Watched episode 1 last night - then found out that Netflix dropped all episodes! I enjoyed what I have seen so far and plan on watching more episodes in between the celebrations.

I will simply ask a question: Will eight episodes be enough.

All this time I thought The Fabulous was gonna be a MOVIE. LOL! And now that NF has dropped 8 episodes it makes me wonder if that’s the complete series or i’d have to wait 16 years for part 2?

We have now watched the first 4 episodes. The first episode was a bit confusing but eventually things were better sorted out.

Ep 1 was decent with likeable characters, but I am interested in knowing more about the model. I will continue watching it since it gives off a "holiday-movies" vibes without any heavy stuff, but I have got to admit that I was teeny bit scared that a murder would take place when the lights went out in the middle of a fashion show😅😅 Guess my brain is traumatized from watching too many K-rom-coms with mystery incorporated in them.

I waited so long for this and I am happy to report it has delivered the drama I was expecting. There were NO ridiculous genres mixed in; instead it was The Fab Four supporting each other throughout. We saw the issues that arise in each of their fields and met some interesting characters along the way. It didn’t have any deep messages but we saw the realities of adult dating, long term friendships and people who worked hard and played hard. It also serves as an example that dramas can be slice of life without adding tragedy and petty jealousies.

I think it is a great drama for this time of year.

I'm watching episode 4 now and is still struggling to find Joseph interesting. Maybe because I expected a flamboyant, colourful and funny character. I like the story though.

Refering Joseph: I was pretty sure ‘bosh’ is a non-existent word but i guess Netflix is smarter than me!

I found this drama pretty superficial : the characters, their evolution, their job's picture, the love story... The acting wasn't the best. But it was entertaining.

For me it was one of the most unbecoming shows, as Netflix Originals often are.

Selling promiscuity as glamorous and trendy managed to make me dislike CSB (and she was one of my favorite actresses).

These kind of shows are the reason why I gave up western shows. Dropped out with no regrets after 30 minutes. What they sell to us as feminism is nothing but the degradation of women.

This is a Trashy and Not Fabulous Show, and every single character relationship, but especially the romantic ones, is written by someone with a very strange (that’s a euphemism) understanding of relationships. At least once, at some point in time, throughout this show, almost every single character exhibits themselves to be a shitty person, and any change otherwise, is extremely unconvincing because the character writing, what little of it actually exists, is all over the place, and weaker than my mother's tea.

Chae Soo Bin, hunny, you were trying so hard, and you made your character watchable at least, but I have little else to say, because in the hands of many other people, she would've been as annoying as just about everybody else in this show.

Minho has like two facial expressions and his mainstream attraction and appeal was not enough to endear him to me over this, because he's not my type, or style, of handsome, at all. (I'm sure he's lovely in person but ...)

Every character they tried to endear to me otherwise, instead grated on my nerves so much I wanted to shed my skin like a lizard.
Every time they could've criticised consumerism, the fashion industry or influencer marketing (Seo Hye Won is a wonderful actress, which is well demonstrated by the fact that she did an excellent job embodying everything I hate about Instagram), and indeed, should’ve, they instead would switch to glamorising it in some way, or throwing in yet another EDM party droning that looked neither fun, nor interesting, nor appealing, in any way at all.

Their attempts at trying to have any kind of central theme or anything decent fuelling the whole affair were shallow or cheap, and poorly written, at best, and had quite the negative effect to what I think they intended, at worst.
I think the only characters I didn't consistently hate, where Esther and The Editor Lady, Ms. Ahn.

All I can say is, I'm very thankful they got an *actual* supermodel to play the supermodel, because nobody else could've pulled off those walks, or those clothes, and that there wasn't a single mention of Tik Tok (because I probably would've turned it off immediately if there were.)

A vacant and vapid drama.

I enjoy kdramas but this one, less than others. I didn't find any of the couples really engaging. Some crazy over-the-top acting. Maybe it was the genre - fashion industry but the creative ones seemed like caricatures. The only people I enjoyed when they were on scene were Esther and Seon-ho. Ji-seon was pretty good as a professional suck-up. I'm thinking hard here but can't think of one of the men that I liked.

In fact, I even disliked Do-Young. Very annoying and he definitely will drag his girlfriend down if she keeps hanging with him. His black and white leather jacket was kind of interesting.

I have a list of kdramas I will see a second time and this one did not make the cut.
