i totally enjoyed the whole episodes, it was very refreshing, watchable, chill and fun, love the way it give us refreshing, light & heartwarming vibe , (not in terms of plot, but style. i love the no nonsense approach where we didn't get bogged down by misunderstandings or unnecessary plot devices.) a combine of comedy, romance and fashion, and I love the chemistry between the casts, i am hoping for season 2 focusing on ji woomin ang jieun's past relationship. The casts are so lovable. i also love the songs that they used in drama, kinda dissapointed that there's too many unneeded characters for such a short drama too..

I love fashion shows in South Korea. They had two catwalks in this drama... and both were hella good. Let me start with model Park Hee Jung, she is definitely gorgeous! Park Hee Jung is one of the best models to have ever come from Korea. In 2020, she was recognized by the Korea Designer Fashion Awards as the "Model of the Year." Her first gig was LV and many famous brand names of beautiful clothing came after that. I would love to see her in action-fantasy dramas as a Warrior. She did an awesome job in this drama since it is her very first drama. Let me talk about Hwarang star Choi Min Ho... everything about that actor is what's up! He can do no wrong. Great acting skills. Chae Soo Bin who played the first main lead is another awesome actress. I enjoy watching her and have seen her in other dramas. The wardrobes were perfect and that black-laced crisis cross-dress was amazingly beautiful. That knapsack has to go. lol. Thank you to all other actresses, actors, staff, writers, directors, makeup staff, and costume staff, you all did great.

é um ótimo drama, porém eu particularmente achei um pouco lento

eu gostei do drama, é super levinho, também trás algumas críticas necessárias, porém eu particularmente achei um pouco lento, e eu também não gostei dela ter voltado com o ex dela (o que terminou com ela no comecinho do dorama) achava os dois chato, sem química, e odiava todas as cenas deles dois juntos, pulei todas elas.
também não gostei muito de como eles não se aprofundaram na história do protagonista masculino e nem da protagonista feminina, pq tinha vários pontos tanto no quesito de família, no quesito do namoro deles que não foram aprofundados.
um ponto que pra mim é muito positivo, é a amizade deles era muito fofo ver a amizade deles, o jeito que eles se apoiavam, e que smp estavam do lado um do outro.

Disappointed

I was waiting for this drama to come out but it was a totally disappointed. The acting was good (i just watched 4 episodes, I can't continue) but the story is so lame, boring and predictable. There's no really character development, they center a lot of things in Choi Minho just being handsome. I was actually very sad because I was very excited to see Choi Minho but... it was bad (he acts well, the problem is the story itself). I dropped this serie in chapter number 4. If you ask my opinion I totally don't recommend this drama is a waste of time.

It won't change your life

It took me 3 hours to finish episode one, and I get what people are saying. I had a feeling this wouldn't be good since Netlifx postponed the premiere a few times, so my expectations were low and I wasn't disappointed exactly. Also I'm a big fan of both Minho and Soobin, so...

The story is goofy and so are the leads. It reminds me a bit of Record of Youth (which I dropped), and it is very Netflix-esque. It doesn't feel like you're watching a korean production, and that wouldn't bother me if the plot were good. It's just young people living through the fashion world. They talk about exes, drinking and sex. Not in a Lovestruck in the City way (VERY underrated drama), but more like "they gonna be posting clips of this on tiktok" way.

You can watch it quickly (specially dubbed) while doing your chores, like me. You can also skip lots of parts. It won't hurt that much, but it won't change your life either. Minho looks so handsome and Soobin is always good, assuming the character is supposed to be the way she's portraying it.

Will I keep watching? No. There are way too good dramas on my plan to watch list. I'm sorry, Minho.

Need a fabulous experience watch The fabulous.

Really mind-blowing SHINee and actor MINHO is very handsome, sexy, even sometimes I forgot to read the subtitles by watching his face.I need to watch it two or more times to understand what is going on.Minho is so distracting.Coming to the drama their chemistry is mind blowing.I love the friends circle.Fashions is good liked costume.Liked their friendship..I think it's a good start for first episode ...but really MINHO is very distracting... I need to watch it again I can re-watch it again and again. Really a good drama, light hearted MINHO as an x bf is really what I wanted he is fabulous...

The Fabulous Review by Kdramas with Miss Critic

It's a battle for survival in this behind-the-scenes look at Korea's glamorous but not always glitzy fashion industry. It shows the harsh reality of its competitive nature and those who choose to walk its path. Facing this struggle are our four main protagonists, who find support in each other: publicist Pyo Ji Eun, freelance photo retoucher Ji Woo-min, designer Joseph, and senior model Yeo Seon Ho.

Episode 1 opens with a bit of a whirlwind introduction to the fashion, glitz, and glamour we’ll be seeing over the course of the next 7 episodes. Starting the show with a fantabulous bang is a runway show led by renowned designer Joseph (Lee Sang-won) and supermodel Ye Seon Ho. Right from the start, we see the ups and downs of fashion and the types of people within it that we’ll deal with throughout the story.

