How Was This Doc Supposed To Help Katseye
I was so excited for this doc, but after watching it I feel a little let down. I was excited to learn more about the six girls and how they became Katseye and see some of the other girls. However after watching the show I don't really feel anything.
I've been a stan since Dream Academy days and the top six was my lineup, and I didn't feel compelled by this story. I can't imagine how a non stan would feel watching this. I was personally even little bored at times.
I feel like this show promoted HxG, Missy, Emily, Adela, and Naisha, more than the members of Katseye. Manon and Megan got decent screentime and story arcs, but I feel like the other four girls were just side characters in their own story. Which we know all six girls are interesting, after all the fan content we've watched.
They didn't even show footage of the judges picking the lineup, even though pretty much been transparent with the rest of the process.
Sophia and Lara had one of the most popular friendships during DA, why didn't we have more scenes showing their dynamic? Manon and Daniela are really close, and we can see she's the only OG girl who seemed to hang out with her at first, Manon even thanks her for always being there for her. Where was the footage of their friendship? Dani shot up from 17th to like 5th, why didn't we get her reaction? Where were the Yoonchae scenes? Other than getting lunch with her family, she was practically nonexistent throughout this doc. By the finale, Lara and Manon were holding hands and telling each other they loved each other and Sophia seemed happy Manon was in the group, why not show more scenes of them reconciling and growing a friendship?
I feel like a group of stans could have been hired to create a story that was more compelling for the six girls, and still give story arcs for the other contestants. I couldn't imagine someone stumbling upon this on Netflix and wanting to follow the girls and the group.
