Trot Lovers


   The plot revolves around a girl, Choi Choon Hee, that lives with her sister, Byul, and her father. They have a convenience store. One day, the store is closed because they can’t pay the loans. Choi Choon Hee makes a marathon team and runs the marathon. There, she meets Jang Joon-Hyun, a celebrity also running in the marathon, that cheats to be victorious, which is seen by Choon Hee. Then someone reveals that he cheated on the race and he causes her to get fired. But, he’s career in music starts to fall. So, the president of the company says that if Choi Choon Hee enters his company through auditions and, when released an album, she wins the first place, he can have an album. So he accepts in order to succeeded in music again. She accepts in order to pay the bills so that her father returns home, but she can only sing trot. But what will happen to this two? Why did the president of the company want to Choon Hee to enter his company? Why did her father run away? Will he come back? Will trot succeed?

   I liked the plot, and the songs since I only listen to idols and we can see another genre that we don’t see in idols songs. But, I have to say that there was one part of the plot that I predicted and I thought, “why the hell did they put that?”. Otherwise, I really liked the story, the characters and the songs.
   I end this post with 3 songs:
 - "I Look To You" by Beige (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExHbN4LhD6g)
 - "With You" by Eunji (original by Nam Jin) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h0vhDIwW6k)
 - "Hot Pepper" by Eunji (original by Yoo Ji Na) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1MCdcoE21I)

This is the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gDObJXTHfI
I think they should have released the trot songs in the OST.
