The Fabulous

When a Korean drama aspire to become American-Koran fusion drama = not good.

The actors played very well even though the writing was basic.

If you already watched American drama's before in your life, you've already seen this plot. Nothing new.

Wasn't boring, but definitely basic and predictable. Like many many others American series.

Even though the production was extremely good and wealthy, Netflix failed at the end.

In my opinion, when I want to see Korean drama, I don't want to see American basic one. K-drama is so different, unique, with romance and great characters, If I wanted to watch this kind of plot, I would choose "The bold type".

This show has lots of potential. The casting and acting are both great. I also really liked the pacing, it wasn't too slow. The concept of this series is also something really interesting. Watching this show was quite relaxing, it was nice seeing something new and fresh for the first time in a while. I did also like the chemistry and the friendship between the characters.

Even though the concept itself is interesting, the plot is weak in my opinion. I was relaxed while watching this, but I was left wanting more excitement. Something that would have really pulled me in. For me, that spark was just missing.

The story centres around four friends who work in the fashion industry and have supported each other over the years. It is a well acted upbeat story which is why I marked it a seven but the plot is a little weak and predictable. The nicest character in the whole series was the chaebol who was cheated on by one of the group yet still supported her in her endeavours. If you want a lighthearted upbeat story of four friends who are all successful then it is worth a watch as it only lasts eight episodes and some of them are amusing. The highlight of the series for me is Chae Soo-bin as even though I was not a fan of her character she lights up the screen in every take.

Its really a fun drama to binge. Something light hearted, great to relax while watching after work. It focuses on four individual young professionals facing problems in their personal and professional life. It is extremely relatable with all the curve balls life throw at them unexpectedly.

The romantic sub plots were also very sweet and heart warming but more realistic than regular kdramas. I also like that one of the main characters is LQBTQ+.

The only thing I wish they had improved on was reducing the number of side characters. Main characters were great and I wish they were the only focus of the show.

This is easy-mode version of a Kdrama. Nothing too sophisticated nor tense. Just a gentle view thru the eyes of 4 friends since college: one a Super Model, one a rising designer, one a photographer and one working for a luxury fashion PR firm.

I had issues with the first half of the series...it wasn't bad just not very engaging. It just plodded along with the lives of these 4 friends. The romance threads were minimal, there was no mystery to solve or suspense thread being developed...just the lives of the main characters.

But finally, ep 4 introduces a new character that seems to kick start the series. Various interesting storylines are kicked off and the character development finally shifts out of neutral.... I could finally start caring about the main characters.

One thing I really liked about the series was that it was not filled with toxic side-characters. While there were certainly a few self-absorbed characters to dislike, most of the characters in power positions were actually decent people that would recognize talent and provide opportunities for newcomers to demonstrate what they could do.

Makes a decent palate cleanse between more sophisticated or intense Kdramas.
