A preachy story with a broody Min Hyuk in a convertible ~~~
The story started with our FL trying to make a living while being curious about the life of the influencers. Slowly she is pulled into their world, then from then it was a loop of Seo Ari being bullied-Min Hyuk in his broodiness suave coming to her rescue-antagonists bitching about her-then she making a comeback-repeat. The initial comment they made where FL is arguing with an influencer about having hate comments or digital image on sns is no big deal to cut to in the end FL trying to commit suicide because of same reasons. It was preachy and hypocritical.
Acting wise it was okay and I think antagonists did a way better job than the main people. They truly annoyed me. Uri smiley Min Hyuk became a sexy chaebol flashing his million dollar suit & convertible. The scene where he removes his shoes was oh my God so extraaa. Rich people in Korea do you really do that? And you call that a tradition? If not then that was way over extra.. Lol.. There were some facepalm moments too, say after the club incident the FL was like a person is dying and rich people don't care blah blah , cut to next scene she came home and started celebrating her increase in followers. Seriously the production should review what they are editing!! Another one where she finds out the guy is dead and cut to next scene she is in a convertible holding hands with Min Hyuk. Then she asks him to drop her nearby because she wants some fresh air to which our hero opens his car roof of the convertible. That was some ultra cringy flex dude.
Netflx making comments on about how business are feeding off audience attention felt superficial to me. I mean the business itself does that. Anyway its an okay show just showing off its production value because they can afford to. You may or may not like it, its your preference. The story seemed to be written in a rush to attain viewership rating by flexing brands & "it" culture.
TMI- I feel dramas are stereotyping rich, chaebols, influencers too much. Hate comments online are a serious issue and I don't think being a celebrity would automatically entitle you to hate based on limited information. I don't know I may be wrong but that's how I feel about it.
