High 6/10
Not as strong as last week's episode, but still enjoyable due to the intriguing setup for the final season. It would easily rate an 8 or higher if the writers included more dramatic scenes.
The development of the new trio feels rushed; they work well together without any growing pains. Each character has a different view of what an idol should be, which should create conflicts on and off stage.
Unfortunately, any debate is reduced to surface-level responses and clichés. Characters should be developed through drama, especially since they need to carry the story.
To engage the audience in the third season, the show must move beyond flashy dance numbers and comedic moments.
