Disappointed
I was waiting for this drama to come out but it was a totally disappointed. The acting was good (i just watched 4 episodes, I can't continue) but the story is so lame, boring and predictable. There's no really character development, they center a lot of things in Choi Minho just being handsome. I was actually very sad because I was very excited to see Choi Minho but... it was bad (he acts well, the problem is the story itself). I dropped this serie in chapter number 4. If you ask my opinion I totally don't recommend this drama is a waste of time.Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
It won't change your life
It took me 3 hours to finish episode one, and I get what people are saying. I had a feeling this wouldn't be good since Netlifx postponed the premiere a few times, so my expectations were low and I wasn't disappointed exactly. Also I'm a big fan of both Minho and Soobin, so...The story is goofy and so are the leads. It reminds me a bit of Record of Youth (which I dropped), and it is very Netflix-esque. It doesn't feel like you're watching a korean production, and that wouldn't bother me if the plot were good. It's just young people living through the fashion world. They talk about exes, drinking and sex. Not in a Lovestruck in the City way (VERY underrated drama), but more like "they gonna be posting clips of this on tiktok" way.
You can watch it quickly (specially dubbed) while doing your chores, like me. You can also skip lots of parts. It won't hurt that much, but it won't change your life either. Minho looks so handsome and Soobin is always good, assuming the character is supposed to be the way she's portraying it.
Will I keep watching? No. There are way too good dramas on my plan to watch list. I'm sorry, Minho.

Need a fabulous experience watch The fabulous.
Really mind-blowing SHINee and actor MINHO is very handsome, sexy, even sometimes I forgot to read the subtitles by watching his face.I need to watch it two or more times to understand what is going on.Minho is so distracting.Coming to the drama their chemistry is mind blowing.I love the friends circle.Fashions is good liked costume.Liked their friendship..I think it's a good start for first episode ...but really MINHO is very distracting... I need to watch it again I can re-watch it again and again. Really a good drama, light hearted MINHO as an x bf is really what I wanted he is fabulous...Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
The Fabulous Review by Kdramas with Miss Critic
It's a battle for survival in this behind-the-scenes look at Korea's glamorous but not always glitzy fashion industry. It shows the harsh reality of its competitive nature and those who choose to walk its path. Facing this struggle are our four main protagonists, who find support in each other: publicist Pyo Ji Eun, freelance photo retoucher Ji Woo-min, designer Joseph, and senior model Yeo Seon Ho.Episode 1 opens with a bit of a whirlwind introduction to the fashion, glitz, and glamour we’ll be seeing over the course of the next 7 episodes. Starting the show with a fantabulous bang is a runway show led by renowned designer Joseph (Lee Sang-won) and supermodel Ye Seon Ho. Right from the start, we see the ups and downs of fashion and the types of people within it that we’ll deal with throughout the story.
To be honest, I wasn’t all that interested in the show besides the fact that Choi Minho was starring in it. It had that glamorous and glitzy look to it that I enjoy in dramas, but I wasn’t sure if the premise would hold up for an entire season. It's been done before here and there, so it would be hard to find a unique space for it. The characters, on the other hand, are what hold the show together and make it enjoyable. It has an enjoyable cast, all with distinctly different personalities that mesh well together. All of them have their own interesting side plots that they’re dealing with and sharing with one another. The romance happens to be my favorite part of it. Ji Eun and Woo Min's relationship, in particular, is toeing the line between friendship and something more.
Watch or skip?
I recommend watching it, but I wouldn’t consider it a must-see. It’s not the most deep or groundbreaking show about this sort of subject. However, it's certainly an entertaining watch for the Christmas break. I see myself continuing on and watching it, though it won’t be a binge.
Happy Holidays!
