Had potential to be one of the best shows of the year
It was no surprise that Kang min hyuk and Park guy young were perfect as seo ah ri and Han Joon kyung. Kang min hyuk played my favorite character and one half of my favorite couple on heirs.This show had a lot of potential and started out great. But the pacing I guess? It was like they were having so much fun with the plot that they forgot that they had only 12 episodes to tell the entire story and then before they realized it was already episode 11.
Like this show had it all. The tension was there, the leads had so much chemistry and I was so invested in the plot like I wanted to find out so bad who BBB famous was and when her best friend was sitting in the police station l literary screamed and was like OMG this is insane is it her friend? But it turned out to be nothing and it actually turned aut to be this unknown extra and then she killed herself and we were throwing like some kind of pity party for her? Like why that girl was literally a terrorist and she never gave us an explanation for her actions and the entire live stream turned out to be a deepfake
All in all I Don't regret watching but idk is I will be rewatching. Maybe just for the leads.

?? can be rated as best drama of the year
I can't believe I am writing a review. I never write review until the drama is really good and this drama is totally that drama of the yearI never thought I will watch this drama as I am into Rom- com dramas but this drama is an exception
First of all what a wonderful cast and acting
Both leads are the stealers especially FL and Ml both did justice to the role
I expected more romance but this cast and story really makes up for it
I will definitely tell to start watching it first after 1 st episode you will be definitely get hooked up like me
I was watching this drama without a skip till end 😍. I would definitely tell this drama can bag awards this year.
I can't believe I am writing this review as I never write any review until I am sure that the drama is blockbuster and this drama is it
Suspense part is also good 👍 and the male lead will make you fall in love with him
Must watch 😍😍😍

Solid 7. It was fun just not my type of fun.
I have been giving high reviews recently so I am excited to give this one a solid 7. I thought my drama meter was broken, turns out I still had places where I draw the line on bad.The drama ended and I still didn't root for any of the characters, I didn't trust or believe anyone including FL. This is not what I typically watch dramas for and if it wasn't a full binge I probably wouldn't have finished.
Many smart moves and for once the police weren't bad - he might actually be my favorite. I appreciate the point of the story just can't help but think it was lacking in delivery. The villains survived far too long with their pity schemes and the only "true" villain's downfall was a behind-the-scenes prep. I am not gonna write an essay about it so I'll stop here. It was fun while it lasted but the production, cast, cameos, and acting were superior to the plot. I also don't get why we couldn't get a better happy ending when the ending was supposed to be happy. Like really no cute couples? The best couple scenes were given to the Sihyeon and not Ari?

Ari is such a well-written and admirable character that makes you want to root for her in any way. Through her eyes, the ugly world of social media, influencers, and the the trajectory of these influencer's hunger for fame and luxury items were unraveled. I also love how Sihyeon's character was written. In almost every KDrama I've watched the ex-girlfriend is usually pretty jealous, but Sihyeon oozes so much class that you can't help but love her. The influencers on this show were evil fr and it honestly goes to show how much these influencers/celebrities we love would go to keep their fame and fake lives. Not a single one of them was likable in my opinion. It's disturbing how the internet can be and how we can lash out at people we barely know based on what we read, hear, and see. I loved the way the writers broke it down. There's so much this drama was trying to convey.....the shallow-mindedness of measuring one's worth and even happiness according to the brands one carries. The entire plot leaves the audience with so much to reflect. The desire to be part of the high society living, to be in the who's who on social media, to be somebody....makes me wonder if that's all there is to live in this modern world.
The downside of this show was that the ending was a bit rushed and some things not being explained clearly but if it's cause the show was centered on how Ari went from being a door-to-door seller to an E-celeb, nevertheless, it was still had an unsatisfactorily ending. But regardless, this show is solid, and as usual Studio Dragon never disappoints.

An Enduring Love Entwined with Revenge
The drama as a whole in my opinion was well executed, leaving viewers wanting another season and wondering whether the story truly is finished. For me, what really made thus series likeable is the attitude of Seo Ari, unlike most of our female leads in Kdrama's she wasn't happy-go-lucky nor did she fall into the arms of our male lead Han Ju Kyoung. And Han Ju Kyoung was an amazing male lead, giving us that satisfying trope of 'he fell first and then fell harder. As an audience we could see that special 'like' he had for her develop into something closer to love. At times the plot was confusing or a little bit too simple but who am I to complain? All in all, fantastic kdrama, enjoyable and definitely re-watchable.Was this review helpful to you?
Filled with Drama and twists
The Plot twist was crazyI honestly thought it was like "fabulous" and wouldn't be too deep but by episode 2 I was hooked, I had to know what happened. Definitely not a cliche kdrama, it’s really good and the chemistry was so cute I had to binge watch it. I really love how the characters are neither good nor bad, they are complex. Would definitely recommend.

interesting and unique storyline
I actually enjoyed this one thoroughly, the plot twists and the storyline was quite interesting but I did think the ending was quite unsatisfactory. Some parts were quite cringe but overall good fun . I don’t think I would rewatch this anytime soon— but maybe a bit later in the future. i found some of the characters way too annoying sometimes but im also glad the main character got casted bc I missed her a lot from Its Okay to Not Be Okay!! so happy to see her again in this one. the love story was okay.Was this review helpful to you?

