Toxic relationship central
Just in the first the main woman cheats on her boyfriend with an ex and tries to hide it from her boyfriend. Then later on in the episode these friends try to make this woman apologise to a clearly toxic boyfriend. Also in the first the guy fires a model for no clear reason it still confuses me I hope it wasn't because of her looks. I was excited because it was Minho but was very bored and disgusted on a whole. The first episode was the trailer put into one so I don't think the rest of the episodes will be anymore exciting.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Not so Fabulous
Charming , entertaining , undemanding .Excellent cast , all parts well performed especially by the two top designers .
It did not get me involved , I did not really feel the pull between the two central characters , little chemistry between them ,
Charming characters but lightweight . Good interaction between the four friends .
It ends well for everyone and the future does look bright .
Visually very attractive .
Glad it was only short , glad I saw it , glad I can now forget it !

Binge-worthy romance
A very sweet romantic comedy. Amazing acting and a cute story, good chemistry between actors and amazing friendship between main characters. The portrayal of the 4 best friends was really good, it felt so natural. I believe the side couple could have had a bit more screen time, because they were just adorable together. Not as long, so a really nice watch for a lazy weekend. Sometimes I found some scenes a bit boring, but the funny and romantic scenes made up for it. Definitely a really good romcom to watch!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Bite-sized, one day KDrama
The main reason that I watched this is because it's just 8-episodes and I feel like I need to watch full KDrama in a day and this fits perfectly into that category. To be honest, at first I am hesitant because I'm not into fashion thingy. I thought they'd be too technical that eventually I won't be able to relate but boy, I was wrong. Whether you have an interest in fashion or you're just a curious K-Drama lover, this series is still enjoyable.While I'm not an expert, I feel like the artistry used in this is somehow realistic yet I feel like it's not exactly too detailed (and I'm guessing it's a lot much more different in real life) The friendship among these 4 people is also just amazing (another friendship that I wish I had) the romance part though is not so much entertaining for me. I don't feel any sparks within the main lead love line. (I honestly loved SeonHo with her new boyfriend more although they had limited screentime. His dedication to SeonHo is unmatched really. Then here we have main leads who don't know what they're doing. Even the love triangle trope is a meh.)
Overall, I'm glad I stuck around for this one until the end. Their stories are definitely fun to watch and seeing them giving their all to their profession is just inspiring. If you're looking for a series that is just light-hearted yet you don't have much time, I recommend this.

A drama that feels incomplete at times
It has only 8 episodes and four characters to follow, maybe that is why everything feels so rushed. But even as I sat grinning from ear to ear as Woomin finally got the girl I still asked myself, was that it? I understand the characters and their motivations, and the story makes sense too, except a lot of things happen just because the lead character is the lead...and why do all the men like her so much? How is she considered intelligent and clever when she seems to mess up most of the time and always calls someone (Woomin) for help. Ye Seon Ho is jobless for most of the drama and you know only towards the end that she was one of the 'top' models in the industry...nice to know towards the end just how important she was. All in all, I did like the drama, its a good watch if you just want to pass time watching something fun and entertaining.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Charming work-place drama in the fashion industry
It’s a charming little 8-episode series. There’s no strong plot, but instead you just follow the lives of this tight-knit group of friends. The main cast of the fabulous have great chemistry and are really charming that it really makes you want to root for them! The plot points focus strongly on the fashion industry so if that’s something that interests you, you might enjoy this one! This show kind of reminds me of the Bold Type or similar Freeform dramas. The music is catchy and suits the drama well to give the right atmosphere. I’ve added them to my playlist! It’s only 8 episodes so it’s a very low commitment show and easy binge if you were on the fence about watching it!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Congratulations Actor Choi Minho
Congratulations Actor Choi Minho and the rest of the casts! I enjoyed watching the show and I liked the story. Great acting Minho as well as the other casts. I also liked the OSTs used. Each and every episode raised my anticipation of the flow of the story until the end. In my opinion, 8 episodes is just enough so as not to drag the story line. I am sooo proud of Actor Choi Minho. He perfectly portayed his character smoothly and naturally. He delivered his emotions perfectly. I hope he will have other acting projects such as action, suspense movie or series.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Fancy, fashion and fabulous
The world of fashion is not a difficult world to showcase on screen. Fans of Devil Wears Prada know very well that what makes a show based on fashion a hit is not its glitter and pomp but the rawness of the character it shows. The strongest point of The Fabulous is it's fantastic storyline that tackles the most wonderful of ways for characters to develop, mature and yet never feel too tedious.In its main leads, much like Devil Wears Prada, The Fabulous never misses to show the reality of what makes the world of fashion so fancy yet so difficult to tread inside: passion. The main characters are a mix bunch, a marketing agent, a photographer, a model and a designer yet all tied by the same threads of the hard work to pursue that they really wish. I think that is what makes them so "fabulous".
In a society that is still stringent about same sex relationships being publicly showcased, The Fabulous tackles queer relationships with a sensitivity and normalcy that I wished other dramas did. While you watch these special relationships blossom in their own way even though with very less dedicated screentime you still feel heavily for them.
And yet amidst all this, the glamour and the drama of the fashion is not lost. Watchers of Emily in Paris who love the drama of the show, need to watch Fabulous for an even better treatment of the world. Get ready to dazzle your eyes and often also feel deeply for these characters.

