If you have watched, you know that this show is the bees knees i...

From the mouth of Maddie, their review of this drama is, "We... we.... we liked it? We liked it. Yes, we liked it. We liked it!"

At this point, I think most of us have heard of the newest KPop survival show: BOYS PLANET. (Most likely because of TikToks from the bad auditions and, y'all, they're true.)

Heads up: Maddie frickin loves shows like this, so she's all in, but she also has LOTS of q...
