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

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.

(A swing and a miss)A shorter review
Story:(4.5) Yes fashion fans will have something to enjoy with this title and yes the first episode starts relatively well, but in my opinion it slowly falls off as the series progresses. This story has quite poor writing, leaving the viewer with lots of forgotten storylines and moments later on that simply don't pay off like they should because the show doesn't let the cast earn those moments in the latter half. A good example of a forgotten storyline is in the first episode, when Joseph kicks a model out, than that model then ruins the show by cutting the power. The viewer will wonder "is Josephs development going to follow the lines of learning compassion and empathy for others?", well no, its never really brought up again and he's never really portrayed as having that type of issue after the first ep, but the show never expresses that growth. Another example could be Ji Eun and Woo Min's relationship. They kind of portray Woo Min as a F boy in the beginning and never really show what's behind the scenes until Ji Eun is given his photo album of her 80% into the show. So up until that point, its hard to understand Woo Min's character or even Ji Eun for that matter. Why does she changes his mind so quickly and constantly? (Also thought it was weird and toxic how they never addressed Ji Eun cheating on her boyfriend, yet she's constantly perceived as a moral person). Last example is the perception of our main four cast members. We like them from the start because they are belittled and have a hard time from the top of fashion, but by the end they are all given tremendous opportunities without anyone really seeming like they had the backstory to earn it, other than Seon Ho. Overall this poor writing made moments feel flat and even cheesy at times when it had so much potential from the start.Characters:(6) Out of the whole cast my main favorites were Joseph, Seon Ho, and Thierry. Joseph was the most interesting from the beginning with his personality and exaggerated responses to failure, but later I felt his actions start to lose there flavor as the show progresses and things began to work out for him. Seon Ho for me was my favorite character. She's pretty low key from the beginning but has the best development by the end of the show. Also her scenes where she stands up for people who cant protect themselves(even when its self destructive) come off so wholesome and honestly were the show stealers for me. Lastly Thierry was surprisingly good. The show constantly hammers in that the bosses of fashion are ruthless and that drives a similar expectation for Thierry. But this element coupled with Thierry's extravagant outbursts make him a truly unpredictable character. By the end of the show I still couldn't predict what he would do next, He was a rare character, but surprisingly well written. Aside from those three I wasn't too impressed, Soo Bin and Min Ho acted very well but I don't think they had much to work with in creating interesting characters.
Music:(7.5) No track in this show really blew me away, but they had subtle chimes and short moments of music throughout that helped bring some vibrancy to each scene as they transitioned.
Rewatch Value:(6.5) Like I said before I'm not a big fan of the writing here, but its a short show and if you like fashion it could definitely be easy to get thorough again for some.
Overall:(6.5) The show has some moments and aspects that make it stick out from other K-dramas but I found the writing to be a big anchor waying down the potential of this series. In my opinion the series felt like it was supposed to be 16 episodes but wasn't for some reason; its a decent watch at the beginning, but its issues begin to show as you bridge to the second half. Making the ending less than satisfying.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope you found it helpful, and have a great rest of your day!!

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 ?Was this review helpful to you?
Frustrated after watching 4 episodes
The FL'story line is so confusing. Sleeping with ex bf. Then kissing ex bf still they are fnds. Using ex bf having feelings for ex bf then suddenly the guy who was testing her she start dating him. I don't think even teenagers will be this much immature. The writer was trying to portray her like someone with no true emotions and without brains.. At first it was fun then it became pathetic and slow. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????It's not at all fabulousWas this review helpful to you?
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 ♡

Addictive and Charming
A bright and realistic(but still fun!) drama! The main cast have excellent chemistry, and no one feels like they’re making any stupid decisions throughout the show, even if they’re regrettable, they make sense, and no one is unnecessarily mad at one another. There are still moments of hilarity, but it never hits the ridiculous/unwatchable level, a great balance. There’s also several instances of heartfelt gay representation, which was a pleasant surprise!A super bingeable show! Loved it!

Absolutely Fabulous!!!
Honestly, Being a shawol I started watching only for Minho but damn I loved every single character in the drama. Watched all the episodes in one ago, Minho’s acting is?, and it’s so fun to watch his character without passion while in reality he is full of passion ?. The chemistry between Minho and Soobin is ?. Also, I really loved the friendship between the four of them. It’s definitely worth the wait and I would like to recommend everyone to give it a try and enjoy the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
It was a fabulous show
I was hesitant to watch this drama at first because of the synopsis. After reading the synopsis the first thing that came to my mind was “Now we are Breaking up” which was a terrible drama to me. But after watching some clips on TikTok I decided to give it a try and to be honest I was not disappointed as the drama was exciting. The mixture of comedy, romance and drama was captivating and I wouldn’t have asked for anything more. But I still felt it was a more hip version of the Drama “now we are breaking up”. I love itWas this review helpful to you?
The Fabulous is cool
I loved it ♥️ the 8 chapters went by very quickly, I didn't even feel it, there is a story behind it and the acting of the actors was wonderful.It's interesting, it reminds you of life situations that you can go through and the difficulties, it's nice to see how a group of friends overcomes them and they themselves have dreams, aspirations, etc. This drama gives a nice message.
I loved Minho's acting, in his latest roles he shows dedication to his work and Chae Soobin always does beautiful roles, I really liked their chemistry as a couple in this drama, they fit very well together, thanks to the director for casting them, and I heard that the model friend Yeonoh it was her first time acting, for her first acting she did excellent. I am satisfied by this drama

Light & Refreshing
I'm not the biggest fan of the fashion industry, nor am I that interested in it, but the drama kept me engaged. I think 8 episodes was perfect - no episode felt like a filler and anything beyond 8 would have probably been unnecessary. The series opened with a failed showcase and ended with a successful one which I think was a nice touch. I enjoyed the fact that the overarching plot related to their career goals and rather not the love story. The love story felt like an enhancement of the story. Something for you to root for beyond just their careers.The side characters were funny but did not take away from the main leads.I enjoyed Seonho's arc the most and considering the actress is firstly a model by profession I think she did an amazing job in the role.
I also really enjoyed the chemistry between Minho and Soobin's characters. I would've fleshed out their back story a bit more but the series remained enjoyable nonetheless. The actors all did a great job. I also really enjoyed the friendship between Woomin & Seonho. Probably my favourite relationship in the show beyond the romantic ones.
I did watch the series primarily because of Minho and like I said I don't have much interest in the fashion industry so I don't know how high I'd rate it on replay value but I quite enjoyed the characters and getting to know their story.
The show was also shot beautifully, you can tell that the production value was very high + the way the title cards for each episodes was shown was a very nice touch.
