Review: Jumping Girl




Synopsis: One girl's life turns upside down after she tries saving an idol, but is mistaken as a crazy fan instead.

Number of Episodes: 15





Thoughts:
Basically a bunch of idols' first stint in acting as they star in this webtoon-based drama. This show stars f(x)'s Luna, Block B's U-Kwon and B-Bomb, and Secret's Hana.

Idols in dramas have been a subject of debate. My opinion on the matter is that idols should start small. Web dramas are nice as they are all shot before airing and usually the story line isn't as in-depth and doesn't require amazing acting. Its a good way to get their feet wet in this new field.

This drama seems like a good start for these idols. I didn't expect great acting, but I saw potential in some of these idols (and some that need some practice).  The storyline was fresh, but predictable at the same time. It seems like a light watch, but can touch an emotion every once and awhile. Overall, it was a nice watch when I wasn't into watching a traditional drama.


Verdict:
Not a must watch, but if you are a fan of any of the idols, then you can add it to your watch list (just so you can say later on you watched it).
