When I became hooked with Korean variety show, I came across this show where all the casts except for the two MCs are girls. Rarely in such setting would I find this interesting because girls especially k-pop idols are pretty limited in what they can or cannot show on broadcast. If you're familiar with k-pop idols, you know that they have to adhere to certain policies to protect their image, which in return would put the humor on monotone.
But luckily Heroes done a great job at casting these girls who have different and somewhat distinct personalities. Though they struggle at first to fit in, they eventually become close friends. In a way, it's almost like watching LOST; you threw a bunch of people with different stories and personalities and see how they survive.
The show ground is to battle the girls on popularity ranking while also making effort to promote these celebrities to the crowd.
Every week, 12 girls will be divided into two teams; the popular team and the not-so popular team. The placement was based on votes cast by netizen/citizen of So. Korea. At first, it's kind of worrying to see these girls have to face the truth about how they appear to public but on the upside, they have the way of making their way up if they know where they are now. And thus, they are given missions to complete.
It's such a fun time watching them learning something new, depend on each other and making memories.
Overall, it was truly a remarkable experience watching this show. Such a pity that it only lasted 40 episodes.
