"Oshi no Ko" employs comedy and drama to explore the entertainment industry's complexities. Despite its initial gritty portrayal of industry realities, the series shifts focus to dissect industry workings, compromising organic discovery. Although it underscores industry dangers, it restricts complete immersion into its profound horrors, maintaining the glamourous façade of the idol's life. This can be attributed to narrative constraints and the protagonist's comfort within the industry, preventing substantial exploration of its challenges.
