Description
Boy group Victoria finally debuted after three years of hard training. However, their performance as a group fell flat, and they announced their disbandment after just a year. Eight years later, a hot topic once again brought this group to the attention of netizens. Seeing the surging popularity, the management company urgently called back the members and invested heavily to organize a variety show for the group. As soon as the first episode of the show was announced, it was met with cold mockery from netizens. “A variety show with a bunch of washed-up old men, not even dogs would watch this!” When the show aired, the five members reunited, leaving everyone in awe. Netizen A: “Isn’t that suited-up elite guy the CEO of Guang Yao Media? What is he doing here?”Fan: “He’s Captain Sang Luo of Victoria. A real prince charming! Wealthy and handsome, a perfect investment!” Netizen B: “Isn’t that the internet-famous musician with millions of fans?”Fan: “That’s our amazing vocalist, Xiao Han. A human Barbie! Gorgeous and sweet, excelling in both singing and composing!” Netizen C: “I know that Cheng Yun An guy! He’s a popular parenting blogger on XX platform! Wishful thinking of a perfect husband!”Fan: “The strongest rapper on the surface of the Earth, get to know him? Cool and stylish, the ace of V Group!” Netizen D: “What the heck! Why is Jiang Zhi Xia here?”Fan: “Doesn’t everyone know that our Best Actor Jiang is born to be an idol? One of the faces of V Group and their ultimate attacker – Jiang Zhi Xia!” Netizen E: “Is Jiang Zhi Xia’s appearance just one of his features?! Is your group trying to conquer the world?” And then, the final member appeared. Fan: “Introducing our youngest member, the ultimate face who’s also the group’s favorite – Xia Zhi! He can be salty or sweet, any style you like!” Netizens checked his background – an incredibly young professor at XX University. Netizen: “How did a lineup like this flop in the first place? Outrageous!” After the first episode aired, the washed-up old men officially renamed themselves “Treasure Boys.” Netizens felt a mix of regret and admiration for the members’ unwavering chemistry and team spirit over the past decade. At this moment, a revelation surfaced that the initial disbandment was due to internal conflicts among the teammates. It was none other than the most popular members in the group, Jiang Zhi Xia and Xia Zhi. After the show concluded, a celebratory banquet was broadcasted by the production team. Jiang Zhi Xia, who couldn’t hold his liquor, was quickly intoxicated. The online viewers had the privilege of witnessing the icy and domineering Jiang Zhi Xia transform into a sweet and affectionate little bun beside Xia Zhi. “Honey, I miss you so much. It’s my fault, will you forgive me? Can we start anew?” Netizen: “…What happened to not getting along?”

My Thoughts on The Outdated Boy Group Became Popular
"The Outdated Boy Group Became Popular" promised a low-angst journey of rekindled love and second chances in the entertainment world, and for the most part, it delivered a heartwarming experience. The premise itself is quite refreshing: a disbanded boy group unexpectedly finds renewed fame, offering a unique backdrop for a romance to bloom.
First Impressions
I was immediately drawn in by the idea of a mature romance blossoming amidst the chaos of showbiz. The initial chapters set a relaxed pace, introducing a group of supportive friends and hinting at the past relationship between the main characters. The variety show concept, which could have easily felt contrived, was presented in a way that felt surprisingly organic.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its portrayal of relationships. The friendship between the group members is a highlight, preventing the central romance from becoming overly saccharine. I particularly appreciated that the story explores not only the rekindling of a past love, but also the characters' personal growth and their relationship with their fans. The novel seems to shine in its depiction of love in its many forms – between lovers, friends, family, and even those working behind the scenes. It seems to offer a grounded take on mature love, where characters communicate and work through their issues, making their journey feel believable.
Areas of Concern
While the "no big conflict" aspect is praised by some, I can see how it might leave others wanting more. The absence of a truly developed antagonist could make the story feel a little too smooth for some readers. Also, the initial reliance on a reality show to rekindle the romance might not sit well with everyone.
Final Verdict
Overall, "The Outdated Boy Group Became Popular" is a charming and heartwarming read. If you're looking for a low-angst, slice-of-life romance with a focus on friendship and mature relationships, this might be the perfect novel for you. While it may not be packed with high drama or complex plot twists, its strength lies in its genuine characters and its gentle exploration of love and second chances. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're in the mood for something sweet and comforting.
