Celebrity (2023)
7/10
Great lead, infuriating side-kicks

First off, I like the overall story and I really enjoyed following the main lead. What a talented actress.

But I'm absolutely infuriated with the choices the production team made for some supporting roles.

  • I'm sick and tired of the stereotype the many Korean shows have of a mother - always either screaming, or crying, or laughing hysterically, or saying appallingly stupid things to random people.


  • The other influencers... I just couldn't understand the motivation for their rabid hatred towards our heroine. All they do is plot her downfall, yell, cry, and break things. They don't seem capable of a simple cause/outcome understanding. They seem unable to breathe when she's around or even when her name gets mentioned. Really? Just... why? Because she made one post on Instagram many years ago? Because they are so inherently jealous and evil? Just because the plot needs this?


The main villain seems like a great actress and could have been a great choice for the lead. She actually has an animated face and is capable of portraying emotions. It's a bummer she's given this silly role based purely on hatred and jealousy.

By the way, with hysterical characters like this, how are these people even online? They wouldn't last 5 minutes in a typical online exchange.

Could have been a much better series. As it stands, I want to follow the main storyline, but all the endlessly stupid secondary characters make it a chore.
