The Fabulous

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.

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.

I loved watching this drama. Acting is good from almost everyone. It has elements of great friendship, love, fashion and slice of life. No unnecessary filler episode to disappoint me . You can easily binge-watch. Personally I would love to see more. Both Woo-min and Seonho are really beautiful characters. And, both the artist did an amazing job portraying those characters. I also loved the chemistry of leads. I would definitely watch this drama again and recommend it to others. This drama is perfect for holiday season though it hasn't any holiday elements in it. Happy watching The Fabulous people.

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".

I love the camping and bathroom scenes, and when the fl kicked the ml when the four of them gather at her house. Their chemistry is top notch, so natural, and makes you want what they have. It makes you forget for a moment that you're watching a drama. And i love the male lead's changing expressions throughout the episodes. Conveying his emotions without lines. Thumbs up. I plan to watch it slowly, but ended watched all episodes all at once. And also the scenes with her grandma is lovely. Love the cinematography.

I have so many questions about the male lead's background story. How wealthy is he living in that nice apartment and having that nice red car? How he's good at DJing? I want to see him explaining some pictures with some technical words. I want to see more about his relationship with the second fl. Does Netflix keeps these for Season 2? I have to watch again for the third time.

Despite how i enjoy the friendship's story, some characters are not needed, with all due respect to the actors. (Weird waiter turned model?) Without them, the story will be more compact and focused on the main story without unnecessary distractions.

Lovely drama. A must watch for holidays and weekends.
