The Story
Lee Ma Ha is a struggling idol trainee who continues to pursue her dream after her debut is cut short by a tragic death. When a former manager comes to Ma Ha and her band mates with the idea of starting a new agency with them as his first stars they jump at the chance to perform again. Meanwhile, Ma Ha’s former crush from trainee days, Kwon Ryok, is now the leader of the popular group Shax. Ma Ha’s renewed bid for stardom repetitively places her in Ryok’s path and she quickly finds that her feelings for him haven’t lessened with time. But can the two find a way to be together that doesn’t destroy their careers?
Should I Watch
“Imitation” is a simple romantic comedy that tackles some of the serious questions about idol life and the music industry. While the problems about obsessive fans and corrupt management are real-life issues, this drama is more concerned with shedding light on them than offering any realistic solutions. But as long as you are tuning in for the entertainment value, this shouldn’t present a problem. The story of idols trying to date isn’t exactly unique or unpredicatable, but the love stories are cute and the music is fun, especially if you are familiar with any of the all-star idol cast. I give “Imitation” a 7 out of 10 ramen.
