La vida fabulosa

I think this was good and entertaining. I am a super fan of kdrama and how unique they portray romantic relationships and how they have a big taboo with intimacy and sex BUT we all know how unrealistic and false that is and that's not how real life its.

I liked this drama actually showing the struggle of real people with real problems. People are passionate, have relationships and they are confused a lot when it comes to love. You won't find here the overused kdrama plots of "only one love for life", or "i am 30 but i have never kissed someone", which are just unrealistic clichés.

I have seen that this drama is not getting high ratings from asian viewers because of the more conservative mindset and taboos, but I think they would need to understand casual relationships, cheating and sex happens everywhere all the time, is just that some cultures hide it and shame it and others are more open about it. I prefer the later so I love this kind of shows.

The only downside for me is the main couple plot was a bit weak sometimes, I think it had more potential and they could have dig deeper into their backstory. But overall good chemistry. Minho is not what you could say is a great actor but for this short drama he did good ( and he is just such an eye candy .....)

Watch it this Christmas for something light to enjoy!

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".

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.

Could be the name of this lil' K-Drama 8 episode series. It's very similar to, "Emily in Paris", with Chae Soo-bin playing the lead character. It's the reason we watched this series after seeing her in, "Where Stars Land", a highly recommended series and plays a similar character. Surprised it was only 8 episodes, thought it could have gone on for the usual 16 episodes, especially with 4 main characters, it could have explored their backgrounds in much more detail, but it revolved mainly around Chae Soon-bin character, who has the customary more than one suitor, trying to juggle her work life with her love lives and they intertwined on a regular basis.

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.
