In all honesty I didn’t manage to watch the last 2 episodes just because I read how it ended and I didn’t want to waste 2 more hours of my time on this mess…
Story- The beginning was great; very new stuff I hadn’t seen before and it remained that way till about half way in. Then the plot just stalled and the same repetitive situations just kept happening. There wasn’t any development or resolutions by the end. Speaking of the ending I didn’t watch it but read it and even that made me want to rip my hair out. Fortunately because I didn’t actually see what happened I didn’t lol. Still the writers had me coming back week after week and I never became bored to the point of skipping episodes or scenes.
Acting/Cast- The acting by the 4 leads was fabulous. Unfortunately for them their dialogue was so pointless, but I do applaud them for doing the best they could with what they were given. I was really impressed with newcomer Lee Je Hoon and hope to see him in a better drama next time. The supporting cast was great and served their purpose.
Music- matched the moody/dark themes of this show. It didn’t grab me enough to want to give it a listen outside of it though.
Rewatch- If the ending wasn’t so messed up I probably could have watched it again but yeah this is a no way in hell.
Overall Fashion King has an amazing lead cast but is overall disappointing in terms of development in story and characterization. Watch at your own risk!
