The synergy the original G7 had was what made it special, it took all those episodes for them to get comfortable with each other only for them to be replaced. Sunbyung will always be in my heart. Hyomin's letter was so touching, and you could tell that came from her heart. Hyomin was in a group of nobodies, they just debuted in 2009, she was a rookie, and clearly didn't know what to do. Meanwhile, Sunny gained insane popularity through Gee earlier in the year, and Genie halfway through the year as follow up promotions. You could clearly see the difference between them. Hyomin was constantly being edited out, and she was complaining about it, even asking for tips on how to be broadcasted. Naturally, she turned to her sunbaes for tips, and eventually found something in Sunny. Their relationship gradually built up, and sunbyung was born. I find it amazing how Sunny willingly taught Hyomin the ins and outs of the entertainment industry, and held onto her hand like a little sister, guiding her through all the hardships.
When that dynamic disappeared... the show felt empty to me. Even when Sunny left, she secretly asked Narsha (? maybe shinyoung) to keep an eye on Hyomin for her. Hyomin literally started to tear up when she learned about it, even though she was playfully suggesting she was good enough now to not need Sunny.
I hope they kept the friendship alive some how.
On that note, I'm disappointed in Hyomin too. She should have been like Sunny, and guided Hwayoung and Ahreum.
I wasn't too fond of maknae producer, she was kind of obnoxious sometimes (whiny hyuna)
The Taewoo-Yuri stuff was great, and the chief favoring Yuri too. Shinyoung's personal friendships with soshi too.
Also Sunhwa's hidden camera was one of the best moments. white paper persona OP
I never finished IY, I stopped when the 3 left
I purely stumbled upon IY by accident, and it was probably one of the best things to have happened ever.
I was a super-fat sone, with no respect towards any other group at the time, and I was just itching to watch soshi variety, so I figured I'd download anything I could from soshified and power-watch through it. It was the best decision I have ever made. It showed me the interactions between different groups, which led to me actually liking different girl groups. T-ara and Secret mainly, which led to other groups. (Although I think girl group music blows now)
edit: how the hell did I write that much? sry I'm like delirious right now so tired... which is why I sound like I'm rambling.
