The Fabulous

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.

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.

This show has lots of potential. The casting and acting are both great. I also really liked the pacing, it wasn't too slow. The concept of this series is also something really interesting. Watching this show was quite relaxing, it was nice seeing something new and fresh for the first time in a while. I did also like the chemistry and the friendship between the characters.

Even though the concept itself is interesting, the plot is weak in my opinion. I was relaxed while watching this, but I was left wanting more excitement. Something that would have really pulled me in. For me, that spark was just missing.

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.

I loved this show for the same reason that I loved Hospital Playlist. It's so real without it being over dramatic with villains and bunch of unnecessary obstacles for the hero and heroine. It does justice for showing the unseen hard work behind the fashion industry not just the model or the fashion designer. The duration of 8 episodes are perfect for the plot and the characteristics being shown. It's a relaxing show, where you can just enjoy the characters, acting and the vibe of the plot. No intense emotions or criticality. The good thing is every character was given their own important screen time without being overshadowed by a particular "hero" or "heroine". It was just like what happens in real life. Happy ending for some, not so happy ending for some, beginning of new journey for some and uncertainties in life for some.
