Celebrity

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.

Overall, Celebrity is typical in its format. We have the world of the rich which is filled to the brim with individuals who will stop at nothing to get their way, and then we have the main character who is different from the rest - determined to hold on to her morals and shield herself from the evil that awaits her.

If you're looking for a light thriller without much depth, then this is the show for you. It doesn't require you to think - instead, it allows you to sit back and watch events unfold as characters descend further into madness and others take advantage of that, securing their places on top.

Prepare to be swept away by the heart-stirring and eye-opening drama that will leave you yearning for more! This captivating story shatters the stereotype of celebrity life with every suspenseful mystery and plot twist that unfolds in each episode. As the intricate plot thickens, the gripping drama will keep you on the edge of your seat, intellectually stimulated and captivated with every scene. The powerhouse performances delivered by the cast will leave you breathless, while the costumes, realistic sets, and every detail of the production design are perfectly crafted, creating a true masterpiece of visual storytelling. This drama is a work of art that will leave you mesmerized, and it's not to be missed.

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.

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.
