Go for it

It's a nice drama with motivation to never give up. Actors are nice. Story is nice. Bg music is nice. I watched it in one go. Minho is my favourite he did his best. We all want a woomin in our life to be honest. They portrayed lgbtq community very well too. One should watch it one time atleast. It is nice........................................................................................

a fun and light watch

I loved this drama and i've watched it thrice now. It's a fun and easy watch, with no unnecessary dramas, dramatic plot twists, and extra cliffhangers. It's a story about four friends finding their way into the fashion world. you'd think that this won't be relatable since they are working in such a glamorous environment but surprising this is not the case. If anything, the friendship among the four main characters is so relatable. I bet you can all identify to one of the four characters! I especially love how they all stick to one another despite everything that is happening in their personal lives. There are no traitors among friends here ! they are the loudest, funnest and coolest squad ive seen so far in a kdrama! The fashion shows in this series are also beautiful and so if you are in to fashion that will certainly be fun! Over all I love this drama...which is not a drama at all...just a fun light cute funny and romantic show! and oh..steamy scenes ahead between Minho and Soobin's character! hahahhaha

Loved it!

I loved this drama! I loved the storyline of the fashion industry as well as the core of the four friends that are the heart of this series! It showed the evolution of the friends from dreamers to people who are at the top of their professions. I loved each of the characters and all that they went through individually and together. This was a real delight to watch! I tend not to rewatch dramas, so that is why that category wasn't higher, but it was enjoyable enough that I could do so. I am really glad I watched this! It was uplifting!

Eye rollingly bad!!

This is absolutley, one of the worst if not the worst Kdrama's I have ever watched. The FL Ji Eun unlikeable and rude. The Joseph character behaved like an insolent 5 year old the entire series. The Shim Do Young character is completely unnecessary. Everything about the character is so random and nonsensical. I have never watched a show where the majority of the mains are unlikeable. The main characters are the most vapid 30 somethings that I have seen in a long time and maybe that was the point but there was no character development for anyone except Ye Seon Ho and barely.

I started watching b/c of Minho and he's so bland and boring here. Also, something about his makeup was off putting. I actually would have preferred the FL staying with her boyfriend from the begining of the series even though she ********SPOILER ALERT***** (it's not really important to the story though) cheated on him.

This was 8 epsiodes that I thought would be a fun and cute binge watch but it was so disappointing!

Instant chemistry!

It is an absolutely enjoyable show. The chemistry between the main cast is the highlight. The conflicts of all those involved become relevant and the relevant time is dedicated to their development, so that nothing feels inorganic or forced. There is no unnecessary drama that weighs down the atmosphere, the conflicts are believable and not exaggerated. If you are looking for an entertaining show, with emotional performances and endearing characters with a lot of chemistry between them THIS IS YOUR SHOW.

A calm in the storm

With the back to back release of drams with heavy topics the fabulous felt like a breathe of fresh air. The story line is so simple and cute. It emphasis on friendship, romance and career. The actors don't seem like they are acting instead everything fitted and came in together so naturally. The whole group's friendship felt so authentic. It was so nice to see Minho in a matured relationship with actual intimacy. He have acted out the role so well. Soobin is definitely the show stealer. I fell in love with her after watching the drama. Would 100% recommend this if you want to watch anything warm and comforting.

a drama that relaxes you and will show you the importance of friends

the drama is more about daily life and how you struggle with all obstacles you encounter every day, woomin and jieun show how despite everything you can start over and have a stronger relationship despite everything.
I think the environment of fashion industry is a little unknown to many people but this drama shows to you, I loved that they mention that fashion seeks sustainability with the environment (I love that part!!!!)
In this drama you will find romance, laughter, and there are scenes that are very tender between the main actors (they make you say God when can I get a romance like this).
I loved actors work , you can feel their feelings!!! they did a good job.
It will definitely go on my list of : you can watch this drama again because it will heal your heart

Glamorous but not all Fabulous

I’ve been waiting for this drama for a while. I’m a huge Shawol as they are my ult and Choi Minho is a part of it. He’s such a charming guy on and off screen, and I am supporting his works where ever they are. All the content with him in it I will devour, he deserves that from me. For this drama I want it to be a 10/10 but it’s not. Still it’s not as bad as people are saying it is. People all have their different tastes but to rate a drama you have to think about what it is trying to do over what you want it to be.

