Good Enough

" Almost famous " or " Half Celebrity " was an original drama. It shows the struggles of young actress So Ri, who is trying to be famous for seven years (I think it was seven...) and she still is living an ordinary life, even though she is starting to get recognized.

The story was ambitious and it was filmed in the format of a documentary (I guess a mockumentary), however, it felt chopped, like they edited scenes together, or, rather, they spread the story too thinly. Because it was character-centered, it would have been better if they didn't add that romance story in it and they had rather focused more on her relationship with her ex band members, her career and her journey overall. Unfortunately, many things were skipped forward regarding her career and they opted for a half baked romance and an open ending, which, actually, for me at least, it fitted the personality of the main character.

For the performances, as the drama focused on So Ri, you get most of the scenes with her. The actress did a great job with every scene and she was a delight to watch. The rest of the cast was very professional and enjoyable.

So, overall, five out of ten for this webdrama.

PS I usually rate with a scale from 1 to 8 when it comes to web series
