Great Film overall

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Reading down these review had my laughing. U keep saying that its racist for not adding an Asian male lead. What is so wrong about have the kpop being represented by females. Megan Lee is a kpop singer, and a female just because mostly males preform kpop doesn't mean that three strong females preforming kpop is unheard of. Also, the show is aimed to young kids 8-12 years old. You older kids don't have to like it, it's not a show for you. When you were 10 or 12 there was Sam and cat, drake and josh, icarly etc. You like them because you could relate to it and still had cheesy jokes and ridiculously shallow charters sometimes. Not that those shows weren't awesome I loved them but I'm just saying that at the time the older kids probably thought it suck just like you do about make it pop and probably other shows.And if you watched season 2 the were as a in male lead so I don't believe your "there all racist" claim to be correct in any way, shape, or form. I'm 15 years old and I love this show with my heart... You don't have to love it like I do but you shouldn't make big deals about something that is nothing or a small thing that if the actors do feel offended by it, its probably smaller than you think. BTW I'm look forward to season 3 hope they renew it.

I too watch the entire season, I was binge watching after I saw one of the episodes aired while I was waiting at a clinic. Anyway I would like to play as the devil's advocate and say that it's still is pretty much racist. The show revolves around 3 Asian female leads and one white guy. Sure they added a black guy later in the series but his role isn't given much of an impact like the white male lead. There's also a Asian guy I've seen in the background several times but that's about it. Unless you count Corki's dad but even so he's not a male lead. Still wish there was more diversity in the show like maybe adding a good looking Hispanic guy in the mix? This is the 21st century right? Now Brian camp, I'm assuming you're a white guy since apparently you fail to see the outrage other folks can plainly see. First off, for the sake of political correctness, Jodi is a Filipina not a Filipino, she's a chick not a dude. Despite the show being influenced by Jpop/Kpop there's no Asian male lead. James Lynch, the show's producer, said so himself that he would never ever add an Asian male lead. So it begs the question why? I mean if you over looked everything about the show and focus solely on the hidden message the show gives out, you'll know why. The show is basically saying that only white guys are good enough to date Asian women but not blacks, not Hispanics, heck not even a Asian guy himself? The show degenerates Asian women given the notion that they're nothing more than just a fetish. Hey maybe you fail to see it since well you're a white guy. I too attended a multi-racial arts school but that's where the similarities end Mr. Camp. The real world is diverse and not at all like this ethnic cleansing propaganda that you call a show.

For one, this is not even close to what was expected. I just watched to see what the fuss was about from social media. I can see that it is related to K-pop at the weakest level. The director/producers want to maintain the White Man Asian Woman dominance. 'the producer said "Nope! Never! Asian guys in my show, not gonna happen!", while everyone else–albeit uncomfortably–laughed it off. Come on now, it's a show about Korean pop. Half the artists from the K-pop industry are Asian men.'As mentioned by other reviewers, it seems like the producers are perpetuating the White Man Asian Woman fetish/fantasy. The acting and everything else seems appropriate for the target demographic. This is the only good part of this series. Its age appropriate and that it hits the target demographic.

I kept on seeing commercials for this show on Comcast On Demand, heard the line "girls form band over their love of K-Pop", and thought why not.FIRST OFF: This is not a K-Pop show, nor does it feature K-Pop specifically. One of the main characters may be Korean and dress in typical cutesy Otaku clothing but that is the end of it. There is also no mention of K-Pop at all in the show or by the characters. Advertisement's should stop mentioning K-Pop with this show immediately, that is false advertisement. Now that you've dropped the hope of seeing anything K-pop related, this isn't that bad of a show. Keep in mind this is a show catered to young kids - tweens who enjoy musical performances. Think of a mash-up of Zoey 101 & iCarly like characters and situations with sprinkles of Victorious- like stage performances.First episode was . . . interesting. Compared to other new Nick shows, the pilot wasn't terrible but it didn't wow me. Sun Hi and Caleb seemed like caricatures more than actual people. There was a lot more diversity than I expected coming from a Nick show but as others noted, there is no Asian male characters (of the episodes I've seen so far). It was way more colorful than I expected. It is also a pre-dominantly female cast with one male main character.After the pilot, we got to see more relatable personalities from the main characters; Corki is straight-laced student who is pressured by her father to perform well in everything academic but finds an outlet with the girls. Sun Hi is an eccentric girl proving to herself and her parents that she isn't a disappointment just because she'd rather pursue the arts than academics. Jodi is a loyal and talented fashionista and dancer that seems to mellow out Sun Hi's loud personality. Overall, the show isn't that bad compared to other Nick/Disney shows, the music is decent as well. Just don't expect to hear anything other than Pop. The set itself and the characters' clothing might be too colorful for a lot of people but you'll get used to it. The characters outfits are a lot more louder than their actual personalities (excluding Sun Hi), so don't be discouraged at first sight. The situations the girls get into are definitely on the exaggerated, slightly ridiculous side but not as outrageous as other kids shows (Dog with a Blog, etc.) Also, the episodes seem to always end on a cliffhanger (if you can call it that) and end abruptly.So if you want a realistic show with life-lessons aimed towards kids, this isn't the show for you. Watch Girl Meets World for that! If your kid is bored, likes Pop, and wants to be slightly entertained, this is your show.
