I’ve been waiting for this drama for a while. I’m a huge Shawol as they are my ult and Choi Minho is a part of it. He’s such a charming guy on and off screen, and I am supporting his works where ever they are. All the content with him in it I will devour, he deserves that from me. For this drama I want it to be a 10/10 but it’s not. Still it’s not as bad as people are saying it is. People all have their different tastes but to rate a drama you have to think about what it is trying to do over what you want it to be.

This drama is about the fashion industry and right away is is very glamorous and pretty to look at. All the sets shine and there is not a bad angle for anyone in this show. If you want a gritty melodrama you will not find that here. At the beginning you know what you are getting into with the relationship drama, and if you don’t like that then don’t watch it. Personally I’m not a fan of that, but I’m rating based off what this drama accomplishes for itself. It tells the story of adults in the fashion industry and goes over their relationship issues- it’s not trying to be super dark or tell a big story. People being upset about the ‘slow’ or boring natures of the show just need to stay away from these dramas as a whole. It’s a slice of life type show without too much of an overarching plot unless you see it within the relationships of the characters.

The acting is good for who the characters are. Chae Soobin is given a character who is very ambitious but makes a lot of mistakes. She is too ambitious and chaotic for her own good at times. With that character she acts the role of Ji Eun very well. I don’t necessarily like her character too much, I don’t even like Minho’s character too much. Not all dramas are going to be about perfect people, they were an old fling and have a lot of chemistry. Minho’s character Woomin is charming for some of it, but he still is possessive for others. He’s not the total green flag that I really want Choi Minho to play. But he is Woomin, and he really sells that because I get disappointed in him even though his face is Choi Minho’s.

I am surprised no one is talking about the things this drama is showing that are very good for Korea. It has a successful gay male lead who isn’t a stereotype, he’s got talent and he isn’t looked down upon for his sexuality. It barely is brought up, he is an actual character other than a prop.

The OST’s are there. Especially at the end of the first episode. I really like the ending of each episode as they aren’t too much of a cliffhanger. You can binge this show easily as it stops the story and sets it up in the next episode, with that being said you can watch this any time without bingeing also.

I really don’t understand the whole acting complaints people have. It’s the characters you don’t like- not the acting. My favorite character is the supermodel Seonho. I can put past aside my major bias for Minho and realize he’s not perfect. I do like flawed characters because they are more human, the same with this drama. It’s not perfect- the only perfect drama I’ve seen is the Untamed- and that’s because I look past its flaws because I just love it so much. I can see all the flaws with this show but that doesn’t make me write it off as being unwatchable. This show is very watchable; it’s not very long, it’s not offensive, it’s got Choi Minho, and it’s pretty fabulous to look at. Not a 10/10, but it’s a good watch if you want a fashion drama, a young adult drama, a drama that’s not too dramatic.
