Fame comes at a price

I started watching Celebrity without expecting much, but it turned out to be a surprisingly good watch, and I'm glad I gave it a chance.
The story revolves around the world of influencers and the lengths they go to in order to achieve fame. We follow Seo Ah Ri, who comes from a wealthy family but finds herself working as a cosmetic saleswoman after her family goes bankrupt. Then, through a series of events, she enters the world of social media and quickly rises to fame. But of course, fame always comes with a price! And we get to see how she deals with all the craziness that comes with it.

I think the show did a great job covering the story. The competition among the influencers was intense, it was like a never-ending war of egos and ambitions. They didn't hesitate to throw each other under the bus to stay on top and gain more fame. I enjoyed the fact that they keep it realistic, and it got me hooked throughout the show.

About the ending, I was quite content with the twist, even though it was predictable. It was satisfying to see everyone getting what they deserved in the end.
And I really enjoyed the romance part too. (but it was not the main focus here, so don't expect a full-blown romance) Although there was no mention of it in the synopsis, there was a sweet slow-burn romance between Jun Kyung and Seo Ah Ri, and I think it added a nice touch to the whole story.

Based on the final scene, I have a feeling there might be a second season, possibly with Junho being part of it I guess? (fingers crossed!). It was a nice surprise to see him. But if there is going to be a season 2, I hope they bring in a whole new cast since Seo Ah-ri's story feels complete, and I feel like there is nothing more to tell anymore.

So, Celebrity was an enjoyable watch. If you're looking for an engaging drama with a bit of romance, I recommend giving it a try!
