Ahjumma Reviews: The Fabulous

Ep 1 of The Fabulous (2022) is glossy, kitschy and unapologetic of the excesses of the fashion and advertising industry. Two episodes after, it revealed its true colors. It’s the Kdrama we all want to escape to when life is being a bitch.



While it romanticizes the despair of the young professionals’ heartbreak from jaded colleagues and discrimination in the workplace, I am happy of three things:

1. The reference to Bangtan as global icon;
2. Choi Minho in a romantic lead role; and
3. The portrayal of the successful ahjumma who guides and mentors trumps the likes of Miranda Priestly.
It’s streaming on Netflix this holiday season. Go check!
