I really hope that this drama will still include the kpop trainee life as a background. I'm more interested in that than the BU honestly. The characters sound really interesting and it would be refreshing to see a teen drama without a romance as the main plot device. I also read somewhere that this drama will be coming out on Netflix and has a budget of approximately 40 million dollars. I have high hopes for this drama.

I'm on the fence about whether they should use BTS real name or not. For BU content, ARMYs are the only ones actively reading them and (most ARMYs) know it is fiction. But I I don't know how the non-BTS initiated people might find this confusing.

I'm not a big BU fan so I don't know a lot about it. I do think that non fans thinking Tae really killed someone, Suga committed arson, or J Hope being in a hospital (?) for attempted suicide? would be a real stretch of the imagination. I think it would be safer to just change the characters name to something similar. Maybe like Jimin to Park Jihoon....etc.

Kpop trainee life?

They aren't trainees in BU though are they?

They're just ordinary guys

I think it would be more interesting for the characters to be kpop trainees instead of just regular teenagers. It would have a new twist of kpop trainees actually being real people who go through major struggles outside of kpop/music. That they aren't always defined by kpop, that like all jobs it is just one contributing factor in life. More interesting would be if some of them walked away from kpop because of what is going on in their personal lives.
