* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: To promote "PINGPONG GAME", Yukika and Yeeun dyed the tips of their hair blue. Jeewon also dyed her hair pink.

* CondescendingCompassion: In an intentional case of this trope, Chae brags that she gave a vote to the Debut team in their first performance because Suji outshone them all.

''IDOLM@STER.KR'' (known as ''[[MarketBasedTitle Idolm@ster KR Dream]]'' [[MarketBasedTitle in South Korea]]) is a 2017 live-action television series based on VideoGame/TheIdolmaster franchise. It's a [[InternationalCoproduction joint Japanese-South Korean production]] under the auspices of Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment and Interactive Media Mix, Inc. It aired 24 episodes, with the first episode airing on SBS in South Korea via SBS Plus, SBS funE, and SBS MTV on April 28, 2017 and ended on October 6, 2017. Amazon aired it overseas via Creator/PrimeVideo, depending if said country/territory has access to the service or not.

* PlayingAgainstType: In Universe, Suji and Yeeun are depicted as being rather bad at dancing during the audition phase of the drama. They are actually well coordinated in Real Girls Project's performances.

** Taeri, unfortunately, gets the short end of the stick. Where most ''[=iM@S=]'' properties would have TheLoad of the team be encouraged to pick up the slack (which the idol will always inevitably do), Taeri on the other hand can't handle it [[spoiler:and straight up leaves the team]].

* [[invoked]]JustHereForGodzilla: The only reason the Real Girls Project drums up any excitement at all is because of Suji, due to her being Suah's identical sister. Notice how nearly all of the comments during the teams' first broadcast performances are directed at wanting to see Suji, and ''just'' Suji. This is why Kang advises them all to work harder and get better at their idol activities; since everyone is looking at Suji superficially, they need to prove that they have talent worth looking at as well.

* MultinationalTeam: The 825 Entertainment idols are mostly Koreans. Yukika is from Japan and Mint is from Thailand.

The show takes place in South Korea where a tragic accident occurs after Suah Lee, the well-known leader of a GirlGroup named Red Queen, dies from major injuries sustained in a car crash. This devastates RQ that they decide to take a break from the industry while her manager, Kang Shin-hyuk, decides to resign [[HeroWithBadPublicity after the media accused him of being indirectly responsible for her death due to rumors that they were last seen fighting publicly in a hotel.]] Meanwhile, a strange person named Shim Min-chul saves Pure Entertainment from bankruptcy after the CEO was forced to go hide due to debt.

* DistractedByTheSexy: In an unusual twist for the franchise, the Producer is clearly depicted as eye candy to the idols. Every girl gets a reaction shot to the Producer's toned body when he is introduced and during their work out sessions.

* AsHimself: All of the Real Girls Project are their actors. The only exception to the rule is Shin-hyuk (played by Sung Hoon) and Shim Min-chul (played by Park Chul-min).

* TranslatedCoverVersion: "THE [=IDOLM@STER=]", "The world is all one!" "READY!" and "Ai MUST GO!" were translated into Korean for this series.

* HarshWordImpact: Poor Yeeun is unintentionally bombarded with Yukika, Jane, and Taeri's elation at rooming together and knowing each other (when Yeeun herself is truly the odd man out, since she just met them and is part of the opposing team).

* TheRival: Red Queen serves as this to all of the 825 girls. Debut Team and the Rookie Team were pitted against each other as well for the first six months.

** Hyejong Seo told Suji that Suah was in the W Hotel to see a man in a room with Shin-hyuk.

* ArcSymbol: Suji has a motif of balloons throughout the story, representing her father and childhood.

* BeardOfSorrow: Shin-hyuk grows one following Suah's death, and shaves it after he's been given his Producer role for 825.
* BerserkButton: Mint accidentally pushes one for Jiseul for telling her to skip "a few shifts" since she keeps missing practice. Jiseul is ''furious'', since those jobs she works are the only thing she can do to keep supporting her siblings, and its not like she wanted to be in that position either.

* DontThinkFeel: The way Suji performs operates on this. Despite her apparent lack of dancing skill, she just needs to get into the music to perform well.

* HarshWordImpact: Poor Yeeun is unintentionally bombarded with Yukika, Jane, and Taeri's elation at rooming together and knowing each other (when Yeeun herself is truly the odd man out, since she just met them and is part of the opposing team).

* MyGreatestFailure: Shin-hyuk's major upset was the circumstances that led to Suah's death. He was shunned by all her fans and the public and blamed for her accident, going into hiding for a year. He gets his [[MyGreatestSecondChance second chance]] by producing the Real Girls Project.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: The series starts with Suah's car accident, making the need to fill in another spot for Red Queen.

* ReplacementGoldfish: It's hard not to think that part of the reason why Suji was picked was because of her physical similarities to Suah. The guest judges in Episode 3 even accuse the Producer of doing this when she was brought up.

* LongLostRelatives: The first episode ends with Shin-hyuk meeting Suah's twin sister, Suji, at the memorial.

* AsHimself: All of the Real Girls Project are their actors. The only exception to the rule is Shin-hyuk (played by Sung Hoon).

** Jiseul, being the token poor character, cannot actively balance her life between her family-supporting jobs and her idol work, unlike other similar characters who'd fallen on hard times. It gets so bad that she sleeps through practice and is constantly at odds with the token rich person because or her vastly different lifestyle and outlook on life.
