Glamorous lives of influencers

The drama is basically about how Ari rises to a top influencer position and the people she meets and makes enemies with along the way. And, of course, how she exposes them.
I liked the drama overall. I mainly loved Ari's chemistry with Junkyung and kinda wanted to watch them more than the other cliche beaches of influencers. I also felt like it was too long for a Netflix show, as they're usually max 8 eps, while this one was 12 eps. The reason I gave it a bit low on the rewatch value is exactly because of this. I don't see people who likes a fast watch would rewatch all of the 12 eps again. They felt a bit long with the lack of proper action or more romance. Tho I must say this is just my preference. So folks who doesn't like much romance, will love the underlying slow romance going on. The acting and the production quality are good, so it was still a nice watch.
I still have to mention that I wanted more romance. I was also disappointed with the villain. I expected they'd do a cool murder mystery, but it was more of a life lesson theme instead... I legit expected the sweetest character Shihyeon, to turn out to be a psycho villain as a plot twist, but nope, she was actually simply just nice T_T
Nevertheless, I loved how Park Gyu Young and Kang Min Hyuk had a lovely chemistry and a cute couple to watch. I really wished they'd gave more of them... still portrayed a nice slow burn romance. Tho plot-wise they lacked more background info on why they were the way they were. Like at times I was confused about whether Junkyung was actually a nice guy or a bored playboy, or whether Ari had a traumatic love experience in the past that made her so cold towards Junkyung even after kissing or she was just very introverted? I just wished they filled more in to the main characters personalities & past, rather than introducing buch of superficial mean girls.