To be honest, I wasn’t all that interested in the show besides the fact that Choi Minho was starring in it. It had that glamorous and glitzy look to it that I enjoy in dramas, but I wasn’t sure if the premise would hold up for an entire season. It's been done before here and there, so it would be hard to find a unique space for it. The characters, on the other hand, are what hold the show together and make it enjoyable. It has an enjoyable cast, all with distinctly different personalities that mesh well together. All of them have their own interesting side plots that they’re dealing with and sharing with one another. The romance happens to be my favorite part of it. Ji Eun and Woo Min's relationship, in particular, is toeing the line between friendship and something more.

Watch or skip?

I recommend watching it, but I wouldn’t consider it a must-see. It’s not the most deep or groundbreaking show about this sort of subject. However, it's certainly an entertaining watch for the Christmas break. I see myself continuing on and watching it, though it won’t be a binge.

Happy Holidays!

一口气直接看完的一部剧

首先,我的确是因为珉豪才会看这部剧,因为最近(我个人而言)并没有让我期待的剧集所以特别期待The Fabulous的播出。然而经过了7个小时的连续播放,我真的很喜欢这部作品❤️或许故事不是特别的出色,但是我个人而言真的觉得这部剧让我暖心,感动,激昂,很多情绪一涌而上。

我很喜欢这部剧的色彩,服装,演员的表现,画面感等等,服装秀也真的觉得做得很棒,一般戏剧可能会做得比较简单,但是netflix果然不负所望,赞啦。不满的地方就是觉得有点短,所以看着觉得剧情很赶,可是一方面也害怕过长的剧集会导致拖延,看着很闷,可是整体感觉真的很不错,我真的很喜欢✨

La superficialité avec des paillettes

Je n'attendais rien de Fabulous, mais il m'aura ennuyé plus d'une fois.
Le comique n'existe pas ou seulement au détriment de Joseph, interprété par Lee Sang Un. Quant à la romance, elle est hypocrite et forcée au point qu'elle en devient ridicule.

Je n'ai pas aimé ce drama (sans blague ?). Il est vide et manque de profondeur. Les défilés sont un parfait exemple. Ils sont pauvres et l'absence de figurants se fait sentir. Ça m'a rappelé le BL thaïlandais You're My Sky avec ses matchs de basket aux gradins vides.
Il ne me semble pas que le tournait ait été impacté par le Covid, bien que la triste tragédie de Itaewon ait repoussé la sortie. Cela dit, les figurants manquent cruellement. Une poignée de photographes et des plans rapprochés ou sous différents angles ne suffit pas à donner l'illusion, c'est dommage.

The Fabulous rassemble une majorité de ce que je n'apprécie pas dans les dramas. La superficialité à son paroxysme tant dans sa vie professionnelle que personnelle. Une bonne (une avalanche) d'hypocrisie. Juste des filtres, rien de concret.

Quant au message du drama (et à moins d'être littéralement à côté de mes pompes) : être riches, beaux et en bonne santé c'est plus facile qu'être pauvres, moches et mal fichus. Merci Captain Obvious !

Bref. Oubliable.

Me dieron ganas de continuar con mis Sueños

Excelente entrega, me gustó mucho el desarrollo de cada uno de los personajes. Luchas por lo que queremos es muy importante y satisfactorio. Los actores lo hicieron muy bien en cada uno de sus roles. Había desistido de soñar pero esta serie me dió las pautas que necesito para no dejar de soñar. me dieron ganas de seguir con mis objetivos y metas que tengo por alcanzar. Espero poder lograrlo. Cómo siempre los Doramas dejándonos una gran enseñanza. También la amistad entre ellos es fabulosa porque se apoyan mutuamente y eso es importante, yo también tengo ese tipo de amistad. Gracias!

The Fabulous veio para entregar tudo e mais um pouco. Tem personagens maravilhosos, engraçados e carismáticos, um grupo incrível que amei muito, sério, a amizade aqui é daquelas que você deseja participar de cada momento deles junto com eles. Esse kdrama também tem um visual lindo, amo essas paletas de cores desse dorama. Gostei tanto que mostrou os dois lados do mundo da moda, como me fez ver com outros olhos o dia a dia de trabalho de quem escolheu essa profissão e a vida dos 4 protagonistas, tudo isso só com 8 episódios. vale a pena assistir!

Muchos desfiles de moda

No me termino de convencer. La vi completa igual en 3 dias porque son apenas 8 capitulos.
Romance no me convencio. Spoiler: El protagonista es su ex que corto hace 3 años y ella sale con un chico rico pero nunca muestrean mucho la interacion entre ellos. se supone que como él es rico y le interesa los numeros y ella se dedica a la moda: la ve fribola pero despues vuelve porque reconoce su trabajo. Pero cuando vuelve.. nunca parecen que fuesen novios.
Y despues, todo el tema.. de los neogocios me parece que esta mejor por ejemplo en start up.
No sé, ni el romance ni los negocios (los defiles) me convencieron demasiado.
La amiga modela rescatable. Me gusto su impronta. Decia las cosas de frente.
El amigo diseñador cumplio su sueño. :)
Y la pareja? que se yooooo..... me hubiese gustado que sea mas no se.. que jugada? :)