Interesting and complicated yet very fun to watch
As many shawols like me only started this show for Minho’s fiery charisma and his visuals.I entered the show with no idea what i was gonna watch. I was instantly hooked by the aggressive amd fast oaced start of the show in ep 1. The chemistry between the mains is indestructible. Every scene they’re together its just perfect. In my opinion is Joseph the hidden gem of this series. He makes every scene hes in enjoyable.
My only dislikes in this show has one of the most complicated and useless plot-streched romance story ive seen. The Nam-jin arc was in my opinion useless but a bit need for the drama.
Henry first arc was confusing at first but became wholesome at the end while mixing with the main romantic arc.
A most deserving arc of all was joseph appointment as creative director. Ive never been so happy for a fictional character getting a job.
The fabulous doesnt have any sad aspects to it but it still was able to make me cry. Seeing Joseph crying after devoting so much to his career and to be at the position he affected me emotionally. Ji-eun rejecting Woo-min and Woo-min crying made me cry aswell.
Overall this show was very enjoyable, wholesome and dramatic and i hope that itll get a season two. 9/10

Insight for my generation
Admittedly I watched because of the promise of friendship revival among fashion industry workers. You do have to look that good all the time plus practice good manners if you're working in PR. It's hyperreal because we see callous celebrities and influencers continue to thrive when in fact rumors travel faster than light for those kind of antics. Fame won't take you places but lineage that corresponds with money does.Having 4 main characters amidst an evolving love story between the 2 can be disorienting but this gang is solid! The approach to each character's back story may seem impractical but once we embody the "ride or die" motto, we're in for a treat.
I'd like to dub this a story of my generation particularly in Korean culture (in Korea itself as well as in ventures run by Korean elders). We're overworked. We try hard to let off steam by taking up whatever liberalism provide. We're not so numb, bored perhaps, but there's always wisdom around the corner to be thankful for. Thus, I think each character went through deep thinking mode when entering crisis. It's not shown nor mentioned but we know they do so everytime a change of mindset is present. Self developing insight is probable!
Lastly, watching a cis male designer with a hint of queer sexuality surrounded by love is never quite enough. However, I'm hopeful for off screen social change instead of asking for more visibility in an 8 episodes slice of life drama. That includes a social change where younger Korean workers can laugh cry express themselves, perhaps through living more passionately or from actually trying to understand our tendency in dating/mating?

A MUST WATCH AND REWATCH
You can finish in one sitting and it deserves a rewatch. :) Characters are easy to love and very relatable. The characters are so real that I can imagine meeting people with the same attitud as Ji Eun, Woomin, Joseph and Seonho. TBH I watched the drama to support Minho but I totally fell in love with Seon ho's character. She's such a badass woman and knows what she wants! I also love the portrayal of Joseph and Seonho's supportive families! I also love the chemistry of the 4 leads and they made me believe that they really are true friends. My only problem about it is that some story lines weren't polished enough. That's why I gave the story 9.5 stars hoping that they can do a better execution if there will be a 2nd season.All in all it is a very light drama with interesting sneak peaks about the fashion industry. Give it a watch!!
