"Salon de Nabi" follows people working in a beauty salon, their day-to-day lives and their relationships.
A light, fun and very easy to watch drama. It's format is very reminiscent of American series, because each episode is different, only keeping the salon as the main setting. It reminded me a lot of "The Office". Everyone in the salon is a normal, realistic person, with their traumas, their tastes and their relationships. This was one of the great positive points of the drama, portraying characters that we can identify with.
Su Ri has a weight problem, Zen was abused and tried to commit suicide, Sang Hui is transgender, Gwang Su has all the weirdness in the world, Gi Ppeum was abandoned by her mother and raised by her grandmother, Mu Yeol couldn't maintain a steady relationship and Michelle is divorced, raising her two daughters alone and taking care of the salon at the same time.
All the characters had their moment in the drama, when the story focuses on them. I especially loved Sang Hui's episode, because being transgender is not something common in Korea, which is why I thought this diversification was incredible. The reaction of the people at the salon was as expected... I just didn't expect that Gwang Su knew about it all along. The best part of all was that they finally realized that whether he's a man or a woman doesn't change anything about the person he really is and the incredible work he does.
