Celebridad

This was a little confusing throughout the series; first all the influencers were introduced with their husbands and other relations and they were a challenge to sort out, then later the issue of whether the FL is dead or alive - I mean why would she be doubted despite the live streaming, when she is showing up at events all the time? Then later the ending is a little confusing as well with the guy featured at the end. Nevertheless it was entertaining to watch and the ML Kang Min-hyuk was excellent in his role, and kept his coolness throughout - and easy on the eyes for sure. The FL. Park Gyu-young was a great match for him and she also played her role well of the influencer climbing to the top and seeking revenge at the same time turning into the type of person she dislikes by using others. I would have liked to see a little more romance between the ML and FL though.

Celebrity

This South Korean series delves into the world of the rich and the things they do to hold onto the wealth and prestige they have.

Celebrity starts strong, but by the last episodes plot holes become apparent and it begins to lose its steam. The side plots were mostly unnecessary, and it would have been better if the plot stuck to the celebrity world it began with.

The acting is mostly good save for the characters that express themselves by screaming and yelling. The romance between the lead and her partner was contrived.

The cinematography is rich, and the soundtrack is enjoyable.

6/10.

From the moment I started the first episode I was so captivated and could not stop watching. It was so entertaining watching the secrets and plot twist unfold. This has got to be one of the best K-dramas I've seen in a while! The storyline is different from the typical dramas on Netflix, so it was a breath of fresh air which I very much enjoyed. There was a lack of romance in the show, but it probably wouldn't have fit as the main character was constantly portrayed as a cold person. However, I do wish the main actress had more chemistry or development in her relationship. I'm so surprised the show doesn't have a higher rating, but hopefully with time it will change. I can't wait to see what else the writers and director comes out with next!

This was nothing like I expected! It was about 10 times better than I could have expected! I was hooked halfway through the first episode and almost watched the entire season back to back which I've never done before! The characters were all great and actors all did a fantastic job and even though I watched it dubbed with the subtitles!

The main character did a really good job with the script and her "Leading ladies were fantastic!" They really showed how much social media can take over a person's life and how easily you can lose it all with just a click of a mouse button! What I didn't expect and really loved, was how they showed how they used their friends and people around them to get more likes which equals more followers which equals more money! I have always wondered how people make money off of social media and now I know how!

I was also afraid that it would be too "young" and more childish but it was just perfect. You could enjoyed this at pretty much any age!

If you've ever wanted to see how crazy it is behind the scenes of social media but with a mysterious and one of a kind twist that you know is coming but literally comes out of nowhere, then you need to watch this!

I actually enjoyed this one.

Started stronger that it ended but still was very good.

I think the craziness of the social media bullying and how fast opinions of people and fandom changes in korea only makes sense if you actually follow a bit of that world. If you haven't experienced how toxic those fanatics are, you will think this series is just exaggerating a lot, but trust me it isn't. In korea fandoms have ended whole careers just because their favorite idol have started a relationship with someone they didn't like or they have had rumors or bullying someone in school, it's a CRAZY conservative Society, and they act like mobs on social media.

So basically this super thrilling and fast paced drama depicts exactly this social media world in korea, where your can have everything given to you, or taken from you immediately, because unfortunately in these societies it doesn't really matter how talented you are, its all about how much you are liked.

I love the female lead, she has such feisty personality, she is so smart and she won't ever compromise her values. I also love her as actress, I absolutely love all her dramas, ( cant wait for sweet home 2!) and the tension and crazy electrifying attraction she has with the male lead in this drama is just ridiculous, without even speaking. Love them!!

I won't give it a 10 because towards the end they did a couple on nonsensical things that were a bit dumb with the mum and the best friend, I think it could have been a more polished and smart turn in that sense.
