Celebrity

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.

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 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!

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.
