A taste of the good life, and the addiction it brings.

Just what would you do to get one more taste of fame?

Celebrity is an interesting narrative of living life online, and just how that pristine perfection might be hiding the secrets that lurk beneath.

To start off, I honestly thought this would be a lot lighter of a romance (I just clicked and watched) but the storyline is so much deeper than it seems. It follows a girl who was once rich, lost everything, and then glimpses a chance to get it all back. That drug proves to be too tempting, and she falls head first into a world built on the most premium of lies.

Let's be clear, Seo A-ri is not the most likable character. She does as she pleases, sinks her claws into who she needs, and is downright stubborn when being pushed around. She sometimes hurts those who are trying to help her, has an incredibly large sense of pride, and maintains a clear vision of where she wants her future to go. That being said, I didn't hate her. I wanted her to succeed despite everyone else trying to take her down. As you watch, you learn all her faults are just a shield against the world and she's desperately afraid of hurting those close to her. It redeemed her a little.

The acting is quite good, but the nasty troupe do get a little ad nauseum after twelve episodes. I found myself skipping through a lot of the villains scenes, and didn't feel like I missed anything as it was just one more scene where they do the dance one more time. Despite this, I continued watching and without much trouble. The storyline is interesting, I enjoyed the flow of the past and present, and the editing was meshed well all around. My only real gripe is the ending is too rushed. There was a lot of repetitiveness leading up to the last few episodes, but then we sped through all the parts and reveals that I think would have really made this drama memorable.

Would I watch again? I doubt it. I loved the main couple, despite them having little quality screen time, and the chemistry of the likable characters was enough to keep me clicking to the next episode. However, it's not something I imagine I would want to experience again.

I would say give it a go if you like a short revenge drama, and some tantalizing chemistry between the mains.