Hooked
This is the second time I’ve watched this show, but first time reviewing it. Much of my opinions on it remain the same the second time, and I wanted to make some observations.First, it’s very addictive. It’s super easy to binge in one sitting or over a couple days, and it keeps you hooked. The dual timeline does a really good job of grabbing you right away and wanting to find out what goes down. You really root for Ari and pray for the downfall of the super rich, spoiled people. There was a good amount of glamour, intrigue, and mystery to go around.
Second, it’s a decent social commentary on the dangers of social media. It made a lot of good points on how our lives are consumed by strangers and the damage it can cause. Even the bbbfamous girl made valid points in the end, despite being messed up. Why do we concern ourselves with people who flaunt their wealth when so many people can’t begin to reach their level, and why do we care so much about them?
Third, I HATED the ml. Nothing against the actor, but the romantic plot line did not need to exist. He was arrogant, entitled, and just so bland as a character. Ari should have stuck to her guns and not gotten with him. People like that piss me off and I couldn’t get behind it. They would have been better as friends or acquaintances.
Finally, the acting overall was a bit weak. Park Gyu Young was great, but the ensemble cast felt one note. Don’t get me wrong, the bad guys were good at being the bad guys, but some of those snooty celebrities just swore and huffed the entire time and didn’t show any other emotions or depth. The only other stand out was Kim Noh Jin, who played bbbfamous. Even though we only got to see her as revealed in the final episode, her scenes were good. She was very chilling.
This is a good drama to throw on during your free time, and highly entertaining. Good for rewatches too.
Side note: that Lee Jun Ho cameo was random, haha. He and Park Gyu Young look like they could play siblings! Make it happen!

Cute!
Just finished camping and I love it.I love the behind-the-scenes of how they portray the reality of social media. How fans need to realize that they are humans too and there’s a limit to everything.
But, I love romance. I wish there were more romantic moments between the two main leads but overalls I just love the story. The revenge was outstanding. I'm in love when mains know how to give real consequences to those pitches BAHAHAHA. I love their acting tho. Omg those GIRLS were hot and amazing portraying their characters. Well deserved. Ngl some scenes of Ari looks like HYURI. Aweeee I miss Hyuri so much. But anyways, j would definitely recommend watching this if your looking for a quick kdrama show.
The ending made me move to King the LAND. Ifyyk🤣🤣

Surprising hit of suspense and romance
Surprisingly, I like this drama. The reason is the FL & ML. Wow the chemistry!!! They both acted really well too, especially the FL. I wish more romance storyline was developed to give the ML more screen time!I am not interested in the girls influencers. But learned some aspects about them. I have seen some K influencers in real life instagram so now I understand the perspective.
Very good drama. I just wish for a more dimensional development and not so many flashbacks and forth. It's confusing. I understand that they purposely did that to creative the confusion and suspense that she was killed. BUT come on! The FL can't be killed when there are 3 episodes left!! Give me a break!
But despite everything, still giving this drama high rating because I enjoyed watching it. I finished in 1 day !!!

i was suprised
at first i did not want to start this drama because i am not interested in social media or influencers however i gave this drama a chance and i was suprised!we follow the story of Ari who wants to earn easy money with social media but there is more to it...
even the beginning of the first ep is !!! cause we are watching the present and past time of the storyline.
i won't say any spoilers besides that this drama shows well how hate in the internet and jelousy works and how insane people aact to become famous.
one point i missed a bit is that there could have been a bit of more romance but this is clearly not a drama about romance but give me 10 more minutes with this couple! :D
i also disliked the quick ending with one of the bad people, like show me the history of this person!
overall i binge watched this drama and give it a 9/10 :)
ps: do not ever post harmful stuff on the internet, this drama is a reminder.

DISCALIMER: THERE'S A LOT OF TRIGGERS INTO THIS KDRAMA
I really liked the story and got really excited with the plot twists, this drama really got me watching 12 episodes in 2-3 days, I just needed to see what would happen. Despite all the good things about this series, we need to talk about the triggers it contains, Netflix's parental rating is 16 years, but I really think this should be an 🔞I loved to see some special appearances like Jung Yoo-jin (W, Romance is a bonus book, snowdrop) and Seol In-ah (Business Proposal, Mr. Queen, Oasis).
An actress that I really enjoyed seeing as a main character was Lee Chung-ah, this was the third kdrama that I watched with her and she's always stunning!
