[HanCinema's Drama Review] "IDOL: The Coup" Episode 1
By William Schwartz | Published on
Jenna (played by Ahn Hee-yeon) is the leader of a failed girl idol group Cotton Candy. If that sounds like cruel phrasing, that's exactly what everyone keeps calling Jenna and all the rest of Cotton Candy. In flashback, Cotton Candy debuts with a decent amount of attention. But they haven't been able to excite much attention since. Nevertheless, Jenna persists in doing events and interviews, even with a rude radio DJ played by Jang Sung-kyu who insults Jenna to her face.
