you quickly want to go to the next episode.

The music was good and the acting was good.

I would watch it again since it's short and because Astro is in it.

TL:DR - While To Be Continued is definitely not the best drama ever produced, it’s perfectly serviceable for what it is. Would recommend for people who want to watch a drama that doesn’t make them think too hard, or for people looking to get into Astro. (And if after you’re done and you’re still not convinced you should, I would recommend immediately going to YouTube and watching “[ASTRO DDOCA] 160810,” wherein 2/3s of the group spends 8 entire minutes screaming at a cicada that invaded their office. It is literally one of the funniest things you will ever see in your entire life.)


STORY: 6
The six-member idol group Astro is about to finally make their big debut. However, a freak accident sends all the members back in time to their trainee days before their big audition stage. However, some of the members gradually begin forgetting that they have come from the future, and old rivalries and quarrels start to rear their ugly heads once again. These six young men must put aside their pride and rebuild their team if they are ever going to have a second shot at debuting and achieving their dreams.

If I were to try to describe this story in one sentence, it would probably be “An RPF fanfic come to life.” This is not a pejorative against RPF fanfic as a whole, but if one were to think about a stereotypical fanfic plot, it would likely be along the lines of something like this. Basically, the plot is not the focus of this drama. It is merely an excuse to see predebut Astro dancing and singing and doing other predebut Astro things. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but do not go into it expecting anything deep, thought-provoking, or life-changing. It is a good time, nothing more, nothing less. (The tags are misleading, however; this is not really a romance drama, and you should not go into it expecting one. There is a little flirting and romantic tension between some of the boys and their female co-stars, but nothing I would really define as a definitive relationship upgrade.)


ACTING/CAST: 7
Nothing stellar, but definitely nothing terrible, either. Astro is essentially playing exaggerated versions of themselves, and are clearly having a blast doing so. All turn in pretty good performances, as do most of their co-stars. Special shout out goes to MJ, who is the secret main character of this drama. It’s amazing to me that he’s never had a main role in a drama aside from this, he clearly has the chops to pull it off.
Also, the outtakes at the end of each episode are hands down the funniest parts of the whole show, don’t skip them!


MUSIC: 7.5
While Astro’s music has definitely improved in the 6 years since this was released, what’s here definitely isn’t bad! It’s a perfectly serviceable OST with a few standout moments.


REWATCH VALUE: 7
Since the drama is only about the length of a 2 hour movie in total, it’s really not a big time investment, and I can see someone putting it on again for a laugh or to reminisce about how adorable baby Astro was (especially Sanha, who was only 15 at the time of filming).


OVERALL: 7
Pros:
- Very short; you can finish it in the time it would take to watch a normal movie.
- Great way to get introduced to Astro quickly if you are interested in getting into them (and as a die-hard, longtime fan of theirs, trust me, it’s well worth the time investment).
- Just a simple, fun, uncomplicated time suitable for all ages.

Cons:
- Has what we in the writing business call an “excuse plot”; they honestly should have spent a little more time in the writers room beefing up the scripts before going out and filming.
- There are a couple pretty glaring inconsistencies between the real Astro and the Astro that appears in this drama, which may cause a little confusion if you decide to watch some of their bts videos or do any more research into them after finishing. The biggest ones I can think of off the top of my head are that Jinjin is the real leader of Astro, not Eunwoo, and Eunwoo is a lot more personable, sweet, and downright goofy irl than he comes across as in this drama.
- People looking for some thought-provoking entertainment, this is not the drama for you.

A cute story about Astro!

I really enjoyed watching this drama!

It's cute sweet and short, normally short dramas are not that good because it always feels like something is missing, but not in this one, I think the series was very complete. I liked the story of how Astro was formed (I don't know if it's the real story or not but even if it isn't I liked it). i liked the fact that it was about kpop, I would like to watch more dramas about kpop that are cute like this one.

I think this series is pretty inspiring, it makes us realize how hard it may be for us to follow our dreams and how many obstacles can exist in the way, but still we should fight back and dream.

I loved the scenarios, they were so beautiful that it contributed a lot in the creation of a cute atmosphere. The actors are really handsome (and I'm not just talking about the boys, the girls are really pretty!!). My favorite was MJ because i'd always laugh a lot due to him. I love Astro's songs, and these ones didn't disappoint me at all, Innocent Love it's one of my favorite songs ever!!!

I was really into the story, but there was a point of it near the end where i started getting very confused. Because of that I couldn't quite understand the end. And I didn't like one of the final couples in there (but this is just my opinion), but aside from that the ending was pretty cute, complete and inspiring.

i would recommend this (and I did) to all Astro's fans, to anyone who wants to know them, or anyone who likes kpop or sweet school dramas.

I would rewatch this so that maybe I could understand the ending a little better.

Love for ASTRO grows from this show. All the characters are loavable and they are all perfectly fit into their role. Even tough it may be confusing for the people who watching this show, it gives you good entertaining scenes.

Just like all other idol dramas this show also have no reality in it. I like how they made MJ, MoonBin and Eun-woo characters. They are perfectly fit into this characters. I loved MJ more than all by his natural acting. Jin Jin also nailed his character. Sanha cute and rocky well danced.

Even tough there is no need for the female lead, she given her full acting into this role. The teacher is our princess from Scarlet heart Ryo. Surprised to see her here as teacher for this young artists.

I missed Cha Eun-woo’s Smile. He is just like in Gangnam beauty. No smile in face. Truly ASTRO is well made group with all members. Hope you will like this. Since it is a web drama it is easily watched in one go.

Definitely I can rewatch this show. And music is good. Boys are soo handsome to watch again.

Overall 8/10

I originally didn't want to watch this because I am not a fan of overly cute shows and music dramas have to have a really good soundtrack for me to become invested. BUT If you want a bite sized drama that is fun and fast paced, this is definitely a GOOD CHOICE! I ended up watching this as a way to introduce myself to Astro (my friends wouldn't stop bringing it up) and it was much more entertaining than I expected. Each boy plays their roles well, even if they aren't stretched too far from their own personalities. I can definitely see some potential with a few of them should they decide to pursue acting later on. The music is great of course (I have all the songs), but I think the dancing sold me on how fun it was to watch. The competitiveness between characters was apparent and not too cliche. I found myself getting hyped at points, cheering for characters, and angry at others (cue arguing with my laptop). So I got invested faster than I thought I would. The supporting cast was pleasant to watch as well, overall the acting and fairly original storyline made up for the sometimes cheesy effects. With the pace of the story, the amount of episodes, and the length of episodes this drama can definitely be rewatched. I have watched it twice already! I think everyone should at least give this drama a shot, it's not the best, but it's definitely good :)

-Sorta cute (I think) but mainly I was just confused
-The plot was all over the place
-SUPERRR short which did not do the drama any favors in this case (there wasn't any room for character, plot or world development
-The acting was cute (in that cringey awkward newcomer sort of way)
-The music was just ok, ASTRO is one of those groups that has grown exponentially in their music, and this showcases a bit of their very (trainee-esc) beginning
-I'd recommend if you are a die hard fan of ASTRO and/or really want to see them in their early fetus years, but if not, it's definitely worth skipping
