About @GinaYei

Love the “Follow your Passion” theme of the show. Most of the girls are are presented as self-reliant! It is set in Puerto Rico where it’s 80 degrees in the winter. Why are so many teens wearing ski knit hats???? Whether you clique w/ the “popular kids, everyone is in a clique. Lots of bright bubble gum pinks & candy colors in the clothes, the background everywhere; seems to go with the fact that we Latinos(as) come in all skin tones & with brown, blue, & green eyes! Love the positive representation of both this beautiful island and our culture. Great music! Each musical sketch had me up dancing - my waist hurts!

What's the Story?

GINA YEI (Didi Romero) has done it. She's won a scholarship to Instituto Musical del Caribe, a school that will jumpstart her songwriting career. She packs her bags, can-do attitude, and growing Instagram followers, and makes her way to start her journey. But the moment Gina steps on campus, she gains enemies, as well as friends, admirers, and mentors. Can Gina keep up her positive attitude and her musical gifts throughout the chaos, mystery, and confusion of this next step?

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (1 ):
Kids say (1 ):

It's impossible not to crack a smile at least once throughout this fast-paced, upbeat show. Gina Yei is an incredibly peppy series threaded with positive messages and talk about self-love. The witty, quick dialogue is often comedic. There's no shortage of musical numbers and dance breaks, so younger viewers into music/dance would enjoy this.
