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.

Park Guy-young plays Seo A-ri who's once rich family fell on hard times and she now earns a frugal living selling cosmetics door to door. Through circumstances she has the opportunity to become an online influencer, but she soon finds the world of influencers is full of jealousy and betrayal. It starts relatively slow and for the first few episodes we learn a little about the other e celebs and what a nasty backstabbing bunch they are. Then the story picks up with twists and turns and interesting observations about the fickleness of fame and how cruel and thoughtless internet trolls can be. Solid performances from the whole cast, especially the lead and observations which make you think about the nature of fame.

This show was very different from what I was expecting, but still, pretty intresting and entertaining. The story is a bit confusing at the beginning, mainky because the story isn't told in cronological order but it kept me intrested enough to watch the whole show. I feel like last episode was a little bit rushed.. like not all of the reveals and twists were set up properly and it seemed like it was going a lot faster than the rest of the show... especially the identity of "bbbfamous", seemed like she came out of nowhere, i feel like the setup could have been better. Either way I think it's a great show.

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.
