10+ plot holes and 0 character development

i am always sceptical of netflix original series since they’re usually trash. so going into this show blind, i didn’t have any expectations AT ALL! but it was surprisingly intriguing

from the start, it was implied that seo ari was supposed to be dead. but she went live on ig one day and we were left wondering if she was really alive. i was mostly curious about why and how she died, how she survived, and i also wanted to know bbbfamous’ true identity. those were my motivation to complete this drama.

although i found this drama quite entertaining overall, there were many plot holes in the story especially towards the end that i could not simply turn a blind eye to. there were also a lot of montage in the beginning, where the PPL came in. it was awkwardly obvious lol

furthermore, character development was nowhere to be seen in this drama. ok, our fl did have a tiiiiiiiiny bit of character development. but the others? they were just too busy with themselves and their follower count.

moving on to the one thing i hate the most from this drama: the characters were screaming, yelling and throwing things every time they had the chance. it was not a makjang drama, so why were they acting like that? chaehee was the character who contributed the most scream and yell in this drama. she was extremely annoying and childish. all she did was complaining and wining *go away negative energy* or were those the side effects of her drug addiction? *eye emoji*

anyway, i was surprised when it was revealed that ari’s bff was one of her haters. but i was even MORE surprised seeing ari accepting her lame excuse. unless ari was a saint, it made no sense. if i were ari, my feelings would have hurt hundred times more than the hate comments written by netizens. because not only that she left hate comments, she had an exclusive hate account for ari. what a snake!

the romance between ari and joonkyung had so much potential tbh. but since the focus of the drama was not romance, i couldn’t ask for more
