The Fabulous: Simple yet Over-Hyped. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed the Fabulous until it ended but only because I enjoyed seeing Chae Soo-bin and Choi Minho on a screen together. It felt like a sensory overload seeing them on one screen and as “exes”.

I’m going to be COMPLETELY HONEST. The plot of the Fabulous was more about the sexual tension between the leads than the struggles of the fashion world. Even though it was short, I skipped most of the scenes without Chae Soo-bin and Choi Minho together. Other than the scenes where Joseph and Esther were together, everything else was completely skip worthy. I would honestly just watch again for the chemistry between the leads and the pure visual of the two. I honestly wouldn’t have watched if it was anyone but these two.

The cinematography was good, the execution was good and so was the acting/casting but I genuinely think the thing that killed made the Fabulous unfabulous was the pure fact that there was no actual content. The plot was empty and there really wasn’t much going on anytime. So much time went toward the FL’s relationship status and the frustrations and her suitors and less time went into the point that the Fabulous was TRYING to preach.

If the Fabulous had spent more time on the struggles of the fashion industry instead of focusing on the romance, this drama would have been a sure fire hit. Sadly, it was missed and opportunity and misplaced potential because whoever wrote the script and the drama itself missed the mark on what points to hit the hardest and what points to keep minimal.

Again, not a horrible watch but if you want to watch this drama without hurting your expectations, just pretend thst this drama is about the leads trying to get together. That’s quite literally what it is.