This drama is about the fashion industry and right away is is very glamorous and pretty to look at. All the sets shine and there is not a bad angle for anyone in this show. If you want a gritty melodrama you will not find that here. At the beginning you know what you are getting into with the relationship drama, and if you don’t like that then don’t watch it. Personally I’m not a fan of that, but I’m rating based off what this drama accomplishes for itself. It tells the story of adults in the fashion industry and goes over their relationship issues- it’s not trying to be super dark or tell a big story. People being upset about the ‘slow’ or boring natures of the show just need to stay away from these dramas as a whole. It’s a slice of life type show without too much of an overarching plot unless you see it within the relationships of the characters.

The acting is good for who the characters are. Chae Soobin is given a character who is very ambitious but makes a lot of mistakes. She is too ambitious and chaotic for her own good at times. With that character she acts the role of Ji Eun very well. I don’t necessarily like her character too much, I don’t even like Minho’s character too much. Not all dramas are going to be about perfect people, they were an old fling and have a lot of chemistry. Minho’s character Woomin is charming for some of it, but he still is possessive for others. He’s not the total green flag that I really want Choi Minho to play. But he is Woomin, and he really sells that because I get disappointed in him even though his face is Choi Minho’s.

I am surprised no one is talking about the things this drama is showing that are very good for Korea. It has a successful gay male lead who isn’t a stereotype, he’s got talent and he isn’t looked down upon for his sexuality. It barely is brought up, he is an actual character other than a prop.

The OST’s are there. Especially at the end of the first episode. I really like the ending of each episode as they aren’t too much of a cliffhanger. You can binge this show easily as it stops the story and sets it up in the next episode, with that being said you can watch this any time without bingeing also.

I really don’t understand the whole acting complaints people have. It’s the characters you don’t like- not the acting. My favorite character is the supermodel Seonho. I can put past aside my major bias for Minho and realize he’s not perfect. I do like flawed characters because they are more human, the same with this drama. It’s not perfect- the only perfect drama I’ve seen is the Untamed- and that’s because I look past its flaws because I just love it so much. I can see all the flaws with this show but that doesn’t make me write it off as being unwatchable. This show is very watchable; it’s not very long, it’s not offensive, it’s got Choi Minho, and it’s pretty fabulous to look at. Not a 10/10, but it’s a good watch if you want a fashion drama, a young adult drama, a drama that’s not too dramatic.

I have always loved fashion but I lost my passion in it, this drama brought back my love for fashion. The chemistry with the whole cast was great and I loved the friendship storyline and ended up loving each character! It reminded me of my friends and I, I love dramas where I can relate to and this was one of those dramas! I really enjoyed the main couples storyline and enjoyed their chemistry! There's a word in Filipino "kilig" and that's what I felt while watching them, I don't know how to express it in English but that word perfectly describes it. Watching the drama made me feel happy and I smiled a lot while watching most of it and I truly enjoyed it! I've been watching a lot of dramas but it's been awhile since I watched a feel good, fun drama and this is exactly what it is and what I needed! Ps I watched this drama right after finishing reborn rich and it was perfect for after that drama, it was light and fun!

A refreshing series!

At first, I was worried cause I'm really not into fashion drama and also I have no knowledge about their line of work so I thought it's going to be a boring series for me, but I ended up loving it more than I expected! The runway shows/production was sooo cool. I love that every character have their own development, even the side characters' dynamics was so good and funny. It's not dragging and it's also not too much. They really fit in everything so well, like love, career, and friendship.

Minho and Soobin's acting are so natural. Really proud of Minho and truly one of his best works. Also, impressed with Soobin's acting. She's so cool. Will definitely watch it again!

Park Heejung is so cool, I want to marry her.

I LOVED ITTTTTTTTTT!!!!

Ending an entire drama in one sitting doesnt happen much to me, canceling watching after the first episode was what I got used to do easily, so I know that when a drama draws me to watch it without stopping until the end, it deserves 10/10,, away from my point of view in some of the ideas or values that were presented about friendships and relationships but the production and performance was more than wonderful, Minho acting was so natural and nice, soobin as usual just amazing both were a cleansing for eyes ? the environment of fashion industry was so attractive to me ,they worked really good in showing everything professionally, the osts alone are 100/10 ,, the plot was light i really enjoyed it and of course will rewatch and highly recommend it ?

Let's make it simple, this drama held my attention for 8 hours!

The cast is really great, I love the chemistry between the different characters, the way they complement each other perfectly, etc. (no, but for real, I want a group of friends like this).

I really liked the plot, the fashion industry from different points of view : stylist, freelance retoucher, manager of a luxury brand and model. The final was so beautiful, bravo Joseph !! ~

It's a sweet and comforting drama ♡
