compelling storyline
The acting, particularly by Gyu Young, stands out as she delivers a remarkable performance beyond what I initially expected. Her portrayal adds depth to Seo A-ri's character, making her journey to fame more relatable and engaging.The series also excels in cinematography, providing a visually stunning experience. Each scene is beautifully captured, creating a visually appealing and captivating atmosphere. I would expect anything more from Flower Of Evil's director.
While the overall storyline is intriguing, at some times I felt that the focus is too much focus on the antagonists. This may have affected the character development of the male lead.
One aspect that made me feel mixed emotions is the reconciliation between the A-ri and her friend, who had previously created a hate page about her. If I have to be honest, it's still hard to believe and accept.
Nevertheless, Celebrity managed to leave a long-lasting impression on me due to its compelling storyline, outstanding acting, and aesthetically pleasing cinematography.

Jun Kyung had maybe two facial expressions throughout this whole show, but the absolute chokehold he had on me is actually crazy. Other than his character making literally everyone love him, I thought this drama was fast paced and I was sucked in pretty quickly. There wasn't anything very substantial about it, but it was fun and easy to watch and I can't ask for much more than that.
Last little note, that scene during the fashion show when Jun Kyung is just staring at Ari? Yeah. Made me go insane.

Social media is just as shallow
Story: A rich-turned-broke lady had a taste of her previous life but with a twist. She missed the comfortable life that money had brought her but life nowadays is just not the same, because of the existence of advanced technology aka social media. I do like her character though, self-aware, strong willed and confident.Acting: Honestly, the acting is not the best but the flow of the story is binge-able and you just can’t help but play ‘next’. One of the things I loved is the subtle and slow burn romance of A-ri and Jeon Kyung(although I don’t remember him smiling that much)they have this sizzling chemistry on the first half of the series.
Music: Nothing memorable but catchy enough to move along with the music and the sound effects during the scenes with the main couple is appropriate and can give an exciting feeling to root for them.
Rewatch Value: I guess it’s not something that I would personally rewatch but I can totally recommend for people who wants to binge watch.
Overall: 8.5/10. Since I didn’t expect much on this series, I was quite surprised that I finished it in 2 days(of course I had to work and sleep). So, 2 days is quite fast for me. If I didn’t have work, I could finish this in one day, that’s how interesting it was. It’s not too deep but not too shallow as well. It just shows how the life of social media can turn you into an attention-seeking or social climber person. Of course, not everyone is like that, but even so, you would still question yourself, are you one of those people who will comment on random fights online like it would actually benefit you? Are you one of those who get easily convinced of the products endorsed by your idols? Are you one of those who want try or eat those popular food that’s been circulating around the web? It’s a thought-provoking series, however, it’s up to you to realize, if you are easily influenced by these type of advertisements or issues you see online. Just like social media, the series is just as shallow, but not in a bad way, it just represents how shallow the ‘life’ is online. Lastly, I think ‘influencer’ would be a better title.

A badass FL and the perfect balance of thriller & romance
I went into this one kind of nervous — I thought it would be pretty soapy and I'm not a huge fan of dramas about catfights between rich people.BUT. Wow. I was so impressed right off the bat with the FL's personality. She's strong, straightforward, and stubborn, and most importantly is proud of who she is and stands up for it. It was so refreshing, and the drama did an amazing job of making her still seem human and flawed, susceptible to temptations. I couldn't have asked for a better protagonist or a better actress; Park Gyu-young absolutely KILLED it.
I also found that this was just the perfect balance between thriller/mystery and romance. Their scenes fit seamlessly into the plot and of course they're the scenes I'll always go back to rewatch.
Plot-wise, this was just so bingeable. There are annoying side characters but they never overwhelm the plot (or our main lead), and they're actually given each given a bit of backstory as well, which also never seemed out-of-place.
I do think there was a trade-off to be made with the 12 (instead of 16) episode format. On one hand I really loved the fast pacing, but I also wish we had a little more time to handle the final conflict/mystery. There are some more confrontations and reunions I wish we got, some more conversations I wish we saw. But it's small potatoes in the grand scheme of just how much I actually enjoyed watching this show.
Overall, I'm still really impressed with how they wrapped up the ending. It's immensely satisfying but I wouldn't be opposed to a season 2 considering the suspicious final cameo we got...;)

Strong start, good story line, honest reflection
This will be a short one - I loved it!Very clever writing - I can almost see the writers looking at the pompous, artificial life of e-celebrities, wondering where is the value of it, where is the humanity, what’s left of sincerity.
It was refreshing to see the struggles of the main character, the journey of ups and downs. Very brave choice to portrait haters as “commoners” & people who are close to you highlighting the trust and value erosion.
The acting was so good too.
I loved it.

