BP brings a different vibe to the listeners, they have their style. each members has their own story but the same purpose: to be debuted. just imagine year after year doing the same things but you dont know you will get in line or not. you just do it. somehow Rosé, Jisoo, Lisa and Jennie had made it.

just look at how they bonded with each other on the very first day: jamming to music 'till morning. gosh i wish i had friends like that. somehow they were meant to be.
you want a dark story of how they were trained? no, i dont think you will get it. this is the story of how BP become BP. only 4 years and they've come so far. i understand why you cant see the meaning after watching this documentary, because it is just the beginning guys, it's an introduction of a long long documentary about how they conquer the world. just be patient and they will show you.

maybe people will not talk about them after 6 or 7 years but trust me, the koreans will never forget about these 4 girls.

Perhaps in some way for those who could be interested in it, the documentary gives you an idea of ​​the machinery behind a K-Pop group.
Especially from one that has become so famous worldwide, but in general, the end product is only the result of its own marketing.

Why am I saying this? Because people will be hardly speaking about Blackpink again in about 6 or 7 years. Especially if you take into consideration the little commercial life that these groups have in the business.
Therefore, considering that having a documentary only corresponds to the impact they currently have, you can notice yourself by watching it, how little of their story has something meaningful to say.

* I had to listen to their music to get a better idea of ​​what I'm talking about, and what I discovered is that their sound is more inclined towards western markets.
It's not something strange, many of those groups are already doing the same, but musically I didn't find anything impressive.

Let me give you brain and a little critique: it is not good or well-made at all. You don't get to know any of them. Other celebrity documentaries are a great deal better, showing whatever deeply human stuff about them. This doc only showed that Blackpink has four members that are just normal girls really, with normal ideas that do not match their great performance and singing skills. This documentary made their enchantement end for me, really. Expand

It’s one of several surprisingly candid moments throughout the 80-minute film, which aims to give the four young women who make up the most powerful girl group in the world right now, K-pop or otherwise, a “three-dimensional quality.”
