REACTION to PRODUCE 101 S01E07

Yeah I agree, the camera work on "full moon" was a bit wierd. They seemed to focus on the girl's visuals rather than the actual dance, but also all those cuts to people's reactions just kept pulling you out of the performance. I think the full version (w/o the reaction cuts) is way better. I will say, Sohye's progress on the show was very heartwarming to watch. She essentially showed how someone who didn't have much dance/vocal training can become a singer through hard work and practice. Everyone watched her grow. Plus she's adorable and very likeable.

I'm usually a ho for vocalists, so it's surprising to me that my fave performances are usually the dance position ones (Bang Bang here, Ong Seungwoo's team in broduce, underdog Instruction team in PD48)

A fun fact for you: The Bang Bang performance is still the most viewed performance from All seasons of Produce, at over 46 million views, with Nekoya being 2nd place. Bang Bang is THAT performance in Produce and honestly remains iconic for a reason

Yeah, I agree that the Full Moon performance was edited weirdly. I think the camera person probably favored closeups of Kyulkyung (Pinky) and Chaeyeon because they were two of the most popular visuals in the series and Mnet wanted to accentuate that. As for Sohye, they probably favored closeups because she wasn't the best dancer, so it hid any mistakes and stopped her from being compared with the other two in order to better frame her story arc of improvement (Kyulkyung was a classically trained in Chinese traditional dance and Chaeyeon had already debuted in DIA, so even though Sohye definitely did improve, they were NOT on equal footing). But at the end of the day, all the closeups made them look more like models than dancers and, in my opinion, honestly made it harder to see how much Sohye improved

The performance of "You Look Good" was amazing. On a more light-hearted note, in case anyone hasn't seen it, Dreamcatcher's Siyeon and Yoohyeon did a hilarious (and surprisingly competent?) cover of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ4Vr0o2z9E Also, about the whole flying under the radar thing, I feel like that's a given with these kinds of shows. With literally a hundred trainees you can't realistically give them all a significant amount of screen time. But then the point of the show obviously isn't to be fair to the trainees...
