Fabulous 30 (2014)

Story: Basically a story about three best friends who are around 30 years old, each with their own stories revolving around 'love'.

Acting/Cast: Was not a fan of particularly anyone in this, but now I absolutely loved the cast of this drama! It was perfect! I loved how natural everyone's acting is! It was brilliant! Now for the pairings, I know alot of people liked Danson and Albee the most, but for me I preferred Darren and Vivi. I loved the development of their relationship - it was so natural and something I really admire. Darren really stood out for me in this! I absolutely adored his goofy role and loved the way his character grew as the story progressed.

Music: "Love You... Love You... Love Yoouu.." That's all I remember.. XD I noticed these long dramas never really seem to have any songs that stick to me. I guess since they're long and quite low budget, they don't really concern themselves with the songs too much?

Rewatch Value: Although this drama was very enjoyable, I probably wouldn't want to watch it again. I loved the overall story and development and wish that it could continue. I would totally continue watching more of it.

Overall: This was a great family drama filled with lots of friendship and love. I loved the pacing of the drama and how each characters stories compliments each other and the overall drama itself. I loved how natural everyone was which made the watching experience all the better.

Super light drama. The story is cute for the most part. It focuses on the friendship between 3 woman, and their each individual relationships. There's also a family aspect for each of the characters. Because it's a 76 episode drama, the plots move relatively slow, the dialogues are longer than usual, and the diary recap scene done by Vivi's character at the end of each drama is a bit tedious. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this drama very much for a long length drama mainly because the friendship/family part was very heartwarming. There were also many lessons incorporated in this drama and in each episode.

Of course, Danson was phenomenal in this drama; he has now become one of my biases. His relationship with Albee's character was adorable and I liked their romance. Darren being dorky was a completely different character for him; I was blown away at how realistic he made his character out to be. His romance with Vivi was pretty boring, but their friendship was fantastic and well developed. Jennifer Hong's crying scenes were really well done and I liked her strong+independent woman character.

The music was pretty repetitive, but I noticed there was like a 'theme' song for each couple when their individual romantic scene came on. I thought that was pretty cute; I personally liked the songs a lot.

The rewatch value is low because 76 episodes is really long, but I would rewatch some of the creative romantic scenes that I liked. I would recommend this drama for those of you that want to watch a longer story yet is still entertaining. I recommend this drama; it is definitely one of the better long length t-dramas out there! (read my other review; i think this drama is slightly better!) (The 8.5 rating is for its quality BASED on the fact it is a long length drama; if I was rating in comparison to all dramas then it is probably an 8) (9/8)