NGGAK EKSPEK SEBAGUS INI
Ini bagus dramanya, jujur awalnya pas nonton ngira bakal drop soalnya aku emang agak pemilih kalau soal drakor, eh ternyata malah bikin nagih dan lanjut terus sampe kelar. 12 eps menurut aku pribadi terlalu dikit ya, karena masih ada beberapa hal yang gak dijelasin gamblang dan dibiarin ngambang gitu aja. Terkhusus di eps akhir, itu alurnya bener-bener dicepetin. Kayak dipaksa buat kelar 12 eps. Itu yang ngebuat alurnya jadi agak drop karena kayak yang aku bilang, masih banyak hal yang perlu dibahas. Endingnya pun menurutku kurang nendang, pas keluar credit scene langsung bingung, “Udah? Gitu doang?”Untuk acting dan cast, ini keren sih. Cameonya nggak kaleng-kaleng wkwk. Chemistry antar aktor juga bagus, romance tipis-tipis mereka bikin gregetan. Karakter Seo A-ri dibawakan dengan baik, apalagi pas dia di titik terendah, aku ikut bisa merasakan rasa frustasinya dia sama keadaan.
Yang bikin aku suka drama ini karena alurnya nggak bosenin. Kayak, konsepnya beda gitu. Aku nggak pernah nemu drakor yang alurnya begini (selebriti, balas dendam) atau aku yang kurang mencari ya? Intinya, ini bisa jadi tontonan menarik kalau lagi kosong, nggak tau mau nonton apa. Aku cukup terhibur kemarin, maraton seharian sampai selesai.

Seo Ari, la perfecta e invencible idol~?
Luego de ver Oshi no Ko, aún tenía ganas de ver algo relacionado con la industria y pues esto fue perfecto, aunque estuviera enfocado en el lado de los influencers.La trama me tenía pegada a la tele, aunque me costó encariñarme con los personajes hasta casi el final. Algunas escenas se me hacían super largas, alargaban mucho las tomas individuales o las miradas, a veces me sentía en Crepúsculo.
El misterio se pone bueno igual, si tarda en llegar a lo pesado pero vale la pena. Seo Ari a veces desespera y peca de imprudente pero al final era buena persona y me agrado su final.
Todos obtuvieron un poco de lo que merecían y eso lo hizo satisfactorio, aunque me hubiera gustado más que pasaran a Seo Ari reuniéndose con su madre o ella planeando tal cual su venganza con su hermano y amiga, como sobrevivió al incidente del auto, etc. Además que el hermano y la amiga salieron ilesos luego del escándalo que provocaron y no parece que Seo Ari tampoco recibió consecuencias por fingir su muerte así que... Aún quedaron muchos cabos sueltos, así que me hacen dudar si habrá segunda temporada

Akin to Reality
What a good hit of reality. It accurately depicted the nature of competition in any field but specifically the Influencers one.PGY was totally fitted to the role, so much so that the line between reality and fiction blurred. Besides her almost all of the cast contributed equal in making the series true to its intention.
One could see that absence of any one of the character would have sunken the ship.
There were No plotholes to be found.
Despite those there were certain scenes with not much plot development, mostly scenes of Mr. Han with Ms.Yoon. The reason might be because we were being introduced to their past and while their story wasnt pivotal to the series it's existence did make the series whole.
All signs of a well produced, great screenplay Drama.

Intense war along the way but ending was tame
The script is extremely well written, most of its dialogues are very detailed and able to live up to its tension. The pacing is great and the storyline spreads out incredibly, the social media war was well thought out and it's quite informative on how the social media business works behind the scene, the main lead who starts from the bottom and eventually becomes a vigilante that purges everyone else stepping in her way. Every trick and stunt in the luxury market reflects on the current society where humans are divided into rankings or levels, it's all highlighted with contrasty cinematography like a wide spectrum of colors. It's just that the ending is a little tame and expected when the war was fought so intensely along the way, but overall it is already one of the better kdrama this year.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Comencé a ver Celebrity porque había visto muchos comentarios en Instagram y no sabía qué ver y decidí darle una oportunidad. La verdad es que comencé a ver este drama sin ninguna expectativa y me voló la cabeza…y prácticamente hice un maratón porque el drama está organizado para eso con los finales de capítulos tan impactantes que tiene…no puedes hacer otra cosa que darle a “Siguiente capítulo”.
La trama se basa en contar la parte “oscura” de las redes sociales y principalmente de las celebridades que se forman a partir de las redes sociales.
La verdad es que me gustaría comentar mucho más pero voy a contenerme por no dar ninguna pista sobre ella. Solo digo que si os apetece una serie de actualidad y con muchos giros, os animo a todos a ver Celebrity.

Something wrong somewhere
Not gonna lie, it got on netflix's top list made me watch the show and the trailer looked very exciting and good. so it looks promising. who doesn't like watching rich people fight over money and be pathetic about it lol.starting first ep, when the fl narrating how she got what she got, i was just gobsmacked. not at how good it is, but how awkward the whole scene is.
the fl acting was so robotic and it looks like she's having hard time to figure out what emotions she should show during that time.
i was quite surprised because the director is not a rookie, i know they directed some well known dramas before.
the the whole describing how influencer works about promoting stuff, the whole editing, showing public reaction, is so dizzying and all over the place. i got dizzy and overwhelmed.
the plot was interesting but the level of execution and idk like editing process? it just makes me stop watching it.

Entertaining, glamorous and fun
I'm loving it. Never watched anything about influencers before. The story is fresh and feels current. There is a big mystery that hopefully will be solved in the end. And some romance added to the mix. I love fashion so watching them parading in those clothes is a treat, and the makeup, etc. are great too. Plus, I like the way they tell the story: the MC talks about a cheat code to make it to the top, but in the end she goes up thanks to random events happening and the right people noticing her, and I think that's close to reality...in the end, making it to the top as a celebrity is a lottery. Those who are talented and know how to position themselves have more tickets, but it guarantees nothing and in the end only a few lucky people are graced with the price.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
