I've been playing this every night for a week straight—the schedule management actually feels tense and rewarding. Scouting new talent and building their training is surprisingly addictive.

Balancing the budget between training costs and music video shoots is way more tense than I expected for a K-pop game. The talent scouting mini-game really makes you feel like you're building a group from scratch.
